And so it begins… again.

PocketDate Boy: Personal Trainer Ethan, the game that started it all back in 2011, is now available to download for our Silver members and above as the first release from the OONYX archives!

Going back to this one has been a very strange experience for me personally. Back then, my main role was creating the 3D artwork and animations, and looking at that work again 15 years later is equal parts nostalgic, embarrassing and “Oh god, why did I do it like THAT?!” 😅

But that’s also why we wanted to preserve these games as they were. Ethan represents where this whole journey started, long before FullFrontal Beef, Studio FullFrontal or ONX Media existed.

So here he is again, 15 years later, original game, original jank and all.

PocketDate Boy: Personal Trainer Ethan is available to download now from the Plus+ members downloads page.

Take care everyone,

In the game it actually says PDB Edition 3. Is that on purpose?

I also encountered the bug I was sort of expecting. If in phase 2 you click on the shower and you continue, the next loading screen (showing Ethan in a shower) hangs the game. I know that in the past there used to be a file I found on the internet that could fix this. Can't find it at the moment though.

It also happens if you select the sauna instead. The loading screen shows, but no spinner.

I have no idea about any extra files, honestly. I know there were patches and stuff, but those I haven't found. You can use a cheatcode though to unlock all the scenes, so you can start them directly. On the game's start menu screen, press C + Enter. Then enter the code "lamewanker" to unlock all. 🤷‍♂️ ^Timo

Thanks, pressing CTRL+C and Enter did indeed work with the code

I just found my old copy, including the fixed file. It's pdbsec211.pdb. You can mail me if you'd like to have it.
