If you dont like the time between updates dont support. And if you dont support then who cares about your opinion, your getting the game for free.

Er, who are you talking to?

 

[Hordragg]

I was all set to facepalm you but.... Well played.

Glad I'm not the only one who nearly fell for that.

when is next update?

 

[Cartageno]

I rather fap once a week than stuff my penis once a day for two month and go 10 months in no fap mode.

I just wanted to answer a post saying that it was the same a small update every month than a big update every 5 months and it isn't. Also, it is easier to stop playing if there is no more content avaible than if there is. It takes more food to get you satisfied the more loaded your dish is.

Of course you are correct that it is easier to "portion" your playtime when it comes pre-sliced. But as for the first: I'd rather wait a bit with no fapping at all and then get the real thing, which is so much more fun. Now, we don't know whether this will be the real thing, nor would your opinion be invalid regardless of whether or not it is. But it isn't the only opinion, so in this world where the dev makes (potentially) some happy and some not, there will be complaints either way.

The only thing I'm discussing is wether small updates and big updates are the same or not and they are not. Personally, I couldn't care less about how often they deliver any of the games here since I'm not a big fan of pornogames.

Out of curiosity, if you aren’t a big fan of pornogames why are you on F95 and in this thread?

I don’t mean that as an attack, I am genuinely curious what brings you to the site if you are not a big fan of the genre.

 

[SeveredRealms]

Yes yes inquiring minds would like to know why a NOT fan of porno games is on a site catering to porno games

He's in it for the stories

Is it though? Are they spreading themselves too thin? Where is your evidence of this?

Neko Paradise updates are being well received that ive seen. Not tried Polarity but everyone recommends it that ive seen including HERE where all these alleged supporters are getting pissed off. As for this well its only had a single release and were waiting on update two... how can we claim theyve spread too thin as we cant base any experience of quality dropping for an update when no one has seen said first update yet to compare?

I get it, people are just bloody impatient but the devs have been transparent and want full chapter releases so thats what i shall believe as theyve kept every promise so far. Good things come to those who wait and unlike most devs who release only a couple of times a year like Waifu Academy they are active here on the board and long may this continue (there is a reason a lot dont, they get all the abuse from people who most part are stealing their shit as they sure as hell aint paying for it lol). I dont think many devs have had to endure this level of expectation and demand after a single release... i dont envy them and its kinda insulting that people keep saying drop their much more developed older games which have their own numerous fans (arguably more as whilst the supporter money isnt quite as high combined as this one they are cheaper tiers so arguably have MORE backers vs this one which is by a team of what six as i recall staff... so money is spread much thinner as a result vs independent projects)

Neko Paradise is a niche game, Polarity has been in development for 2 years yet doesn't have a third of the forum posts Radiant has achieved in 5 months.

My point? There are thousands of developers with games here on F95 all trying to catch lightning in a bottle. Trying to develop that one game that catches fire and takes off. Radiant is one such game, the excitement and interest in it shows they have a mega hit on their hands.

Radiant should be their main focus, they need to capitalise on their initial success. It would be a shame to see the hype for this game evaporate due to some misguided development priority. Sure, work on the other projects when you have time, but Radiant should be their only priority.

You can always send them business case and/or project mananagement advice, but in the end how they allocate their time is their decision. As it is for any game Dev team.

And they have people who decide on supporting their endeavours (financially) based on what they feel is worthwhile to see continue, prioritization-wise - not all of them may agree with your (or other) viewpoints on such priorities, necessarily. Something to keep in mind for all of us.

Like everyone else I'm just offering an opinion. An opinion RK Studios can consider or tell me to go fuck myself with.

15-20 minutes updates each month are equivalent to 1 hour or hour and a half updates every 4-5 months. "Quick maths" as an old meme would say. Obviously they aren't exactly identical. With monthly updates you get content faster, but at the same time you get an unfinished product, and with longer updates you get the whole product despite having to wait longer to play them... But both styles are identical from an arithmetic, purely mathematical point of view, which is what I was referring to from the beginning (because I know you are alluding to one of my post).

Dammed and Alorth made it clear very early that they don't want to split up chapters in Radiant, that each update will have its full development rather than leave the narrative half way through, even if that means longer schedules. And this decision, although it may not please some people, must be respected. And here comes the whole problem, with certain individuals who don't give a f*ck about respecting the devs decisions and prefer to attack them by suggesting or directly accusing them of being milkers and scammers just because "the waiting is sooo loooong" (and then facepalming other posts, I'm not looking at anyone )

But hey, seeing your answers (some of them deleted), maybe the ignore list is the solution

One way to determine how supporters feel priority-wise is to look at the amount of donations given to each game.

Are we really going down to post count = priority? Do the devs get no say in this?

This has got lighting in the bottle - people WILL come back to it if the release is next week or next month. People wont lose hype for the game and the longer the update has not as you microscope decreased the traffic, in fact it attacts more and more accounts ive never seen before moaning there isnt an update yet (i doubt many of these are paying so again i can see why Dev will prefer the less vocal loyal supporters of their own titles vs everyone who comes here to pirate this one as its trending more than most... something which again doesnt go away easily - DMD, MILFY City, Summertime Saga etc the bigger games will get traffic whenever if ever they do more updates because they are so well known and this is much the same).

Again though and its nothing personal but were basing all this stuff on assumption. People just ASSUMING the game will lose hype if they take a wee bit longer to update or focus on more than one game but where is evidence of this happening here as everywhere i look it seems to be the opposite. I see people say the quality will drop because of other game focus but again weve had no update to compare to why are people stating this as fact? I see people saying its the better funded so they should drop the solo projects but ive provided evidence several times as to why its not in particular the case this game is the better earner for the two main developers on the project. Even here your again saying it should be their ONLY priority - do you say that to the likes of MrDots too?

 

[fried]

It's simple: the Dev team decides on their priorities in every case, based on their own chosen inputs.

You can support them through word of mouth, reviews, patronage, etc. You can attempt to make soft or hard demands with them here or elsewhere and see how far that gets with them, too.

They don't have to listen to all your suggestions, pleas or directions, depending on how they hope to maintain support (or not) over time: patronage is more open-ended than purchasing a software license.

How the Radiant team balances development of that game with other matters in their lives is a combination of practical and inspirational elements that they determine are important.

So, let's try not to get too off-topic of the game itself here, folks. I realize waiting breeds other topics, but please remember this is a game thread.

Hmm I think many of you missed my point. Maybe it's because of English your first language and not mine. What I meant by big fan is someone who uses a significant part of his free time to play pornogames. Since I am not, I don't care how much new content there is since it's unimportant to my daily life. For example, I like Being a Dik and I haven't yet played the whole last patch.

I'm in this thread because of the good renders and the great impact that the player choices are supposed to have. I dislike games like DMD or Melody because of it.

MrFriendly, it may not be worth your time to concern yourself with them as their posts don't add up:

Dude, I can't endure your brilliant prose.
