Update from Sir Damned from last night/early this morning:

Snippet regarding Radiant ==
I'm updating the progress tracker as soon as I post this to reflect where we're at. We're down to the last couple of scenes and it shouldn't take too much longer to wrap things up, create the chapter's ending credits and stat screens, finish the walkthrough, etc. I apologize once again that this took a while longer than initially planned, but I promise the second part of CH5 will have been worth the wait!
I'll also be posting the 4K wallpapers for the month of April tonight as well, and May's should be just around the corner. As for CH6, do not worry! As far as I'm concerned, despite its incomplete state, I consider CH5 to be a March release... and I'll be working twice as hard/twice as often to ensure that CH6 is released, respectively, by the end of August.

For those inclined to complain after reading this - have at it. Remember, many of you get to enjoy Radiant because others are paying your way :)

I much prefer an update that is later than I wanted than an abandoned tag ...

Cheers! :coffee:
I mean, that is the standard excuse/promise of Dammed, which he has not keept once over the last 3 years...
But yeah, i will have my popcorn ready.
Also you forget an important part

You seem to have missed the rest of my post - where I quoted Sir Damned, which includes his statement re: releasing the 4K wall papers. Totally unintentional - I'm sure

Cheers to more Radiant and time with the triplets!

I'll be having popcorn too, just not sharing with Maddie - she makes too much of a mess with it.

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.
Clearly the solution is for somebody yo design an easy "volunteer" client where we can opt in to donate our spare rendering power to various VN makers. My 3090 is sitting unused entirely 3 days of the week, and only gets 4-5 hours of use on the others. My backup machine isn't quite as good, but it sits idle more like 5 days of the week. If could easily set it up to knock out a few hundred spare renders for somebody, I totally would.

SETI@Home, but for porn renders!

Yeah, i would gladly put my 4090 into use if it could speed up the release of a AVN or two (like if the dev has a 3060 or something). At least until Diablo 4 comes out :ROFLMAO:

I mean I'm only currently running a GeForce RTX 2070 Super on a laptop, but if I kill some background progs before going to work, I am willing and able to help.
The only catch is the ISDN speeds of my supposed "broadband" on the mountain town upon which I live.

So we will be supporting exploration on the earth as well as the stars.

We won't be looking for just black holes, but a wide (and also narrow) variety of holes from white, brown and tan to pink.

Getting behind those holes should be both fun and entertaining! ;)

Who said the age of exploration is dead...

(TBH - this is a great idea. I don't know if it would help the Radiant team as I don't know where their bottlenecks are but a distributed network of machines doing the render heavy lifting with all work sent to a central server and then zipped and shipped to the appropriate creator... who knows! I could see this helping the Radiant team - any team for that matter - with animations since they can be so processing heavy.)

I would totally sign up for it. I can't spare monthly sub money, but I could contribute via hardware usage.

And as you said, all those holes if various color to be explored. What better pursuit?

The devs would just take your hardware you're supplying to mine crypto currency, and still deliver half of an update every 7 months.
That wouldn't be possible under the system I had suggested. It would be limited to render processing.

The whole idea is a non-starter.
I've read dozens of threads in years past where members volunteered to help out with the rendering directly to a Dev (or at least a dev-teamer). To say all volunteers were quickly snubbed is an understatement.
It seems Devs act like magicians (rebranded as "illusionists", which makes more sense) in that trade secrets are very, very secretive.

That's largely because all people can do presently basically requires having all the resources amd such. If it were more like a SETI@Home arrangement it wouldn't matter as much. Each client would receive X packets to process and send it back to the server when done.

It wouldn't replace a dev's primary rendering needs, but if it could be set up to help with the queue, it wouldn't hurt. Like any project, the most difficult part is figuring out the structure first, and how to integrate with the programs involved.

Use an ad blocker. I use the ad block browser on my phone and have no trouble downloading from them at all.

I use ad blockers as well, but mixdrop is still horrible with all of the windows it pops up and DL's it tries to sneak in each time you try to push the link.

None of the other common ones ever give as much problems as that one, and is to the point if the only option is to use that shitty site, I'll do without whatever it was.

I don't know what to tell you, man. Adblock browser, new tabs never open unless I request them.
