Ren'Py Amity Park [v1.0.2] [GZone]

[Clobbertime]

Might as well throw in my two cents. I like when when an effort is made in a parody game to make the characters look as much like the source material as possible for the artist to get them. Some do a great job and others not so much. I'm not so hardcore about it that I won't play a game if they don't look exactly like the source characters. In many parodies they look pretty different but it's still possible to tell who the character is. The new art I'm seeing here is like that, you can still tell who they're supposed to be, but the fact that at one time they looked far more like the original characters and a decision was made to move away from that to give them an anime look instead saddens me somewhat. It's like firing the main cast and just using their stunt doubles/understudies to make the show.

After giving this VN a try I got into it glad the devs made it so stuff could be avoidable that didn't want to be seen like with maddie etc. besides a few things wasn't but yea just my thought but hope with the girls things can be more 1 on 1 with danny like no tentacles or other guys unless maybe it's something without a prompt that can be stopped for example ghost tries to do something to sam and danny insta jumps in to save her or some other intervention happens so it avoids the player seeing the L.I. in a situation they don't want and probably can take some of the work off to not add the coding for prompts/words saying (jump in and stop it or watch it happen) but other then that looking forward the next update looked like it will be a juicy one .

So just the new characters and new sex scenes will be in a different style while game play sprits will remain as they were, for now anyway?

But later on they will also be replaced, a little bit each new update?

Nah, I don't think so? I think GZone's said "It would have been nice if we had had Psymind from the beginning, but that's just too much work to replace." I think a full portrait replacement would be if there was like a sequel. But I don't know for sure for sure, you know. And again, it's sorta just a lot more details and a sliiiiight reshape in Psymind's style preference. But GZone still does the faces himself on top of Psymind's design. It's both similar and a little different to Darkcookie updating his sprites/backgrounds.

I should also mention that this scene now has three unique shots/angles, and not just a static image that just has its clothes layer removed. I think the scene looks more alive when you see how Epadder coded it and Psymimd drew it.

I just can't believe there is this much deliberation, debate and division over the damn art style. Holy shit.

Love you guys, thanks for keeping it up the hard work!

"You've captured their stunt doubles!"

so this new update will have new scenes or it will be just a remake of the game or maybe lil bit both

From the looks of it, lil bit of both.

That's basically me when I watch any h scene with Maddie.

Hello, my game is bugged and I wonder if there is any way to fix it without losing my progress. Basically, the chapter 6 started on a saturday, I can't go forward in time unless I work at the Nasty Burger, and when it's night fall. Danny doesn't sleep right away since he's supposed to go on the trip on Saturday, but going downstairs doesn't do anything (and when I manage to sleep, I still can't advance time. Going to school also doesn't do anything)

You had no dialogue with your family when you went in the kitchen?
If you did, just go into your room and skip time once, that should trigger another dialogue with Maddie.


Otherwise, if you have enabled the console commands, try typing this:

call update_time

It should move time forward by one segment.

Thank you for the reply; it does skip time, but unfortunately, it doesn't change anything. And if I try to skip to next day with that command, then the game crashes. Is there a command to change the day maybe? To monday or something

I tinkered a little more with the code, try this:

time_int = X; day_int = Y; current_time = [time_int, times[0][time_int], day_int, times[1][day_int]]

You must set X as the time of the day with a range from 0 (morning) to 2 (night) and Y as the day of the week with a range between 0 (monday) to 6 (sunday)

so for example if you try

time_int = 1; day_int = 0; current_time = [time_int, times[0][time_int], day_int, times[1][day_int]]

you should skip to monday afternoon.
I'll try to see if there's a simpler command, but for the time being let me know if this works.

THANK YOU! It worked! It launched the quest this time!

In my opinion - with the new anime style you not only kick the ass of the original artists
of the Danny Phantom series, but also the ass of the fans of the series, who have found
a game in your parody that corresponds to their idea of the series.

Amity Park wouldn't even have gotten almost of the attention (and the rating of 4.5 / 5 stars),
if you'd developed it with anime style from the start!
If your insist on the new style I think many will jump off here.

If you really want to parody anime style, then use some anime crap series,
as can be found hundreds of times on the net, but plz stay away from a series
that for once has NO ANIME style.

To give Amity Park characters entirely new faces is completely incomprehensible
to me and I really wonder if you really have any idea what you're doing there.
... it's the other way around, like replacing Skyrim's Dovahkiin with Donald Duck.

Please (with cream and cherry on top) take this anime character out of Amity Park
and throw it in the garbage can where it belongs ... or send it to Japan, they can recycle it.

Suggestion for goodness ...
create a chapter where all characters will be dragged into another dimension
in which all characters look like anime characters.
- The Simpsons also had an episode in which everyone was in 3D,
- Fringe an episode in which everyone was suddenly a drawn character
BUT at the end - back in their dimension let them look again
... like the good old Danny Phantom characters.


I should perhaps add that the new Pauline is not badly drawn
... not perfect, but good so far. BUT it doesn't fit into this game.


Here is an example of a well-drawn change, which, however, in no way corresponds
to the original style, even if you recognize the character.


... and a good style transfer into 3D


I really hope you will change your mind.

They're pretty far on the development with the new art already. Might as well do a /shrug and wait for the next update.

I really hope you will change your mind.

I see your point, but I don't think that many people would stop playing the game. Yes the show's art style may play a role in the success of the game, but I'm pretty sure most people are here for the characters (as long as they recognize them of course, which is the case here)

So I hadn't check this games page since earlier this year when I was told that because of the overhaul there probably wasn't going to be an update till around August. I came back today to see if there were any updates and was surprised to see people talking about new look/art style.

I go back and few pages and..... yea I'm a huge Danny Phantom fan, so one of the biggest reasons I enjoyed this game was how the look was pretty much spot on compared to the show. To me this helps a lot for parody games such as this one, something unlimited, and four elements trainer just to name a few.

But after seeing the new Paulina art I'm much more skeptical now. I can understand change but the excitement has died a bit. If this is what the team slowly turns to in future updates for the game I think I might just drop it.

Keep in mind I'm not saying that the art is bad or anything, I just personally like it better when parody games art looks more like original. I also know that going away from original can also be bad and sour peoples opinion on a game as I saw this happen recently with another parody game.

It's a parody of Kingdom hearts called Conquered Hearts. If I remember right they got a new person for art and changed how Alice looked (in beginning she looked more like she belonged where as new look had people saying she looked generic or like a anime slut, etc) and a lot of people didn't like it but game devs said it was too late and they would rather continue on to new levels rather than spend time fixing a world that was almost done.

That's just my two cents. Again I'm going to wait for update to really pass judgment but not as excited now.

 

[Satyrsfaction]

As far as I know, the previews of the new art has only been shown to supporters, and no one has leaked any of it here.

Edit: deleted (...) and or revised.

and that's exactly the biggest mistake developers can make
... at least if they are interested in the opinion of the players.
=> First ask the players what they think about it
- before you modify the style - by using sketches or comparisons,
instead of changing everything secretly in the background. (...)

I was wondering why you want this change and I came up with the idea ...
there are probably only a few Danny Phantom fans in comparison
to the mass of anime-manga-hentai fans
... so maybe you don't care to annoy a few old fans and instead
you prefer to open the door to the anime fans.
What's the goal ... more popularity, more money?

If this game were to be completely transformed into anime style,
it would definitely no longer be a dedication to Danny Phantom
and its style that made it famous. (...)

I hope you don't go further and change every little last old style,
otherwise you definitely can't expect a standing ovation for the result.


Edit -> (...) :
I deleted / rewrote a few phrases that (after reading it again) sounded maybe too reproachful.
The background to my comments and the criticism here is that shortly beforehand
I had to observe graphical changes in another game, which were horrific
(the new face was totally crooked and nose and mouth too high ...).
Any discussion with the developers fell on deaf ears.

I'm sticking to the fact that this game shouldn't switch to anime style
and for now I just hope for the best.


(Attention sarcasm) Oh how about this style?
You should like it when you can transform Danny into this ...
