I saw that you mentioned there's no plans to move other to something like Renpy due to everything being optimized or something for Godot. Was there any particular reasons for choosing to make the game in Godot over something like Renpy or Unity?

Any idea yet what's going on?
We'll be changing from the Forward+ renderer in Godot which uses Vulkan, to the Compatibility render that uses OpenGL which should be less demanding and more supported by more graphics cards. So when the bug fix comes (tomorrow as long as there aren't any major problems), try and see if that problem goes away.

Hi everyone, could you please tell me the name of the song and singer in the title screen?
second this
It’s just called “Dark Dimensions Theme” ultimately, and it’s one of those AI programs that we fed lyrics to. It’s no singer involved.

We are working with our sound guy to produce a proper real main menu theme, but I’m glad people have enjoyed this thing.

Just wondering if the OpenGL bug fixed version is available yet.

Thanks for the reply.
Music, gameplay and designs are really promising, good luck with the production and congratulations.
Even if I'm not English and I have trouble following the posts and updates I'll try.

Hey, is there a patch for the bug that closes the game after talking to Jazz in the living room?

New updated version is out that should eliminate this issue.

Only known big issue is a clock problem, involving the phone not being on the bed if you start a new game AFTER loading a save in which you’re past that point in time. Soft locks the game until you just restart.

First off, Tucker's eyes, unlike all the other characters. are looking directly at the player and ignoring Danny when he's talking to him. (It really creeps me out.)

You might explain during the into or elsewhere that the last season of the show haven't happened. Danny being exposed to everybody as Ghost Boy when he and all the other ghosts save the world from the asteroid and he falls for Sam.

The video is working now but on my computer it's still a major memory hog. Especially the transitions between backgrounds and when characters move around or into or out of the scene. I had to shut down my browser before it and my computer locked up.

When you increased Danny height you kept the proportions the same which explains why his head is bigger than Dash's now. Kinda off putting.

Still looking forward to the next update and where the game is going.

Yeah, we just don't have everybody's eyes and expressions done, and Tucker was just drawn with eyes facing out, as per what Psymind felt like doing with it. Will be fixed in due time, hopefully when Psy can go full-time.

I get this sentiment, but also don't rightly have any good idea at the moment as to how to do so without it being 4th wall breaking. Even through an omnipotent narrator like Clockwork or the Watchers, they'd have to express words like "skipped the third season" without it sounding goofy... I'll try and make it clear that this dimension is different from even the main show dimension, but I feel we haven't gotten to that point yet where that'd be necessary.

Everything else is valid and will try to take time to adjust.

After Maddie, Valerie is the hottest character so far!
... Poor Sam, always so underappreciated as best girl.

EDIT: And all the lewd art of Sam tends to turn her into an oversexed plastic bimbo, so... (I'm also not saying 'ew they gave Sam big tits' I'm saying 'ew they gave her horrible bolt-ons'. I'm not against a thiccer Sam, necessarily.)
