Ren'Py - My New Island Life [v0.2.1] [Visq]

In a world where most games of this genre these days need to have a dark psychological twist with a broken mc in an attempt to clone you know what... it is so nice to see a game that's just "yeah cool chill island adventure go have fun." The characters are all pretty and the animations in this game are all *chefs kiss* I mean really a cut above. Great start, if this keeps its direction it will be very enjoyable. Maybe let the mc relax a little tho lmao, bro is a bit uptight.

Version: v0.2

This one's a cut above most RenPy + Koikatsu games. First and foremost, the dev seems to have a good grasp on how to use the Character Studio, so everything looks very nice. Second, they integrated a lot of interactive elements into the regular VN gameplay, which is always a nice touch.

Of course, not everything is perfect. At the beginning, some of the English seems kind of poor. I found my self getting confused over the wording a few times early on. This seems to not be an issue later into the game though. Secondly, the Blackjack is just a tad janky. Two busts counts as a win, and more importantly, aces don't behave properly by reducing when a bust occurs.

Overall, the girls are fun and I'm excited to see where the dev goes with this game.

It's not bad, the renders are nice, the story is somewhat generic but entertaining and the girls look good.

"But it has a lot of black screens and it makes me anxious..." , Yes, it has some black screens that show part of the story, nothing that hasn't been seen in other games, and unlike many others this game has a detailed screen of what to do with each girl and the "rewards" to obtain.

For now there is almost no content, I recommend giving it a chance and supporting the dev but wait a little longer until it has enough content.

I think this has potential. It's definitely not re inventing the wheel but I do enjoy all the characters and the animations/posing are of quality. Story is still developing but I don't put much weight on story as long as I feel like there's some decent to good relationship progression with the girls.

There is a little bit of grind so that you can buy the girls gifts (which you need to do to progress) but I found it very manageable and I was able to quickly have way more money than I needed.

If this continues in the path that it is currently on, I could see myself quite enjoying this. There isn't a bunch of content as of now but there is enough to give it a try.
