Unity - IslanDeity [v0.49a] [Forlorn Faun]

Over 2 years on and the game went from an awful buggy mess to a revamped awful buggy mess. I has to switch resolutions and go between windowed and full screen multiple times in the same scene in order to progress it. This level of laziness is utterly unacceptable, and I cannot discourage anyone from playing this game enough.

most buggy shit i ever played this bug are not like engine bug or anything u just get stuck after talking someone or clicking basic things and you cant even load or go to main menu u have to close the whole game and re open this could be most annoying game to play and animations are bad

unplayable bad combat.
getting hit by anything makes your character retarded for 4 seconds
and every other enemy has a cc
i know adult games dont shine on combat but holy shit man this was rough
especially since you cannot progress the game without it

Very good game.

The art is really really great, both NSFW and in general. This might even be the best-looking 3D H-Game I've played so far.

The gameplay is good, mostly just talking to people, but the forest exploration minigame is fun as well.

The writing is also solid. The main girl (somehow I've already forgotten her name) is somewhat annoying, but the game doesn't force you to interact with her too much after the sort-of-tutorial. The story is actually engaging, and well-integrated with the NSFW (as compared to being an obstacle to it).

I have mixed feelings on the NSFW.
On one hand, it looks great. There are some clipping issues here and there, but not a big problem. The proportions are excellent, and even the writing during them is good too.
However, the controls, especially for the camera, during the NSFW is VERY clunky. It's a little unintuitive, and sometimes either gets stuck, or just completely doesn't work.

Which leads me to the next point: there are definitely LOTS of issues. Perhaps not "bugs", per se, but issues. The biggest one being a couple of dialogue options would completely break my game, and the Deity's shop was completely broken.


Regardless, this is one I keep coming back to every few updates. It's really good, and I look forward to seeing more development.

The game has a lot of premise, I like what it promises and I really hope the best for it, I do have to say though it is important the dev gets the soft locks taken care of, it's not good for his image and the game's reputation to have soft locks so early into the game. The graphics are great and I really like how the eyes look in the characters, but the game needs optimization, for these reasons I can't really give it more than 3 stars at the current state.

v0.411a

Excellent graphics and models
Very poor optimization
Good music and sounds
Good plot and story idea
Horrible, buggy mess - many bugs are very basic, e.g. stuck with no action possible, etc.

Some bugs are perfectly fine with indie games.
But here, you encounter them constantly, left and right - and many are very easily encountered (no rare edge cases) and block progression.

With that, I cannot give more than 2 stars.
Without the bugs I'd give 4 or 5.

This dev either needs a partner for the programming, or they need to educate themselves on programming basics like patterns and anti-patterns and principles of robust coding.

It's a 1 star game with 5 star art direction. It's hard giving it 2 stars, but it's not "average." Even average games work properly.

Look, with this soon approaching nearly 3 years of development, there is absolutely no excuse anymore for this to be this much of a bug infested mess with little to no content. It's like the dev is learning how to code on the fly as he goes, and expects people to pay for his lessons. This would be completely fine and reasonable if the iterations and updates were only about improvement, and not about getting the base functionality of the game itself to work.

Underneath the clunky UI and biblical level of bugs, there's a beautifully 3D rendered charming game with great art hiding deep under the crust, and it really sucks giving this a lower score because it's probably the single most unique game on this site. But the bugs are seriously THAT bad. Not funny bad. Gamebreaking bad. Walter would be pissed trying to play this game. I am NOT expecting perfection here, and I can see the massive improvement (in art/renders/animations) from 2022, but dude... this just isn't ready to be released to the public even as a demo. Nothing fucking works properly and it's too barebones in content for 3yrs of development even if it did. Either fix your spaghetti code, or find someone who can.

I feel like you'd have so many more subscribers if people were able to have even some semblance of trust in the stability of your game, but as it stands, it's just not there yet. And quite frankly, it feels like that's holding your game back considerably from what otherwise should be meaningful content updates. I've been following this game from inception and this is one of the games I've wanted to succeed the most due to how original it is. It's just a damn shame more than anything else as it's a very high potential game marred by piss poor priorities. I hope the dev sorts out his workflow eventually.

Test carried out on 0.385a. After 2 years of development, it's just unthinkable that a game could be so buggy. From the first minute of the game we encounter problems, the game lags to death. As soon as we manage to finish the first quest, if we have the misfortune to enter the laboratory we are blocked (no action to go to another room).
As soon as we enter the city for the first time, the saleswoman gets stuck and says nothing (no action possible). I didn't go any further after all that, if there are any other bugs I wouldn't be able to give them, I completely gave up.

It's in a pretty early stage, but this really has potential. I haven't really encountered too many bugs besides clipping which is whatever. The art is amazing and definitely the highlight of this game, making it stand out from other 3d games.

It is such a promising game, and I recommend people to try it out, can't wait for new updates!

just played today for first time. and honestly speaking, this game should really be rated 1/5 stars, as, at the moment, it's more a short tech demo/proof of concept.
am rating it 3/5, simply because i am interested to see where this goes, and don't necessarily want to discourage people from bookmarking, & discussing it.

this game features an opening, and 2 story "missions", so it's really, really small for now, and fully linear, up to the sandbox playground at the end, which gives you a sex simulator/trainer, & basic work-in-progress gameplay, which I will elaborate further below.

so, the game is fully 3D rendered. but.
the approach to story & scenes(except for simulated sex & groping/trainer stuff) is done similar to a VN, with static character poses, fixed scene camera, & dialogue text, but, with simulated environmental physics, 3D rendering effects, etc, working in the background.

navigation looks like it will work similar to sandbox VN's, with a travel map, of sorts, you can click different destinations(2 so far), and finally, it looks like they've opted to use top-down, twin-stick shooter/hacker(you punch stuff) style, pixel-art dungeons/levels for the action gameplay/missions.

the playground lets you interact with a selection of (randomly generated?) girls in the twin-stick shooter map. interaction being punching(allowing you to KO them), or prompting, which renders them & opens a menu, allowing you to say a limited selection of things(i mean no harm, what makes you think you can fight me?), recruit(if not KO'd), gift(??), or strip, and/or capture, if they are KO'd.
in this map, they are just standing there, so don't expect gameplay in that part.
from there, you can assault & corrupt the girls in trainer style interactive groping/sex simulator, dungeon play, which builds up devotion, & eventually mind-breaks them.
you can also toggle their clothes on/off, and make some mild customizations to their appearance(hair, makeup, piercings, markings, etc).

and finally, a run-down on what the game is(although, the gameplay kind of explains it), for people like me who want to know what they're getting into beforehand, and find game descriptions confusing.

you are the sole-survivor of a plane crash on an island with an isolated human-like(there are a few fantasy races) people, all women, who fear/mysticise/don't trust men.
you get bound to a naughty goddess, seeking corporeality & complete control of the island,
and to do so, you need to capture, corrupt, copulate, convert & dominate the islands inhabitants, building up her power, & increasing her progeny(presumably). and, eventually, allowing her the strength to be born into a new living vessel. she is competing with her 2 sisters, who presumably, are the reason for the lack of men, & their mythological/demonized status.

from the little I have seen, the women wear a pseudo-barbarian/fetish wear(fishnets, bra's, hose, etc.), with medieval architecture, such as large, arched white-washed walls, bridges, & buildings(gothic-barbarian/roman inspired).
so, settings a tropical/tribal island setting.

edit: forgot to add.
I personally didn't suffer any performance problems, physics bugs, etc. my computers not great. it has fairly poor performance on xbone/ps4 gen games,
and other 3D indie sex games, such as carnal instinct, wildlife, etc.

the lack of manual save, etc. IS a problem, & annoying. i also found it annoying that when i first opened it, it was in windowed, while also not fitting my screen & until i got through the tutorial, pressing the menu button(ESC) wouldn't let me access anything until AFTER i got through the opening(it just froze/paused the game).

and finally, there was 1 game-breaking bug. when interacting with a recruited girl, all HUD was removed, disabling me from accessing the rest of the game. haven't re-opened, but i presume a quit to menu,re-load would fix.

This is not ready for the public.

1.) extremely poo performance, my pc is bad but the graphic ro what this game does in general does in no way justify it not running smoothly

2.) unintuitive mechanics

3.) only autosave

4.)graphic bugs like body parts and hair moving erratically or clipping in and out.

5.) dumb UI choices (I have a map but this accesses only two areas and the third I access via a compass for no reason at all?)

6.) very bad Qol, I can only transfer most areas via map even though they are next to each other

There is also one big fundamental issue, the girl models are very similar and the sex scenes are the same so you have basically already seen everything once you got the first girl

Sure, this game has had some buggy demos (already to be expected on most any indie demo), but you cannot deny the potential or the quality. Artist is active on discord and provides fairly regular updates compared to other indie games.

Great art, good gameplay and lots of room to improve, only thing that could fuck this up is dev starting to upload at a snails pace... Fingers crossed it shouldn't happen. Strongly recommend you check this game out.

This game is amazing , I remember playing this a year or so ago and the amount of improvement since then has been super impressive (especially the animations). The subtle shifts in the animations is a nice touch. The game has a unique style in its choices of presentation, colors, fonts, story narration. It feels vibrant with a personality of its own which is nice compared to some of the lifeless and bare bones WIP games out there that rely too heavily on bought assets. The goddess ritual was such a creative idea. The top down exploration mode has real promise too although it doesn't seem there is much to do with it at the moment.

Some things to note:

• The game has some bugs, some are quite critical and can impede progress. I didnt even know I could have more subjects other than Merril until I learned there was a bug preventing game progress. (There are probably more of these)
  
  
• The game really needs more fluids. I'm talking man fluids, lady fluids all the fluids. We got a tiny bit with Merril's dome but more would be awesome.
• Player customization would be nice
• Carressing takes ages. It would be great if there were more varied approaches to gain a subject's trust. Maybe a few less aggressive and kinder approaches for those who don't want to be cruel to their captive subjects.
• A little more variation in subjects appearances, face shape, size, age etc
• Things to do apart from the dungeon

They are all nice to have, but regardless its a nice game and you should feel proud dev! You are talented!

A rare true sandbox adult game that is being put together in a solid manner at a fast pace. The potential is obvious and exciting. It improves at a rapid pace while the fundamentals and mechanics are interesting.

Stable build... Is this a joke? The game crashes before you can even finish the tutorial so you can't get to a save point, if you ever wanted to play a tutorial on repeat this is the game for you.

WOW
The dev has 0 skills at coding...

Everything is broken at this "stable" version 0.22

Here is my experience.

I start the game the fans go at 100% as usual with this garbage of a game, it was happening on previous versions too so nothing new here.

I press continue only to find all my slaves were unusable couldn't do shit not even remove them and boom one abomination (i think supposed to be my missing slave) was siting on my bed and i don't know what to describe it… Imagine a weird customization from dark souls but with a mouth bigger than... everything ... the lips were touching the floor among other things...

So i said nope, new game it is!

Ah, new game the introduction got removed so u jump in not knowing what to do.
I tried to capture new ppl and i saw i could talk to one, so i did!

Oh boy, the bugs...

Talking got me stuck with no hud after exhausting all the dialog...
RESTART
Trying to see what gift does... NO HUD!
RESTART
Tried to recruit! NO F****G HUD!
RESTART
Tried to maximize the bar with the dialog after many RESTARTS and then pressed recruit AGAIN, NO F****G HUD!
RESTART
What was the point of having her there, i cant do shit to her and the game breaks unless i leave!

I captured some girls and tried the sex scenes he kinda improved but again u can break them and the girls go in to u more than you're in to them....
Tried feeding them only to have raw meat flying around like an apple (but black) and when they ate it, it just stays on the air....

After that i tried to use cheats to add money and wow he did a good job with anti-cheat LOL
that's the most important thing on this devs mind! i think he will add Patreon cheats later on that's why... either way dick move

After that, i just gave up with this mess of a game

Game version: 0.22a

You are thrown into the game without any introduction what to do, how to do anything or anything else.
I did a classic trial&error approach and while I now know that I can capture confused women, I guess I will have to make them submit to the MC somehow.
So far, so bad. That's pretty much it for now.
While I can accept a developer that clearly says "the game is still in alpha", I expect at LEAST a quick guide on how to play his game.
As long as it isn't there, this game will be trash for me.

It's not unplayable but lots of issues. One issue is when I go into the fruit tree area. The WASD control is not working. Can't back out of the area and stuck there. Another issue is when talking to someone where their, i assume, is no dialogue left. You are stuck there. Can't get out of the talking scene. I can sometimes get it to play when I restart the game. Going to desktop and loading back in.

Graphics look cool, the story is pretty good, but that's about it.
There is no gameplay loop, no actual gameplay - only minigames. The fact that the story is entirely linear and you HAVE TO progress the story to do anything at all makes it more like a visual novel than a game.
