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

[JohnnyFlex]

Unfortunately for us who like this game, their 'other' projects (both their own main games and the side work they accept from other Devs) take up too much of their time already and are also very successful being supported on Patreon/SubscribeStar, so there is little incentive to drop everything else and focus on this game. Believe me, I am just as frustrated and sometimes wish I had never discovered this hidden gem given the lack of support in updates. The silver lining however is they typically try to make up for it by releasing full 'chapters' of the story per release, only they seem to be putting out these releases semi-annually... iirc, we had only 2 updates last year so there's that. I don't really consider custom/non-canon renders as reliable content to justify my support on Subscribe Star, but hey, that's on me for not learning my lesson.

Do you know what their main games are? I'm kind of intrigued now. I've probably played them already, 'cause it feels like I've played every game worth playing on here.

Waiting for the good ones is such a pain, this one included. Especially as of lately, it feels like the good ones are taking longer and longer to drop updates, and I get it... But from the consumers standpoint, it sucks.

The worst is when a good Game get an update but the update then have only a playtime of 30minutes or so

I was just saying that about Unleashed. Dev of that game had a base case of Covid-19 though so it's understandable.

 

[BadgerBravo]

Anyone know what Daz models / morphs are used for the characters?
It's a shame there's no Fan Artwork thread for this game.

 

[HogRocket]

you know, I'm usually not one to complain about long update times. I fully understand about life getting in the way of side projects and that things like this are resource and time intensive. This isn't a comment just on this game, but this game falls into the category of - "if the update takes too long, I lose interest in the story and end up not caring if it does". There are other games that haven't had an update in twice as long, but the game was further along and I have much more investment in the characters, plot and settings; so I'm still looking forward to them still. I hope things work out because I remember this game having promise.

Alorth's main game is Neko Paradise, which I'd recommend checking out. I didn't even know I was into nekos until I played that one! Alorth is a very talented dev, so he does frequently get involved with other projects creating the renders.

Radiant doesn't seem to be a side project for Dammed, though. He was working on Polarity when this started, but it hasn't been updated since June of 2020 and has since been marked as abandoned. The story is good, but the art (old-style 3d renders) isn't my cup of tea so I never got all that into it. If he's working on anything besides Radiant, I haven't heard.

Anyone can check the Polarity thread for latest status, FYI. The Dev has stated he's been working on the game's (massive) update for some time.

Pretty sure Radiant's is basically Damned main game while Alorth does what he does, meaning animations and a couple character modelling. So this shit taking too long is Damned fault pretty much all the way, as Alorth works on a shit load of other AVNs and never delays a thing afaik. Poor Polarity sobs fans got robbed because Radiant got a huge debut but then get updated once every year.

And quite frankly, ever since episode 1 its been quite the disappointment. I'd abandon this game myself if not for the triplets, whom are pretty much the only good thing in this game, since the story took a nose dive

Basically, you won´t abandon the game due to the only thing that mattered since the beginning, the Triplets.
I doubt anyone here is playing for the story, but for the desire to do stuff with the girls, like spank that Maddie´s awesome ass

I play it for the Story ^^ Because its a good one

I think the story builds up tension and desire to do stuff with the girls.

Tbh i play the most games from here for the Story. Ok there are a few exceptions where i play games for the "lewd" stuff

 

[Jorjor69]

Frustrating indeed. My once-burning interest for this game (one of the most promising and most awesome on the 'cest genre) is fast waning away... And i bet, I am not alone who felt that way!

 

[Cartageno]

Yeah, add me to the "story first" list. Without a decent background story to make the characters, scenes are just bad porn images. This by the way is the main reason my enthusiasm cooled down - first release was an incredible start but then it went downhill and in parts started feeling without direction, girls getting close to MC too quickly and so on.

I will admit that the triplets drew me here first and convinced me to have a look.

 

[White Lamp]

Update time for this game is absurd. But on the plus side, I now know what to say when employers asks me: "where do you see yourself in 5 years".

Answer: "With any luck, 2 updates of Radiant...."

 

[Qixoni]

I agree with this, it was poor wording on my part. I meant more like the triplets are what keeps us here and keep doing stuff with them, if possible, if the updates allow it.

Story is the most important thing for this kind of game, setup, development... But if you pay attention to the story it's not *that* good. It makes us like and empathise with Gracie and the triplets fast, but if you replay it and are not as blinded as in your initial playthrough you see it has it's issues. The policeman part, the waitress, Brooke being suddenly a mother...

Agreed. Outside if the triplets, the story sorts of falls a part.
Like I mentioned many many posts ago, it's playing out like an adolescent fantasy and if we ever come to the conclusion of the story, that's what it will be; a dream while mc was comatose. Even the name "radiant" lends itself to that premise....
