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

It's still very early to judge this game and there's not a lot of content, but so far i'm far away from impressed. I don't know what all those reviewers are seeing in this game, but i'm missing it.

The game although it has an interesting premise, fails to deliver a solid stoyrline so far and most of the writing is cringe-worthy. The models although beautiful, look completely underage and their busty figures look almost comical on them and makes you feel uncomfortable.
Also the choices so far make zero sense sometimes. They need to work on that asap!
It also ask you to name the girls or use the default names and a little later they ask you again to give them nicknames! Why asking me to name characters in the first place if i'm gonna call them with their "nicknames" eventually?
And finally, we can see what other characters are thinking which is such a turnoff! There's a reason that books or games are only on 1st person pov or narration. We're the MC, we're not supposed to know what other people think! What's the point of playing the game when there's zero mystery about the other characters?

Overall, it's average at best. I'll probably wait to see it finished to give it another try, but for now it definitely don't justify the high rating.

I love the game!

The story is interesting and the characters feel unique, also i like where the game will be going and it will be nice to persue the different routes. ( I am especially looking forward the dark route)

Looking forward to all future updates.

Art is ok 5/10. Mediocre. No way the art hits the top 10 criteria.

1/10 for asset spam avoidance. Still those same daz asset flip models we've seen elsewhere.

Story 3/10. Not the worst.

Characters seem a little too young. Works for people with that fetish.
Warning: Don't let the cops find this one on your drives.

Hype adjusted score: 2/10

There is no way this game meets the hype. Painfully average.

I want to Preface this with I absolutly love this game.

First the story. Its not completely original but it is a new spin on the coma story as well as the unknown kids. So far it has been extremely well told with a fair amount of choices for a first chapter.

The Graphics/Renders are phenomenal. The lighting seems well done and the animations appear to be top notch.

Mechanic wise. I like the explanation the prefaces the choices, as well as the narrator (something you almost never see) but can differently see that they are not for everyone.

For me there is not really any Cons (other then having to wait for an update) but as mentioned above I can see some people being annoyed with a couple of the game mechanics.

Well that was intense, what a powerful story! Being an old fool I went threw many emotions which has to be the hallmark of great story. All the girls look really good and the renders are just awesome. Feel like I have been left on the edge of seat and anxious for more, just hope we don't have to wait long for it. To be very honest I can't think of anything negative to say about it.

One of the best games of this genre I've ever played. Strong story, after long time its game where make sense for me to play love path instead of other two possible paths (corruption or obedience). Its still first early version, but I hope that author will be able to keep such a high quality even in future releases.

Good start for a match that promises to be ambitious. It offers gameplay, certainly, not original, but sufficiently enriched to offer us a certain impression of mastery of the history and the relationships between the characters. The story is clear and well written, which allows you to immerse yourself immediately in the game world. The graphics and animations have nothing to envy to the references of the genre. We think DAZ3D is under control. Sir Dammed & Alorth offers us an alliance which could lead to a game which, while remaining in what we know, gives us a VN which could become a reference of the genre.

Radiant is one of the few games that I put money towards on Patreon. I really enjoy the characterizations and the art is impressive in it's subtlety. The three main girls are all supposed to look exactly like their mom, but different, and the artist pulls it off well. I'm interested to see where the three themed system of choices goes, and wonder how in-depth it'll get. If you're looking for a game that seems like it'll have more thought to it, while keeping in mind that it's indeed a lewd game, this one's worth a look.

This is a very enjoyable game to play. Where some stories are a slow burn with lots of dialogue and setting up of scenes, Radiant jumps right into it. Sometimes that can be be a bad thing but for Radiant taking it slow wouldn't have been the right path.

Storywise it's your typical Father-Daughter incest story so nothing quite ground breaking there, but that's okay because we're here for the girls not the text (otherwise we'd be reading erotic novels instead). Although it is slightly unique in that the MC is entirely unaware that he was a father until they show up unannounced.

Visuals wise all of the girls are good looking and the renders have no noticeable errors on them, the lighting is well set up so that they have a natural skin colour. The sex scene animations are very well done even with only the one so far with gracie. The game also lets you toggle blood on or off which is an interesting feature.

Game Mechanics: There is an interesting feature here where you can define your character psyche and choose what sort of route you want to take with your daughters, love purity and darkness. It's too early to tell whether they'll be able to keep making unique scenes for all routes but it will be interesting to see them try.

Edit: Cons: The flashing colour system is a bit annoying and could be distressing to photo-sensitive players or useless to colour blind players.

The narrator. We don't need one, the MC's internal monologue would suffice for most things that happen as we are inside their head so to speak. For example the doorbell rings then the MC can ether think "oh that's the doorbell" or just have 'Doorbell rings'

played version : 0.1.1v taboo edition

Played and slowly read through

game really got potential, Renders are well done.
writing is good. but its a good read not really gripping but its one of those games that doesn't makes you skip through till the sexy bits.
pacing is a slow burn.

Models are just perfect, story so far great and very emotional i almost cried and my hart hurt. Absolutely perfect start, if that will continue I'm pretty sure this will be top list VN if its not already.

The quality is already there. CG's are beautiful and the story premisse (spelling?) laid a good foundation for a first update.

I do wonder if this game "ages"well with the refrencing to the world at the moment. Also, it might be too ambitious... So a high risk of never being finished.

However, I'll give the benefit of the doubt to this creator and decided to support him on his Patreon till June.

While this VN is still in very early days, it shows very high potential.

The writing that's here is rich and emotional, and shows a clear understanding of characters going through one of the worst things that could happen to anyone.

The game's psyche system is interesting, and it looks like the story will develop in multiple ways depending on the character's choices. Hopefully, the devs can translate this into some replay value.

The art is beautiful. When the story called for Gracie to be the most beautiful woman the main character has ever seen, the artist clearly put heart and thought into depicting that. And since her triplets are all supposed to resemble her, we're getting a really good 4-for-1 deal here.

The one bad thing I can say right now though is that the animations look crude, and don't really meet the standards this game has set for itself. I can't knock it down too much for now, though, given how early this VN is in development. Going forward, it's definitely something worth keeping an eye on.

Overall, this game deserves to be right at the top of anyone's must-watch list.

Fantastic start to the game. the renders are very nice, the animation is good as well. The story and dialog is good and makes sense so far. My only issue at all would be all the girls looking alike, i get it, the 3 are triplets, but even the girl who comes for a job looks similar. I also enjoy the music and sound effects, kinda reminded me of Being a DIK there. Anyway, keep up the great work.

Cute models, and the renders and animations overall great. So far choices seems to matter at least a bit, hard to say this early on though... Overall a very promising start. and looking forward towards the next update.

My first impressions on this version of the game is phenomenal. I thoroughly enjoy everything this game has to offer, from its animations to its tiny details. I am very much looking forward to future updates for this game

Pros: Interesting story, nice graphics, good renders, outstanding dialogue, characters draw you in, in game music is immersive.

Cons: I feel that there could be more choices with the characters such as more dialogue options, what actions you can do to them, and what your character does. For example, the sleepwalking scene with the blonde girl (I forgot her real name since i named her Helga), i feel that there could have been a choice whether to wake her up or not.

Overall there are a substantial amount of pros, and very few cons, this is a very well polished, well made, and overall excellent game.

Honestly let me start off by saying not many games that just released or at the beginning stages can make you feel so many emotions. The animations are pretty good so far and I expect with even more releases its just gonna improve even more. I especially enjoy the three main girls they each have their own quirks and personalities so they never will fill dull and above all they're beautiful and well designed.

The gameplay at first will make you feel overloaded cause there are so many paths you can take but once you realize there is no good or bad way to play and that its your choice on how you want the story to go it just adds extra on getting immersed and enjoying the ride in a great story.

Now on to the story when I said at first about emotions its true this game will make you feel sad, happy, angry, etc. So I found that very compelling as a reader and for being at the first releases I say it had enough content to keep you satisfied and at the same time make you want to come back for more.

I usually don't give ratings for games on its first episode. Too little content, the dev is usually still struggling as he adjusts the game, etc...

But this one here has all the fine prints of a jewel.

Great characters, a very long first episode (which a lot of new content creator could learn from - the more you give us, the more we have to evaluate your creation), some promising story (too early to really tell how good it is, but given what I've seen before in other games, this one "feels" competent), good enough writing, etc...

The only thing (and it's very important to me) I can't really evaluate right now is how active the devs will be when it comes to updates. I did become a patron, but what happens in the next few months will either "make it or break it" for me.

If the dev fails to give us content in a timely fashion, or if the quality drops, I'll adjust this accordingly.

But, as it is? This is a 5 star in my books. Let's just hope it will still be a 5 star game in the following weeks.

Beginning of the game starts more or less like most VN's, But to my surprise went into a different direction! This is good thing! I never had a VN tug my heart strings, I was surprised how quickly I became emotionally involved.
Though it is still in development, it is well thought out and leaves you wanting to continue the story.
Artwork is very good. The story telling is superb! The characters pull you in. There is a System of choices that will effect how the game plays out... You are encouraged to play maybe more as yourself if in this situation.
Will have to see if it pans out. I know I did not mention the plot of this VN. I highly encourage you to play it and see for yourself how really good it is

It's great to see a game with nice 3d graphics that doesn't forget that writing is still a crucial element of a good game unless you are making minutes long highly detailed SFM style animations for every scene.

The plot might not be the most original thing ever, but the characters are damned cute and the aforementioned writing raises it above most of its counterparts.

Anxiously awaiting where it goes from here, and excited to see where some of the darker options might head. I can only hope the updates are frequent and keep up the quality.
