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

on discord devs said that they will release the update in may or june, no more information

He also said in June 2020 that Polarity would have the biggest update ever. And he still receives around 400 EUR to this day for that "update". Yes, that patreon page is still alive for an abandoned project. Not even wallpapers there. At this point, with all the false promises his word values zero.

I'm just sad so many hardworking devs have potential supporters not investing early due this kind of thing. The amount of adult games which ended up being abandoned and even brush the idea of scam is increasing everyday. But patreon won't care unless the money keeps coming in or people finally decide to use other platforms.

If the update is not worth the one year gap, i smell problems

And what would be something worthy at this point? Because I don't think that's possible anymore.

A lenghty update with good content on all the paths. This is the minimum.

Thanks for posting that, here's what I've taken away:

They say May-June towards the end of May and nothing will come.
They'll say June-July towards the end of June and nothing will come.
They'll say July-August towards the end of July and nothing will come.
They'll say August-September towards the end of August and nothing will come.

I'm only saying this because they stated two or so months ago that this is the last update before release in the month of May, and here we are May 29th, lmfao.

Hey devs, you have 2 days to prove me wrong... Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock.

Also, how's everyone doing? Love you guys; make sure you drink plenty of water, exercise your mind by reading and your body by being active today and everyday going forward. Cheers!

OH and you forget: they said update was almost ready by Feb or Mar this year.. here we´re 3 months after, still almost ready

Once the dev see's his patrons dropping, he may change his tune. He reminds me of that game: Come inside, dev wasn't updating the game and was milking his patrons

I wouldnt hold my candle. It will probably the same old 2/3 hours worth of reading depending how fast you do it, couple of moral choices that don't really have an impact right now except for a change in facial expressions... so basically what we've got from all updates so far.

Its hard to tell what to expect when there's so much radio silence and almost no real previews or anything like that, but I sure dont expect it to be mindblowing in any regard. To be honest I am just happy we're getting anything at all, but I am not putting my expectations high... otherwise I'll be as disappointed as I was with chapter 2

Well guys another 7 Mo. without an update and you can put a fork in her boys... She will be toast. Wallpaper won't save it then. That is etched in stone ain't no amount of subterfuge will save the girls then. Pity this VN was Damned from the start on the OP just look at the author.

Chapter 2 was very short. But the third one with the Alisonstuff and the spanking Madison scenes was nice enough

 

[ImperialD]

i'm guessing this game is dead ..... almost a year and no update

 

[CHAD-MAN]

Agreed, and I sort of remember not taking that long like from chapter 1 to chapter 2, and now from chapter 3 to chapter 4. Honestly believe the project would be back on track, guess I was wrong

Development time has increased by 1 month between each update:
7 month for chapter 2
8 month for chapter 3
expectation was 9 month for chapter 4 but we are already at 10 and approaching 11 month (July 5th 2021) and still no clear indication of a release approaching.

This is the essence of milking. Increasing the delay between updates to see at what point the number of supporters starts to drop and so far, it has not happened as 1000 people are still happily paying for wallpapers.

At least, for Radiant chapter 2, they had the excuse of their job. Since they went full time, the delay has only increased. The opposite of what was expected...

As for Polarity, he is carefully avoiding to post on Pateron to not remind current patrons that they are paying for 2 years for no content at all.

I agree, these devs are professional milkers, they learned from icstor, gumdrop... they have no shame but hey, they´re getting paid for doing nothing, so it´s their patrons´s fault as well

well they are payed to drop a wallpaper every month, at least is something xD

 

[Supersecretassassin]

Don't even try that one unless you want nasty surprises

What does that mean?

 

[PreachyLocust]

What does that mean?

You ever played AL? Let's just say that it reminds people of that one game that is uber famous for a particular reason. I never even saw anyone mention it until I played SS myself, tried my best to do right by everyone, be honest and kind, helpful, only to be rewarded by an abrupt, fucked up ending that kinda made me not want to touch the game ever again.

Unlike most it wasn't the content that threw me off. I'm more than fine with that being one of the endings. It was the way it got there. No good deed goes unpunished.

 

[hentai charley]

you both forgot to mention the James Webb telescope launch

I considered mentioning JWST, but since the original reference only mentioned the Mars rover, I decided to limit it to planetary probes.

Apparently on Alorths Discord he posted a video of himself spear fishing on vacation, so whilst the patreon's are giving these guys money every month to 'work' on the update, this guy is on a boat somewhere..

Good... that increases the chance that he has an accident....

Taking bets on July 2022 release for update.
