This is an example of the first working build we have,  that mainly only contains GUI elements we've designed, and the current generation battle system. The intro should explain more and help preface things better, and I've gotta head to work now, but I wanted to have something new to show you guys!

Enjoy Epadder's little test play through and give us your thoughts in the comments below!

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 Team Bieno Patreon 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 that a brand new start for things 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.

"Look out! I think Morah-Morah likes you! Here he comes!"

🎶 I Like em'  Big... I like em' Chunky 🎵

So, uhh... anyway! We're still making a game!

Oh, I've been excited about this one, let me tell you. In fact, I probably don't even have to tell you! If you knew anything about me and my work on the previous game, you know I am a huge fan of Valerie Gray. Criminally underrated in the realm of Rule 34 and the general fandom of Danny Phantom media. We never got her reaction to Danny's big secret! So much potential! It's stuff like this that makes me really happy we get to explore and expand on Valerie's character arc more than the show ever got to. Or even the previous game! I think we wrote her one entire H-Scene. We'll definitely want to rectify that, along with other underapreciated babes, ghostly and otherwise.

So as you can, Valerie is rather well endowed, and S T U R D Y. I definitely wanted her to have the hips and the butt, as she was clearly drawn to be plump and a lil' chubby in the show. In our story, Valerie's body has obviously matured a good deal now that she's more grown up. I suggested the spaghetti strap material, cause I like the idea of showing off her shoulders more, and just think it's something she'd wear. Valerie is a proud woman, unashamed by her curves and figure! For that, we love her even more...

Number of little features and design changes we made I'd like to point out. Psymind said we should try to add some eyeshadow, of which I opted for olive green, which with her eyes was good combo. We tried for like lime green, for her nails? To me it looked like she had little green M&M's on her fingers, it stood out too much, so a soft yellow was used instead. Her nose is different in the show, and neither Psymind or I wanted to give her strong nostrils, so the additional little touch is, I think, a nice enough touch.

So much hair! I wonder what she'd look like without the bandana. I suppose we'll have her take it off at some point, right? That'll be interesting to see. Valerie in the show had a chain around her neck, but it looked more like a bronze choker, with a little bronze circle attached. To us, it kind of looked like a dog tag, and... yeah. Yeah, no. So now it's a little golden chain and locket, something that we'll use to explore more of character and show a little more depth to her story. I like the way Psy drew it lower, just above the heavy cleavage line. Very alluring!

The earrings, golden, I liked that choice. The bracelets, more classical to the show. At one point I wondered if we might make them scrunchies, but her sense of style I think is more suited for some kind of proper accessory. Okay, we've covered the top half, of her model, now we can talk about the remaining 90% of her portrait...

The Pencil skirt design we used as reference was I thought a good type to mimic in Valerie's look because it has these pre formed wrinkles that naturally accentuate a woman's curves. That skirt ref was also a more saturated orange, and so Psymind used it as a color variant for the skirt and the bandana, but we both agreed it would be too strong of a color, and I personally enjoy just the classic colors. But, we could very well use that sort've color palette for something like a dress in a dance/Senior Prom update! I think she'd look quite ravishing in a proper attire like that. You'll also notice that we chose to keep Valerie's top tucked into her skirt, as opposed to hanging over it, like before. I like this choice a lot, because now we get that real lovely belly paunch. Juuuuust the right amount of chub.

Valerie, I think we've conjectured, might have the fattest ass in the game, period. I mean, that's hard to truly say for certain, considering we're only 7 characters in, but I felt her gluteus maximus had to go BIG or go home with her design. So Valerie's hips, butt, thighs and legs are built Ford tough, and they're currently leading the pack in terms of pure W A G ON factor. But who knows, maybe she'll get beat out when we make Skulker or Box Ghost...

Uhh, what?

Wrapping things up, the classic yellow socks with some light pattern striping, and some really fitting velcro strap shoes. I loved how Psymind did Valerie, I think she's a real stand out model, and I know I'm clearly biased in that regard, but as a major Valerie fanatic, I give her my personal approval, and I hope you enjoyed seeing her new look as well.

Now, we actually had Valerie's Technus Suit form up next on the docket, but we're actually gonna switch gears and make something other than a character portrait next with Psymind's skill set. Could take some time to fully get done, but we'll learn a great deal of what we're gonna be able to do with H-Scene CG stylization... I'm looking forward to it, and so should you!

Otherwise, happy Hump Day, thanks for reading my big long love letter to my childhood crush, and we'll see you out there!

So… yeah. GZone is seemingly back, and we’re discussing several things. All the things.

Formal announcement to be made in a few days, so keep your ears to the ground on that.

-The SDG Team 

Okay, realized my mistake before, so now I want to correct it from the beginning with a new poll. Navel Piercing had 50% of the vote before I deleted it, but let's see how we go now with all the options listed!

Remember, this is about Ember and whether she gets a navel piercing, nipple piercings, both, or neither!

I won't make another poll after this so as to not annoy anyone! This one will go until Thursday now.
