Since when do you care more about quantity than quality, mass-producing unoriginal content?
Sure, Timeless Island is much bigger and contains a lot more than TWA, however it is nothing as surprising and fun as TWA was, never knowing where each choice would lead us, Timeless Island is too convenient and predictable to surprise and have fun discovering it, I even abandoned it half-way because I was already bored of it, which is unexpected and disappointing after such a crazy roller-coaster ride as TWA was.
Did you lose your inspiration or did you focus so much on quantity that you sacrificed originality? 😟
By the way, I need to get it off my chest because it got on my nerves during my entire reading of Timeless Island since you use it so often, I don't know how you learned english but the sentence "Are you that serious?" does not mean anything and I never EVER read it anywhere else since, you know, it doesn't mean anything, I think you wanted to say "Are you serious about that?" but since you repeated the same mistake every time and you used this non-existent english sentence often, you did not even realize that you were repeating a mistake all the time and it really made my frustration grow the more you repeated the same mistake so I needed to get it off my chest eventually and now I feel relieved of a weight already. 😅
Especially since I finally resolved to get rid of this tedious linear adult sandbox after having tried to force myself to complete it since I lost my motivation to continue it since it is so unoriginal, predictable and repetitive, it had grown into a routine chore rather than an enjoyable fun and I shouldn't have forced myself to continue against my will when I grew bored, I should have listened to my needs from the start and maybe you should have as well when you lost your inspiration, you would have spared both of us a chore. 😉
Then you never saw an actual essay if you take my little message for an essay, "bro". 😏
So your reasoning is that if something is free then you have to be grateful for it no matter what it is?
My philosophy is: If you can't do something good then don't do it at all instead of doing it bad. Nothing is always better than bad things.
Moreover, you assume that "this game is free" because you account only for the cost in money but you don't account the cost in time to read this visual novel whereas time is a limited resource as well since we are not eternal, our life time is limited and every moment that we waste is a moment that we will never ever get back and there are so many things to experience in life for us to afford to waste our limited time in uninspired unoriginal stories full of meaningless fan-service, this visual novel costed me DAYS of my life wasted during which I forced myself to continue a story which already got me utterly bored after only a few days because of its overwhelming massive amount of unoriginal and meaningless content until I eventually couldn't take any more of it and gave up half-way, the best moment of this uninspired visual novel was when I deleted it from my PC, I felt relieved that I was FINALLY rid of it.
Moremoreover, he did NOT "make this game for free" since he is funded through Patreon.
And this is not even a game since it doesn't contain any gameplay, only pictures and texts, this is a visual novel.
Did you read his previous visual novel, Twenty Worlds Agency: Stories Of Department 13? I don't think so otherwise you would understand why I am so very disappointed in Timeless Island therefore I suggest you to download TWA and experience how inspired and fun he was before he turned into a mindless factory which mass produces boring fan-service THEN you will understand my disappointment.
Great game. Fun story , cool characters and puzzles aren't too hard: I'm old and lazy. Bought it after playing demons......milfs game to the point where it needs a update. Probably buy that too after its finished. Cant wait for your new game to be finished. You seem to improve with every game.
I have played the game in the last version 1.0 PC from itch.io and I'm ready to post my review.
The game is a point&click genre, built on Ren'Py engine, with three minigames - one of them is a puzzle game, second one is fight mechanic (mash Left Mouse Button in order to win) and the third one (my favorite) is riddles. I believe there are no other minigames.
Anyway, let's get to the point.
'Train your skills' in order to be able to fight back enemy or do sneak lewd scenes is a very nice feature. The relationship system is nice and standard thing but very logical. The narrations seems thoughtful and consistent. I mean like, a lot of fantasy stuffs are illogical or irrational but aside of that, the characters are acting in a most logical or natural way.
Personal opinion starts here: I kinda do not like the moment when you become demigod and suddenly got ridiculous pool of health and mana. Erasers are not threat anymore and you can't die (again xd). I felt like all my training was in vain and doesn't even matter for the story. Same thing is with the hidden clock of Chronos which allows you on 'god mode' from the very beginning of the game and it even wasn't hard to obtain Such powerful item should have at least very difficult mini-game or riddle.
The more you're diving into the game, the more it seems rushed and unfinished. The latter characters get less scenes, less interactions and the 'boss final fight' is really disappointing.
Also couldn't get the feeling that the Laptop is unfinished work with only 2 games and "Movies" button which does NOTHING for the whole game.
Also there was a note on the Sylph lady with her pictures & costumes that there should be more costume scenes but currently there is only one or something like that
Also after reaching the end, I went to a cosplay party to play again with Spin The Bottle and still, some characters refuses to kiss each other :/ was that meant to be? I don't know.
think i ran into a glitch. Not entirely sure but, I’m ready to give up on this game. Tried multiple times but have had no success. Im on day 91 currently. Stren-4, stealth-4, mana-100, resist-60%. 3 spells and 5 skills, the girls rp is above 6. The green scenes are just not working.
Current green missions available:
Sewing supplies
Mad dreams (keeps looping with nothing happening and prevents “more kitties” mission)
More kitties
Find the other way to beat them
Lustful coyote
Between fire and ice
these are the only current missions available, ive been trying to deal with them since day 60, but now at 91 and tried 4 times. I have given up
The story is an easy 10/10, the NSFW scenes are a 9/10, they're okay by themselves but you have a lot of options (viewing angle, speed, etc.) so it's really good. The characters have a great variety in personality and body types, though especially the ones at the very end just get a single sex scene.
Unfortunately, the game felt rather rushed towards the end, the month long training montage was shorter to play through than the week with Imira. In addition, the games casual usage of the f-slur and the r-slur to insult people is highly problematic and frequently pulled me out of the happy fantasy that this game provides.
I can't believe Timeless Island reached it's final stage but I'm very happy that it did although I hate to see it end, I have to start over from the beginning because the Laptop I was playing on like went nuts and now I can't recover my saves from it. However I remember most of what I have to do in the game like how and where to get the screw driver that was a hard one to figure out. I love this game so much especially the parts where you try to sneak up on the girls depending on who and what they are different things happen to you and you have to learn certain tricks for it. I hope you continue to update Timeless Island in the future, or have another great VN in the works for us. I haven't tried TWA yet but I'll be playing it too next after I restart Timeless Island. I think I'll pay money this time and get those cheat codes. Thank you, for making such a great game.
So.. it's finally happened... I just 100% completed the game and it was a blast start to finish... Got caught up mid way through... (i.e: Corridors) but got there in the end and the epilogue was so satisfying.
So I got to Corridor of Destiny and now need to train my stats. But I can't train them anymore and I can't find the spells or skills it talks about. Any suggestions? Also I can't get the quest with Yui that requires 'Who Am I' despite it being green.
I got stuck on that too, basically do everything else you can, once you do the 'who am I' quest it opens up a bunch of stuff. To do the Corridors quest, do every quest you can for each specific character that aligns with those stats... For example Lina, (quest everywhere with her: common and anime)
Hey, I realy love that game, but since public release I have the problem, that the game don't show me certain parts of the World (Black screen) and also no Animations anymore (pic below). Any idea how to fix it? :)
There's a scroll in the Ancient Room. There's also a fire barrier in the Mystery Hotel. Both say under development in 0.9. Does the final release make use of them or were they forgotten about?
Oh, about scroll... I guess, I just forgot to remove the hovering after lina translated it. About the Mystery hotel, I don't know yet. I'll probably make it as a separate update or even build. I planned something like a horror quest with a ghost there.

What happened to you, AriohDaerthe?
Where have gone your originality and fun?

Then you never saw an actual essay if you take my little message for an essay, "bro". 😏

подскажите как пройти дальше. И если есть какой другой способ оплаты подписки -буду признателен.

I'm also stuck here
Check the tower
Check the boxes in the basement for a few times
Не могу пройти квест "Переговоры", из-за того, что Селена не появляется в приюте дриады.
