And its going to remain so until we reach the 14 months timeframe. At least now we know this chapter its pretty much useless as far the triplets go.

This is one of the slowest working developers out there. We will be lucky to get another update this year.

after the alpha version comes out the full version usually takes a month or so to come out, while they fix bugs and put up renders it can take a while... and considering that this dev team isn't the fastest in the world (as they themselves said) ) it is obvious that they were going to take a little longer. Whoever thought this was coming out a week after the alpha is delusional

I've heard they're considering a name change to "Radioactive".If I ever feel cold, I know I can warm my hands on the toasty flames in this thread
What you're describing is called 'pacing'. It's a problem for a lot of writers in non-porn as well.
Basically, the protagonist of your story has wants and goals. Assuming you find his quest to achieve those goals interesting, you want to see him fulfill them, so YOU are invested as he is working on them. But it's easy to lose interest, especially if the writer struggles with making the journey as compelling as the destination.
So (especially in porno, where the we feel a biological urge to reach the 'destination') poor writers will have the character get what he wants waaaaay to fast. And then you're left with the problem of well, what do you do now? Other less talented folks will drag things out, offering no progress and stringing us along rather than just advancing the story.
Amazingly Radiant does both (it's not amazing, many incest stories fall into this trap). Let's be honest, you're here for the trips. They're on the cover. You don't even know all the other girl's names! But instead of pushing them girls forward, we stall and delay and work on other, non consequential girls.
Which leads to further problems. Now the there's so many women after the MC's cock it feels silly. And it doesn't solve the original problem. Pacing.
A much better version of Radiant would be one where the MC advances with all the daughters (let's say they start showing signs of sexual attraction). Then advances again (now, because they are all so tempted, they agree to see each other naked, shower together, etc but adopt a no touching rule), then maybe something happens (let's say their little friend shows up and bursts their bubble and they admit what they are doing is kind of weird and wrong) and things get worse (they decide to stop seeing each other naked). This string of events increases the tension, does it again, then does it a third time EVEN as it removes some sexiness options.
Then things start escalating once again. After all the urges haven't gone away, they've all just tried to repress them. Better yet, now we have the opportunity to use divergent gameplay. MC advances with just one daughter (let's say the blonde if it's lust path, the redhead if it's love path) They blow past their agreement, kiss in the shower and then mutually masturbate each other). They both agree to keep doing it, but for now they also agree to keep it a secret, FURTHER increasing the tension.
Then another girl falls (whichever one you didn't just get) but she doesn't WANT to keep a secret from her sisters, she's happy with you. She doesn't want to hide it. So now you have to either convince her, or 'convince' her, opening up dark path options. Add to that, gaining the second sister, causes the brunette to feel left out and withdraw into herself. More dark path options where you can lower her self esteem and gaslight her or try and draw her out in a healthy way.
And so on and so on. One of the girls sleeps in your bed after sex OR because she had a bad dream and a different girl almost finds out.
One of them has a pregnancy scare and you find out they don't want to be a mom, you can accept this or sabotage their birth control.
The brunette finds out about you and wants in/threatens to have you arrested based on your overall relationship. You counter based on love lust or dark options.
The story basically writes itself and best of all, it FEELS like it has direction and purpose. Whereas our current iteration is meandering and lost.
Anyway, ill wait here for the Dev team to send me their accrued cash from supporters and then use my clearly superior ideas.

"Superior ideas." Indeed!
...or these might be in some form already in the authors' heads, and you've just intelligently pieced them out together from what's already hinted at and given with a sharp inductive mind. ^^ The only trouble is that said authors got lost in the unprecedented support and moolah the game did garner, and so "meandered" fondly to further extend the game's juicing powers.
But that's my point. It's not about the ideas. It's about the speed and manner in which they are delivered. The game is faltering because it's going wide instead of deep, and in doing so slowing down instead of speeding up.

With the speed the dev is making this game, just switch over to 16 Years Later. It is the same basic plot except the MC has been in prison most of his daughters lives. That game started after Radiant and are already on 9 updates and the 10th is out soon.

Thanks for the recommendation, but this is like comparing Coke to Coke Zero. The avatars, backgrounds, transition animations, and canned moaning sounds in 16 Years Later! show an obviously lower production quality. I don't want to critique the writing because it's ESL, but a difference is noticeable there as well. Overall it's a much simpler project than Radiant, which is why they're able to spit out updates so much faster.

I suppose that those taking Radiant for free could choose to wait to play rev 6 - 9 in 2024.
It's not like it is costing them anything other than the time taken to complain.
I'm happy to support Radiant on SS and I'll be enjoying it this year!
Cheers!
I was going to post a snarky remark but this is more appropriate.
