This time's art update will contain all the files for book2 which were still left. Amongst other things there's the end scenes for the love route, some Lia "food files" and even a Mai scene which never made it into the game. Be sure to check out the gif folder!
As always, the download will contain a txt file with links to earlier archives so you wo...

Art update 28!
Time for another art update!
But first we'd like to say we're happy to see Patreon has grown a brain and decided to not go through with their plan to change the fees system. This will be old news to most of you, but for anyone who doesn't know, Patreon wanted to rollout some pretty big changes in how patrons are charged. It would affect the lower tier patrons in an especially bad way which would be ridiculous for a crowd funding platform. After receiving the rig...

Wooohoo art update 27!
Well, I can finally talk more freely about what we've been doing! Most of you will have had the chance to play around with the new build. If you haven't and don't want to be spoiled you might want to avoid reading the rest of this update.
So we've been getting a lot of positive feedback on Toph which I was really happy about. Like I've said before, Toph was a stubborn character to get a handle on and I'm pretty sure she'll remain that way, but at l...

We’re proud to present the introductory build of Book 3!
As we mentioned in a previous post, this version has a lot of background and character art, as well as focus on minigames and dialogue, but is light on the H-content.
There are two new monstrous - and monstrously awesome - engines in this build that we hope will add features of adventure and choice.
We’ve got big plans for Book 3 and are excited that most of the framework is in place, so that we can ...

Art assets update 17!
We're getting closer and closer to the new build, but there's still something else which needs to be taken care of and that's the art assets update!
This time there's some Mai, Azula, Lia, Ty Lee, shady's slavegirl and other bits and bobs in there. We haven't depleted all of the files in book 2 yet, but we're getting pretty damn close so I'm happy it won't be long before I can also start picking from the new book 3 material.
Hey all!
If you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope it’s going well! I just wanted to give you a quick update on the status of Book 3.
It’s been a buttload of work creating the framework, but that’s always the way with the first version of a Book. We’re pleased to announce that there will be not one, but THREE main locations. This one’s way ahead of Book 1 and 2 in terms of gameplay depth, and we’ve got some big ideas about how to keep that a main focus, without making thing...

I've been wanting to write one of these art updates earlier, but kept telling myself I'd just finish this one extra drawing which I had on my list before doing so. Well, that list has turned out to grow a lot faster than I thought. Don't get me wrong, I've been enjoying it a lot, but I'm getting a very distinct feeling of cutting off hydra heads.
It was even the first time the coder had to remind me he needed a certain set of pics rather sooner than later! Not because I've been twid...

Happy Halloween to all of you! I've been pretty busy but couldn't let Halloween pass without at least acknowledging it in my own twisted way. Nope, we don't have an ingame Jack-o'- lantern like the last time, just a pic of three girls dressed for the occasion. Less is more when it comes to Halloween outfits :)
I think I'll have some proper previews of Toph for you in my next art update, but for now you'll have to make due with our Halloween monster girls. See the attached file for a bigg...
2017-10-31 13:02:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey gang,
Well, the results are in and continuing development right through to the end of November won by a landslide! Not having to waste time putting together a playable build allows us to keep on developing and will provide a better experience in the long run. The process of creating a build costs us a lot of time every month (closing loops, bug-hunting, editing again), and being able to hold that off saves us a chunk of time and allows us to develop a more engaging introduction to Book 3!<...
2017-10-24 14:35:57 +0000 UTC View PostHey team,
Book 3's in the works! But we need your help making a decision.
We want to make sure we have the world properly built before we dive into H-scenes in order to keep content balanced per route and to limit/prevent losing saves with new updates. That requires a lot of planning and code. We tried to do it simultaneously with content in Book 2, and it led to a lot of complications: bugs, confusion, and excessive complexity. As you might have come to expect of us we don't just stick ...

Time for a new art assets update! You'll find Azula's baby maker scene, your uncle relaxing in jail and some ember island pics in this update.
As always this zip file contains a .txt with links to earlier updates so there's no need to plow through earlier patreon updates to get them all.

Now that we can finally really focus on book3, all the bad parts about starting up a new book which I had forgotten are coming back to me :0
I'm not very forgiving when it comes to my own drawings and when it's time to draw those idle pics of important characters I'm very hard to please. A couple did go really well right from the start, but others are a lot more demanding when it comes to pouring in time. Yep, Toph with her none light reflecting blind eyes is really showing me all ...
2017-10-12 11:14:56 +0000 UTC View PostIt took us a while, but we finally got our very own android version working! Originally we wanted to have one ready after finishing the first book, but a lot of errors which we didn't understand prevented that. We even rewrote part of the battle engine in both book 1 and 2 in the hopes of fixing those errors.
To make a long story short, It seems uninstalling a bunch of software and installing it again was the silver bullet. It took us quite some effort and swearing but we now have a ver...

Since our earlier endings to book 2's lover/zuko route left something to be desired when it comes to getting closure, we decided to fix that instead of getting an early start on book 3. Now I had already started working on drawings for book 3 so those had to be put on the backburner to make sure our new endings would have something new for you to look at.
I'm really looking forward to start working on nothing but book 3 content again (the coder has some really interesting idea...

Art assets update 15!
This time, among other things, I've included a book 2 scene which never found it's way into the game. At least not yet. The coder/writer would like to put it in anyway, but since we're busy improving the endings of book 2 to make those more satisfactory, anything else will have to take a backseat for now.

2017-09-19 21:07:41 +0000 UTC View PostHey gang,
We’ve been reading your responses (thanks!) and we’re realizing that Book 2’s missing some…. closure.
So, we’re going to spend the next couple weeks extending the endings to provide a better sense of completion (heh). That means we won’t be able to start planning/developing Book 3 until next month, but it’s worth it to try to wrap up Book 2 into a more satisfying experience.
Everyone is welcome to PM us with any specific suggestions; we read and value them a...

Changelog:
You'll need to start at the end of Ember Island to see some of the new content, as some has been added before the "riots" quest.
Hey guys!
This build (at the bottom of this message) officially closes out Book 2. It's been a lot of sweat and tears - mostly sweat from the artist, tears from me - but we've made it!
There's a lot I'd like to say, but I'll save that for another post. For now, I'll just say a simple heartfelt thanks for being right there with us as we complete another book in Four Elements Trainer.
Thank you.

You'll need to start at the end of Ember Island to see some of the new content, as some has been added before the "riots" quest.
Bughunt version is at the bottom. Please let us know if you find any issues, we're still working on it and playtesting as well!
Changelog:
Playtester build coming tomorrow! Took butts of coding, and not the "make a new little engine thing" coding (which is usually super fun to make - like the crab battles); but more of the "everything needs to sync up" kind, which is also satisfying, but takes a lot more nitpicky bugtesting and consumes a fair amount of time in a game the size of FET. But we got there. I think.
The artist (who is honestly exhausted, and I think still hasn't quite forgiven me for Ember Island) is te...

We're almost finished with the build that will close out Book 2's love route! July's challenges gave us almost two less weeks in August in which to work, but we've almost made up the difference already. It's a fair bit intimidating how quickly one or two issues can throw whole schedules out of wack, but we put ourselves into overdrive to compensate, and are pretty happy to be almost finalized with the love route (though we'd be a lot happier if unexpected things just stopped happenin...

The good news is... I have no bad news this time! That certainly wasn't the case last time I did one of these! The coder has dealt with the last remnants of his virus and aside from our schedule being wrecked we're trying hard to catch up and NOT turn this into a permanent setback.
Since we're working on getting book 2 finished all sorts of things pop up which need extra work. Some by choice and some by necessity. We're going...
