Witch Trainer Silver – Update 1.45.1
Ladies, gentlemen, and all those in-between, the moment you've all been eagerly awaiting has arrived. We are delighted to announce that the works have finally been completed, and update 1.45.1 is currently being released!
This update has taken us a solid 6 months to finish and has paved the way for future updates, enabling us to work more efficiently and swiftly. The full changelog will be posted in the coming days as the list of changes is quite substantial, so please allow us a day or two to go through it.
A few noteworthy changes include:
Cho's storyline now extends beyond the quidditch phase and incorporates several CG scenes, some of which we've previously teased on Patreon over the past few months.
A complete overhaul of the modding tools and APIs, making modding simpler and more accessible to a wider range of people, even those with limited programming knowledge.
The game's performance issues have been resolved, so it should no longer experience any hanging or stuttering.
The game's Engine has been updated to Ren'py version 8.1 and Python 3, which has also undergone a significant revamp, enhancing performance and compatibility. Additionally, it boasts improved built-in methods and introduces new functionality.
The events system has been completely rewritten with modding support.
Hermione's content has received a bunch of enhanced dialogue and improvements.
In general, the game should now be significantly more stable, perform better, and experience fewer glitches. Additionally, the new story additions should add more spiciness to the game everyone has been hoping for.
We sincerely hope that you enjoy this update. While we eagerly await your feedback and any bug reports you may have, we are immediately beginning working on the next update.
Wishing you a happy 4th of July!
P.S. The Android release is getting delayed to a future date because it's still not fully prepared and tested.

Are you planing some content for Suane?
Sure, Susan will get her own story later on, but the upcoming feature update (1.46) will mainly revolve around Luna. We'll be making some announcements once we push the bug fixes, and android build out. Stay tuned!
When do you think the android version will release?
The Android version will be released when it's ready. We're posting daily updates in the discord channels regarding the progress if you're curious.
Hooray! An excellent present for my birthday. Thanks for all the hard work. Tbh, when y'all started describing the full depth of the changes you were making, I had planned on doing a full replay anyways. So I'm not really upset about the wipe. I also understand it was kinda necessary for such a big version change. But on that note, I do have a question/feature request. I have no idea how the saves are handled under the hood, so this could either be incredibly simple or nigh-impossible to implement. But...would it be possible for us to be able to rename our saves? I'd like to be able to keep certain saves at certain points in the story, and not use the save slots as my only guide for where in the story each save is at.
Hey, happy birthday! We can't guarantee any new features, but we've had a few people suggest this idea, so we might consider it if it's doable in due time.
Android. Are we thinking a few days, weeks, or sometime after Christmas? :-)
I still cant play on android
Am I missing something? Where is the DL Link?
Nice. Cho getting the love. You know who else needs some LOVE for also being a GOOD ravenclaw?
So if I'm in the middle of this game right now, then none of the future content in the game will be new? I will have to start a new game all over again? Also, will I be fine with the in-game update, or should I download the whole game file and start from there? My original file was v. 1.43.3, and I was using the in-game updater. Thanks!
Due to the extensive changes, both on our end, and the game's engine, old saves won't function, and the new update must be installed manually. The in-game updater should work for any future updates after that, though, it's currently being tested. We understand that losing progress sucks, so we've implemented an extensive cheat menu in the game that should let you get back on track more quickly.
Where do I report bugs; on here or somewhere I don't see on your website?
Please join our discord server, we have a bug-reports forums set up. https://discord.gg/UbQeTCJ5RW
Is there a download link then for this update?
Please visit our website (silverstudiogames.org) to access the most up-to-date links.
Amazing! How do we keep old saves?
Due to technical reasons, save files from previous game versions, including pre-release versions, cannot be used with this update. We understand that losing game progress can be frustrating. However, we provide in-game cheats that can help you quickly get back on track.
