For me I like a lot of what this game has so far, its just unfortunate that this is going to be multiple years of a slog to see it getting far into it. Does dev have a day job aside this? Makes total sense if so.

Every 4 months is a reasonable timeframe given the size, complexity, and production quality of this game's official updates (for a two man team). If you actually break it down and compare it to (most) other games: their size/length, branching (or not), production quality, and team sizes... 4 mo. Radiant updates is very much in line with other games and makes complete sense. The only way to speed this process up would be to hire additional writers or coders, but this is more of a passion project so the game's writer/designer doesn't wish to outsource.
It's unfortunate that some of the updates took way longer than 4 mo's, but that shouldn't be the case going forward.

You mean all other updates, except for the recent one, took 7 month and more...it is yet to be seen if they can put updates out regulary on a 4 month base

LOL, it's only terrible because you don't like it.

I mean, how is that a legitimate response? "I adore it but it's utterly awful" is a thing you regularly encounter?

Well, I obviously understand that you're deep in your feelings regarding Jimmy Kimmel. But his current aspect isn't what Radiant ranted against, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the game or its story, so I will leave you to your aggro while continuing to insist that Kimmel and Radiant aren't particularly relevant to each other, and one shouldn't have been connected to the other unless the dev was trying to score a political point. Which missed, becuase it was so irrelevant to the story being told.

Well that's really annoying, I had posts cleaned up by the mods that had absolutely nothing to do with politics and took me a while to write out (they were feedback on the game btw). Thanks for that.

Yes. By going a very specific dark route, with specific choices, her first time is non-consensual.
To repost what I wrote, because I'm annoyed. (And it will never be as well written as it was the first time...)
I'm glad I never tried out the darker paths, because by the sounds of it they get pretty... heavy. Although given some of the other content in the game I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I tried out one of the less nice options early on out of curiosity with a rollback and yea... I just like to be nice I guess.
This makes some of the choices in the game pretty difficult though, the developer really tries his best to get you to have sex with as many of the girls as possible. I knew immediately that I wanted to turn down Brooke, because I was really only interested in being exclusive with the triplets, but the game gives you like four ways back in and every successive turn down just makes you feel worse and worse. So I am now in a friends with benefits relationship against my will. And it's not just Brooke either, their backstories definitely make the girls a lot more interesting, but they really backfire when you don't want to be interested in them.
I mean... sure, but it's not a forced harem (god I hate those), technically every girl is optional. I just want to be with my pretty, $girls_age year old daughters man, although Allison makes me more than a little uncomfortable at times (which is a shame since she has the best assets). Why is the writer torturing me like this.Well it is a harem style game, I guess it's kind of expected maybe?
If I had to pick only one girl though, Olivia is so far ahead of everyone else it's not even close, and was from the start. Maybe there'll be an exclusive end for her (and others) one day, I'd definitely do a playthrough of it.
There's ditzy, and there's mentally defective (I'd use the proper word but mods might clean my post again). I had the same issue with DMD.
It makes the relationship both feel incredibly one sided (she's really not able to be there on the same level emotionally, in contrast to someone like Olivia for example), and like I'm taking advantage of someone who cannot know better or think for themselves.

Yeah, sadly this game will always lean towards/be strongest for those on the harem path. Unfortunately, between the tiny amount of people who don't go full harem in a game like this and the sheer amount of extra development work that would be required to (coherently) make platonic or triplet only paths... it's just not really feasible to go too hard with it. So in that regard, it makes sense to nudge players towards harem.
I can fully understand and even agree with a mandatory triplet harem, it makes the most sense narratively, excluding any of them is asking for trouble. And the others are all, seemingly, optional already (if you have the heart for it). It just feels a little bad that Allison is the way she is (not enough to make me stop though).
So while an exclusive route for Olivia (or whoever it is you like the most) would be nice, I really don't expect to see it. I'm sure we'll get a nice ending for each character regardless of exclusivity anyway when the game is finished in 2030. The developer is not shy when it comes to one-on-one content, despite the game's obvious harem pathing.
