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

That's why off topics exist so players can vent there while others that do want to talk about the game regardless of how often it's been updated can enjoy without spamming circle jerking, even though I agree with some of the critiques.

That's one take on it. I find when there are no content updates and people talk about the same "which love interest is best?" and how great the (minimal) plot that is present over and over again to be circle jerking.

On game threads that have actual reliable content updates it's not an issue; there is actually something to talk about. Other wise you end up with people complaining about lack of updates and the white knights defending the dev's latest health/tech/global calamity reason for the lack of updates.

Ideally the game updates and we get something else to talk about...the actual game. Here's hoping it happens.

When is the next Update?

I mean we could go back to talking about how the cop character is horrible and unnecessary.

I plan to discuss that in depth (so to speak) with his wife actually.

It has been so long since I played this game, that I don't even remember what she looks like.

GRIFTING has such a nice ring to it. Wouldn't you say.

So, nothing this month either?

So, nothing this month either?

In the recent past, such as just before 0.5a dropped, it was very noteworthy that a large (>10%) drop in Patreon revenue caused that rushed mini-update.
I was hoping for a repeat performance this month since Patreon revenue has declined much more in the last few months. Also, since 0.5a was supposedly ~70% of a full update, 0.5b was that much easier to do.
Instead, all players are now at a crossroads regarding future Radiant development. It very much appears that SirD is trying to transition himself into a paid-for console game reviewer. If that has "legs" it's goodbye Radiant.
Either SirD soon announces his future career plan on Twitter/X, or a long-overdue progress report is sent to long-suffering Radiant supporters.
Unless this is more of a systemic VN problem (IRL personal financial sanctions against many Devs causing widespread chaos) rather than a specific Radiant one, I can't see much hope going forward.
October (no update has dropped past the 11th of a month and SirD has confirmed this as intentional) brings another possibility with a fright-night non-canon Radiant episode.

For the tl;dr people--it don't look good...

The guy said that this update would be much longer than it was suppose to. But yes, i guess doingtwo playthroughs of FF trash was more important than deliver antyhing at all concerning his own game. Good for him, sucks for us

When he does abandon, at least someone is going to make a similar game and fill the void.
Triplets with corruption and some toppings extra.

HE won´t abandon, the money is to nice to have. But it´s really sad. This game has some much potential. And i want to see Maddie doing naughty stuff dammit

When did 0.5 alpha originally drop? It says "more this month"... which month was that? I'm loving the Brooklyn romance.

It's in the OP.
March 7 on this site.
That 0.5a was supposed to be ~70% complete. The remainder was "promised" by early May....

Thanks! So, yeah, pretty much looks abandoned at this point. Sad, was a pretty good game.

Nah the game is not abandoned. They will just keep releasing just one update per year. We already go one in march we can't be greedy and expect them to do their job and release more content.

Oh, well. I'd say "I wish you're wrong", but 6 months radio silence indicate that either you're right or I am and it will be a long time in either case. Really enjoyed this game, tried Sunshine Love after this and was just "ungh" at how utterly bad it was compared to this one. Just closed and deleted it after like first 10 minutes, couldn't stomach it's simping anymore. Then again, I should've known it would happen, cause MrDot's games are always like that. Makes me appreciate Radiant all the more and I think I'm gonna replay it with different choices.
