Ren'Py - Amity Park [v1.1.1] [GZone]

I think the game looks really great regarding the art, but boy, is there tons of text to read! Right now the ratio is too hard for my taste, it feels like 90% reading and 10% lewd scenes.

In chapter 5 where I am right now mom said from now on I could come down to the lab at day and get a hug, but it simply isn't possible, which I found disappointing. Also she's practicing yoga every sunday since chapter 2 or so, MC said he would maybe join her another time, but I never got the option to do so. These are little disappointings here and there that could be avoided if the pacing was at least a bit faster.

I like the slow burn though, but it's too slow in this game. Sometimes it's unclear what to do if a quest comes up, often you'll need to finish other things first. I had "What are Tucker & Sam up to?" in my quest log, but I couldn't find them. I figured out after a long ass search that I needed to complete another quest before they appeared.

And that's my second last point of criticism: There's an open world, but you don't really get the choose what girl you want to progress with first. Which can be cool because it forces you to play through the game, instead of finishing your 2-3 fav characters and quit it, but I feel there could be at least some freedom inbetween. However, most of these issues could simply be resolved by shifting the ratio between lewd scenes and reading.

Even an occasional school day where you meet others in the corridor escalates quickly into a roman with a lot of boring and pointless information.

Lastly, it's a bit disappointing that scenes are animated but if you decide to cum, the scenes turn into still pictures. Why not let the character cum as long as the player wants and let the player decide when to end the animation? Or at least, after the cum, leave some final loop animation that the player can decide to end.

Overall I see a lot of potential in this game if it will be polished in these points.

Excellent if slightly melodramatic writing, reasonably engaging gameplay. Art is inconsistent but overall high quality. Development is slow as heck, but the game has charm and sex appeal in spades. It's a top-tier AVN by any standard.

The game is very good, but too many dialogs for my taste, I skipped most of them.
The art is however has a high quality and looks pretty much like original with better textures and even more sexier and better looking characters than from original cartoon.
I have only one big complain, animation sounds aren't consistent. Some animations have moans and other sex sounds, but many has only the background music.

The start is pretty much above average, both in story and in art but the format is pretty well done from the start.

The game really pick up after the Maddie episode where the art and the story really improve to a surprising degree. It is one of the best game I've played in a while.

How about making sure you game is playable and bug free, small hiccups are common but having entire episodes unplayable is just downright lazy

The least dev could do is put out a quick fix or a solution before any patches instead of leaving the forum to figure it out or manually renaming the files.
Man this is isn't even one of those big games, seriously

Artwork is top-tier, though a bit inconsistent particularly in regards to episode 6 where the images were awkwardly animated, unnaturally gangling and floppy with no definitions to it.

Episodes 7 and 8 had much higher quality artworks and exciting animations in comparison with much more realistic reactions as well as expressions than even the first few episodes.

The map interface is simple to use and there is help in the form of a quest log that ensures the player is never floundering or just randomly clicking buttons to get to the next scene.

The story borrows heavily from the series but it has it's own twist on it to explore more adult and sensual features. It also humanizes the antagonistic love interests and gives them interesting backgrounds that the show never bothered to do.

As a parody the characters act out of character but not to the extent that would be expected and due since the love interests each have their own character arc it never feels awkward but an expected exploration of their characters.

The combat is simple, although more decorative as a game mechanic than otherwise as the outcome of the battles rarely affect the story which detracts from it a bit.

This is otherwise an incredibly polished adult media though and one of the best adult games I've ever had the pleasure of playing.

On one hand:
Quality of sex scenes are improved.
Grind is very limited, and the minigame part with battles stopped being as annoing as it once was.

On the other:
Project is 5 years in development and 80% of it was done in the first two, and now clearly suffers from writer's neglect.
For example, the scope of the game was reduced from chapters where "I can make choices" to "im token good guy", despite the fact that litterally 50% of all sex scenes are only unlockable if you either cucked your own dad by fucking your mother, or betrayed your best female friend/GF for some pussy.

Either rework the plot line by killing Jack so that the "hero" doesnt wreck the marrige of his parents, or stop trying to reduce the originall appeal of hero slowly gathering himsel a not so willing harem and using methods like drug flower to get in his own mother's pants.

Excellent game, highly recommend it. I barely ever comment. So if I pushed myself to do it, it means it's really great.
The game looks amazing and has tons of animations. I just can't wait to see the next updates.

with the new characters, they now look less like the originals than before.
But above all, a continuation of the game that seems to no longer take place.
Apparently they seem to be concentrating on the development of a different game than this one.

I give this star for the little content that the game has and the tediousness of its battle system but taking that out what really bothers is that this thing has 4 damn years of development and it does not go anywhere poor people who give it money for a project that has no hope but well maybe in 20 years they will do it Not to mention his change in art that absolutely no one asked for.

Easily one of the sexiest games I've ever played, naturally being a huge Danny Phantom fan and having a huge on Maddie Fenton since it first aired probably helps! XD

The way the Maddie romance begins is actually incredibly plausible (For a H game anyway!) so high kudos for that too!

the clicking and reading vs scene ratio is the worst of any game ive played. how has this been going for so long, and there are so few scenes. incredibly boring. scenes dont look good enough. scenes dont have enough change/variation. the amount of text is obnoxious - this isnt an adult game - its a novel that has a couple of scenes, not all of which even make sense, which is odd given the amount of clicking and reading. if the scenes were more complex, more earned, and actually looked good, then id understand the popularity; as is, its..... an excuse to generate monthly support. i put way more time into it than i should have, and finally unlocked the gallery somewhere after stage 7. totally regret playing this. always go for the gallery first to see if its worth it.

The game was one of the best parodies on this site but for some reason the dev decided to spit on his fanbase and change the art to anime esque.
The parody is WESTERN based, not EASTERN based so its completely asinine to change a parody to anime drawing (a mix of western and eastern)

Its ridiculous that he did that after years of development and just like that, change the art.

It was a maximum turn off and if it keeps like that you will lose almost every single fan you had.

Cons:

Let's start with the fact that the Westernized style of this art has been completely nuked. The main draw of this game was it's art, it was as close to the original Danny Phantom show as it gets. But now the project has been replaced with mediocre Weeb anime/hentai art.

As if I needed to see another another one of those, the characters just look like anime characters cosplaying the Danny Phantom Show. No more distinct features, it's a Weeb-Com now.

Gameplay:

It's really what you'd expect from a sandbox, a bit of a grind, but not too extreme, there are cheat codes, but it kinda defeats the purpose of the game if you have to use those. So use at your own risk. There are some of bugs and issues with triggering scenes, but once again that's that sandbox life so...

Story:

It's what you make it.



But moving on from yet another, well established project because of bad decision making by these Devs. TT is one and this is another one. You just don't wait 4 years to make such a drastic change and think people will just go along with it, now some will, but I'm not.

Really good game I must say.... I really enjoy it.

I just hope this game will have more updates because the game deserve more updates without question . Lets see how far this game will go definitely for me 8,5 out of 10 for now.

Editing the review score to point out that the new art is terrible. Knocked it down to average.

This game has the potential to be great but there's some minor things that bug me.

1: The RPG mechanics are basically just there for the game to feel more like a game. Unless I cheated I legit couldn't do some of the later fights. You probably need to put in grinding spots or make this easier, one or the other. Either way the cheats negate this issue completely, but at that point why have the battles?

2: The writing is all at once fantastic, riddled with typos, and terrible chapter to chapter. I'd like for my choices to matter for more than "who you had sex with this chapter". Seriously, how was I fake going out with Sam in one chapter, then in the woods, followed by the next chapter in the city, where that meant nothing? Why am I playing a game then? Might as well just cheat in the scene gallery if all the dialogue in between means jackshit.


Basically fix the battles and the continuity between chapters and this is pretty much perfect...you know...despite being unfinished.

This game has so much respect for the orginal show! It feels like actually watching the show!

My only complaint is about the sex scenes that could be better (i would rate 3/5) but it doesn't take away anything from this brilliant game.

Love how well drawn it is, really looks like Butch's lines

Alright let's get one thing straight, it's a damn good game and the story line is prettt well writtrn considering all the ghosts and secrets being unlocked per every episode. And if i have to be straight the adult scenes are also good, not great of course.. Could need some more dialogue during the adult scenes a little more time to fap is all I'm asking. Those scenes are done pretty soon considering they only come across once or twice per episode. A lot fodder to run through to get one measly x rated scene. Please remember this a porn game and it kinda defeats the purpose without much porn in it. It's not an educational game to educate us on the topics of parapsychology and ghosts. And what's with the minigames, the EXP given is totally random every time and a few are literally so tough it's barely possible to win
Try to ease up on the minigames too. Way too much of time spent on reading dialogues and playing the minigame, there's not enough time to fap at all. Overall here's how i would rate the aspects of the game...
Dialogues 3/5
Artwork 4/5
Animation 3/5
Plot 5/5 (Only cuz it's getting interesting as we go forward, can't wait to see what kindof new powers our MC gets.)
Grind 2/5
Fap 1/5 (This is very poor cuz the scenes are way too small and it's over before you know it.)
Characters 4/5 (Considering it's a parody and also they are pretty well built for the purpose.)
Minigames 3/5

Overall I'd say 3/5 is a reasonable rating for this game. For the development it's had till date. Hope in the future it gets more interesting and bit less to the boring side(all the fodder dialogues and small sex scenes reasoned).

Please fix the impossible combat. I got stuck on the dragon without saving, its impossible to beat and because I died so many times all my autosaves on the dragon ending the game for me. Add an option to flee combat instead of just saying "you can't flee" which is a real kick in the face.

VERSION: 0.7.3

Amity Park aspires to satirize the early 2000's Nickelodeon show Danny Phantom, achieving this goal courtesy of fantastic art that closely mimics its source material with a playful rendition of its cast. Among the most notable aspects of Amity Park is its faithful recreation of the aesthetic, that "Western anime" style used so liberally throughout the era in shows such as Invader Zim, Teen Titans and The Fairly Odd Parents; here, the artist has adapted it with only minor alterations to enhance the erotica.

Split across several episodes, the first of which deal primarily with establishing the setting and character interactions, the genuinely adult-oriented content is few and far between. Some mature humour exists in dialogue, allusions to masturbation and such, but Amity Park establishes itself first and foremost as a game rather than a mere outlet for smut.

Indeed, unlike the majority of its competitors, even in this niche, Amity Park retains some genuine "gamey" mechanics, including a turn-based combat system. Although a tad rudimentary when compared against mainstream RPGs, combat serves as an enjoyable distraction from the visual novel aspects of progression and allows the player to customize Danny with a simple attribute-allocation system. Sadly, the player appears to be limited to pre-scripted encounters alone and, thus, cannot engage in any voluntary grind, although each encounter is fairly pivotal to the narrative progression.

Roughly an hour into play Amity Park begins unveiling its more erotic content, as the protagonist peeps on their sister, engages the school nurse in some amorous play and experiments with their childhood friend, Sam. These sequences overwhelming include animated content, nicely looped to allow for unlimited playback. Here, the restricted palette does somewhat impair the art, as fine details are lost to the cell-shading. Furthermore, early-game animations are prone to odd anatomical choices, given that the artist lacked reference material for these characters in such poses; Nurse Kate, for instance, has shockingly well-developed shoulders in her first nude scene, despite the otherwise slim profile on display.

Dialogue is also prone to a few oddities: the author was inordinately fond of employing typographical emphasis, with several sentences featuring bold, italic and underlined words simultaneously. Fortunately, this zeal was amended in latter episodes and its frequency is dramatically reduced, however, the early appearances can contribute a somewhat amateur feel to the entire affair. It is worth noting, nonetheless, that the dialogue as a whole is wonderfully scripted. The cast converse naturally and with personalities that accurately reflect their televised personas, while genuine errors are few and far between. Indeed, having poured through the script only one line immediately springs to mind: Danny remarks he'll have a "peek" in the bathroom and, within the same sentence, notes that it wouldn't be "bad if I just peaked."

Having concluded the majority of the content currently available, Amity Park seems more like an adults-only homage to the franchise rather than a genuine satire. If you can excuse a few fourth-wall breaking moments, including outright remarks by the developer regarding the reduced complexity of quests in the final episodes (which, at best, are jarringly unnecessary), I firmly believe you'll find something to enjoy whether you're a diehard fan or, like myself, relatively new to the world of Danny Phantom.

GRAPHICS ------------------------------------------------ 7 / 10
+ Stylized, in keeping with the cartoon, albeit with some clear artistic license to enhance the erotica.
+ Animations are fairly smooth and relatively diverse in nature.
- Some anatomical issues, such as overly muscled shoulders and unnaturally shifting proportions between clothed/naked bodies.
+/- Art style is somewhat divisive, with clear fans and detractors alike; personally, I don't find it offputting, but neither would I opt for this in lieu of more detailed alternatives.
DIALOGUE ------------------------------------------------ 7 / 10
+ Strong characterization and adherence to the personalities established in its source material.
+ Few, and minor, typographical errors of any sort; good editorial oversight process.
- Overreliance on typographical emphasis, such as italics and underlining, throughout the initial episodes.
GAMEPLAY ------------------------------------------------ 6 / 10
+ Turn-based battle system offers a genuine "gamey" reprieve from the visual novel elements.
+ Attribute levelling and experience system provide a degree of freedom in determining future combat encounters.
- No ability to level or otherwise "XP grind" outside of pre-ordained encounters.
- Several fights are intended to be lost and will dramatically decrease your health even if you avoid being struck.
INNOVATION ---------------------------------------------- 8 / 10
+ Addition of RPG-lite mechanics is a novel touch that simultaneously provides an in-universe explanation for some of the adult content and contributes variation to the gameplay.

SCORE ======================================= 28 / 40
RECOMMENDED FOR FANS, ENJOYABLE FOR NEWCOMERS
Amity Park is clearly aimed at established fans of the franchise, to whom the nostalgic element undoubtedly contributes a little more taboo titillation, yet even new players will discover an enjoyable, somewhat silly experience with decent erotic content.


CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIQUE: Alter the shoulders on Nurse Kate during the animated sequences, they are far too heavily muscled and squared-off for a woman of her stature, appearing unnatural given the slim profile of her normal conversant image. Expand the UI in the scene selector, on Danny's computer, such that the player is no longer required to click multiple times to browse; a single row of three icons could easily have been changed to a three-by-three grid or greater. Consider allowing players to engage in (limited, perhaps) battles outside of those dictated by the storyline; say, by roaming the city after dark.
