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."
