Breeding Animations Poll

lostraven — 03/21/2024 9:02 AM @everyone Hello Old Friends, This is an important announcement regarding the future of “Amity Park” and “Breeding Farm”. The staff of Team Bieno has determined that we are at an impasse regarding the future of game development as they currently sit. Our previous defacto lead developer, GZone hasn’t been sighted or been heard from by any of our staff since February 13th; some of us having un-replied DM’s from even months earlier than that. This has obviously been stressful and confusing for staff members that have produced work for game development and not been compensated or even had contact with the person responsible for such matters. It also goes without saying that this degree of delayed content has been an exceedingly frustrating and tedious process for all of you fans and supporters. This has been the last we’ve wanted to have happen, and we’ll be the first one’s to admit that this team and dev cycle has been absolutely mismanaged. Our goal going forward is to alleviate concerns that the team behind some of your favorite ghost and monster related content will never again produce something worth looking forward to or financially supporting. Before we get into any big news regarding what to expect from us going forward or where you might find that latest behind the scenes post, we want to firmly state this: IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY SUBSCRIBED TO EITHER THE GZONE PATREON OR THE BREEDING FARM PATREON AS OF THIS MOMENT IN TIME… CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IMMEDIATELY. The funds provided to either one of those Patreon’s are inaccessible to any current staff member except GZone, who is currently MIA. Your donations at this point are unfortunately being sent to an account we do not have the ability to access, and will as of this moment not contribute to the development of either project. We apologize for this unfortunate news, but we did not know how long GZone’s absence would extend to. Again, please, if nothing else but the sake of your own hard-earned cash, cancel your subscription before the month of March is over. 146 40 17 3 1 [9:03 AM] With that out of the way, we can begin to talk about some key background information that has led us to this point: ● Team Bieno was initially formed as a one-man development team by a one-man dev team, consisting solely of GZone. "Amity Park" was the first game created by GZone, with its initial build debuting some time back in mid-2017. That means Amity Park is nearly 7 years old at this point. ● Sometime in the summer of 2018, a fan by the name of Morah approached GZone over Patreon and suggested that they find somebody to proofread some of Amity Park’s scripts, as GZone’s native language was not English. GZone asked Morah to contribute his own skills as a script consultant, and the first collaborative effort was made. ● After two decently enough produced updates with Morah’s new scripts, Lostraven was asked by Morah to take over as head writer for the now budding team. Epadder was then brought on to contribute and assist with coding and posing. Following that, artists such as Frame, Psymind, and Julioaruka were brought on board to contribute to both Amity Park and the second game created by the team, “Breeding Farm”. ● Breeding Farm was created because GZone said that he wanted to have some more creative variety in his work, and felt that doing a parody game of an existing IP was becoming overly familiar for his liking. At the time, this seemed to be a good idea in order to shake off any creative funk that might have developed over working on the same exact project for almost a year and a half. ● Around the time of Breeding Farm’s first publication in August of 2019, GZone made the decision to create a “studio name” for the games that this particular team was developing. He called it “Team Bieno” as “Bieno” means “Farm” in Esperanto, an auxiliary language familiar to GZone. [9:03 AM] We think it’s fair to say that the stretches of time where development on Amity Park can be traced back to the creation of Breeding Farm, and the two games never properly were managed properly enough to coexist together. Where some might have focused on only one game at a time, or have alternating work orders for one game per update, Team Bieno was trying to work on both projects simultaneously. This caused a lot of issues with communication, not having certain aspects of game development ready for other members to take part in, and generally losing some of the momentum Amity Park was developing for itself. Breeding Farm should have in no way been a burdensome distraction, but it might certainly have benefited the team and the fans to have had better resource management and tighter deadlines. That all being said, what can or should happen from here? That’s what the remainder of the staff has already met, discussed, deliberated and tried to narrow down. These are some of the following concessions/agreements made by the team. The remaining staff of Team Bieno have decided to give GZone a three-month grace period to return any of our messages, starting at his last appearance on Feb. 13th. Therefore, GZone has until May 13th 2024 to reemerge via email, Discord, voice call, or any suitable method to prove he is active and accessible. In the event that GZone does not return within that given deadline, the remaining staff members will officially take action to begin work on future projects without GZone’s involvement. (The staff has narrowed down one main idea that we feel will best serve the needs of the team and interest at least the majority of Team Bieno’s following, but will not openly disclose that until the deadline has passed.) 13 50 10 2 1 [9:03 AM] If GZone does return at some point before the given deadline, invoices from staff owed for work will be asked to be paid out in full. A lengthy inquiry as to the full reasoning behind his disappearance will likely ensue, as this recent development (as well as prior absences and issues) have soured some of the staff members to a certain degree. Beyond that, changes made to the management of this team will be insisted upon so that this sort of thing involving lost resources cannot happen again. If the bulk of staff are satisfied after our thorough questioning into the disappearance of GZone, it is not out of the realm of possibility that he may be asked to contribute to this team’s future endeavors as well. The staff has unilaterally determined that issues have never stemmed from GZone’s personal conduct, and that beyond recent developments for the majority of the time, he has been a consummate professional and good business partner. Acknowledging that we do not have a complete picture as to why GZone has disappeared is important for us, as we don’t think it’s fair to potentially bastardize his character when we simply do not have all the facts. We’d prefer no speculation as to the nature of his absence as well, as it serves no real purpose. The remaining staff is transitioning over to a temporary SubscribeStar page in hopes of being able to pick up the pieces of what remains of people’s vested interest in our work. The “new” team will comprise the majority of staff that contributed to Amity Park and Breeding Farm, and will for the moment go by the team name of Stray Dream Games. “Team Bieno” will be dropped as our dev team name. The page we’ve set up is currently being reviewed for the moment, but when it is publicly available, we will let everyone know to go and follow it for future news and updates. Team member and writer Lostraven has been appointed as acting leader and head dev of Stray Dram Games. Any future projects will have to be completely separated from the pre-existing work commissioned/produced by and for GZone. [9:04 AM] The current Discord Server related to Amity Park/Breeding Farm will no longer be the main focus for the staff, and work is currently being made to operate and run a new official server under the SDG mantle. Until the SubscribeStar page goes live, the existing Discord will be the best way to hear from staff about news and updates and ask pertinent questions. We will be making some additional behind the scenes decisions during the interim waiting period to help us prepare for an official “jumping of ship”, as it were. We will let fans know more information as soon as possible, and will be working the best we can to try and satisfy frustrated fans and supporters of both Breeding Farm and Amity Park. Some of these decisions will feel agonizing after an already extensive waiting period, but the decisions we are making here are done in the best interest for the future of this group and its fans. Without taking these steps to correct an incredibly off course ship, we would most likely never be able to produce another piece of content for the fans. We hope you can understand the situation we have been put into and how these choices were not made lightly. We will wish for the potential return of GZone and we hope that they simply needed time away to decompress or figure some things out for themselves. Nobody on staff has any ill will towards them as a human being, and we hope they are well, wherever and whatever they may be doing. That being said, we will also be working hard to prove to you all that we are a committed group of talented individuals, that just want to make good adult content for you all. Thank you all, and thank you for reading this extensive announcement. Stay tuned. -Lostraven & SDG 67 77 60 30 21 lostraven — 03/21/2024 9:14 AM @everyone I'm going to add an additional point. While the above statement was prepared by the team, this is coming from me, Lostraven himself. Suffice to say, I want to re-assure people I'm extremely confident should G-Zone be gone that I can effectively take over. The team supports me, and we we have some amazing ideas cooking that I can't fully talk about yet, but I know you guys will love it. Suffice to say, it's probably the worst kept secret that I have not been happy with the management of the games for a while, and while there will be some changes, I believe long-term, this is a storm to be weathered, but this is not the end... Stay tuned for the temporary subscribestar page announcement, and thank you for your patience. https://subscribestar.adult/stray-dream-games

lostraven — Yesterday at 4:59 PM @Patrons To any remaining patrons - As the end of the month draws near, we strongly at this time urge you once again to cancel your pledges to either the Amity Park or Breeding Farm patreon pages if you have not already. None of the team have access to those pages in light of G-Zone's absence -

Andrew S Barnes

The same is happening to me

Harrison J. Glass

Ganesh B S i 'm going through that as well my game get stuck when i try to sleep forcing me to reload my save

Carlos A soto

i have played through but there is a bug in which the game gets stuck when i try to sleep at night in the event dynamite duo.

Ganesh B S

more variation with main Character

MasterTrapLover

I would love to see more scenes with Rika. I don't mean with main character, but with monsters. I remember in story there was conversation with Rikka where we could ask her to work as a breeder again. So if there were more scenes Rika withs monster that would be fantastic.(Sorry if there was already question like this, and I hope you think about this idea :).

EvilKing6

To be honest i wasn't expecting for the update to have so many new animations. Don't get me wrong i liked then but i was a little dissapointed because i was expecting more history content like in 0,5. Anyways, 7/10 overall.

kaiser

go to town and it should appear ( tough i am not certain it was in night or day )

Kingskiller

Quick question how do you get to the witches house after collecting the hair

Mrsmall0170

Sorry I had meant Katelyn not Cecilia I had the there names mixed up lol but thanks for the message I'll check out the discord

Alex

Cecilia is already an option in the Pit. But Rika won't become an option there. Also, check out our Discord server. It's easier to answere questions there.

Bieno

Hey idk if this the right place to ask this but I was just curious if Cecilia and Rika will in the future be options for breeding/breeders (Also sorry if this question has already been asked)

Alex

Forget about the mama of the ranch I want the daughter of the ranch

Raven Winters

That would be awesome, especially if can we can get Cecilia and Rika more scenes together or more breeding combinations with them, lots of work but we on keep dreaming.

Wolf Boy

I remember being excited to see Rika as a breeding option in the pen after she says she'll come out of retirement, but I know that's a lot of work.

Bin Juice

Thank you for the comment. We will probably hold a poll to decide how much everyone wants this since it would require a lot of work.

Bieno

Then you can look forward to v.0.4 since it has such a scene

Bieno

I would like to see a female breeder

I think you should have a cut scene of Rika and a wolfman or something since I remember that being a topic discussed in game.

Alex Hartly

I mean focusing on the player character would be nice but in time I'd like to see both

gdsryrox

All I ask, is the Cowgirl Tittyjob.

Vestige

I would like to see bothboth

When is the next update to the game is gonna be

Jacob Fleniken

wait does this mean there won't be any more cross between different races? feels like that takes a chunk out of the game.

Flyingdrull

When is the next update

Jacob Fleniken

Not sure yet.

Bieno

How long would we have to wait till the next update?

Maria Nikson

We have a discord for this game

Bieno

As long as the game gets worked on faster idc tbh

Repost121

is there a discord for this?

Dart Dart

I say, focus on releasing the game with just player animations and maybe release a DLC secondary release with monster animations? That way the game is complete without them but for those of us who still want it or feel the game will be more complete with them, we can opt into it and yall will still get paid for the work without as much pressure for a deadline!

Regina Stacy

Yeah, that was the idea.

Bieno

Let's say a lot. We won't make a definitive answer but the plan was to have at least a few variations on already existing monsters and maybe for now at least 10-20 new monster races in the game.

Bieno

Yeah, that was the idea.

Bieno

You mean Rika and Cece as a combination or in one of them and a monster. As for Rika and Cece, we have a scene for them but it's a story-related story and does not play on the breeding ground.

Bieno

Those combinations were already in process of creating before we published this poll

Bieno

Personally I would prefer to focus on player and possibly cece + monster animation. Trying to do it for all is simply too much for smaller team and it would hinder progress for other stuff and the quality would have to be worse as well to at least manage it in somewhat timely manner. Better to focus on main characters and make it higher quality like for example if you ever made more variety of the same species - different faces, body structure, size/shape of genitals etc to make separate animations for those etc. Quality over quantity in this case definitely for me.

Ak4sh4

How many monster races are you guys planning on adding?

Dramatic_Spoon

Yes so the updates come faster and there are more races faster and it is also clear if you do all the combinations that the work is multiplied for each additional race but because of not doing all the animations, I don't think that's right Because of that, I don't think it's bad if only player animations come up at the beginning and when the game has progressed further and the animators have more experience to gradually add the remaining animations

Jan Theessen

Me personally, I would like to see more player character x any gender, cece x any gender, and same race coupling animations. Then whatever y'all feel like fluffing out down the road.

Dienur Wanderlust

How about adding F/F Rika and Cece content on breeding ground as extra pose ?

Maria Nikson

I'd prefer if you made animations not for all combinations but if both are the same race (for example Wolfman x Doggirl) and maybe Cece and male animals

SeppHero

That being said, as someone with (again, very limited) experience in game development, it's so important to be doing something you're excited about/want to do. If there are features you all want to experiment with, go for it! If animations is what you're feeling passionate about, by all means do that. When you're doing something you want to be doing, the work goes faster, turns out better, and doesn't feel as much like work. At least that's how it feels for me. I know that's all fairly obvious, I'm not trying to be some kind of life coach. I just wanna put it out there that at least one of your supporters will be behind you if that's how you want to operate, at least to an extent. I understand that you aren't machines, and you can't/won't always do what I or others want. And that's chill. Y'all do you. That's how I think you'll make the best product. Keep up the good work!

GREG STEELE

Hey! It's nice to hear from y'all so soon after your last post. I think I speak for all of us in saying that we really appreciate it. My two cents in all this is that animations should usually come second after mechanics. While striking a balance is crucial, we can find hentai animations just about anywhere. The gameplay is what sets you apart, and why I've stuck around for so long. Animations/H-scenes are important almost as a reward or objective, but I (in my very limited expertise) think that the majority of resources should be going elsewhere, to make the game feel more like a game.
