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

[Soya]

Capitalization, underscores, pressing enter and not clicking the scene arrow, all very important steps.

Lol, then may be something wrong with my pc because I did exactly that

If that's your prerogative, all power to you. I think the update after the next one (cause this is only half the update for the dance, we still have to put Paulina and Star in), will have exactly what you're looking for. I personally didn't find the errors present that people are noting (minus the Dash one, that one is pretty obvious, and has since been fixed, soon to be updated), but I can understand certain people not liking the dialogue the most, even though I've seen more positive than bad. Although maybe it was just this update, but I thought they were all pretty similar in terms of quality... minus the self inserts we added... oof...

After writing that post I did not think it was fair to give judgement solely on what others were saying so I decided to give this update a try.

Bugs: I didn't start from the beginning so I can't much comment on the bugs, Episode 5 had no problems for me whatsoever, not a bug in sight.

Combat: The fight in the mall with the Ghost Dragon felt a bit difficult. I was blocking when she was charging attacks and attacking when she wasn't but lost pretty badly. Since I started immediately with Episode 5 I miss out on some fights and therefor I miss out on leveling up so I can't win the fight without cheats. Honestly the combat isn't the main reason I play the game so it isn't a big deal to me but maybe if someone selects to start with a certain Episode you can level them up accordingly so they don't have to use cheat codes.

Writing: I actually really enjoyed it, Desiree slowly opening up to Danny is cute and how feisty/playful she was at the dance. I didn't see the problem that others with drunk Sam, think developers should be allowed a little freedom with how the characters act, as long as they don't stray too far. The Maddie content was cute at times too and could feel that sexual tension building up. The only cringe parts to me were the self insert parts hah. I think it's fine at the end or beginning of an Episode if you really want to do it but not randomly in the middle of the quests.

Animation/Art: Great as always, my only small gripe is the attempt making it look like the characters are talking. Desiree scene is not so bad with the lip movement but Sam's is kinda silly. It's admirable to want to make the scenes better but the mouth movements need to be more smooth/natural. Not trying to bash the animator as he/she does make great scenes but if it saves the animator time and saves you a bit of money you could probably skip animating the mouth.

Long post I know but I wanted to give my full feedback on the current state of the game. Despite my perverted want of more Maddie/Jazz content the game is still really enjoyable to me. The rate at which updates come out don't bother me because 1.) I am not a Patreon so to complain about something I am getting for free is really low. 2.) The low amount of people who are actually working on the game. If you guys were making as much as like..Summertime Saga then yeah..I would totally be on your case about the release schedule lol. Quality content that game may be but sheesh..the releases feel painfully slow for the amount of money he is making.

Greatly appreciate the feedback, and I agree 100% with what you're saying. I'll try to keep the amount of self inserts to a minimal when it's not needed, because we're not trying to make a thing out of it, story-wise.

I've been getting an error starting from Episode 1, around the time the octopus ghost pops out of the box Dash gets for Paulina. Missing image, maybe?

Yeah, I fixed that last night. Ren'Py can be very silly and stubborn when it comes to simply renaming a folder. If it's not what it's used to using, it'll either have to force itself to adapt or just refuse to work altogether, even though it would work just fine if it simply opened up and looked inside a newly named folder. It makes tidying up and organizing things a pain in the ass, sadly.

Yeah, I checked back a page and saw I wasn't the only one who had the error so I deleted my post, thanks for getting it fixed. Great looking game, hopefully you get the patch out soon so I can get to the rest of it!

Well, can't you just hit the ignore button a few times to get past it? What version are you using, system wise?

Ahh, that did it, I just didn't hit it enough times when I tried earlier so I didn't think it was having any effect.

Greatly appreciate the feedback, and I agree 100% with what you're saying. I'll try to keep the amount of self inserts to a minimal when it's not needed, because we're not trying to make a thing out of it, story-wise.

Definately not trying to take away your fun hah, it's just a time and place thing. Maybe you could self insert with something like tips. If someone gets stuck on a quest and is not sure what to do next (Even though the quests are pretty simple and straight forward..you do have those individuals heh) they can select a hint/tip option and Morah or Gzone come to the rescue and add commentary.

P.S - It's great to see a developer so responsive and communicative with their fans, so kudos for that.

Yeah, there's a couple of images it's looking for with regards to that scene, so once it gets past those, it should be good to go.

We have that in the Quest Log booklet, giving hints as to the next quest's current objective, but maybe putting in a little Tip button that cycles through a couple dozen tips would be cool! That's a nice idea.

 

[Lucifoxifer]

Anyone have the cheat codes for the computer?

 

[Carmen Sandiego]

So what's new with the update? Rendering out some shit so I gave it a go, couldn't see anything different. Well, I did see a tit job from the ghost chick but I dunno if that's new or not.

 

[Boofer]

how the heck do you beat this genie. It doesnt let me use my x2 damage ability when i face her

 

[HypnoFan1950]

MorahZamora, since you're here, I was wondering if you'd be willing to add more "corrupt" options for Danny in the future?
I personally don't much enjoy playing as the heroic type, and I really like when games give you a corrupt/sadistic route to take as well.

I understand that he starts out fairly heroic, but maybe he could become more corrupted through certain circumstances?
Idk, I just tend to prefer being a bit of an asshole in these types of games, so I'd be interested in more options that involve degradation/humiliation (in a somewhat cruel, sadistic way). Just something to consider.

Just trying 0.4.1, got an error in the first visit to the park w/ Pauline. When the ghost octopus appears and touches Dash, it fails with "Couldn't find file 'characters/Dash Baxter/Flip/dash f85.png'". I haven't been able to get past this....

 

[Unreal434]

How do you beat the dragon in ep5 in the mall? Its mathematically imposible. There has to be some kind of strategy that I´m missing.

Just keep pressing ignore, it's looking for a couple dozen of images, but it's easy to get past. That's been fixed, noted, and going to be in a hot patch real soon.

It's impossible if you click Ep 5 from the beginning, but you don't need to beat it. Just click "No" when it asks if you'd like to try again. It's possible by starting from the beginning and gaining experience and leveling up. Fixing it so your stats continued onward from the point of you playing last would be our dream scenario, but we're just not there at this moment in time, unfortunately.

If you're looking for corrupt/sadistic game route, I would go to Taffy Tales and not here, and I mean that in a good way. I think that GZone and I are pretty kink interested, but we're just not corrupt oriented people at heart, and that reflects in our development. Especially when writing for a character like Danny Fenton, writing him making bad choices or "evil" routes has never felt right, so we just make it so he makes decisions with his dick instead of his head. That feels like a better route than to tamper too greatly to his moral outlook. Ya know what, down the line, a Dark Danny angle could be an element we throw in to give Danny a line of more sadistic route options, but we're just not there at the moment. Thanks for your input, of course.

Fair enough (and I appreciate that you're at least considering adding it in some form eventually).

But to clarify: What I'm speaking of doesn't necessarily need to be flat out "evil". To stay more in line with Danny's character, these options could just be a bit more selfish/mean-spirited, but viewed as ultimately harmless by Danny... However, the important part would be the effect that it has on the girls, which would be slightly less harmless. Basically, in these options, he could just be a bit more selfish, but still relatively naive, so that the end result is humiliating/degrading for the girl (So it potentially harms her self-confidence or reputation, but from Danny's perspective, the girl seems to be enjoying it as much as he is in the end, so it doesn't appear to be morally wrong).
I mean, I'd even be somewhat satisfied with options that just flat out ACCIDENTALLY end in the girl somehow being humiliated/degraded.

Either way though, I appreciate how often you seem to respond to everyone on here, and I've still been mostly enjoying the game so far (There just aren't currently many options that appeal to my taste).
