Ren'Py - Total Degeneracy Island [v0.01a] [SID Gaming]

We need more of this game, it has a lot of potential, this series deserves a good job like what you do and in terms of the gameplay of several routes it could be impressive if done well, it could even serve for several prequels and several possibilities

UNGA BUNGA WOOPNA BO KUNGA

Translation:
"I was really excited to see that someone had finally created something using the Total Drama characters, it has a lot of potential that was rarely used outside of I believe an abandoned game on here and some characters showing up in Camp Pinewood. Either way still glad Total Degeneracy is being worked on.

So how's it play?
Just like any visual novel, it's a linear story based game where it has some branching off here and there but will end up somewhat pre determined. However I think that is just due to this being the initial/ one of the earlier releases as the author has made it apparent they want the story to branch out multiple ways. It uses Ren'Py, which is a plus for me as I feel it works the best with visual novels. There's a day and night system where you can talk to the others, either by exhausting one person's dialogue tree or picking one from a handful before it switches to a new part of the day or by skipping ahead. There's an affinity system with the other campers that you can increase and decrease depending on choices.

Story?
It follows the show mostly, deviates here and there but it looks like it will try to keep that pace as far as people getting kicked off the island but adding extra scenes such as being bribed by Courtney to not vote her off. Rather than only the losing team voting someone off, it seems everyone can or you can ask everyone for their opinion on who they would choose?

Updates?
The Author is working on 3 projects at this time, this one being the most recent, but has slated the next update for Feb 2025. If keeping their pace like this, updates would be regular vs when it gets done. I'm hoping they stay consistent but you never know until it happens I guess. They've also said they're looking at doing some animations for scenes which is great.

Anything specific I like?
Honestly I really like how they replicated the original art style to a tee, as well as making the characters clearly more attractive. And with Courtney's scene where she flashes the player, it even shows she has unique nipples and areolas vs the cookie cutter copy and paste most authors do with multiple female characters. To me that shows they are going through and actually putting in effort for this. Lastly, they were able to understand the character's personalities really well. I legit thought I was watching the show for a moment or two again.

Anything specific I'd add?
Adding a character customization option(s) wouldn't hurt, choosing what gender to play as even. Some more freedom of choices would be nice, specifically during the cliff jump you only get the option to jump naked if on the Killer Bass and or during Courtney's scene if on the Gophers you don't get to go further and only see her bra. More opportunities to increase affinity with the other campers rather than waiting for specific events

Overall I'm really impressed and I'm looking forward to seeing more. I won't hold my expectations too high but so far I haven't seen anything I was getting the "Ick" from."

Played v0.1:

Honestly, a solid beginning for a show that has had a large number of substandard parodies. In this one you play as you, not any of the established characters. Gonna keep a close eye on this one since I can see it being among the best parody games. So for a starting line, I can see this gonna be awesome.

Greatest adaptation of TDI, from design to gameplay(even its only short aon). The direction of the game will be one of the top of its competitors.

Here is my game experience in detail, and support for the developer and artist:
-The writing and scene are followed from the show, but parodied well in this version.
-The character design from the girls are perfectly clean and well made to be animated from the show.
-Transition feels perfectly capture the essence of the show.
-Gameplay wise, current early version only has a puzzle game which is alright for an early release. Hopefully a better version will be made in the further or unlikely, re-release to another engine like unity.
-Story wise it follow the shows elimination pattern, which is acceptable as we are seeing this as a different perspective.


I hope this game will be advertise and supported further, especially the dev team and the artist. WE MUST NOT LOSE THIS ONE, BROTHERMAN!!!!

It does a good job of catching the feel of the series it's parodying. The art work is both good and faithful, and to top it all off it ran without any problems for me. Good job, can't wait to see more.

Game is good so far with a ton of nostalgia and a nice spin on some of the characters

It's pretty buggy though and it needs a lot of fixes, but I look forward to many more updates to come, and my main critique for the plot is the fact that you don't really seem to have much influence on the plot or the story and even despite having not watched the original total drama in years, I can tell he's just following the orginal plot to the letter without adding his own crazy spin on it like most creators on this site tend to do.

Really good start, love the on-model art (except Lindsay's huge boobs... they look out of place imo)

Can't wait to see where this goes once actual sex is added.

Hopefully it is more "free love" than "MC's harem" I want to see owen get some lol

Excellent potential, the graphics of the original series, plus the great story possibilities, I will be watching this game very carefully, I am sure that as long as it is not abandoned it has much to be one of the best parodies/adaptations of drama island.

Total Degeneracy Island [v0.01a] [SID Gaming]
Initial version of the game.
It is currently a nice game, with excellent dialogues that I enjoyed reading.
One of the few games in the initial phase that I will happily follow.
I was missing an elimination game, but I don't know how scripted it will be (if the eliminations will always be the same or if our presence and our vote can actually change something).
As a lover of the original series, I can only recommend it to everyone.

Had good time playing the first upload ( v0.01a at the time of writing) good cg. artstyle is faitful to the original and if this game will have animations it's gona be 5/5 for me. I wish luck to the dev, really exited about the future of this game

Current review version : v0.01a
Visual : 10/10 amazing that's it.
Story : 10/10 you won't get bored and you want to proceed.
MC : 10/10 the MC part is the best part because it's fit very well to TD theme.
Characters : 10/10 characters have there own unique personality.
Gameplay : 10/8 the only problem is in second freeroam there is not enough content sure you get some details from characters but in that 4 days, apart Courtney's quest you wont see anything special.
overall it's a good game.
cant wait till next update.
great job dev.

So this is my first comment, first rating, first on all fronts... I just wanna say, you got the writing down pat', like I could hear each character verbally say the lines you've given them, sure a lot of it is from the show but even with that in mind the new lines fits their characteristics and mannerism perfectly. 10/10

From what i could see, it could definitely be worse, yet it isn't.

The art seems faithful to the original show. and the story is decent.
If ya need a fun game, it's this one i'd recommend, at least of the new ones.
