Ren'Py - Total Degeneracy Island [v0.06x] [SID Gaming]

[v0.06x]

Gameplay:
⠀⠀⠀At the start of the game you can choose a team to play for. This decision will change POV during challenges and it's also easier to grow affection for your team members. It doesn't mean that you can't pursue girls from the opposing team, it will just require more effort AND you will be locked out of team exclusive lewd scenes. Game's narrative is sectioned into weeks. Each week follows the same pattern: 2 days prep for a challenge, the challenge day and then 4 days before the next character is kicked off the cast. Challenge day is a visual novel section with impactful choices that will determine your relationships with certain characters and a skippable minigame (which you can fail on purpose). All other days is a point&click free-roam in which you talk to characters and engage in their personal mini-plotlines where you also get to make choices. But those are few and far in between and you're mostly going to be yapping with them or inviting them to a hot tub (girls only) both for affection points. There are 4 times of day (morning, noon, evening, night) and each character follows a set schedule, which you will have to memorize or play hide-and-seek because the game doesn't tell you where they are. At the end of the week one character gets yeeted out of the game, and it will always be the same one, unless one of the two candidates for elimination is you, in which case you will need good relations with at least half of your team members (pretty easy to accomplish). You get put up for a vote if you either fail at the minigame or make certain decisions during challenges. If you're voted it's gameover. You can ask characters who are they going to vote for but it's pretty pointless, because it's scripted and you can't influence their opinion unless you're one of the candidates. And this is one of the weakest parts of the game, because it makes it seem like you have a sway in this decision when you in fact do not. For example when it come to voting off either Katie or Sadie, the game gives you a clear choice and that girl of your choice gives you a BJ. So I chose Katie because I'm not a chubby chaser. And when I asked every other participant who are they going to kick out, all answered something along the lines of: "I don't know, they are basically the same". But the game will always kick out Katie, because apparently that's what happened in the show. So fucking lame. Also not much to do during free-roam, yapping becomes boring and repetitive super fast. Mini-games are in fact pretty decent, better than your average amateur porn mini-games, but still not great.
⠀⠀⠀There are also UI issues: you can only load a save from the main menu, can open quick menu with ESC or RMB but same buttons don't close it, character BIO pages could use some refinement, it would be nice for clickable objects to be highlighted without having to hover over them, it would also be nice to have character schedules and indicators of active events on the map.

Writing:
⠀⠀⠀There is zero romance or intimacy for those who care about that. No original plot or characters either, it's all 1to1 copy or the cartoon. I mean staying true to the source is nice, but it's kinda boring. The main focus of writing is comedy and I'm on the fence here: some jokes are funny but most are mediocre.
⠀⠀⠀Characters are all supposedly 18-19, but they act (with few exceptions) like they've "been around the block" and are omega sexually experienced, which is yuck. If they were in their twenties or smth, this would be fine, but the author just HAD to specify that they're all 18.

Erotic content:
⠀⠀⠀No much to talk about really, it's mostly just simple nudity, and a couple of sex scenes that we do have are pretty mid. They're short and animations are just okay. No real intimacy or consequences, which is really disappointing. Also considering that each update the female pool gets smaller, the overall variety actually DECREASES the more you play.

Conclusion: so this is not a dating sim, because you don't get to choose who to be with. Not a harem, because all women will eventually get eliminated. Not a story focused VN, because there is no story and all characters are caricatures with zero nuance. Not a good game because because 80% of it is boring yapping. Not good porn, because there is barely any. Honestly, I don't know what the fuck this is and who it is for, except maybe for die-hard original cartoon fans to get their shot of nostalgia. Yes, the art is indeed good, and the game is being fairly competent in most of it's aspects, but in my experience it was a total letdown.

Growing up, I was a huge fan of the Total Drama series—Island, Action, World Tour, and beyond.

This game does a great job of pulling in those characters' personalities and delivering a fun experience.

There are some areas of improvement, or at least parts that need filling.

In short, there isn't much H-content at the moment, but I am sure that will continue to increase the further you go into the story.

The dialogue in free roam drastically needs additional lines from the characters. This is an easy addition to make and would serve as a way to feel more immersed in the atmosphere.

For instance (I will elaborate in thread instead).

The story follows the show, which is fine. The developer also includes fun mini-games associated with each challenge. The only thing I wish is that the game deviated a bit on who gets eliminated. Through my two playthroughs, it follows the show exactly, which sucks because it makes it feel like I have no real impact on the show's results.

Overall, this game has a lot of potential, and I wish the developer good luck with its future development.

a nice snacky piece of pornographic fun.

this is the exact right kind of game to idly play/fap on a weekend.

what id like to call special attention to is the pacing. the porn scenes are spaced far enough apart where if im not hard i can play the game without feeling the need to skip but also close enough together where if i am hard and want to jerk off then it keeps up momentum. the scenes themselves go on juuuuust long enough for the 'gimmick' of the scene to come out be hot and then its done. thats a bit of a double edged sword because if its a real hot idea then you dont get to see much but if its boring you dont need to see much.


there are also minigames which yknow always nice when my porn game has gameplay (There is a skip button if thats not your jam)

Honestly, the game has good art style and flow. It has humor and it's wholesome.


Only problem is that there is no possible way that we can turn it into a harem route.

Players crave to get all the CG in 1 run and see how it impacts the story by having more than 1 girl.

If the game's flow keep going this way.. Players will start to get annoyed repeatedly going back from scenes to scenes as if it's like a work instead of an actual game.

This game does have some areas that need major updating in. The art design is good, but the gameplay is lacking in a lot of areas. Standing around, and talking to participants is very dull. The challenges are extremely remedial, and the need for more female domination is real. There's too much story, and not enough sexual content. Kind of a let down game, but it could be improved. Not to mention the system doesn't make much sense of building relationships, and casting non existent votes.

One aspect of the game I like is that some females seduce you into swinging votes. This should be applied more frequently.

meh.

so im gonna start off the rip, and say i absolutely love the art style. MY KINDA THING.
and the concept of the game, its cool asf. a gameshow, almost like Love Island.. i dig it, its different..

animated scenes too!

varied characters.


however for me, its just boring to play. theres no repeatable scenes. "hey lets fuck again, suck me again" etc. its boring. i wanna be able to revisit scenes through gameplay, aka not a gallery. just by reapproaching the person, providing they've not been voted out.

if this game had replayable sex scenes done correctly through gameplay *just through asking* then shit, this would be a four star for me..

but with the endless clicking until the next mini game, or vote.. and mindless clicking to gain favour from someone. its boring. now if you added being able to ask for sex, ie, handjob, blowjob, assjob, fingering, eating pussy and ass, vaginal, anal etc. and i can do that as much as i want, providing the score for the person is high enough. THIS WOULD BE A GAME ID FUCK WITH.

but with no repeatable scenes, hardly anything to do outside of the scripted votes and mini games. its boring. i prefer sandbox games. but this game has an empty boring sandbox world with nothing to do, but click on different locations and have the same chats with people.

its boring. repeatable sex is needed imo. it would atleast add some functionality and purpose to being able to roam, and to farm relationship points.

it has the potential of being awesome. but it lacks the QOL stuff mentioned above that truly makes sandbox game.

Just very very good game overall. Great graphics, smooth gameplay. Great dev work and totally underrated. Might be one of the best parody games out there. Hope the updates keep coming in, so much potential !

Pretty good game has some potential to be amazing but suffers from iffy dev consistency. Art is damn near replica of the show and has some pretty good details in it. overall gameplay loop is kind of repetitive but can usually be skipped or done quickly

Reasons to play:

1) The gameplay and dialogues are actually really good, as in it's actually a fun game that I would play regardless of the sex
2) Grew up watching these shows!
3) Goth girl
4) Bimbo girl

Reasons not to play: does the black girl have scenes? I want to see those huge ebony tits why arent they in the game|

The game has some decent mini-games, but the overall experience feels slow. Progress takes a while, and increasing relationships is repetitive and not very rewarding. The game has potential, but it needs better pacing and more variety in interactions to keep things interesting.

at this moment the game lacks content and what little it does have itss just mostly teasing and flashing some tits but even then its annoying to even get the scenes like getting enough afinity to take the girls clothes off at the hot tub. just keep spamming talk to them

hopefully dev add more stuff you can do in the middle of waiting for the next mini game to start besides panty hunting and hottube also blackmailinng does nothing so far besides make them mad at you so no point in doing it

At the moment the game lacks content, but being an early build it's understandable.

The concept is interesting and has potential: having characters voted off "randomly" is interesting but should be developed further and made more clear as to what affects what. The art looks good and it's faithful to the source.

The biggest downside is the repetitiveness: to increase the relationship with the characters you have to interact with them over and over with always the same dialogue options.
Furthermore the minigames are not brilliant and the score to reach to not be eliminated should be made clear for the player.

Overall I wouldn't suggest to play the game at the moment, but in future with more content and scenes it'll be worth a try.

I love the art, I love the gameplay actually feeling like a game, rather than an oddly formatted comic, and I like the repeatability offered by the way the game is set up. The characters are fun and the writing makes me like them even more than in the show, which I actually got back into because of this game (I'd last seen it as a kid back when it was airing). I'm so excited to see this continued and I wish the best to Sid.

the game is really good and very promising, i feel like i am really in the tv show, but i have 3 complains

1: the minigames are "useless" well, useless is not the word, but i think you need to improve them a little

2: there are too many "dead hours"between the events but again, i think they need a little of improvening

3: the elimination choices, i am in favor about the dialogue options but if you cant safe yourself from the elimination with dialogues with the others or winning their trust, you cant watch the option you want with X girl

A solid premise, has a decent amount of content for this early of a build too. Still, obviously, this remains an early build, and the content overall is limited (Would have put this as 4* but I feel docking points for it being an early build is unfair). Hope to see more added as the game continues updating, and I should be able to comment further on this.

The mini-games aren't too bad, besides being simple, and it's probably best being keep that way to avoid them becoming too tedious in the long run. I do appreciate their inclusion, though, but do wish that a requirement for winning or losing could be shown so players could know what they're aiming for.

Art style is mostly faithful to the show (which I love), with some changes made to spice up certain characters. I'm glad this hasn't been taken too far and characters haven't been morphed into something not representing them.

Definitely a fan of this so far and hope to see more scenes in new updates.

Alright, I tried it out because the art is pretty good and faithful to the source material...but nah

Basically it boils down doing the same hot tub scene/ talking to people (no real meaningful options, just relation gain pretty much no matter what you pick) over and over and the occasional boring af mini game to still be voted off after dodgeball because heaven forbid you wanted a scene after 20 mins ig

I had high relation with everybody on team/ half the total campers and still got voted off, and truth be told after the mid time I had before that point not even gonna try again...just slink off to rule34.xxx and search for pics there ig

Wait for some real scenes to be added, and download a save off of somebody fam

version 0.02p

It's mega fun to play this game, supper excited for future updates.
Static scenes look awesome and animations are very good for this style.
Mini games could use a little optimisation but they are fun to play besides one that is optional (it's a bit too long for a countdown mini game for my taste, that's all).

Sincerely recommend everyone to give this one a try, you will be hocked

As of version 0.02 there may not be a lot of content but the foundation is very promising. I hope this game will live up to it's potential. The writing is fun and keeps in touch with the vibe of the original cartoon, art is very nice, I just hope the developer will keep up this quality

There have been lots of TDI spin offs, but I hate how they always use Cody as MC. I really dont like him. So props for using an OC. His random insert just fits the vibe of the series.
The sprites look pretty legit, and the vibe feels cool. Needs a lot of work on content though.
It did surprise that it already had 3 tasks, but it needs more to content in between. Seems only a few have scenes, like the hot tub ones, but they seem pretty straightforward to make for the rest of the cast. Also would love more flexibility in the routes and for it to not stick 100% to the original story.
If the author stays on this and doesnt let the project die, I think TDI has a pretty loyal fanbase that could maybe lift this up.

(Also, reading other reviews, I think a voting prediction system could be really nice. A place where you could see what type of decision other contestants will take after you ask them, so you can focus on who to try to convince. However the approval being the requirement for the vote definitely needs to change, dialogue choice based would be better. Or at least more decision choices to get/loose more approval.)

Great game so far, albeit not a ton of content. Looking forward to any new updates. Wished it gave you a little extra time between events, so you could enjoy the scenes with all the girls and not have to worry about getting voted out.
