Congrats on the release! The art is gorgeous, and it's actually done well, in a way that evokes the source material. It's interesting, I grew up with these cartoons, and might actually like to see more cartoon derived works treated this faithfully in a way that still showcases your artists' skills. I hope you do very well with this one, and that you get many, many fans. Now I'll go ahead and test this demo out a little bit.

Big S/O to StoneColdWritecel for leaving our first review as a 5/5 considering it's EA right now. Much love, and much appreciation, glad you liked what you liked.

As for your note about the static looking characters, totally agree, we are a bit behind on getting the animation material in line with the faces that we've thus far made for each character. Not everybody has a full range of facial expressions even made yet, as there's a million other art assets in need, and none of work on DD fulltime, sadly. So it's one of those things that might just take additional time to implement as we go. The hope is to create in-game animatic flow like these, and we're working with our new animator to go about doing so.

So, just played through the demo, and have just a few thoughts. Played with the save and load functions, and found a glitch. If you save during any conversation at all, and then try to load back into it, it'll soft-lock, as in, the save will load, but the text box for the conversations never pop up, and disallows further progress. It does not soft-lock if you save while exploring the map and load back into those saves. It also does not soft-lock if you save while viewing Jazz in the shower, and load back into that scene, but the rollback notification will pop up multiple times upon loading the scene from a save. There also seems to be a fair smattering of minor spelling errors as one reads through the demo, but the rest of it seems fairly well written. I love the resting animations for the characters, and I look forward to when you have the facial animations built in. Haven't noticed any other issues so far, even when tooling through the menus.

With regards to the 1 star review courtesy of Blck, I also thank you for sharing youro thoughts. I still whole heartedly disagree with the legal ranglings people try and mention regarding the game getting taken down due to copyright, it's fair use parody as far as the eye can see, but I do agree that it's still in its early stages. But I also don't know that we set out to revolutionize the genre or reinvent the Danny Phantom porn parody world, just to surpass and succeed anything that's been thus far done.

Still, at least it was an honest review.

That review makes no sense with the one-star rating and feels like it was written by a chatbot.

I felt we deserved a LITTLE bit better than the lowest ranking possible, sure, considering the only complaints they mentioned were kinda subjective as to whether or not they were issues that actually affect the game's quality, but hey, free country. I hope others will help balance the score out a bit. And maybe someday, that review gets amended! Who knows!

Good luck with your project I was a fan of Amity Park but, well the development is too slow and it had needless redraws.
Ideally I wish to enjoy both of them.

It's 10000% chat-gpt slop, you can tell by the way it phrases things and the "concern" regarding its use of a Nickelodeon IP.

Bi-monthly (every two months) updates are planned, with July 11th being the first of this trend, and September 12th being the next installment.
Totally unrealistic and you better delete this before someone takes a screenshot. With every delay you will be reminded of this in your own words. :ROFLMAO:

As others have said, this was a bot reply. There is no way a human would have given it a 1-star rating.

Well, maybe there is one person who would...GZone (jealous much?) :ROFLMAO:

P.S. That is one of the classiest responses I have ever seen to a negative review. Just shows the character of team! (y)

Played the demo, know its still a work in progress but the battle system is very laggy. Beyond that, liking what I saw.

One quick question though for curiosity's sake; is Star wearing braces? I see what look like braces on the animated preview a few posts up.

I almost never play nsfw Western animation fan games, this included, but I have to say as a fellow artist, the art style is really really good. Seems pretty faithful to the original Hartman style, but with some anime and slightly mature nsfw influences.

See, we got our style redraws out of the way before the first launch date, thankfully!

Bold of you to assume they'll ever stop, lol

Having done creative works of various kinds as a hobby since I was in kindergarten, the redraws never end. Sometimes they even get cyclic. Artists are incapable of looking at their work without seeing every flaw the common man misses
