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

[BionicMan [FR]]

I am quite frustrated by the inconsistencies in how the different options allocate points. Sometimes, the point allocation does not make sense. Pesonnaly, I always make my first playthrough before checking the walkthrough (but I still have the variables that interest me on display) and god, the point allocation is inconsistent.

When I turn down Mira, I get Dark points, but when I reject Vanessa or Brooke, I get Pure points, without real logic into why the same option gives different outcomes (character name hidden to avoid spoilers, even though this thread contains loads of unmarked spoilers).

The player should be able to close the path that do not interest him without consequences.

I'm going to leave a potential theory for the fuck of it that at this point I think it would be the only way this can be saved. I would even happily applaud them if they did this.


After a friend made a comment about how even MC realizes his life is a ridiculous joke from a cliché porn game.. Mmm maybe they are trying to pull one on us.. after a couple of random crap from 6 updates, MC wakes up after the car accident? and the actual story began? Everything else was just a terrible dream induced in the mind of MC by the comma and having played so many terrible games? He simply had a premonition of the triplets.. that now act like real complex characters, troubled teenagers suffering from the lost of their mother and having to live with a guy they have never seen? I dont know, maybe Gracie could even be alive.. maybe?


"Radiant" is actually meant to represent the white light a person in comma see filtered from the hospital

Unfortunately, this update came too late to save it from being a piece of trash. Too long between updates, too many lies about when the update was "dropping" and too fucking screwed up now. Definitely NOT a game I would be interested in playing anymore, simply due to the main points above. Of course, the multiple extra women are a problem, too.

I would say this update was average, the half with triplets was good, but the other half...
After the last update i really hoped 0.3 would get the game back on track, but to my disappointment, this update made me convinced that this is just becoming an other fuck fest, with a dozen different girls.
Sadly the opposite what i hoped for, a game with heavy (sole) focus on the triplets, family drama, overcoming traumata, a good emotional story and maybe 1 or 2 other LI's, for those who want to play the wholesome dad.

How many LI's are there now, besides the triplets ?
Tiffany (the model), Mary (alas Brooke), Natalie, Mira, Vanessa, Alita (likely), cop wife (maybe)...of course all of them are falling for the MC as soon as they see him.
I can understand 1 or 2 alternatives, besides the triplets, but this is getting way too much imo.

Natalie is imo one of the worst characters, we go from, u killed my son, to i want to kill u, to lets have a coffee and finally to nude massages, all in a couple of days, with no choice.
Brooke, or Mary as i call her now, a virgin mother, really
And the cop has of course worked for FBI, with many important connections (should have guessed it, after he blocked the MC with his Beetle), also seems mental according to his wife...

The MC is another problem... he switches personality between a loving parent, to let's punish the bitch, yes i enjoy being a sadist towards Maddi, yes of course i'd love to help u Maddy, to i can't hold back my sex drive, to acting like a virgin boy with Natalie...even without the dark route, his personality shifts are jarring from time to time.
As for the dark route, this one of the worst/unfitting dark route's i have seen so far, it just doesn't fit with the rest of the game, or the MC, he seems to have a hard case of a multiple personality disorder.

the above quote alone would have screwed it for me, Just like Polarity was screwed because of the over use of potential LI's, the length of time between updates (no updates in a fucking year), the constant lies about "only a little while longer before next update", and too many others to mention.

 

[Johnny Bravo.]

eeh yk what this game is about
and i was talking about the "concept" behind the 3 paths (should have mentioned this maybe)
but yeah - i am with you - poor girls
going to corrupt nat and vic

I wouldn't corrupt Natalie she's already falling for the MC probably the Rachel or Tiffany because there is a scene with Tiffany that's hitting a possible threesome I might be wrong, but still I say hell NO! Alice is mine.

this would be a worst case scenario

[Wicked Garden]

Side characters are apart of games, sometimes I love them and others times I hate them. In then case I would rather focus on my main girls instead of the side pieces. Unless they're critical to the story, I'll probably pass on them. I know that Devs add these particular characters to give players action that's not available with the main girl yet, example: Vanessa. Plus there's the fear of blueballing players and I get why this is a thing, but you don't necessary have to have a sex scene in every update. If I'm being honest I got off more on the Allison's bedroom scene, which was just teasing than the actual Blowjob scene from Brooke. I think if Devs are creative enough they can have scenes like that, make them steamy and enjoyable without feeling the need to add multiple random women. Some players are concerned with Mc turning the "Fuck every women he sees" character, which is fair I guess.

 

[lordfridge9]

Holy Shit, there's been an update! EVERYBODY STAY CALM!!

 

[JJJ84]

Finished the update, and sigh........
Given how the previous update was, not like I was really expecting much, but still I feel this update is just as bad as the previous one, if not even worse.

My thoughts:

1) Still too many side girls taking way too much game time away from the triplets. I mean sure, the triplets are in this a little bit more than how much they were in the previous update, but still characters like Brooke, Vanessa, Natalie, and Mira, Rachel who just take far too much time away from the daughters.

2) Also, it's not like these side girls stories are even interesting to begin with. Guess one word to describe them is "boooooooooooooooooooooooooring"

3) Basically we can forget any character depth from Olivia (redhead of triplets) & Allison (blonde of triplets)
Basically their typical lines from now will be:
"Oh yes, kiss me daddy!" (Olivia)
"Oh daddy, I can let you see any part of my body, and you can touch me anywhere!" (Allison)

It's what I feared from previous update. Basically their character personalities have been flushed down the toilets at this point they're no more than sex dolls programmed to be MC's daughter, with them just not being believable characters.
Maddison (brunette of triplets), on the other hand I did find to be alright.
I did like the talk MC shared with her while watching her favorite film, but her scenes felt far too little in the overall update.

4) MC's continued attitude as well as saying time and time again "I can't believe my luck, all the girls are falling for me like I'm a sex magnet!" is just downright annoying.
And I haven't mentioned this before, but I think even cardboard has more of a personality than the MC (who seem to be the Mr perfect in every girls' eyes lol)


The game I feel really plummeted in quality since the first release.
I mean sure, Maddison still stands out as a better character, but with everything else about the game basically ranging from really bland to absolutely terrible, I sometimes even ask myself is this game even worth it now?

Even games like Midlife Crisis, which is certainly flawed, does have its redeeming qualities with its varied sex scenes, but also a lot of its characters (i.e. girls) having very unique personalities & behaviors which kept me engaged.
This game has none of that. And with the Devs basically doubling down on the bad stuff, I don't even know if it is even possible to get better (from the way it's going I'm having serious doubts).

Feels like a real fall from grace, which is a shame, since I saw a lot of potential with that first release.

 

[Majindevil]

somehow i dont understand this point systen why the hell did you get dark points for rejecting someone?
and what was with the hotel scene maybe someone can summarize why this was neccesary cause i had to skip this part i just didnt make sense to me.

I understand the disdain for side characters but there are people who play these specifically for sex scenes. Some don't even bother reading the story. Without the presence of side characters and the sexual content that comes with it, how long would it be before people start bitching about being "blueballed" like with many other game? I think some Devs feel obligated to add sexual content silence that sort of crowd.

An hour ago I came up with an idea to have the MC in my game singing a Queen song, then I play this and what happens? The characters are singing a Queen song! Dammit! Well, fuck it, my guy is gonna sing a different song anyway. Can't have too many games with Queen references.

 

[TheOtherGuyWithGlasses]

I get whats everyone's saying about choosing the dark path and where the girls are coming from but for me.... I still choose to take advantage of them. I mean, i didnt beat maddy and i genuinely care for them but... I didnt raise them, I was never a decent or 'good' guy and they fucking hot, daughters or not. Will just have to suppress the dying spark that is my consciousness going forward

If this can lead to MC and Gracie be together I am 100% in

 

[lordfridge9]

For now, the choices are a bit disappointing. What I mean by that is, it looks like if you want a harem or other characters you need to go full lust route or bunch of lust choices. Pure seems to be just rejecting everything. And my problem with this is that I believe that the devs have said (back in like 0.1) that basically everything would be the same, but the differences would be mostly in dialogue, while for now it seems that the differences are pretty major.

Wow that is a long ass paragraph to show you dislike the game you could just said I don't like the way the game turned to be you know

Yeah, but if I just said that, I wouldn't be saying why I dislike it now, would I?
If I dislike something, I'd much prefer to say why and give reasons for it (same for games I like/love, I give detailed reasons as to why I like it. I don't just say "I like it" and end it at that lol).

Wow dude not cool, but if that's your turn on kink so be it I will say this your MC is a douchebag lol.

I would get your point if it was any other game but looking at this game if feel like the Dev don't give two shits about it I mean come on they take like a year for an update while they can just listen to fans suggestions and just lower the damn render quality so it won't take that long but they wouldn't listen so why beat your heart out then
