Ren'Py - Abandoned - Amity Park [v0.9.6] [GZone]

Despite being abandoned, I still think this game is worth your time, just be aware that the game is unfinished.

The sex scenes in this game are fantastic and some of the best produced in any game. There are branching cut scenes, which means you can't get all of them in a single run, but you can just cheat to get them all in the gallery later.

Disappointed the game isn't moving forward, but I was getting it for free anyhow, so eh.

Look let me just lay out my bias first.

I love danny phantom. the show was part of my bi awakening.

That being said lets break this down.

ART: The art is really good like all of the characters are similar to how they are in the show but amped up a bit. all of the girls look hot and the sex scenes ( particularly in the later half) are extremely well drawn. Even the battle scene is done well in an old school ff way.

Story: The story is well done. hits a lot of the same beats as canon but also is different that its fresh. I like the inclusion of orgzone as a means of making it pervy. the one new character feels like she fits really well and all of the other ones are in keeping to the original story. just you know porny. Each characters arch is really well written. I can definitely see branching arcs in the story so there is probably a fair amount of replay ability.

Gameplay: This is a VN with certain rpg elements. not a rpg story. the mechanics of the game don't concern me as much as the story. sometimes they feel a little bit samey but honestly I enjoy that as it gives you a little bit of a break form the story.

If I could give a decimal it would be a 4.75/5. but I will go a head and give it a 5 here. definetly if you enjoy danny phantom and are okay with the incest plot line, give this one a shot.

[Version reviewed: v0.9.6]

Amity Park was this close to be a great parody, on par with games like Four Elements Trainer. But it isn't.

Drawings are great, very close the original show with a sexualization twist (duh).

Story is nice, the idea of fueling ghost power with human """emotions""" is pretty cool as well.

Gameplay is... meh. It's a fully linear game in free roaming mode, meaning you'll move between places until you're in the right place at the right time and something finally happens. No replayable events/scenes makes lots of places useless after they've been used. Combat system is okay, but I wish you battled actual ghosts to level up, not just grind a simulation.

Porn is the biggest issue to me.

• The character with the most content is Maddie (Danny's mom) and I'm not into incest. She currently has 1 less scene than Sam, Paulina and Star combined. Jazz (Danny's sister) also has more scenes than any of the 3.
• There's a branching at prom, where you'll choose amongst 4 girls: you'll unlock scenes for her and completely lock you out of the 3 others. It's weird because they all like either you or your alter ego. The dress-up system (and some interactions with other characters I think) is also exclusive to one of those routes. I'm okay with branching, but this one feels like a lazy attempt at replayability, like a GF route exept they don't become your GF.

I wish I could give this game a 4* because drawings and writing are really nice... But the "linear open-world" makes most places empty and useless, combined with the abundance of incest and somewhat lack of content for other characters (especially Sam, poor girl has 3 scenes despite being one of the characters you interact with the most) drops the score to 2*

TLDR: Good potential but lots of useless empty places, too much focus on incest (not my jam) and artificial branching that forces replay.

Mostly good artwork and seems pretty faithful to the source material. That said it does run into a severe linearity issue with a lot of characters and plotpoints introduced early on falling completely by the wayside. The strictly enforced episodic nature unfortunately only allows progress on one or two quests at time. Which could mean a lot of waiting before you can get to a character you're eyeing.

The game also virtually does not do repeatable interactions or random events. Moreover, almost every character is nowhere to be found on the map. Altogether, this makes the game feel very lifeless and void of interactivity. Most maps are hardly if ever used.

Whereas it's nice to have choices, currently the few meaningful choices in this game makes you feel like you lose out on a little too much and detracts from the harem nature of the game as the characters are unlikely to have many alternate scenes/routes.

There is potential for this to become a top tier parody game but a lot of work on these three issues needs to be put in before that potential is realized.

Five of five stars for the entirety of the game, but two of five stars for the current update as there is a major bug when you load the game to the main menu. It states that it has run into an error and if you skip it the game starts a new save file instead of letting you choose.

The game has or had the possibility to give us a less linear adventure that could have taken advantage of the ghost mechanics if it were an actual free roaming experience. But the developers have opted for an episodic linear adventure instead. There's all these rooms and places you can enter or visit from the very beginning, but nothing ever happens in them, besides the ocasional scripted quest scene with very little lewd content, but mostly in school and mostly just dialogue (they talk way too much in this game!). Seems like a bunch of wasted space and wasted possibilities. Why can't I just get invisible at will and peek on girls freely? This game could have a whole lot more endless random events. You should be able to ocasionally peek on your mom/sister taking a shower from the very beggining and escalate the lewd stuff you can do with or to them gradually. Get in their rooms at nigh and see what they are up to. Find them in the living room and kitchen sometimes. They visiting your room randomly. Spy on the girls bathroom and lockers room in school at will, etc. This game just isn't ambitious enough for its own good and that's a shame. I see a lot of wasted potential.

The Treasure. Cartoon style detaled by true master artists, tailored with one of best writings, teammed with a great sound desine. Could make you feed sad and good, but surely busy for a many hours. Bravo!

Let me say this absolutely clear - I LOVE Amity Park! I only just found out about the game last year ... in fact, it will be exactly one year in couple of weeks, it happened right after the Episode 8 Red Spectra got released. I loved the game not because of its drawing or kink or whatever, but because it made me laugh out loud. I needed a good laugh in my life, and AP hit the spot.

At the time I was unfamiliar with Danny Phantom cartoon, since it is way too modern for me (I grew up in the late 80s and early 90s) so it took me some time to realize that it was actually based off the cartoon but none of this took away the fun. I loved the Portal, Minecraft & other references in AP, I even assumed that Ember McLain was a strong reference to Ellen McLain, voice actress for GlaDOS in Portal franchise ... and many other games for that matter.

One of the strongest advantages, assets ... or whatever you want to call them of Amity Park over the other, similar games (adult ones or otherwise) is that it was never meant to be taken seriously. Thing is, most of the other games - especially adult ones always tend to look & sound serious ... and fail miserably! You probably know what I'm talking about, as you can see it just about anywhere you look. Some of those games try to dramatize every single situation in order to make it look more serious, but in the end it just looks plain weird because it is still ONLY & JUST the video game and nothing else.

And this is where Amity Park steps in - I was never under the impression that the game expected me (as the player) to take it seriously, and the entire flow feels kinda silly, goofy but in a good way. Same thing with Maddie ... personally I'm not into incest or similar kinks but playing Amity Park I never felt as if the main character was "me", that Maddie was "Mom" and/or that I'm some beefed up 18-yr old guy living some sort of twisted or pervy fantasy (again, the usual MC stereotype) but rather that I'm watching a silly cartoon for adults, a parody with the good sense of humor. And that is what keeps AP afloat in my opinion, and makes people want to become patreons to support it, in order to keep it going.

I know for the fact that it makes me want to become the patreon, and (assuming the game keeps on moving in right direction) I may just bite the bullet & become one eventually. Therefore, I sincerely hope that the game is here to stay and develop further into either direction ... episodic or otherwise, we shall see what the future holds. That being said, I do have certain doubts, questions & worries after playing through the latest 0.9.6 update but I'm going to save these for some other occasion. The update could have been better, yes but so far (at least) nothing had been dramatically changed or ruined to the point where I would want to back out. IMO, still the best game of its kind.

PS, I want to make it absolutely clear that I'm not rating the current update, drawing style or the characters, but rather the /entire/ game for what it is and for its overall value. And that is 5 out of 5

6 years in development and it shows. The art has gone up in quality, the story reimans somewhat the same. If you care about summertime saga but with a Danny Phantom skin, this is the game, well the only game.

At first, it was a simple game with good animation, a simple fight mode, and, of course, a lot of bugs.
Now the animation has been significantly improved. The combat system has been completely redesigned. The game scenario has become more logical. Kudos to the developers for taking the right direction for the game's development. I hope they will have the strength to complete it.
Thank you for your attention!

There should be more content but it´s fine.

The characters all look very good except jazz her face is a little weird but everyone else is good.
I like the sex animation not amazing but decent.
The dialogue is okay too.
The fights are not good one of the biggest problems.
The gameplay otherwise is a simple sandbox.

If you are a fan of Danny phantom you should check this out.

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.
