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

Hello everyone,

We owe you all a heartfelt apology for our long silence. The past months have been unusually quiet, and we deeply regret any concerns this may have caused. Your continuous support and patience during this period mean the world to us, and we can’t thank you enough for sticking with us.

To be transparent, the reasons behind our slowdown in communication and development pace are manifold. Ambitiously, we planned more than we could handle with our dual projects, "Breeding Farm" and "Amity Park". Juggling both has proven more challenging than anticipated.

Additionally, I, GZone, have faced personal struggles with burnout and depression. The loss of a close friend last year deeply affected me, leading me to reevaluate many of my life decisions. This loss, combined with my responsibilities, diverted my focus from our projects to other interests, including the exploration of AI technologies. Last year, we developed "CeceAi," an AI chatbot. In hindsight, this may not have been what you all expected or needed from us. We ventured into various AI-related enhancements like AI voices and custom Python tools aimed at improving our games. Unfortunately, these efforts consumed much time without the intended payoff, further detracting from our core projects.

I must confess that these diversions and my personal challenges have led to a loss of motivation and an unintentional focus on side projects. For this, we are truly sorry.

Moving forward, we’re recommitting to our projects, specifically "Amity Park." We're focusing all our efforts on preparing an exciting update, which we aim to release by the end of next month.

Once again, we apologize for the long period of silence. Thank you for your understanding and the immense support you've shown us. We're excited to bring you new updates soon.

Sincerely,
Team Bieno

Nah.

I think it's all excuses, and exaggerating the drama.
I don't deny that dev has faced problems, who doesn't, but I think the main reason is: 1)the fact that he had a steady big income on patreon, 2)and of course laziness( familiar situation cough.. Milfy cough.. City)

If the patreon page hadn't taken down, he wouldn't have gotten in touch. And oh, what a coincidence, right at the end of the month.

All these tearful excuses are just a pretense so that the community and colleagues don't get too angry at him. So they'll say, 'Oh, poor thing, of course we forgive you, because you had problems, you're great, we'll support you...'

I mean, he didn't even answer to his team, when they tried to reach out to him.
He just took all the money for himself and in his thought flipped everyone, his team and community.

Open letter to Gzone.

I had great hopes for AP, but you fucked up. You are the inverse of an outstanding, extraordinary person. I wish your former team the best with their upcoming game.

You have a membership on this forum which you could have used at anytime following your last login (Oct 3, 2023) to apologize to the people you stole from but chose not to. Just to prove how much of a scumbag you are, you made a post on patreon regarding an update to Breeding Farm. As if you needed to show how much more of a scumbag you could be: the apology immediately followed an attempt to drum up interest and more subs for Breeding Farm. The two posts were literally made within minutes of each other. You should seek employment as a car salesman or a preacher.

I and many posters here are not falling for your bullshit half-ass apology.
You bailed on many loyal patrons and even more potential customers whose subs (in excess of thousands of dollars) afforded you opportunities, a cash cow and more. Only for you to continually screw them over by doing the following:

A. Chose to give less attention to AP in terms of updates while continuing to charge for subs. Ironically, the game which you made more money from you chose to ignore for a less popular game.
B. Pushing updates to AP (when they did come) but not letting customers "know" that a decision was to remove content. IIRC this was found and reported by posters in this thread, not you.
C. Due to your wonderful business acumen, inability to manage more than 1 project, shitty communication skills, etc; the artist left. You made a public post asking for a replacement artist "with no pay" while you continued to take in and push for more subs.
D. Switched to a once per year update schedule, while still pushing and charging for monthly subs.

Someone tried to give a reasoning for your being gone for months on end due to constant outages in europe.
A. Their wasn't continuous outages.
B. Before your "hiatus" their was a team of more than 1 person working on AP and the other game. Either you are a moron and couldn't fathom typing something along the lines of: "Hey, team. I have personal and or business issues, and I need some time. Take over until I feel I'm in a better place." Or (and I prefer this one) you are just a greedy fuck that came up with a way to bail and "attempt" to steal from customers. Only to realize: "Oh shit, funds running low, I better make a half-ass apology in order to do this all again! Maybe I won't seem like an out of touch douche bag if I post the apology right after I try and drum up interest and subs for BF!"

Here's how you fix your image and reputation, if you haven't already completely fucked both of those up:
A. Refund every cent of money in the form of subs that you took in while the above mentioned bullshit was occurring.
B. Make a lot of apologies to customers / fans and your former team. I will let you know when you are done apologizing.
C. Remove yourself from working on a game ever again and hand over anything that was created before your "hiatus" in terms of an update towards AP to your former team, the people who you bailed on and left holding the bag.
D. Find work in a different industry. You aren't suited for anything that relies on communication, project management, or not being an out of touch scammer.
E. Change the name from "Team Bieno" to "Team Fuckstick." It's just you now and whatever low IQ person feels the need to hang around you after the shit you pulled.

If there’s one person in this whole world who’s opinion I care for with regards to any of this stuff.. it’s my boy RedPillBlues

Have you kept up on any of this news the past month, man?

 

[fan765]

A spiritual successor is announced that is moving forward at a breakneck pace with great art and suddenly this guy comes crawling back saying, "Wait! Don't leave!"

What are the chances lmao

Yep.

Don't believe a word Gzone says. His track record has proven he's a liar and is completely unreliable.

I feel sorry for the people who for whatever reason get suckered in again and pay money to this thief. Let him prove his intentions by actually doing some real work and delivering a full and complete update that isn't just a rearranging of assets. THEN pay him based on what he delivers - NOT before.

If you haven't, I would consider making a discussion thread for the new game, it would be a good way to keep things organized.

I think that’s smart

 

[motherfucker]

I think that’s smart

Please do, I look forward to Dark Dimension and love the art for it.

I’ll add additional tags for it later, polish it up a little when I’m on my Desktop, but assuming it’s gone live and didn’t need Mod approval:

Dark Dimensions- Pre Production Discussion thread!

Anyone who wants to know more about the new Stray Dream Games project we have cooking up can find it over there, so that there’s no cluttering up of this page.

I’ll be posting the link to the Valerie Gray WIP portrait preview that should be going up in about 7 hours on there instead of here. If people want to see that and future posts related to our game, this new thread is where you’ll wanna go. Hope that helps.

I have at least for the most part, i'm in the new discord after all. However, I havent got a chance to read this thread disscussions on it and I wont tonight. I'll DM you tomorrow after I've had a chance to read this thread and reread all the posts you've put out about it.

Absolutely spot on!

Haven't been on this one in a while until I saw news of a to put it lightly half-assed attempt at an apology, but what's this about a spiritual successor/new Danny Phantom game?

Edit: nvm i found it, already looks good and being made by the old team, high hopes already!

Long story short, when GZone disappeared, his former team took things into their own hands & tried to continue with the game. However, since GZone owns the intellectual rights to Amity Park & Breeding Farm, they had to start from scratch, and do every single thing, all over again.

They actually have a topic of their own, feel free to follow & join the fun. The game is called "Dark Dimensions", and it will be a "spiritual successor" to Amity Park.

I’ll add additional tags for it later, polish it up a little when I’m on my Desktop, but assuming it’s gone live and didn’t need Mod approval:

Cheers for the context, I've been popping in and out for a few years occasionally checking what's up, the new game definitely looks good already, even with just the pre-production so I'll definitely check it out!

No prob. They also have their own Discord Channel where they post regular updates & character-related polls, so if you're interested drop by.

To the Supporters of Team Bieno & Stray Dream Games

Hello, and Pleasant day to you all. We here at SDG want to help clear up some about what’s been happening the last few days. Recently, our former head developer over at Team Bieno, GZone returned. He made a statement on his

You must be registered to see the links

last Tuesday. We were glad to see he is seemingly still active, as some theories during this time were not exactly positive… so we’re happy to know that he’s okay.

Now, a number of questions many of you have seemingly asked us based on his return: Will Amity Park return? Will Dark Dimensions now stop development? Will the teams reunite in some form or fashion? We don’t have a whole lot of definite answers, but the things we can say are for 100% absolute certain are the following:

1) Dark Dimensions is absolutely still moving forward, nothing about that has changed with this recent development. Every one of our staff members are staying on to move this new project along, as we have the confidence that it will succeed and a brand new start for things that feels well worth utilizing.

2) Payments and Invoices owed to former members of Team Bieno are being worked through right now, so that everyone gets paid what they were commissioned for Amity Park. It’s not all completely settled, but we didn’t want people to think that GZone wasn’t choosing to pay what was owed, he has shown he is ready to make that right.

3) Negotiations are being struck to try and branch the two companies off from each other as best we can. This includes potential contracted work, requests for former assets, and pro bono work. We can’t talk about anything in detail as we don’t want to set any unwarranted expectations. We simply want everyone to know that this will take the most time to nail down, and we might not know how things will shake out for a good while. Any expectations of things being worked out by this weekend will not likely occur. We will keep you as up to date as we can on things as we proceed.


That’s all we’ve got for the moment, so just to keep you guys not hanging without any news.

-The SDG Team

Nope, he is from Germany.

Hey now, so am I! Lol

 

[Jione007]

Is there any NTR in this game?? Some people are saying there is mom ntr (which i don't like) but I don't see any ntr tags. So I wanna know if it's true or not?
