VN Ren'Py Radiant [v0.7.1] [RK Studios]

[PaxHadrian17]

I am not against giving devs the benefit of the doubt, but in this case it's really hard. I don't even like the milking meme but he has a game that it's abandoned and he still has the patreon page for that game, active, despite the fact that the last update was 3 years ago and there is not evidence that he is working on that.

I understand where you are coming from.

I have not played the other VN so I have no history with what was done/not done.

I remain hopeful for more Radiant.

Continuity of creation is not normally something most creators include in their working relationships/part of what their supporters understand and support.

If Sir Damned does not recover, then we will likely lose Radiant.

I could hope for something like:

Robert Jordan arranged ahead of time with Brandon Sanderson to complete the Wheel of Time because he did not think he would live long enough to do this himself - major health issues at the end of his life.

I am aware, tangentially, of perhaps one AVN creator who arranged for someone else to take over his vision and carry on with the story after he passed, and the name does not immediately come to mind.

Thanks for a reasoned response!

Cheers!

You sure you're not one of them in disguise?

It's funny, I would rather think that you are one of them, because you keep this thread afloat with posts like this. After all, the negative attracts attention to the game even better than just a plain boring “I like this game.” And yes, PaxHadrian17 has been active in many other threads for a long time and, judging by his posts, he does not strike as one of the devs of Radiant. But it's so easy to overlook it if the only topic you're interested in is sharing traumatic milking experiences over and over again.

I am looking forward to the next Radiant update, whenever it happens. For that to occur, Sir Damned needs to regain his health.

Laziness is hard to cure

He was supposed to work twice as hard to release v0.6 in august, guess working hard is not for him

Don't kid yourself. He's not important enough for me to read his profile. I mean if he actually posted anything else but smarmy "I drink my tea with my pinky up" responses "I love Radiant no matter what", I might. As it is though...

C'mon guys let the sick man enjoy his Final Fantasy game...

Yep, if having a patreon active for a game that was abandoned 3 years ago isn't a red flag, then I don't know what it is.

What pisses me off is that this kind of bullshit hurts hardworking devs who comply with their promises. It's normal for fans to be discouraged to support some devs because these scams continue to happen.

Even if I'm on a pirate forum, I always try to encourage people to be patient when some delays may happen, specially if the dev shows commitment to please his fans. I believe I have a shred of common sense, and there are many devs there who deserve every cent. This one doesn't at all. He was always known for this, I was even called a troll for calling out his milking.

Unfortunately it's downhill from there.

The only thing where SL in better than TFTUV is the dynamics between the MC and his LIs. In SL he mainly concentrates on his family plus some side chicks, but in TFTUV it's all over the place. The SL mostly concentrates on the lewds and TFTUV on the story, so the sexual content in the SL seems to be more plentiful and concentrated. I find Adriana and Sasha from the SL to be among the sexiest girls from the games I played so far and TFTUV has nothing of their kind.
To put it short, as the whole product TFTUV is miles ahead but for description of the lewds and love dynamics I prefer SL as for me the text is at least as powerful as the images.

I dont disagree.

In a universe where time wasnt an issue, and the dev ever went back and redid SL with lesson's learned after finishing TftUV, i'd absolutely replay that sucker from scratch.

That sounds ominous, bad as in feels or as in story?

For many players, the opening update was the best story-wise. Not as tip-top since.
I prefer 0.04. Lots of beautiful skin.

Even the wallpapers are not on time anymore, including no info or explanation. I think it's best to all move on from this game, including the dev(s).

One month later....

 

[rampage97]

Man, reading all these posts, I really hope the dev does follow through and keep this game going. I have definitely enjoyed it so far

Meteor being pulled in by the gravitational force created from the MASSIVE update.

Yeah, that's not going to happen. He already did the same with Polarity, and still has the Patreon active for that game.

Yep, he's getting money for an abandoned game besides this one for 3 years. Deal with it.

 

[tazaaron]

I luv this game, dont get me wrong. I supported Polarity at one point and was told the update was that week at the time. It was 4 months later. And that was the last update ever.

Dont expect anything, lazy dev. If you want to support great but dont expect anything. This will not change and in a few years when he returns to the work force, no one will hire him as he has been out of a job for a few years. Lazy dont pay in the long run.

That honestly sucks, I understand people have reasons to stop developing a game, but at least be transparent about it and don't fuck with false promises and don't take peoples' money.

I know that's been said a million times, it's just frustrating

If you want to support great but dont expect anything.

Or support something that does deliver on updates in the form of bugfixes and occasional new content like LonaRPG.
