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

[gemini20xx]

Wouldn't it make sense to finish Jazz, then move to Sam and then some epilogue? I agree there won't be much updates since Gzone basically lost support and his (some?) staff. Tough road ahead, he'd have to scale back whatever ambition he had on this game. He also have to deal with other game, the breeding farm game.

I don't think the current episode is properly finished yet, until we at least get to drill Jazz... last spoiler I saw was an animated shot of Danny doing that.

After that... I don't know. I'll amend my prediction of how many chapters are left from at most to at least, though.

one for Valerie

Well, not to be much of a negative Nancy, as we’re still in the midst of patching things up, but i feel that unless somebody explicitly reminds him that my girl Valerie even exists, I wonder if we’ll see a lick of her or Ishiyama in these wrap up updates.

They were never GZone’s faves. I wonder if he’d even ask LR to include her in the final scripts. I’m moderately hoping though, more Valerie content can’t hurt nobody!

 

[Some_Guy86]

I got that feeling too about the number of updates. I'm predicting about at most three chapters - one for Valerie, one to wrap up the relationships of the characters overall and one where we turn Vlad into a spectral smear across the ground - before AP wraps up.

Well, this is not a "feeling" ... I said what GZone himself wrote on his Discord channel. The game will only get one or two more updates, featuring Maddie, Sam and maybe Jazz focused updates. I would gladly quote him on that one, copy/paste his most recent announcement but since I gave up on all Discord servers, it wouldn't make much sense to go back just because of that, alone.

Other than that, the story is pretty much done which totally makes sense, considering the upcoming spiritual successor is on its way.

Since Maddie scene was already wrapped up & ready, I have a feeling that we'll be getting her first, and then deal with Sam later. Besides, from what I remember it's been officially said that Sam will be featured in the very last update.

As for Jazz, I honestly have no clue... Don't remember seeing or reading anything Jazz related, but I could be wrong.

That's okay, as I'm sure we'll be getting Valerie in Dark Dimensions & the attention she deserved

As for Amity Park, I will just repeat what I said many times by now ... I have very low (next to none) expectations to see the game done. So if we can actually get to a proper ending, great! If not, fine by me as I have high hopes for upcoming DD.

hopefully the updates are a massive one

My prediction for Amity Park getting finished:

Gzone will make a bunch of promises about recommitting himself to finish the game. *done*

Gzone will release 1 piece of artwork a month for the next six months while continuing promises that the game is getting the new update(s) SOON. Just need everyone to keep paying so he can get another team together. You think he's gonna finish the game by himself?LOL!

Gzone will then go silent or release a promise/apology statement that he needs time off because he can't find a team, his homework ate his dog, or somesuch.

If enough people wake up and stop paying for nothing, start supporting Dark Dimensions while he is flaking for another year, he will release a completely screwed up 'update' that is comprised of simply rearranging existing assets destroying the existing storyline and calling it 'NEW'. We already got a little taste of that in 9.6.

He will then make more apologies/promises and trickle out artwork here and there to keep the few remaining suckers on the hook instead of doing real work for another year following that. After that he will disappear again never to be heard from again with everyone's money.

You do know he is making more money in a month off this game than many people make in a year, right? And for what? What work has he seriously done in the past 2 years to earn it? All the really good work that was put into Amity Park for the past few years was done by the team he dissed - the same team that are now working on Dark Dimensions! Gzone hasn't done squat.

To my understanding, Amity Park's Patreon page went down (due to legal reasons & Patreon no longer allowing sexual content) and will not be renewed or moved to another platform. At least that is what GZone said himself, over on Discord Channel.

As for finding the team, his former team (now Stray Dream Games) agreed to work for him & finish Amity Park throughout the next couple of updates, which was ... or rather is one of the reasons the game is about to end. The same team however will and /is/ working simultaneously on Dark Dimensions, which is why I'm feeling kinda optimistic regarding Amity Park's grand finale.

EDIT
Right, so I just checked it myself and indeed, the official Patreon page for Amity Park is still unavailable. Keeps saying that the page is "Under Review", and it's been like that for a while now.

EDIT2
I will say & repeat the same thing which I recently wrote over at DikGames, the best thing you can do is to follow BOTH Discord Channels (for Amity Park & Stray Dream Games, Dark Dimensions) where you can read the announcements yourself & find all the answers you may have. Since it's been explained several times by now, from both parties even.

 

[Razeluxe]

I'm glad it will be finished. Played it for the first time last week and found it surprisingly interesting. Kind of dumb in many, many areas....and creepy in an uncomfortable way (tucker), and the overly dramatic backstories for the ghosts was definitely a bit much (lookin' at you Penelope), but still. Lot of heart seemed to go into making this.

I do wish the Maddie stuff was toned down, she has the most scenes in the game it feels like (and they're adding more??), and the Jazz stuff should have happened sooner considering she was teased as the very beginning of the game. Sam especially needs to be finished considering she is still the "main girl" of the thing.

I'm ranting. Good game. interesting ideas. hurray for getting finished. (hopefully)

Yeah, I'm not going back to Gzone's discord. Ever.
The guy didn't have the balls to admit he was a scammer while I was a subscriber of AP for well over a year.
He didn't have the balls to admit he was a scammer when the previous artist bailed and he put out the message akin to: "looking for a new artist to work for free!" While he continued to tease updates without admitting he already decided on switching to a 1 year update schedule for AP.
He didn't have the balls to tell subscribers / fans / customers that he intentionally made the choice to spend less time on the more popular game (AP) which netted him more money compared to BF while continuing to push for subs for AP.

In what could have been an apology where he saved face and turned this clusterfuck around by posting something along the lines of: "I'm a douchebag dumbass who got greedy and chose to bail on customers I stole from." He instead went through the mental gymnastics of teasing an update to BF followed immediately (within less than 45 seconds) of posting a half ass apology.

Gzone is an out of touch moron who couldn't care less about his actions or that he screwed over and continues to screw over any remaining fans / customers. To be honest, I'm amazed if after the shit he pulled he has any subscribers / fans / customers left.

Gzone doesn't deserve to ever be involved in a game in any sort of way on any level, doesn''t deserve to converse with former or potential subscribers, or be in any form of project management.

While I do agree on what's been said above to a certain degree (since I was never a subscriber, myself), I would like to point out that GZone is obviously not the only person on Discord who can give you the answers you want, and that you could easily find out what is going on even without direct interaction with him.

I don't like the guy either, and there are indeed far too many unanswered questions, but I've decided to stay around for a while longer (during his disappearance) because I had a "feeling" something would happen - sooner or later. As it happened, I was right.

You could also follow the other Discord Channel, from Stray Dream Channel folks where you probably won't find any information on Amity Park, but you could ASK in the public chat ... I'm sure that either devs or one of the fans will answer you. That being said, I left both Discord channels myself, so I'm obviously not going to push you (or anyone else for that matter) into anything if you don't want to. The choice is yours to make.

You left SDG for any particular reason? :O

 

[Some_Guy86]

You left SDG for any particular reason? :O

Just the Discord channel, yeah (it's been couple of days now). Nothing wrong in particular, I just wasn't feeling useful enough. You know, I hadn't been contributing in any creative way, and it felt as if I was stuck in a loop of trivial and off-topic posts.

That being said, I'm still following everything else, so don't worry

Wait, wait, wait.

So Gzone has now 'sabotaged' Dark Dimensions by getting the team to AGAIN agree to work on HIS game (Amity Park) - instead of being able to focus on theirs (Dark Dimensions) - after he treated them and all the Amity Park supporters like dirt?!?!

Man, this guy is an evil genius. He is able to not only continue to string people along for Amity Park for god knows how long into the future but also throw a monkey wrench directly into the competitions game at the same time!

No, I wouldn't say he "sabotaged" anyone or anything. The team decided to do so on their own terms, and wanted to finish the game. Meanwhile, they are working on Dark Dimensions as we speak ... in fact, there had already been plenty of announcements, artwork & game mechanics done for DD, where for Amity Park there hasn't been anything really, other than GZone's announcement & "promise".

However, you need to understand that Amity Park already has a whole heap of unused material, new scenes & patches done & just waiting to be released. They (former team) already finished it long time ago, so it was only a question of whenever we would actually see anything or not. But now that GZone is back, I'm guessing we will ... maybe ... most likely?

I know for the fact that one of these updates was/is going to be "Love Hotel" feature, which includes (at least one) NSFW scene with Maddie. Not sure about anything else, but I'm guessing there will be other, mainly story-related updates as well.

I've only worked on his work (Amity Park) in conjunction with my work (Dark Dimensions) for a total of like, 5 minutes. I just made him some remixed versions of backgrounds for him to find his angles. Just for what he asked thus far. I saw him talking about putting out an AP update in May, and... I don't know about all that. Even with the assets we had produced already, I'd be shocked if it was out by then, but amazed for the fans.

Idk what everyone else has produced for him as of the "Team Bieno Farewell Tour" that's happened, Psymind's getting over the flu at the moment. Thankfully it wasn't dengue and this man just needed some medicine. Of all the people we couldn't afford to just lose out on for 2-3 weeks... he's still working on the new Danny Phantom Portrait at the moment.

Sorry, I was under the impression that GZone & you guys (SDG) settled upon terms & conditions on what to do and how to proceed. If necessary, I could rephrase my upper post.

Aw man, that's a bummer. Hope he makes a quick recovery, health comes first & only then, everything else afterwards.

It's not abandoned, GZone just had problems with Patreon and the updates will take more time cuz his team went to another place

 

[Epoch3000]

It's not abandoned, GZone just had problems with Patreon and the updates will take more time cuz his team went to another place

It's marked "abandoned" due to lack of updates from Gzone for over a year.

The problems with Patreon were problems that Gzone created by stealing from subscribers and forcing them to contact patreon for refunds when he disappeared. Also, Patreon does not like certain material.

As to "cuz his team went to another place". That is not why his former coworkers moved on. They moved on because Gzone lacks the ability to communicate, lacks time management and project management abilities, didn't pay his former / current coworkers, and last but not least is just a piece of trash who stole from subscribers then bailed when he noticed the update deadline (which Gzone previously mentioned changed to 1 time per year) was approaching.

Stop making excuses for Gzone. The guy is a massive scumbag.

 

[spinorules1995]

so the maker is a scumbag? so the game is dead dead then

Anybody have Amity park before redux. For Android
