There's some awkward dialogue here and there but the story is really cool and the character design is spectacular. I just hope the whole "dumb blonde" thing gets dialed back a bit because currently she's borderline retarded.
You really can decide that there's no incest in this one — I mean, you can decide the other way, too, but come on: look at those three girls. Yes, they all look like their mom (gorgeous!), but the genetics required for a single man to father a blue-eyed blonde, a green-eyed redhead, and a brown-eyed brunette with an auburn-haired, blue-eyed beauty kind of suggests maybe that there might have been someone else (or multiple someones else!) involved. "Heteropaternal superfecundation," you know. ;-)Damn, I love how the girls look on the screenshots, but I dislike incest (real incest not step-incest) stuff, so I guess I'm sitting this one out.
Do remember that there is a non taboo version with no incest. It would be a pity to miss out what is coming like such an amazing novel for something already "fixed" to your liking.Damn, I love how the girls look on the screenshots, but I dislike incest (real incest not step-incest) stuff, so I guess I'm sitting this one out.
Een Vieze Vent Did you copy the other Walkthrough?Hey everyone, this is the official written walkthroughs for Radiant. This will probably get updated very fast, or at the same time once a new release drops!
But please try to play the game blind (as intended) before resorting to it!!!
I have made both a 'Indepth walkthrough' and a 'Quick walkthrough', the Indepth one obviously going deeper into details while the Quick one just summons up the choices and earned points.
Not at all, I got approached by Sir Dammed and Alorth way before the first build of Radiant was released to make the official written walkthrough for it (I also did the one for Sir Dammed's other game Polarity, and a few other games on here.)Een Vieze Vent Did you copy the other Walkthrough?
I do agree that 96 reviews and almost a perfect 5 star score is a tad overrated at this point.What I WILL say though is that I'm kind of stunned that version 0.1 of this has (at time of writing) got 96 reviews already... For like, maybe an hour of content which is more or less just introducing the premise! Have I been spoiled by playing more complete games or is that not absolutely outrageous? Was this on a lot of people's radars before release? Or is the Dev particularly well known?
So why the good initial reaction to the game? Maybe some are fans of the Dev's other works and are bringing enthusiasm for their previous works, sure. That's the power of a good reputation, be it from a celebrity, a band, or a game. But I think in this case it has to be something more. I came to the game not knowing of their previous works, so that wasn't a factor for me. But I think that the reason this game has gotten so much traction from the start is that it is truly engaging. That is to say that any game with naked gals is going to cause the lower parts of the brain (and body!) to react. But, as they say, the largest sex organ in the body is the brain, and I think it is the game's reach in to the mind that is key. I'm sure a trained psych person could map out all the 4F (fight, flight, feed, or fuck) responses. But for me a good game is one that makes me feel. Be it attraction, sympathy, empathy, longing, lust, loss, desire, fear, anger, the need to protect... it doesn't matter what the feeling is so long as it is strongly activated. And that's what I think Radiant is doing. And it's doing it really well right at the start. That, for me, triggers a desire to see where things go. I'm already emotionally invested in the story. I completely agree with you both, it has potential and is off to a great start. I hope it goes well from here and that it stays on track to be not just one of the great ones, but one that inspires other Devs.I do agree that 96 reviews and almost a perfect 5 star score is a tad overrated at this point.
But then again, Damned and alorth both have fans behind them from previous work they did, so the hype is there for sure. Add taht with that it's better than 80% of 1st releases you can kinda get what people are going at.
But still, at this point, it has potential and that's about it. We will just need to see where it goes.
Good start though.
I didn't mean to imply that there was anything wrong with the existing characters, I just thought it would be a fun way to eventually add more girls to the game under a similar pretense. The girls in the game are currently 18 so if they had younger long-lost maternal half siblings those would have to be at least a year younger than them, so we would have to wait at least a game year before they would be old enough to appear.What are you talking about? those three are just perfect! would not change a single freckle!
