Unity - Mad Island [v0.27 Beta] [E-made+]

v0.12 Beta review

A mix and match of alot of elements I enjoy in a normal game that I never thought would work well in a top down survival ala Dont Starve, such as management, base building, NPC recruitment and boss battle. If you are reading this just to know if the animations are good, then yea, it is

With that being said, and with the context that this game is obviously still heavily unfinished, I'm going to try and limit my critique.

First thing first, I think the game made surviving too easy. You get a free fire source at the beginning which allows you to make grilled meat by just wacking a slow moving animal like a pig a couple of time. And if you grind exp for awhile by killing natives, you won't have to wack animals slowly and can successfully one shot any food source that come your way (bonus point if you do it right behind their neck because they won't run away no matter how close you are).

Native's threat are eh, you can just skip health upgrade and focus on strength because avoiding their attacks are pretty easy. Just heavy attack them after they do their attack animation and repeat forever. These natives also became very boring after you fought a thousands of them easily. The only time they become an actual threat is when a dozen of them focus their attention at you and you'd get sandwiched in between a ton of hitboxes at the same time (since melee is your best option here). This can be easily avoided if you have a "survivor status NPC" take their attention while you wack the natives from behind. I think it's a big miss not making the pseudo boss ie big foot and werewolves as a reoccuring enemy as they would make the threat more interesting and challenging

Speaking of NPC status, really? a free no damage taken buff on the get go? atleast make me earn it by increasing a certain stat or something. I get not wanting people to complain about their NPCs dying constantly but I'd like it more if there's an incentive to actually defend the base instead of just putting them into survivor status permanently and stop worrying about them forever

The decision to combine male and female protag's inventory but not their stat (health, strenght, speed) is also a weird one. I know early on I said that grinding exp is easy, but that is if you focus on one protag. If you start going around killing high exp targets, the other protag won't have the same opportunity to increase their level. Maybe this is intentional so that people who main male protag can see female protag lose more? Not sure. But I can see it as that

There's alot more I could say but my brain is too smooth to put it into words, so I'll stop here. Thanks for reading

i really like the game, i hope upload to us latest version as soon as you can.

you can make a lot of thinks, this is really good simulator of life.

if i can to buy now the game, i would like to have in my collection of games.

have about 50 hrs on the steam version, probably because i'm autistic.

The games main content is essentially an oped-world with interest points spread throughout which includes events / bosses / camps and mines and in the current version there is no plot nor ending, and the most northern part of the map is missing, if you don't care about following stuff, then all these activities and exploration will take you about 5 hours.
Game's side-content is rogue-like dungeon, native's raids and building and customizing your harem.
All the "controversial" content is at player's discretion: if you don't want to rape, mutilate bodies and cook tit-burgers - then you don't have to, and there is very little of this stuff in the game by default.

My biggest gripes are probably:
1) god-awful camera with a lot of solid no see-through objects and inability to interact with things that are behind something
2) poorly designed UI, but that's an indie hentai game so that's to be expected
3) and finally - lackluster character / companion customization: too many restrictions on weapons / attire, very few animations (mostly 2 per character type) and no interactivity / dialogue besides cut-scenes.

In conclusion - giantess waifu be bussin' on god no cap fr.

This game is rad. There’s a lot of different niches that will tickle many people’s fancy. I just wish it was further in development so I didn’t have to wait for more things in this amazing game. One thing I do hope is implemented is the ability to change the male MC more. Like body type and dick size. Hopefully it’ll be something added later. All in all if you like those tags give this game a try. While the learning curve is difficult once you get the hang of it you’ll be having lots of fun.

The forest meets the sims / minecraft with porn and rpg mechanics lol.

in all seriousness for a small indie dev team this game fucks HARD!!!! it really is a diamond in the rought. Sadly they had a steam workshop but it got quickly taken down as loli content is a taboo on most sites (even porn sites).

but it's seperate in the DLC on the dev's webpage. Still being worked on btw so i'd wait a bit for the full game and not get too attached to whatever version you're playing on now.

it does have guro (optional) and some beastiality but not alot. It is a little buggy since 2D especially around mountain / elevation and near the beach / on the water/sea.

8.8/10
honestly great but has technical issues due to how the game was made on unity and in 2D
can go higher since still being worked on and if they bring back modding tools or workshop on steam i'd inc. the rating more.

All I have to say is:
That when you stare into the abyss (of tags),
the abyss (of kinks) stares back at you.

This dev is doing their best to present to you a scenario where our most infamous fetishes as humans come together in one cesspool of an island.

It's great and in beta so its far from perfect but I'm looking forward to where this goes.

MY SHORT REVIEW:
It's good game, ofc it isn't finish but hope it's update more and more, this game has many potential ^^
this game has many bug, but right now I see is get this lessly, mainly is good enough hahaha. For someone who is like vanila, I don't recommend this game, but if you like the game very wild and real, this game is pretty good, especially for "Don't starve together" fan, this game is base same gamepla
it should 4,45/5 but yeah I will just give 5 star xD

A lot of gore, a lot of violence, a lot of good animated H stuff. Not so much content for a female MC compared to an male MC and yet it is done very good. Someone was playing Don't Starve and thought: "Hey, what if everything was rape-able?"
Translation needs an improvement tho

Been playing the game since it's on closed beta on Ci-en. I can't say much about the sexual elements but it's a great game all by itself. Spent a bit over 100 hours now.
In short, it's a 2D Palworld type game but instead of pals you get to fight and capture aboriginals. The freedom you get from the game is pretty unlimited, with quite a big island for you to explore that contains unique enemies and animals. Combat can be hard but as for now there's no penalty for losing. 10/10 game and the devs are planning to make mods available on steam. Can't say there's a better money for the value game out there now.

pretty much the best survival game on the site, a lot of content, many different npcs to add to your settlement, an interesting romancing system where you basically need to spend time with your prisoner/villagers to get them to have intercourse with you. game has a lot, like ALOT of different things you can craft and customize, and after the first few hours when survival in terms of food, water and shelter is abundant, you can really start exploring the huge and diverse map, alot of different enemies with different powers can be found, with the main and side quests guiding you from place to place, i really think this is the best game, cant wait for further updates, you should also consider downloading the dlc from emade+ site, it introduces a bunch of different characters and items, the only criticism is that characters outside of sex don't really speak or do any other intimate activities like kissing outside of when you ask for sex, and a few more sex positions for the basic npcs would be great

Taking ques from Little Life and improving on everything that they've learned from their previous projects, Mad Island is a MASTERPIECE.

E-made+ has created the penultimate Eastern Base-building Survival Sim. A game that raises the bar for all other Base-building Survival Sims, and that's why the final verdict for Mad Island is a full highest rating that I can issue a 5/5 stars and it easily earns the BADASS Seal of Approval.

I can not wait to see all the DLC and expansions coming, now if you excuse me I have to play through it again as evil, doing all the side missions and playing with the joke option on which I neglected the first time around.

QUICK SUMMARY!

To evaluate the game I will take into account that it is in early development and that there are no missions yet but the intention is to put them up.

The game is fun and invites you to explore beyond the sexual, it is raw, violent and explicit. It adds points to being able to remove censorship (touching the game files tho).
There are many enemies but there is sexual interaction with very few of them, it is strange to be able to interact with a werewolf but not with a wolf or the fact that the elderly are the worst but they do not interact sexually at any time despite having that option in the settings.
The gameplay seems to be more around the male character than the main one they give us(the girl), which took me a long time to discover (2 hours trying to get more than 2 animations with the female character)

Final score: 75/100

Mad Island has all the foundations for an all-time classic of adult gaming. Taking a Don't Starve survival game as its basis, it adds extremely hardcore adult content on top, and manages to effectively integrate it into the gameplay.

Stranded on an island occupied by hostile tribes (along with mad scientists, sadistic treasure hunters, and a tomb of undead), you take control of two protagonists trying to reunite with their missing friends and escape. It doesn't take long for them to go fully native (outside of a gimmick playthrough, I guess), killing and raping along with the hardened killers inhabiting the island.

Narratively, there isn't much written for you, with only a handful of short cutscenes interspersed throughout the game. That said, the gameplay is the story; night-time raids on enemy tribes to capture slaves and resources, the gradual build-up of your village, and exploration of bizarre new locations in the mad lands you're stranded in. If you're a fan of Kenshi, you'll have a good sense of what to expect on this front; the sandbox the game provides gives you plenty of room to construct your own story.

I never felt constrained in terms of gameplay, but the "official" dev-written narrative does seem a bit bizarre depending on when certain events kick off, given what you're getting up to. When dealing with your companions, you'd think their reunion came before you started going all-in on atrocities (which is likely not the case for most people's first playthrough), but outside of it seeming a little odd, it's not too distracting. This content represents a tiny fraction of the experience. That said, if you're hoping for the story to "feel" right, head east after setting up a basic camp and gathering some resources, and look for a bridge along the river; cross it, encounter your first signs of the depraved effects of the island on castaways at a yellow tent, and head north to discover your friends. After your reunion, head back to the beach and head north to face off against the Boss Tribesman. After seeing what he's up to, it seems a lot more plausible that the protagonists would "Do as the Romans" on the isle.

The limitations, as they stand now, are mostly the result of limited art assets; while there's already a decent variety of clothes, village items, and so on, I hope we'll see even more to give our tribes and individual villagers more distinct flavors. A bigger issue is that not everything has H-animations yet; the female protagonist's limited to a single suitor, the specialty natives are all celibate or only available to the male protagonist, and some major fetishes (bestiality chief among them) aren't represented outside of extremely limited contexts.

If I had one major complaint, the AI isn't great; everything gets stuck on terrain with alarming regularity, characters will try to occupy identical waypoints with alarming regularity, and your villagers love to stand in front of you whenever you're up to anything raunchy. It's not deal-breaking, but I hope improvements will be made.

In terms of minor complaints, there is way too much finicking around with the UI that distract from gameplay. You want to take a trophy from your kill? Get ready to swap to your knife, navigate to the menu, exit the menu, swap to your axe, navigate to the same menu, exit the menu, and swap back to your weapon, all through an annoying drag and drop interface. Good luck remembering which of the dozens of chests contains what, something particularly obnoxious when you realize that clothing, weapons, and other items don't stack.

For those of you who don't have as much time to play H-games as you'd hope, I highly recommend the cheats. Some of the options can preserve the gameplay progression while eliminating the grind, facilitate base-building without worrying about finding where you put the iron bars, and so on.

All in all, I've deeply enjoyed my time with Mad Island, and can't wait to see it develop further.

EDIT: After a few restarts, I discovered a better "narrative start" option than what I had listed before, and adjusted it accordingly.

Time for a review of Mad Island by E-made+

A quick foreword: I played the v0.05 version for about 3.5 hours. Admittedly this is very early in the development of the game, so it will probably get better. However, at this point I cannot rate it more than an average experience.

This review is separated into:

• Game play
• Controls
• Character / activities
• Porn
• Summary

Story

I prefer a good story in the games I play. The story is not always in focus, and that is fine if the game has strong elements in game play, mechanics and porn. Mad Island should not be played for its story. There is basically no story and you can’t really talk with anybody.

Game play

The core game play of Mad Island is exploration followed by survival. There is also quite some area to explore, as the map is quite large. This is sometimes a good thing because it allows you to experience different stuff on the island. That is, if there is different stuff to experience.

That is not currently the case for Mad Island. Different environments exist; forests, pine forests, swamp and desert. But they *feel* similar. The MC didn’t become thirstier in the desert, and the enemies behaved the same as everywhere else. Essentially, the different areas didn’t convey a different theme or feeling.

The survival aspect of the game is not well developed yet and you’d be forgiven if you missed it completely. The MC don’t need any sleep which means that sleeping is only used for healing. You do need to craft stuff like a stone axe, but it is kept fairly minimal. You can build stuff like walls, but it wasn’t all that well implemented with it clipping through the ground. More importantly, there is no point in crafting a base.

The leveling system is also too slow. The system is split into skill points and level up points. Level up points are used to develop either strength, health or speed. My recommendation is to only put 2-3 points in speed, you don’t need more. Put the majority in strength and maybe enough in health to reach 50 or 60 hp. For skill points you need 5 points to buy one 1 skill, which then raises the cost of said skill. This makes it very slow to progress in skill points.

You can take different actions, like raiding the tribal camps for resources, but it doesn’t really carry any repercussions. I often snuck into their tents, killed the sleeping tribal people or just stole the food. I was also discovered doing this, but it never really led to them really going after me, which it should.

Controls

The controls are convoluted. The game doesn’t tell you what to do or how to do it. For example; there are abilities called ‘grapple’ and ‘heavy strike’, what are they used for? No idea. How to use them? No idea.

Character / activities

Unfortunately, the game is quite empty in terms of activities. There are some areas with missions/quests, but they are far between. I would also have loved to get some agency in them. Just because I talk with somebody doesn’t mean I want to do a scripted mission. Alternatively, I’d like to not fight them.

Other than that you basically run around and explore, but this grows fairly old as most of the island quickly feels samey.

Porn

The porn part of the game is unfortunately quite underdeveloped and boring. The only way to get sex is if you lose. At that point you’ll be raped and then discarded. Afterwards you simply stand up and move about like nothing happened. I like that it isn’t a game over, but it would be fun if there were more to it. Like being captured in a raid: now you’re held captive, and you must either try to escape or accept your new life as the fucktoy of the tribe. Maybe the chieftain’s son is disabled and none of the tribal women wants him, now you’re given to him etc. Or perhaps you manage to turn your situation around and become a functioning member of the tribe. Perhaps this will be added in time.

It's also only a few monsters - primarily bosses, that have porn content. All other monsters will simply kill you and nothing else. I like that every single piece of wild life will fuck you - a wolf should hunt you, not mate with you. But certain should have stuff going with them; like the worm-like parasites at the swamp or the monstrous degenerate people of hellish underground.

All in all, I wouldn’t recommend playing this game for the porn content.

For quick reading:
The Good

• Decently looking MC
• Can create fast-travel points
• Graphics are pretty

The In-between

• Half-baked crafting system. No real point in crafting beyond the very basic axe/pickaxe and leaf bed.
• The events you can find is a bit too scripted. Would’ve been nice with a choice.
• There is a detailed skill system. It would be nice if they showed more about her personality and tenacity than them only being pure survival skills or create a skill tree for that too.

The Bad

• No real progression
• No point in base building
• No way to either submit to or build relations with people
• Kinda feels like a missed opportunity to not create sexual encounters with the more ordinary monsters.

The Don't Starve sequel we deserve.

It's fun going around raping anime girls, enslaving their relatives and crafting lampshades out of their skin. Aka your average japanese game experience. Or you can have female character moment if you like getting raped by everyone instead.

But mechanically the game is quite mid and nothing special, not much challenge if you're into that kind of thing, braindead bosses, poor combat and passable base building, bare bones story. However it's a porn game with actual gameplay and good bit of content and progression and with two customizable protags. Game with good potential and will be enough for 15-30 hours in it's current state.

Meanwhile you can just roleplay your weeb version of Cannibal Holocaust or play it as a harem game where all your slaves are anime girls who just dance lewdly and scissor each other in between you fucking their brains out before you get bored with the game.

I recommend leveling up harvest perk and setting up a resource gathering slave base asap as it would reduce the grinding of basic materials.

I LIKE OPEN WORLD AND ALSO OPEN WORLD WITH SEX??!! WHATTT!!!

But for real though i like this game so much i dont regret it buying this on steam on my main account and yeah the story is not yet finish have cheat codes which is good consider i like to play with easy mode first its like playing minecraft for the first time and you hope on creative mode for the experients first then the survival and yeah this game has alot to it likecan have kids kidnapping, and Mermaid??!! AYYOOOO this game has it all for me not giving it belove 5 rating thanks Ubisoft for making such a Great game

Definity top 3 best games I've played on this website. Although the game is in early access so there's a lot of things not in the game yet, despite this there's still alot of content and a good gameplay loop for a game so early in development. It's basically your typical survival sim (And is as grindy as one) but with some porn every here and there. Like i said the game is in early access so there's a lot of things missing, (like Story NPCs cant wield weapons or get pregnant, you can completely ignore hunger and water and won't die from it.) There IS some extreme content but it's COMPLETLY optional and not mandatory to enjoy the game. All in all this game is VERY Promising and i will be buying it once it's in a more stable state.

The games basically dont starve with almost every possible fetish you can think of and it would probably play very vell if the devs made a co-op version of it.
The are several bugs and the games not finished yet, that doesnt mean you wont have fun with it and the playtime without cheating is quite long.
You can play as a dude and rape the female natives (r) or role play as a girl and get raped on lose. Pregnancy mechanic currently only seems to work with the dude and you can make your own child army or tame yourself some pets...

tl;dr: Solid dont starve clone, not gonna lie

(Time of Review: v0.5) The most promising game that I've seen in such a long time. It has everything that you could possibly ask for AND it also has game play.

There is probably more than 20 hours of stuff to do and the base building element is quite fun. One critique that I have is that you HAVE to read a guide before you begin because the game tells you nothing. So much content but no dialogue or hints.

Pretty much a messed up version of Don't Starve, pretty enjoyable overall but I believe it has the potential to improve the relationships with NPCs since that can be clanky at times.

Will check it out in a few months again to see how it improves.
