They had better not pull a Mario 2 on this.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....

everyone knows that it takes time, more times others works, the devs are working on this project and on their own project in solo, so it's normal to have less updates for this single game...
I dnt wanna sound disrespectful but I think dev earns enough to even hire freelancers to help him and not go working on other side projects when you can't even provide updates to your game in good time . Radiant is his main game and not some side project anymore and I am pretty sure he isn't having a Job to go to and yet it takes such long time for an update. Maybe I am wrong about him being lazy, but all I am saying is instead of going for 1000 renders in 7-8 months with stretching things unnecessarily , it would have been better to provide 500 renders of good content within 3 months. Then again as I said above its upto the patrons what and who they support.
the decision on how many renders to release depends only on the dev, if you agree with him cool support the dev, if you don't agree don't support him. this is for radiat's devs and for any onther dev, you are her on a site which give you for free the complete game, i don't think anybody here has rights to tell dev what to do. but of course this is my opinion. i don't know what is the real motivation of this time, but i thinks the devs are doing a great job and trying to give us the best they could fastest they could
yeah you are complaing for nothing, if you are a supporter talk with dev not here, if you are not a supporter don't complaing
First: this is the side project as it came later.
Well, one is 143 renders per month, the other 167 (rounded numbers), not that much of a difference. However I do not agree that "number of renders" alone is a good indicator of the work getting into a game. You can set up a scene and let the PC do the hard work of rendering - or you can spend quite some time fiddling with the scene first, making sure that the pizza MC is eating isn't flowing in mid air, that there is something on the table in the background so the scene looks more lively and so on, and only then start rendering. And maybe do multiple renders for the same scene because you want to see the resulting images if you put the camera a bit lower and to the right in the final product.
I don't think (not 100% sure) that Polarity updated since Radiant came out, it looks like it was dropped since Radiant became a success. I'd say Radiant became the main project at that point.
It did update once since then, I think, but of course is abandoned by now. Still, this game at least started as a side project and anybody asking the devs to stop working on side projects would negate the very existance of it with that. And - abandonment notwithstanding - the patrons of the other games have more rights to complain if their game gets sidelined without warning, while those of this game knew from the beginning that other stuff is/was going on.
Dude, I fucking hate those kinds of endings where everything was just a dream. It just makes the game feel like a huge waste of time. The big problem with the story right now is that the dev decided to do way too much, way too early. The cop character feels really unnecessary this early in the game. I think they should've let the player know and interact more with the girls first and then slowly start adding all the side characters.Agreed. Outside if the triplets, the story sorts of falls a part.

That is probably true, but "soonish" at this pace means that best case scenario we finish dealing with him next year. Unless of course they somehow start releasing either very frequent updates or huge ones.
It's just my take on it because it reads like a teenage boy's fantasy .
I personally don't care that much for realism in these games, but yeah stuff like the mother of the kid being attracted to him right away feels weird. It should be something that takes a while to happen. The imamaculate concepetion doesn't feel that weird to me. I can see a woman who wants to have a kid but has no interest in having a relationship with a man going the route of a sperm donor and artificial insemination. The more realistic route would probably be adoption but I understand if the woman wanted to also have the full experience of going through a pregnancy so it doesn't feel that implausible to me.
It probably is just an unrealistic plot, but theoretically there could be a twist where it turned out that the mother of the dead kid wasn't really into the MC at all and was just getting close to him as some sort of elaborate revenge plot in order to help the cop gather evidence against him, or something like that.
