I agree with most of what you said, but we can't pretend that development of Radiant would be going well even if Sir Dammed was 100% healthy. I can say that with complete certainty because the update cycle was terrible long before he got sick, or whatever happened to him.

Yeah, I can see these guys going to a life insurer and they get asked "What do you do? I'm a pron game developer on Patreon". "Sorry, you are not eligible for a life insurance policy."
Why, the nerve of these people... I suppose you're one of those guys who thinks unpaid internships are somehow a privilege?
If you look at my posting history, you'll see that I am active on far more than just the Radiant thread.
If you have actually played some of the VN's where I post regularly, you will also see that I am an active member of those communities.
Your question above - whether or not I am one of the devs, sarcastic or not, is irrelevant.
I like Radiant and I have no issue with declaring that or having certain members of this community find fault with it.
I understand that my support - both verbal and $, seems to bother some here and I am fine with that.
I support a number of devs, in some cases paying it forward and in others, giving support well after they have completed a particular project, just as a thank you.
I don't tell anyone here to do the same - I just go with what works for me.
I am looking forward to the next Radiant update, whenever it happens. For that to occur, Sir Damned needs to regain his health.
I hope he does and soon.
Have a great weekend!
Cheers!
I understand where you are coming from.
I have not played the other VN so I have no history with what was done/not done.
I remain hopeful for more Radiant.
Continuity of creation is not normally something most creators include in their working relationships/part of what their supporters understand and support.
If Sir Damned does not recover, then we will likely lose Radiant.
I could hope for something like:
Robert Jordan arranged ahead of time with Brandon Sanderson to complete the Wheel of Time because he did not think he would live long enough to do this himself - major health issues at the end of his life.
I am aware, tangentially, of perhaps one AVN creator who arranged for someone else to take over his vision and carry on with the story after he passed, and the name does not immediately come to mind.
Thanks for a reasoned response!
Cheers!

It's funny, I would rather think that you are one of them, because you keep this thread afloat with posts like this. After all, the negative attracts attention to the game even better than just a plain boring “I like this game.” And yes, PaxHadrian17 has been active in many other threads for a long time and, judging by his posts, he does not strike as one of the devs of Radiant. But it's so easy to overlook it if the only topic you're interested in is sharing traumatic milking experiences over and over again.

Laziness is hard to cure
He was supposed to work twice as hard to release v0.6 in august, guess working hard is not for him
Don't kid yourself. He's not important enough for me to read his profile. I mean if he actually posted anything else but smarmy "I drink my tea with my pinky up" responses "I love Radiant no matter what", I might. As it is though...

if it didn't you'd pretty heartless ... at least it reminds you .. your a good person
Yep, if having a patreon active for a game that was abandoned 3 years ago isn't a red flag, then I don't know what it is.
What pisses me off is that this kind of bullshit hurts hardworking devs who comply with their promises. It's normal for fans to be discouraged to support some devs because these scams continue to happen.
Even if I'm on a pirate forum, I always try to encourage people to be patient when some delays may happen, specially if the dev shows commitment to please his fans. I believe I have a shred of common sense, and there are many devs there who deserve every cent. This one doesn't at all. He was always known for this, I was even called a troll for calling out his milking.

Unfortunately it's downhill from there.
I dont disagree.
In a universe where time wasnt an issue, and the dev ever went back and redid SL with lesson's learned after finishing TftUV, i'd absolutely replay that sucker from scratch.

For many players, the opening update was the best story-wise. Not as tip-top since.
I prefer 0.04. Lots of beautiful skin.

Even the wallpapers are not on time anymore, including no info or explanation. I think it's best to all move on from this game, including the dev(s).

Man, reading all these posts, I really hope the dev does follow through and keep this game going. I have definitely enjoyed it so far
