Wow wow Flash, slow down a little bit, why such a rush? It's not a race, you know that? You're probably miss one digit

Try like 8 years, at this rate. Maybe by the 4th year we can get a lil action going.

The only news we ever get is "When it's ready", I'm sorry to say.
They've stopped giving ETAs since the constant delays of 0.2.

Okey. That is a very unproffessional and arrogant statement of them then. That is kinda sad. I was hoping to support them by now, but that totally turns me off.

It is indeed. I can see where things may build into quite a drama filled journey especially with that damn cop.

This is the way a lot of Devs are going: if you don't know the date, don't set one (because you are likely to miss it and cause more problems).

Yeah if you got a whole staff of people and can be pretty sure about your output then maybe set a timeline, but the majority of these devs are either alone or in very small teams so tiny mishaps make it easy to miss dates and then flames and hatred for 100 pages......
Vague is fine by me and I even throw coins to some devs every month so I am OK with paying for vague
A number of their Patreons asked them to stop worrying about a specific ETA, especially given the impact COVID and the various lock downs have wherever they live. Many developers have also had trouble getting quick replacements for gear that dies or for upgrades (like the 3090). I'm sure that F95 can provide many other VN updates while the next rev of Radiant is being worked on.
That wasn't my point. I have 2 points, first is the statement in general is very arrogant. I hate those words "it's done when it's done". You can use that statement in mcdonalds or when your mom is making you dinner maybe but not for a project like this.
Secon point is I don't demand an exact date, but some vague information would be nice. Look at Luxee or Kompas, they don't deliver an exact date, just esitmated date, but they deliviver information on the progress, which tasks are done, how far into tasks, how many tasks left etc. That is all we need to know, just some transparancy.

In IT, you can reasonably predict what you will deliver or when you will deliver, but not so often what+when you expect to deliver. Exceptions exist, but anyone who thinks otherwise is taking chances. Given how software development of new releases tends to work, unless your development cycles and delivery pipeline are highly mature and predictable, it's not at all "arrogant" of the Radiant Devs to say it will be done when it's done.
In that regard, people can support Radiant based on a combination of communications with the Devs, expectations from those communications, desire to support something larger than themselves and/or specifically for their entertainment value, etc. Given the track record of these Devs, it's not arrogant of them to be shy about predicting a date for when their desired next installment of content will be ready. If anything, it's an acknowledgement that they are not fast or predictable, for various reasons already discussed. Still, if you don't like their approach, it's easy enough to not support them.
You can't compare Devs that work differently than this team, especially if the current ones don't see the need to change their project management style. We can make predictions, but since nobody knows what content is going to be included in the next installment, forecasting the timeframe until they get closer to the end will be difficult (again, per history). Further, they did offer a general->more specific timeframe for the most recent deliverable as it got closer, so I see no reason to think it won't be a similar approach for the next one.
Yes. They delivered an unfinnished game also. But it's also abit different. this is text with images. Hard to compare.

Which is why they're patching the game still and releasing "Free DLC".
If you take the industry as a whole, CDPR don't get paid a whole heck of a lot.

I apologize for getting this post mixed up with another one so yea my thoughts on the cop who's a shrimp dick.
The cop is a douche he has a major issue he did say it was a family members house prior to MC moving in but for him to be a douche and go out of his way to harass him like that was uncalled for I would have reported his ass personally.

Not really, Glenn's just a whiny shit. He can't handle that his grandfather's house was placed on the market and was sold. So now he's using any means necessary to make sure the house is his, even though he no legal ties to it anymore. Even the creeper photos he has of the MC kissing Olivia are not permissible evidence of any kind. He's already shot his case in the foot. This is just a "You have my house, I'll ruin your life" scenario. Nothing more, nothing less. He's such a man-child.
He also had no legal requirement/order to even investigate the house or what goes on inside. There's so much wrong with this character I find the drama aspect he's bringing impossible to believe in any way, shape or form.
I feel that RK Studios implemented him without thinking that people with the least amount of legal knowledge would be able to find the flaws in his logic.
Take for example the game as it is without the Incest/Taboo patch installed.
They're 18 and unrelated to the main character. They're LEGAL. What the fuck is his angle?

Like another dev I shall not mention, don't ever dare question the Shakesperian level of talent they have. Beyond reproach...all perfectly logical and sound writing without faults.
The majority of VN readers/players must have very, very low expectations, or given the bulk of the 'competition'...can see why they think this is literary genius.
