We should stick to discussing the Story and Characters and not speculating on what happens behind the scenes

There's a lot of hurt feelings and emotion in these "facts" when you look at the crying and bitching about what the dev's should do or shouldn't, or what there Personalities (allegedly) are or not, and so on. Maybe we should all cool down here a little bit.

We should stick to discussing the Story and Characters and not speculating on what happens behind the scenes, or not. The only ones to be concerned with this (imo) are Paying Supporters, and those (should) have better places to leave their critique as here in a Pirate forum.

I'm curious where we go with the next update, if we go straight towards the next Daughter or if we get a little bit of a stabilization phase with Liz and maybe some new "challenge(s)" coming up first.
I like Radiant and have been playing it since it first started.

There is a challenge some of us face when we have been enjoying Radiant since the beginning: the promise of a great AVN that is now being inconsistently delivered and has lost some of its shine (newer creators are delivering stories and renders as good as or better than Radiant and the number of those creators is increasing).

* Sir Damned and Alorth are a great team.

* Alorth seems to be the one driving the speed of development/able to maintain focus on delivering his part of this AVN.

* Sir Damned promises and then does not deliver, including not even keeping up with his communication tool which he gave his $ supporters to 'improve' communication:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

* Finally - Sir Damned insists on using his Radiant 'identity' when talking on Twitter about non-Radiant things - politics, FF XXX, etc. which makes it hard to support him when he talks about how busy he is creating Radiant.

(FYI - Every dev deserves time to take a break but most are not foolish enough to seemingly rub their supporter's noses in how often/how much break they seem to be taking. At a minimum - his failure to understand the optics of this choice is a very bad look...)

Are most of us here complaining about Radiant's slow development speed actually freeloaders (i.e. - not $ supporters) - I'd guess yes, me included at this time.

I have supported this dev team with $ for several years but am not currently until they get their production locked down so it becomes something we (or at least me - from 'resupporting' from a $ perspective) can depend on.

We are about 4.5 years into this journey - measured in RL time - and hoping for CH 7 soon.

At this point in time, I no longer think in terms of Radiant being completed - that is some time > 2030 - RL, if it happens.

I just look forward to the happy surprise of another chapter arriving.

Cheers!! :coffee:

We are all waiting for it. Some are patient, others much less so. It's a good game and I like playing it. But I also can't completed for the end. ;)

I'll add that Dammed has a poor track record of abandoning his solo game while gaslighting his audience

It's not so much a question about if you wait, but how. If you decide to spend your time ranting and complaining .... well, that's mostly annoying for the others, but does not help at all.
Personally I prefer to just play something else in the meantime.

I both love and hate how the bar is being raised for AVNs. Really good AVNs are a lot less rare now than they were a few years ago, but there's also a pretty sharp increase in development time that comes with that quality. Most of my favorites take 6 months for an update at a minimum (many take significantly longer). I'm very quickly running out of interesting AVNs to try while I wait for updates to drop. Not sure what point I'm trying to make, but I guess I'm saying finding something else used to be easier.

Getting back on topic: How would you all rank the triplets? I'd say the objectively correct ranking is Liv then Allison then Maddie. Feel free to share if your ranking is wrong different :p

1.) Allison
2.)
3.) Olivia
4.)
5.)
6.)
7.)
8.) Madison

And personally, I'm just having fun playing an HTML turn-based combat sandbox management porn game that updates every month or so. I have access to the alpha testing for tier 4+ subscribers and even without that it's been a fun experience.

I'm not a subscriber anything to Radiant so I'll sit this on the side lines. But I understand all the frustrations, paying or not.

Sorry if you felt singled out and picked on, that was not my intention, your post was just the last with this Topic. I meant it more in a general way. I'm sorry it came across as me Attacking you.

If we talk about looks, they are really all on par for me, each has something I really find Attractive in their own way. In case of Character/Personality it would probably be
  1. Maddie
  2. Allsion
  3. Olivia
Maddie with her trauma and the "explosive" dynamic is what I honestly want to know more of the most. Maybe it's my wish to protect and "heal" her that makes her so Interesting to me idk^^

Between Olivia and Allison it's a really close race, both are rather boring to me Story wise, with Allison having more potential I believe with her Modeling ambitions and the possible Influencer stuff. While I like the "pure Love" thing you can have with Olivia it's still more of an 0815 Story so far that could need a little bit of development imo.

Besides the triplets I really hope for some bits of what happened with Jade and more development with our Assistant, especially for my darker Saves :)

1 - Maddie, she is a bombshell brunnete destinied to a glorious fate of BDSM

2- Allie is the typical blonde hot/dumb bombshell that you can mold her and make her your toy

3 - Liv is the gorgeous clingy redhair, thatdue to that you can manipulate, it´s fun

Lookwise, Maddie takes the cake, she is the complete package

Liv would be my fav in a game so far. Also Vanessa (the one we meet at the restaurant) is barely mentioned here, is she really that unpopulkar?)

Anyways my top-5:

1) Liv
2) Vanessa
3) Allie
4) Mira
5) Chelsea
...
Maddie is definitely somewhere in top-10 hahah (sorry not sorry)
