Ren'Py - Holiday Island [v0.4.5.1] [darkhound1]

A game with a pretty simple premise, containing lots of well produced CG and nice mechanics. Some minigames (i.e. poker) are breaks in the fun, however this doesn't affect the game at all.

Pros:
- Well produced CG
- Lots of girls
- Lots of events

Cons:
- Most CG appears compressed
- Some girls have practically zero content, whereas others have reams of CG's and events

Overall it's a strong game with a lot of promise, and well worth a look.

Really enjoying the overall game and the various girls. Although admittedly not a fan of huge breasts, the enjoyment I get from the rest of the game makes them bearable even if at times they just look too unreal.

There is so much content in this damn game. 2 hours in and I'm still getting unique moments that I haven't experienced yet. It's not a game filed with a wide variety of kinks but there are a wide variety of personalities. Would 100% recommend a playthrough.

Vanilla but excellently so, not everything needs to be fetish upon fetish and this game is one of the only high quality and regularly updated games that doesn't go out of its way to be 'taboo' for the patreon bucks.

IDK...the renderings are great, and there are many characters and I love a build up in a game, but this is a little too redundant for my tastes.

On the "scoring" system, I build up maximum lust, affection and love with some of the earlier characters, (Brenda, Jennifer, Renee, Jessica, etc.) but then the game hits a stone wall. So far I've only come up with sex scenes with Alice and Joy, with a little playing with the others.

With games like Man of the House and My Cute Cousin, there was the same build up and repetition, but...you knew there was something in the end. You can only hug and kiss someone so many times without taking it further.

But this is just me. Many others like this game, I just can't keep doing the same thing over and over.

Holiday Island is a great game with ever expanding content, constant feedback from developer, artwork is very nice to look at, frequent updates, a bit grindy but good in game hint system. Really looking forward to the future development of the game

Well put together game with lot's of contents and great art work. Unique story, which leads to curiosity about a possible hidden agenda.
Few bugs, but appears an active Developer who cares for his project. Needs a few game tweaks here and there.
Overall good gaming experience, only missing sound to be a masterpiece!

[as of 0.0.9.3] Continues to be the most fap-able game I've seen in a long time. Grind has purpose that is viewable\"tangable". Still requires user to cheat to NOT be overwhelmed by grind (tons of blue pills, gifts . Player Stat cheats are just a given Don't recommend cheating girl stats) If I were to play by the rules, I think the grind would really aggravate me and either cause me to berate the dev for artificially adding grind as a way of adding hrs/gameplay to the resume or just his vision & mine not clicking on what a post 50yo asshole that's in his 3rd decade of playing porn games considers grind. (I've played every Eushully title=Grind King)
Having said that, and gotten it out of the way, I love the variety and quality of the models. Several feel really fleshed out and "human" . Yvette reminds me of my ex, a 4'11" Cubana with 38 double D's gifted by genetics, not a Dr..(she was also gifted by gravity, something I notice is non-existent here, but that's a dev call.
(idk if breast gravity would even effect a still unless the poser let's you frame by frame a sex act. me=not knowledgeable on Posers that come with every Illusion title or 3daz, I do gameplay)
I love the hints at the larger plot you get with the Joy content. One critique, so far, beginning choices don't seem to be as crisp as should be. Granted, your choices are only reflected by the starting staff, (I think). Read the boob controversy posts, & agree with both sides. Dev's gonna do what he finds attractive/more lucrative/just cuz it's his/her's shit & you get on board or you find another game. You want input the dev is gonna listen to? make it worth his time on Patreon & don't whine on a free forum where you get free games & expect anyone to see you as other than whining & never take you seriously.
Con's: game has no real replayabilty once you get all the cell phone pics. Best to wait for every OTHER (or more) update to not play the game into the dirt & get bored. Having Amy on the island creates a glut of Random Amy Enconters when you're trying to get other girl's rando's.
Pro's: too many to mention, but ability to assigm Amy to time sensitive jobs so she doesn't glut the random encounter list is OK, the Ivy BJ scene is worth the price of admission. Just too funny. Keep up the good work Darkhound1

Hot storyline, game play keeps me interested. The choice to select body type preferences should be standard in every adult game. 3D model renders are very sexy. IMO only thing missing is big booty models for guys like me who like big asses!

FINALLY a groundbreaking "normal" game for the rest of us! A solid and simple story concept that revolves around gorgeous women with big tits. Thanks Darkhound1 (and team?) for creating one of the best adult games around with stellar design and art and thanks for keeping it free. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

The game is incredible and has beautiful women, the game has good graphics and design, I really like to play and I look forward to the next updates and news!
Congratulations to the creator for a game with an easy, dynamic and great interface, except that the creator is very attentive to all forum members, responding when there are doubts or bug reports.
if it could, it would give more than 1 million stars.

Holiday Island is a well designed, frequent updates, high quality game. Gameplay is actually fun, with a few minigames and spontaneous events that break up monotony. Almost like pokemon with bikini models. The developer is also very responsive to patrons of the game, and designs characters according to fan request.

There are a few bugs, but they are fixed pretty quickly. The poker game isn't super compelling more than a couple of times, but it's not too bad doing it once per character to unlock the poses. The only other disappointing thing is that although there was recently a great addition to the game in the form of a gallery for unlocked images, you can't repeat events on demand after they've been unlocked. All in all a great game, I recommend it highly.

I played the strip poker with the bartender girl but I can't seem move past her removing her tie. That is just a little issue I have with the games, sometime the bugs just make the game feel repetitive to play and a bit troublesome to progress. Would love to see the developer provide more scenes and scenarios such as BDSM, threesome, orgies etc. The game has really good foundation in its gameplay and varieties of girls ( the MC is the only guy in the game) that provided a lot of fun and exploration. The events are random but some scenes can tricky to proc and require certain objects or actions which can be confusing for new players without any guidance. I would love to see more beginner friendly improvements for smoother gameplay to make the game more enjoyable to more people.

Overall, solid 4 stars for good gameplay mechanics, variety of girls and enjoyable events and randomness. Left out 1 star due to lack of interesting plot or scenarios and require quite a lot of grind without using cheats.

German Review:
Also die Frauen haben alle dicke Titten was mir sehr gefällt. Man kann sich eigentlich genug aussuchen vielleicht fehlt noch eine Asiatin wie Hitomi Tanaka zb ist mir aber relativ egal. Wenn es möglich wäre könnte er ja noch ein Walkthrough machen weil ich manchmal festhänge und nicht weiter weiß.
English Review:
All woman have big tits an i like this. We have enough choices on woman except an asian one, like Hitomi Tanaka ^^ but i dont matter. I think an walkthrough would be great because i dont know how to unlock some scenes.

Good quality game with lots to do and lots to see. While it's entirely busty women, there's some variety and lots of new content with each update. There's a lot of potential here, and what is already produced has been very good.

Great game and the developer of the game is very social-able and tries his best to make the game he wants.

It's probably one of the best games out there and it keeps getting better by the month. I would recommended to try it now and if you like it keep up with it.

It's a true gem of a game.

Graphics are awesome and there are a lot of playlines. Also it is possible change gameplay by choose girls to come into the island. If you cannot discover some appointment, you are able to find another way to discover it without get the end of the game. Enjoy!

A really fun game (if you're into harem dating games). I'm relatively new to this kind of game. But what I can say for sure is that is has some nice graphics. Only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars that we could see some more animation nowadays.

The UI looks clunky, the story is near non-existent, the grind is real and sometimes annoying and most of the current ingame events are mirrored over several girls. But boy oh boy: the girls! the images! the animations!

Darkhound has a unique cast of ladies for his game, all handmade, meaning no DMD-Daughters or BB-Moms. Most of them with gigantic breasts and hourglass figures, but individual enough to cater for almost every taste. My favorite (and luckily one of the girls with the most content) is Yvette. If you have a thing for small ladies with wide hips and big tiddies, she will press every single of your buttons, I promise!

Good game, probably somewhat underrated. Could be little less grindy at later stages.
Also graphics is not max res which is unfortunate. Not sure if connecting events to exact outfit is proper decision, plus some events are too well hidden. Gallery need some iprovement - sometimes it doesnt show most "juicy" part of later achivements.
