you were wise not to say what year
Maybe Radiant 's creators are holding off on posting the next update until they lock down a DMCA service to immediately strip any links to their latest rev so that those here who are Owed free Radiant revs will have something else to complain about. 
Last I heard, the two devs behind Radiant are working on their own games as well. Radiant is, to my knowledge, a side-project for them both, and thus I don't really expect frequent updates. Sucks, but that's how it goes. No reason to scream about it on every page of this thread. Especially considering when the thread was updated last.
It does seem like January might be a little too early of an estimation though, and probably more like February or March, judging by the other release times.

A side project that generates twice the income they get from their main projects combined. And one of their early goal is "to release updates faster". Ok they didn't define faster than what... but were they really planning an update once a year or slower ?
It hardly matters who/what gets more. They have an obligation to their main projects as well, even if those get less.
And what's with this forum and white knighting for Patreon supporters. If they think it's too slow, they should stop supporting it, that'll send the message loud and clear. But don't sit there and defend other people's wallets, that's just ridiculous. They can make their own decisions. And if you are a supporter, cancel it and show your dissatisfaction.

Polarity hasn't been updated in a year and a half.
Okay, and? Stop supporting him/them, was the point. I'm not defending any of the devs, but we're not privy to some special info here, and who people choose to support is up to them.
In fact, if people are still supporting someone that hasn't released anything for over a year, I'd call them stupid, but again, that's not really my concern, it's their money, not mine.
I like Radiant so I support it with my wallet. If others chose not to - that's their choice. If some of those who complain here want to facepalm me for not joining their lemming crusade - facepalm away, it's not like a facepalm or 20 will ever change my mind and if their facepalms help to create the safe space they need, so be it.

I think this goal is mooooar important...
"The last repayment cycle really hurt us, as we lost nearly 400 patrons during card processing. Help us climb back!"

The basic approach is "I don't like how it's going but there must be a way to change it for the better". In truth, that is highly unlikely to happen. All we can do is take what will happen as given and then decide for ourselves whether we like it or not. You generally can't change the music a radio station plays, you can't get your favorite restaurant to do "free lunch fridays", and you probably can't get the game you want the way you want. The companies/devs may think differently and others won't see the problem, they like the shitty music in the radio.

If they really want their 400 patrons back, they have to work hard and set up a faster release cycle. Not just a simple goal for their glory and fame "If you feel like Radiant is a game that deserves to be in the top 100 adult creators, or that the content we produce is worth your coin, please consider pledging for just $5/mo so we can reach this goal."
A lot of people can't or don't want to support each month for nothing, and so only pledge when there is an update. You have to take them into account, it's still better than those who pay nothing. So faster release = more support

Are there any progress updates or any sort of communication from the dev? I'm not a patron but from what I've seen all they do is making wallpapers or renders.

I am trying to decide if the plot makes sense or is in any way believable (lucid dreaming aside)...
jury is still out
meanwhile, Norah is the best thing in the game..she can crotch punch the MC any day of the week, for all I care.. it's hilarious.

Don't give the devs any ideas regarding a "dream within a dream" because if we start going down the road of an Inception plot it's going to take at least 11 years an update. In which case... you would wish that you were in a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream so time is severely distorted and 11 years feels like 3 minutes... Unless of course, we are simply in a dream now, waiting for our preconceived idea of what a dream is for Chapter 4 to be released soon.
Is this the point where I lay my head down on the railroad track and wait for the train? Shit... where's my totem?
I will not be surprise if they pulled a "Dallas" on this one. they have all the elements for that one.
Every time I read that's the writing is incredible for that game, I always ask myself which parts... The mother that think it's a good idea to send her three daughters to a stranger, the three daughters that though it was a good idea, the grieving mother that want to fuck the killer of her son, the assistant that decided to be a single mother for breaking loneliness or the cop neighbor that live side by side with a millionaire....
Oh yeah, the MC that will end up fucking his triplets... Obviously it's the latter one, there's a reason why I'm reading this thread.
The writing makes the characters lovable and easy to empathise with. If you start thinking about it too much it has some holes, it develops too fast sometimes... But credit where credit is due.
