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

[virtuvoid]

What, and make money via Patreon for that, or what? I doubt it. Given how much money Radiant was making, while he was not even working on it, the simpler, more logical explanation was that he couldn't be bothered to do anything, because "WTH, the money is coming in anyway". Until the subscriber count started dropping, and even worse, the game got tagged abandoned, making it obvious to everyone.

One of the problems with a site like F95Zone is that posters here can very much over-rate it's influence.
For instance, a game is not actually "Abandoned" just because F95Zone's artificial rules says so.
If more supporters avidly followed this thread, there would be a helluva fewer supporters. So, what's obvious to this thread's followers is hardly "obvious to everyone".
Since Radiant first dropped, SirD has done a half-assed job at development. As several thoughful posters in this thread have testified, that attitude (as seen by Radiant's lack of meaningful development) has led them to reduce/cancel their financial support. This is not the way a money-loving, very inteeligent (I try to give credit where it's due) person would behave. Not optimum.
Perhaps, IRL money problems have caused posters to think such concerns are all-important even to people who have tasted financial success ? Such success breeds madness too often.
But where is the explanation to SirD's highly energized commentary on X? Didn't even try to "hide his tracks". Seemed very much like a love affair. Being able (at least maybe) to make money doing something you love may be preferable to making even more money at something where your "heart isn't in it". His energy level says that's how it is.

Just because someone loves money doesn't mean they're good at getting it. Or even at keeping it. Commentary on Twitter is easy. Working on the game is a lot harder. There are bugs that you have no clue how to fix, you need to think of how the scenes will look, etc Plus, I unfortunately know everything about procrastination. I am lot more energetic about posting on a forum than about doing hard work that might even bring me money. It's stupid and I know it's stupid and most people who do it know it, but people aren't always logical.

Contrast the lack of polish conveyed by Radiant 0.5.2 and the amount of love/devotion SirD displayed gushing over FF16 on X.
My theory is SirD was trying to establish his cred with console game players to be able to set up a subscription blog as an all-knowing commentator about such games. Too bad FF16 was an expensive flop.
Only when that venture fell flat has he returned to Radiant. All other alibis are cover stories.

My theory... backed by Discord post screen shots here on F95 ... is that Alorth told Sir D to get back into creating his AVN or Alorth was going to jump ship and Radiant would likely die.

This is why Sir D is back to creating/advancing Radiant's story.

I don't care what Sir D does with his spare time so long as he continues telling the Radiant story and does so in a timelier fashion.

I, for one, appreciate that Alorth got Sir D back on track which is Why we got the rest of Radiant CH 5 in 2023.

Now let's see if we can get CH 6 before the end of March, 2024 - Alorth's other deadline to Sir D.

Cheers!!

Kind of wish alorth had done it little sooner but it's better late than never.
I think that he will not miss the march deadline but I don't know if he is able to keep a consistent release schedule after that.

I'm hoping that, once the March deadline is met, Alorth has a discussion with his business partner - Sir D - and they agree to a more aggressive development schedule (if they can do CH 6 in 3 months, why not 1 chapter/3 months going forward, committing to consistent delivery).

It will take time to rebuild trust and we all need someone to give us some prodding to get a move on at times in our lives - I know I certainly have.

Let's see about CH 6 by March and then future commitments after CH 6.

Cheers!!

 

[Badjourasmix]

I think that if they are able to release one chapter every 4 months that would be enough. That is what most games take to release an update.

The MC is becoming more and more daring, I like how it is evolving, looking forward to the next update

Considering it apparently has 6,7 million members, I don't think so.

Is he collabing with Elon Musk or something? Didn't know he was making an update on mars. That is kind of cool. All joking aside, we don't know how big the update will be. We will just have to wait and see. If it's around the same size as the full 0.5 it's not too bad for a 4 month update.

Does anyone have an alternative download for ghosts Android version? Mixdrop refuses to actually finish a download.

I regret playing this now, not because I hated it, but because I love it so much that I couldn't bear waiting for the next chapters. I made up my mind to never play this game again until its completion. While the story could use a tiny bit more polishing since I feel that there are moments that the story feels too sudden, too fast and a bit weird(I'm looking at you Natalie), everything else feels amazing. Renders, animations, environment, and overall feel to it is perfect for me. Totally would recommend this.


Well, I'll guess I'll see y'all in a couple of years eh? Stay Radiant (pun intended)

Well if you want to wait for the full game you better be prepared to wait at the very least, 5 years.

For. Me it is 500 h I would play a popular game for 100h trying to figure out if I am missing something easy(v rising for example) . If I break 500h then I like it and 1000(like frostpunk) then I really like it

Welp, got it downloaded but it isn't patched... The mod is included but he still calls them his wards.

Try downloading the lewd patcher file.

This is what I use and there are no wards in story.

Cheers!!

 

[Squark ⚧❤️]

Wait, hang on a sec.
So the True Edition is non-incest while the Taboo Edition is but has no hardcore content?
I'm seriously lost here.
And here's a quote from Lewdpatcher which caused my confusion.

For True Edition ONLY (no incest)

For Taboo Edition ONLY (no hardcore content)

Am I missing something? Or have I misunderstood this?
EDIT:
I read over the instructions in the patch archive.
Apparently the instructions on Lewdpatcher are if you want one or the other but not both.

I'm talking about the android APK that was supposedly prepatched (but isn't).
