at least he's honest about something
If someone kicked the Dev's ass, especially a paying member, I am sure that would make him more honest.

It will go from playing FF to real life

This is one of the most dumbass takes I've ever read. What should ideal case be in your mind? Wake up, work on the game to sunset, repeat?
Is he not allowed to have hobbies? Are you? You should be on the grind, you shouldn't be having time to be playing porno games.
Admittedly he probably should work on the game more, I don't know his daily work schedule and whether or not he's doing it fulltime or not, but blasting someone for tweeting about their hobbies is just fucking dumb. Especially in a forum for people who have their cock in hand all the time, we are the least qualified to be talking about productivity.

They are fulltime devs, not that going fulltime did increase the speed or size of the updates...at all.
Yeah, like he was very active in his favorite game and tweeting about it, yet not able to comunitace with his supporters after months of delay, while he was apparently seriously sick...but then, i really don't care about those who still support him after all the shit he pulls constantly.

Both devs work on quite a few other AVN's. They have been pretty clear multiple times that Radiant isn't a fulltime project nor do they devote most of their resources onto it. But let the autists keep malding, it's what makes threads that haven't had an update in a while fun.

That explains why other games also milk
(If you're dumb enough to believe everything they tell you, of course)

Dammed abandonded Polarity for this game, his reason, this makes more money and Polarity fans being Radiant fans either way...neither does he has an other game to my knowledge.
Alorth has, or at least had, some guys which worked for him and to help him with his other projects.
Eitherway this is, or at least was, their main game, which also makes the most money.
So, care to tell where all their resources are going, because it's neither Radiant, nor Neko Paradise and sure as hell not Polarity.

I think Neko Paradise gets at least a couple updates per year, but they aren't really that big either.

He does the animations as far as i know.
Kek, ftr I'm not defending the dev at all. I agree he's most likely procrastinating making the game and is being extra shitty by actively avoiding accountability for it. I know this is as a serial procrastinator myself.Out of nowhere, right?
This is why I tend to get annoyed with these devs as these motherfuckers never storyboard or draw even a rough roadmap of how they tend to work this out resulting in them running into a creative wall and usually either wind up either freezing or second-guessing themselves resulting in shitty-ass reboots.
But... y'all blasting him for playing a game? Like why? Do you really think the best possible solution for someone with an artist block (yeah, it sounds weird in the context of a porno game but it still applies) is to lock them in a methaphorical oubliette and not let them out until they've crafted something in that headspace? Ya think it'll be any good?
And I've seen comments saying the dev says he's sick but he that can't be true because he's playing video games. Why not? Speaking from experience I game the most when I'm ill, it engages a different part of the brain than the creative process.
The people making these games are still humans, sadly you can't force someone to be consistently creative or productive.

Are you kidding?
Sir D is quite ready, able and willing to make his own excuses. You somehow find your way to this thread and offer yet more excuses.
If a Dev cannot deliver a FULL update in ~3 months from the prior update, there should at least be a pause in the monthly subscription for a game's supporters. That way, whatever excuse is "created" at least has some plausibility. As far as I am aware, this Dev-team seems very much against such a radical idea.
So, your "maybe this, perhaps that" theory ONLY benefits not only the Radiant Devs, but all Devs in general.
Nice try, champ.
So you're saying Every dev should deliver a full update every 3 months or else (stop $ from coming in)?
That sounds like a one size fits all solution that ignores the freedom of choice of the adults who choose to support a dev with Their $ for as long as They want to. In addition. there are devs out there:
Being a DIK, Summers Gone, Chasing Sunsets, etc.
who don't match your artificial time constraints and are rarely accused of milking their supporters.
Are you a dev who produces a high-quality update and delivers it in full every 3 months?
If so - feel free to respond with the F95 link to your creation so the rest of the Radiant thread can choose to check it out.
Everyone here except the lowest trolls wants Radiant updates more quickly.
I think most of us would be happy if we got consistent quality updates every 4/5 months and we are obviously Not getting that.
The 3 month arbitrary 'deadline' ignores a great many things when it comes to what a dev or dev team does to create an update - especially an update once an AVN is well into its story and there are branching paths involved (for example).
It also smacks of control issues when any one of us decides that they should be the arbiter of Who deserves other people's $ and when.
Have a nice day champ.
Cheers!!
A three month arbitrary deadline for updates is a ridiculous thing to try to apply to every game, but the 12+ months this game takes to release a full chapter is equally ridiculous.
The updates are never going to be faster for this game though. They've proven that over the last 3+ years. This thread will be a happier place when everyone accepts that.

The key word is "artificial". In 2017, most games updated monthly. Things were in sync : one update in return for one monthly subscription fee. This time-frame is also the most common IRL for most larger money exchanges for the average Joe/Jane.
The other most common big-organization IRL wealth-exchange is quarterly, or every 3 months. Next would be yearly.
Without a hard-and-fast timeframe for VN production, the average interval between updates has probably drifted to at least 6-7 months (more if games like Polarity are counted). But payments have remained on a monthly basis.
The payment system, pioneered by Patreon, is broken badly for paying supporters. But for Devs, especially, the present situation is great. Less work for more money.
Not one of the several shill-posters that post in this thread will admit that supporters generally get a raw deal. In their view there is no problem to fix. Dev paradise.
Meanwhile, what is almost certainly the main cause of Dev burnout, blow and hookers or somesuch similar, is NEVER mentioned.
Losing the discipline of regular work by stalling/milking, and somehow still getting paid, is not viable for most people even if they laughably call themselves "Creators".
