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

[PaxHadrian17]

Truth be told, 16-Years Later is kinda all over the place and never follows through on one plot line, while Radiant has more likable daughters and a better, more realistic and likable protagonist. All the 16-Years protagonist does is sit on his ass all the time, waiting for his step-daughters to fling themselves at him. The girls really aren't that attractive either.
Is Radiant worth the wait? I think so.
If you've ever tried making your own VN, you know how time-consuming it is to make a believable, quality VN. Composing, directing, positioning, compiling, rendering; it really does consume a major portion of your existence. So, just have patience. OR, don't. No skin off my teeth.

I enjoy both AVNs but my favorite of the two is Radiant.

For me, it is a story well told, and I think the triplets dropping as a pebble into the pond of the life of the MC would make all the ripples we've seen and more.

At this point in the story, the other women (Brooke, Mira, Vanessa perhaps) do not even realize that there is something more than the love a father has for long lost daughters building in the MC's heart.

The competition for being noticed by the MC at work has picked up between Brooke and Mira and neither understand that the 'game' has changed.

It will be interesting to see how the triplets come to accept their unique relationship with the MC and how the women outside of that circle are able to join it or form an orbit around that core set of relationships.

This story will take time to tell, and like any story I enjoy, I will Always hope for faster releases, but without any loss in quality of the renders/animations or abbreviating the story itself to just 'get something out the door.'

To my favorite triplets and more of their adventures with the MC!

Cheers!

alright so... first timer here. first playthrough was today, (still currently playing as I'm writing this lol), and I'm only a little bit into chapter 3. but I'd like to say I'm LOVING this game so far. beautiful models, amazing storyline, the english is good so far, the vastness and in-depth route the dev took on the decision-making is just stellar. it's safe to say the game's been nothing short of incredible so far. also Brooke is my fav btw, just putting it out there. but seriously, keep it up dev. you got a good one going here.

Did they give up on keeping the progress tracker updated? I don't think it's changed since before chapter 5 alpha was released. It's starting to feel like we have a long wait ahead of us for the rest of the chapter.

Nobody here would trust any tracker anyway - it's been more than six weeks, and we still have an "alpha" that hasn't been finished and released as "final'.

You are dam right we have a long wait, he went over 1100+ patrons again. He also said the chapter would have even more content than intended

wait 5 years more .

Gotta say it's weird to wait so long to go from alpha to beta. Wouldn't v0.5 Part 1 and 2 better? I believe that would make more sense.
Anyways, the continuation of the story was great and especially Maddissons path progress in has been long due.

I have to say though I don't like it that the MC just so decides to allow the girl's friend (I'm terrible with remembering names) to just live in our house and not say anything to her. Like she trespassed our house and assaulted us? If you don't wanna call the police then at least have a serious conversation with her and don't just allow it. Make some ground rules.

Best part was the cop's wife (again, can't remember names but I think it's Rachel) and us cucking him basically. Although I'd prefer it if she were to leave him, it's a cool side story I'll most likely enjoy.

One question though: Why is it that every woman we've had contact with has some sort of mental health problems and especially daddy issues? Like is this a kink in this game industry? Is this intended? I mean I don't mind but it's quite a load of characters with these sorta problems especially in this game (also count in traumata from the past).

That's just the tip of the absurd iceberg. I really enjoy this vn, but I have to turn off my brain when I'm playing it because a lot of things that happen don't make much sense. Then again, I'm really not playing this game to have my mind blown by an amazing story.

The only two games I believe have an incredible Story are Desert Stalker and Summer's Gone.
But again we're talking about AVNs, the main focus is to fuck. There isn't that many games that focus story because they won't make too much money if they don't include enough sex. There's some exceptions though of course.

I think the best selling AVNs are often the ones who prioritise the story over the sexual content. However games like Being a Dik are an exception. An exception that may devs try to replicate... Try being the operative word. Leading to an over saturated market of fuck fests, to which, feel like it should be the norm. Regardless. Give me a great story with minimal sex scenes over a lack luster story with lots of sex any day. But, hey, that's just me. I don't read/play AVNs to masturbate to.

Alpha is not full version 0.5?

No. I think that was clearly stated when they released it - just an appeasing measure like offering monthly wallpapers to Patrons, but since that wasn't doing it for anyone anymore, they put up a half-assed update instead.

 

[PaxHadrian17]

I enjoyed the last update of Radiant.

It was shorter than other releases, 'only' about 15 scenes but there was some great content and more world-building (like potentially finding a music tutor for Maddie), even though I wanted more content for the triplets.

With the return from their vacation, it makes sense that there are work activities pushing back into the MC's daily responsibilities, as well as women outside the triplets to spend time with.

The last update I saw on SS was that the next update to complete rev 5 will include a significant increase in scenes beyond the ~15 scenes we already received.

It would be nice to get an ETA and I am looking forward to the next status or rev update from the creators.

I'm holding out for more triplet time with the next set of scenes and looking forward to some additional sexy time with them.

Cheers!

Save games from 0.4 don´t work on this right? I tried and it always crashed.

So I'm trying this game for the first time but the flashes do not appear %95 of the time.Are they bugged or what?

Flashes? Sorry, you'll need to be more specefic, are you talking about orgasm flashes? Just be careful how you word it though or it may be deleted

I think they mean the flashes that occur during some of the choices. Like when you make that first choice with Bernie after he tells you not to kill anyone or when the MC runs into Olivia and Maddison arguing. I don't think they happen for every choice, just ones the dev has determined are "crucial"

Edit: Not sure why that got me a facepalm, but thanks?

nice renders nice plot , but is a trap big huge one

3 years ? 4 half assed updates ?

what is that called ? Picasso ? Vangodh?

Milker ? and doing it with double , triple intention ?

no traveling abroad again with suporters money ? no saying my poor dog my poor fish died ?

4 months at most is fair for a decent 500 renders update , but since the $%&#/"$% developers of this type are increasing on number.

fair warning to those new around , this developer is a huge lier and more .
