Art update 37(sorta)
🕑 Added 2018-06-23 12:17:20 +0000 UTC Actually.... this isn't so much of an art update, but more of a general: "hey guys, this is what we've been doing lately!"Most importantly the coder has been resting up. A couple too many long days to get the end of the slave route of book 3 ready(combined with other worries) really drained his batteries right down to a level I can't even imagine so he really needed the downtime.
It's better to keep him nice and relaxed for now so he can work his magic later. Honestly, I wouldn't have been surprised If he had asked for a full month off considering the rocky month he has had. When he says he doesn't like to tell you of his woes because it'll just come off as excuses, he means it.
I still felt it was a good idea to let you guys know what's going on concerning his mother because I know from experience cancer in the family cuts deep and will cause some repeat hiccups when it comes to our release dates(to say the least). We'll try our best to keep it minimal, but it's a reality you can't just ladidaah you're way out of. But enough about that, I don't want to depress all of you now that I finally uploaded another (sorta) art update!
Besides taking things easy we kept checking for bugs and the like. Again super many thanks to anyone out there filling us in about them. We try to thank you all directly, but if we missed anyone sorry!
I'm especially concerned with bugs since I've been working on getting the android build ready. It will contain the first two books and the book 3 slave route. For whatever reason the coder has had trouble getting it to work on his system. I had some more luck so it's up to me to make sure this gets done.
It was meant to have been released by now, but contrary to what I expected the coder wasn't just dealing with leftover bugs these last weeks but also putting in some more stuff he didn't had a chance to do earlier.
I would've preferred him just mellowing out some more and just deal with the bugs, but so be it. Once he's done I'll start on the andoid version. A test version of an old version (stilly buggy) worked out fine so here's hoping it'll stay that way when I get the latest version without bugs to work on. I know we've been taking forever on this guys so anyone who's actually been waiting for it, my apologies.
Okay let's talk book 3 love route! Our love routes have so far always been somewhat better than the slave ones(at least in our opinion). It's probably a combination of a subconscious preference and simply the fact we've already had more time with that specific book during the slave route which equals more time to mull over some ideas in the back of our mind. I'm not really certain but I really hope we can repeat that tradition with Toph's love route.
I love myself some mistreating of JooDee, but when it comes to the main girls, I'm all about the love route. We've been doing some brainstorming, talking options and the like and we're starting to get into proper gear once more for the beginning of the love route. I always need some time to acclimatize myself to a new route before I can really dig in.
Actually since we've included a lot of new things in book 3 compared to the older books(the maze being the biggest culprit) it's a bit finnicky to get the love route working without instantly getting lot'sa slave route contamination going on. That means we're building in a few checks while developing which'll hopefully alert us to when that happens.
When I talk about contamination I mean, the player going on about his business in the love route and ending up in the slaveroute without exactly knowing when that happened. It's the sort of bug which kept both of us up all night trying to find it during the development of book2 so we're being extra careful now.
To put you and ourselves into the proper mood I thought it would be fun to draw something reflecting the best of book 2's love route. This was an older sketch I had lying around which didn't need too much time/work to finish.
Originally we wanted to take two months for the next build, but seeing as how we already ate into those with the latest build, we'll just try to speed things up and bring you the next build at the end of next month.
Okay that's it for this update. I have a scaaaary amount of stuff to do and I'm not a fast drawer so I'll have to leave you guys again for now.
Oh btw. I fucked up my drawing tablet ;_; I'm pretty much joined at the hip with that piece of ancient hardware. It's like having old running shoes you just can't throw out (even though they look crappy as hell etc ) because they fit you like a glove. That hardware failure had the potential to be very problematic.. HOWEVER!!! Unlike some other things you can't prepare for I had actually bought a second hand one (exact same version and all) way back when we started FET precisely for a situation like this :) Soooo problematic situation avoided! Woohooo!!
Anyway, till next time!

Uploaded an art update just now which talks a little about it.
MITY
If you win enough times from Iroh during crab battles this will unlock. It's basiscally the scene which you can unlock in our 1st of April game.
MITY
Thanks!
MITY
Yes, aside from perhaps a few cameo's in between and depending on your choices you should see more of them eventually(I'd underline the eventual part if I could). To what extend or how exactaly will remain a secret for now.
Punisher
How are things coming along?
Benjamin
I would like to see pregnant slut slave too
same it was very good
Aquis Hyperion
Take your time MITY love the work you guys do keep it up!
Breon Flowers
in the slave route of the Earth Kingdom whats Ty Lees 3 sex option on top of ball sex and in the wall blowjob
Will we see more of the Book 2 characters in the future? I think Book 2 was by far my favorite of any game I've played.
Apex
Not if someone on the guidelines team decides to play the love route of book 2.. Based on a technicality they could get them. And the ones I was following that were shut down, only 1 is back up because of a technicality he had ingrained since the very first release, in that you could change the initial relationship of the couple, "family" was just one of the options
Omnikuken
The Patreon shutdowns usually target devs with incest/shota/loli/bestiality and other "hardcore" stuff. Posting lewds in plain sight on main page and not hidden behind the patron paywall also triggers them. 4ET is safe.
MITY
Hmmm, well if it comes to that we have some ideas, but there's a reason why our banner and name of the game "Four elements trainer" are pretty low key. Hopefully low enough to not get any unwanted attention.
MITY
Thanks for mentioning it. I'll check it out. I'm hoping it's one of those we've already fixed in our test version but can't hurt to do an extra check.
Apex
Hey Mity don't know if you read it last time, but Patreon is cracking down hard on sex based games and novels, I've just received emails that 3 of the pages I was following, including 1 pledged to, have been shut down because of it.
Tom
Not sure if it's been reported yet, using 0.6.13e when suggesting Suki use a "realistic ... Squirtle" the hypno eyes are too high up on the face exposing the bottom of the base eyes
Kasaix
I can see it. Her outfit in the show was a bit more revealing than others since it showed off her midriff. The beach episode with her in that bikini just turned that up to 11.
Kuzuha Chan
I'm very glad you share my mind about this :D *cough* Jinora *cough* Ikki *cough* book4 *cough* legal-age *cough* :D
Darkwolf
Well hopefully it’s something we’ll get to see in the final polished up version lol
MITY
Hehe, the flatter the better! (well...in some cases at least)
MITY
Thanks, we'll certainly keep trying our best : )
MITY
Thanks for your kind words,
MITY
Book 4, has so much girl potential it scares me!
MITY
We'll do our best to find some sort of happy middle ground. Honestly, I need some sort of time limit, because I can literally work on something forever if I allow myself. Still, my main concern is not overburdening the coder.
MITY
Lol, we have a big bag of plans and ideas, but we always aim to please.
MITY
Ty Lee is an absolute fan favorite. The fact a lot of people didn't have their fill of her in book 2 is the reason she made a preturn (since it's chronologically earlier) in book 3 : )
MITY
Crab fights is the one part of book3 which had to sacrifice the most when it comes to our initial plans. Jin as a ringside girl would've fit quite nicely.
MITY
Agreed on everything!
MITY
FET is a labor of love to use as much as anything else so we'd never want to just finish something for the sake of finishing. We might cut a few corner's here and there, because if we'd reaaally do it exactly like we wanted to you'd have to add three years to it's development time, but we'd never sacrifice the core of what we're aiming for. We have a great group of supporters and we want to be worthy of that support!
Breon Flowers
YAY!!!!! :D
MITY
Great to see you like FET as much as you do : ) Ty Lee is more of a long "slow burn". We've put her in book 3 exactly because she didn't get her chance to shine during book 2's love route. Sorry to make you wade through the slave route, but we're finally gearing up for some sweet toph love!
MITY
We've had a lot of questions about this. I think the coder is trying to reshape it somehowe to make it flow better, but what's probably going on is you didn't get a blowjob from Jin yet. It's something which unlocks after solving Iroh's missing panties quest which unlocks after fighting his crabs once, which unlocks after winning two crabble royale fights against shady in the arena. That's more than easy to miss, so some sort of reshaping/hint is needed there. Still, thanks for mentioning it!
That Faceless Dude
If you're still looking for bugs, I had one with the 0.6.13e which keeps me from completing Jin's path that you might be able to help me with. I do all the things I can with Jin, insulting, suggesting nudity and hypnotizing until I try to convince I'm Lee and fail. I get told that I have to speak to Ajala to get help, but when I go to her, I have no options related to Jin. Is this a bug or am I just missing something? I love the game by the way.
Breon Flowers
New $10 patreon here ABSOLUTELY LOVING Four Elements Trainer! Though i was both sad and upset I had to choose the slave route for Toph becsause she's one of my favorite characters, but I was happy i got to bone Ty Lee (my waifu) a nice bonus when I chose the slave route first during the fire nation. Was sad that I couldn't have her in my love route though and it looks like I'll be experiencing it again in the Earth Kingdom love route but I'll get over it. Anyways keep up the good work, rest when y'all need it I'll always be eagerly awaiting the next update!........sorry for the extremely long message XD
Sam Watson
Appreciate the update. The status of project and staff themselves. I just want this game to be the best it can be without having to rush things or be forgotten. I don't really care when its coming out I just want the game to be awesome when time and effort is put into this game at full strength physically and emotionally.
The Melon Man
The coder deserves his break! I can't wait for the love route! It's my favorite as well.
Darkwolf
I’m more surprised we couldn’t turn Jin into a ringside girl for the crab fights
Kasaix
Yay love route! And yay nude Ty Lee! Didn't get near enough of her in book 2.
Kuzuha Chan
Mity already teased some more Smellerbee in Love Route inofficially, als also more Snek...Snek is love :D
Nemos
Although in the end it turned out to be Sokka... if you know what I mean ;) But please, In a love route - give us Smellerbee! As a avatar's girl, please!
nikum
d00ds take as much time as you need to give us quality stuff, don't rush it, we can replay the game a few times as we wait ;)
Thanks for the awesome updates. Feel bad about the programmer and keep up the good work. Though what I am personally excited for is book 4 :p I hope it's gonna be Avatar Korra :)
morris ridgeway
Thanks for the update. And please tell your programmer, they have my sympathies and my best wishes.
KXA Prime
It’s always nice to see a progress report no matter what it is! Keep up the amazing work :)
Kuzuha Chan
