Unfortunately, supporting ANY Dev under a recurring subscription model is a recipe for evermore scams.
When I became a member at F95Zone, most games updated monthly. That was completely in sync with a monthly subscription.
Sure, games have much more "add-ons" these days such as mood music, semi-elaborate animattions, and voice-acting. So then, stretch the time-frame to quarterly (every 3 months) rather than monthly for a fresh update. Smaller updates? Beats the hell out of no updates.
IRL excuses are just too easy for Devs to make up. If they are late delivering an update, pause sub payments to help establish credibility. SirD still has not paused subs for his other game, Polarity, which is long dead.
I can't see the no-fault recurring system lasting much longer. Not enough replacement supporters to offset the disillusioned ones.

Voice acting, no. Very few games have VA and it's mostly AI.

this one update per year is becoming a trend with other AVNs as well. i just cant understand why people would still support this games with the lack transparency.

There is big difference for 1 year update between Radiant and BADIK for instance. DPC is a real pro and is very transparent with a weekly report, and the updates have several thousand renders and dozens of animations

Helping the hotties have voice acting.

In almost every game I've played that has had voice acting, the result has been terrible. The one exception is "Projekt: Passion". The voice acting in that is brilliant and really adds to the game.

I can't imagine adding voice acting would help Radiant, since the writing has been heading off a cliff in quality since the early releases. Voices added to bad writing is just twice as painful to sit through.

So where is the update. I know it has not been any one in 1 year now. But where is the developer of this game? Sick or dead.

I so much love the Allison Bikini Wallpaper on page 1, which is not in the game files, I guess it's a extra.
I bought the public version on itch, but not so much for the lewd scenes, but for more posters or pinups like this one.

Has anybody more extra wallpapers like this from this game and is willing to share?

not to mention it would be yet another thing for them to procrastinate on and/or use as an excuse for delays

Correct.
But you could also say the same thing about monthly wallpapers, mood music, and Discord.
The entire rationale behind all this non-canon stuff IS to procrastinate and delay delivery of the actual game.
Most people, including myself, were against mood music in games when that became standard 5-6
years ago. Just to read SirD gushing over the voice-acting in FF,etc., etc. should alert players that voice-acting will soonish become basic in AVNs as well. Players can like it or not.

The state of the current market for these types of AVNs is essentially defined by a business model with absurdly misaligned developer incentives. Also, frankly, I don't think there is a single aspect of FF16 that SirD hasn't gushed over at this point...

Apart from the professionalism/work ethic of the game's director, Yoshi-P, the seriousness with which he takes on the responsiblity of stewarding the IP, the respectful way he treats the fans of FF14 and 16, his honesty with the fanbase, and his sincere efforts to do right by them.

I'm actually surprised that more AVN devs haven't just started using AI voice emulation. Although I probably shouldn't be giving them ideas. That being said, good VA can be transformative for some content. As far as SFM/R34 animation I think it's absolutely critical. I think the expense associated with it will prevent it from becoming as unbiquitious as mood music. Best case, I would see it becoming the kind of thing that gets added in retroactively by a dev after the game has already become popular. Overall, I think it will still be something you only see in the most popular/well organized/high prodction value VNs.

I'm actually thinking to becoming a short time member to get the wallpapers. There is an easy way to prevent that :D

I doubt it. That could become an excuse for procrastinating ("I like to-o-tally can't find anyone willing to do the voice acting" or "I need to get to xxK a month to be able to afford voice actors"), but other than that, that would involve additional expenses which few developers could afford. Although that could mean major players could move into this space driving the hobbyists out, who won't be able to pay for the costlier development of games.
I think NLT games have voice acting, but other than that, who else?
