VN Ren'Py Radiant [v0.6.3] [RK Studios]

[SrRK]

Dammed : Are you planning to put a gallery (mode) inside the game? Because I would love to replay the scenes this comfortable way, and not being forced to save and load every scene again...

Eventually yes, absolutely! Just not a priority at the current moment since the game is in early-access and we have quite a lot of work on our plate.

I am pretty sure there are much more than two people confused by this, even if they dont tell you, but whatever. I think you need to clarify it in the game dialog why you so vehemently and repeteadly are referencing something that was never shown

You be you, you are the writer and its your game. To me, even after the clarifications, its not consistent

Think of it like this: how else would she (Natalie) have known where and when to meet him if he didn't contact her at a later time to discuss the details of said meeting? And given how standoffish she was being: of course it's a possibility that she could change her mind when contacted and decide to turn him down when asking her to meet him at x-place on x-date at x-time.

That's really all there is to it: he's expressing that he's thankful that she's giving him the time of day/meeting with him instead of blowing him off, as he wants to make things right. I truly to feel like this is very clearly explained/heavily implied to the point where 99.9% of players will get it.

The TB Edition worked just fine for me. Are you sure you put it in the folder labelled "game"?

Thats the thing there is no file, when I click download it just says No Content.

A great update all in all and as always the scenes are great and the girls are hot. My only issue is i feel were getting too many girls too soon - we need to develop the ones we have more but that just my opinion. I saw we have those three but also Brooke as the already in love with the MC girlfriend option and the horny waitress Vanessa on the sidelines too offering excellent side fodder for full on sex early on in the games story without rocking the boat.

The rest though? Theyre all hot and ive no qualms with any of them but already Natalie despite everything that has happened seems to be falling for our charms already despite slow burning with her making complete sense, the works secretary is wanting a piece of the action and now the neighbours disgruntled wife seems to have plans to get jiggy with the MC. Im on board with banging all three of them, no argument there but im a little wary that all these side girls will be over egging the pudding when really we all wanna see focus on the daughters and of course the GF/Horny bit on the side Vanessa. On the latter part im not even sure thats the plan anymore either - Vanessa is now overlapping as waifu girlfriend material like Brooke as theyve done a 180 on her character (i guess the neighbour will take the slot of horny easy access side piece?).

Still despite cast being bloated i am happy with how much the three different paths already seem to be differentiating and how much its starting to flesh out the girls. Ive no idea how Dark path will be with say Brooke but i can see how we can make her a horny MILF character easy enough or on love path you can be a devoted step father to another daughter. The next update very likely will be purely focused on the daughters (im ok with that obviously) and im looking forward to seeing how a little break away with them (and likely Grace in his dreams lol) will develop things further as well as further develop the three paths. Im still undecided if Allie is as naive as shes presented (the narrative says yes but her actions have me conflicted) but have said before all three are very different and each one really seems to be ideal fodder for said three paths. Not sure if this is intentional but she remains my fave girl in the game. I really like Maddie too, shes growing on me the more i play this game.

That's... incredibly weird. Are you opening

You must be registered to see the links

page from the OP? Cause the mega link there is where you get the file

 

[Naxer]

I was playing a "dark solo" route, to see what's new. And that spanking scene with Maddison is so disturbing. I was simply disgusted after following through the entire punishment, it's simply too much for me.

 

[Soundgfx]

This is also a part of her strange/unique character arc... and a nod to those who like girls that are pure/virgins simultaneously. At the end of the day, Radiant is meant to be a fun/self-aware story with elements of erotic fantasy, so not to be taken too seriously even though it does get serious at times.

If you say that the uniqueness of her circumstances are crucial for her intended character arc then I'm pretty sure the weirdness is also intended and that's understandable.


But I really do hope we get a non-sexual route with out daughters for those people who aren't into incest.

You need not worry! There's a couple things I've explained to patrons/to people in our Discord that I think will quell your fears/concerns.

1) The main cast of 5 girls (Triplets + Brooke & Natalie included) will always receive a bare minimum of roughly 65-70% of screen-time in every chapter. This means no matter how bloated the romantic interests/harem gets, you won't be losing precious time with the main cast. Besides... if we only ever spent time with the triplets things might get a little dull/repetitive kind of fast... which actually leads me to my next point...

2) The game will be, at minimum, around twenty chapters long. That means there's a ton of in-game content ahead that will afford more than enough time to feel fulfilled/satisfied with all of the relationships players are building.

3) Many of the more "minor" characters/girls will still get a pretty good amount of screen-time, and while it varies from girl to girl, I do my best to make sure it's pretty equal and fair.

There's many other details/plans that will make the diversified cast of girls/harem work out perfectly, even with the slowly growing branching/different paths, but I promise it will work out/be satisfying and you won't be left feeling like you got cheated outta your time with the main girls.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

Did you changed something from previous updates, 'cause my save doesn't work?

 

[SrRK]

Did you changed something from previous updates, 'cause my save doesn't work?

So long as you saved at the "Save Your Game" screen it will work just fine: however, using in-game mods or walkthrough mods will often break saves and there's sadly nothing I can do about that since it's directly caused by the mods themselves.

Using the developer console to change or alter any variables or saving at incompatible times can also break saves.

 

[Reese286]

Haha. I only have one response for those people (clarification: for the one's scrutinizing the game over this):

"Imagine complaining about elements of adult fantasy...

...in a game that literally self-identifies as erotic/adult fantasy."

Radiant is a game that only takes itself seriously when it needs to/when handling more serious subject matter such as death. The rest is rather lighthearted & self-aware, and a LOT of what happens would never happen in reality. If I tied myself down to the restrictions of the real world while making an adult fantasy game I'd be pretty bad at my job (but don't tell that to all of the armchair game developers & armchair storytellers. Also, don't let it slip that they're playing a game about a guy who's romancing 3 wards, the mother of his manslaughter victim, two employees, and a girl who died).

I'm going to be real with you: there's a bit of an echo chamber going on here. People don't realize their opinions are futile/nobody gives a shit out there in the real world... and all of their moaning falls upon deaf ears. If people are constantly here to scrutinize the game despite not even liking it, I can only feel sorry for them. For clarification I'm not speaking about those offering polite or constructive criticism here.



I plan to do just that And yep: there's going to be more Liv. Lots and lots and lots of Liv next chapter especially.

Good on ya Dev ... Never accept the drama from haters and trolls, they can fuck right off.

Love your work_ Keep doing what you do.

With this latest release, I decided to start from the beginning again. I can't believe I didn't notice this on a previous playthrough.



Now I have to go through and try to find others. Could there be any Polarity Easter eggs in the game as well?

 

[NateGrey]

Wow, this game has huge cruelty potential! Aside from the fact you can act cold and strict towards three girls with nowhere to go who just lost their mother after a long battle with illness, you can also for no particular reason trick a girl interested in seeing you in dressing up and waiting in vain for you in front of a fancy restaurant! Especially after talking to Vanessa and hearing about her history (and implied suicidal thoughts) that is harsh, bro!

I did make my first and so far only 'dark' choice this chapter though... couldn't resist grabbing Allie's butt

Ah, I saved one or two slides before this screen

 

[SrRK]

Bummer, haha. Yeah, so long as you always save when the game prompts it you should never have to worry about broken saves in the official/unmodded game. Lemme know if you need help with anything else!

Yep! There's at least a couple. A ton of other little Easter Eggs, some related to Neko Paradise and some not, as well.

 

[Amahl Farouk]

The crazy mofo tag applies to all 3 routes. The only thing that changes is what method MC chooses to be a grooming creep.

There's porn writing and then there's "dead landlady gives you her blessing to bang her tenants" porn writing.

I would argue pure route is the most hypocritical one, pretending there is anything even remotely pure about this game's core premise...

Welcome to F95Zone, you must be new.

 

[Amahl Farouk]

They came to bond with there father not to be treated like animals.

One man's bonding is another man's bondage my friend.

Respectfully, I think you might need to sit down and review the variables for a few of the actions in the game, as has been mentioned by others, as there do seem to be some inconsistencies that are puzzling. I would also like to see more differentiation in dialogue and a clearer in-game sense of what path I am on. For example, if you are vicious to one girl it's reasonable to assume the other girls will find out and this will change their behaviour towards the mc even when they are not being victimized. Those niggles aside, I am really enjoying your game

I wouldn't read too much into what certain people say here regarding that as people tend to nitpick or base their assertions on assumption: there's a lot of variables that aren't yet coded or are intentionally ambiguous/vague. Nearly every-single-thing you do in this game is recorded and serves some kind of purpose. If you're talking about how the MC will act one way directly after making certain choices, and then more subdued or mild-mannered during normal dialogue: the way I see it is... much like with all human beings... he's not black & white or one-dimensional. He has different desires, whims, feelings, and behaviors depending on his mood, or his interactions, or even the time of day. Even if you're doing something like going down the Dark Path with Maddie, the game isn't going to just assume you hate her/are angry at her every waking moment, to give one example.

As for your request: this is more or less the main reason I created the Psyche and Relationship systems... and Pure/Lust/Dark are just one small facet of these systems as eventually these variables can combine and even work together. However... it's normal that you aren't seeing a lot of impact from your Psyche-profile on the plot just yet: I'm basically affording time for players stats/choices to register/build/grow so that there's no glaring conflicts or problems. Now that we're moving beyond Chapter 3 you'll start to see the Psyche-system's impact on the dialogue/flavor text more often as well as greater impact from your decisions and choices.

Really glad you're enjoying the game... and thanks for the feedback!

Lol nurse at the beginning of the game in the hospital is the worst nurse ever. "I'm panicking"

Well UCSF is a university hospital maybe the whole reason she is on the coma ward is she is new and in training or just not comfortable with the "live ones"
