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

[SD3]

Nothing wrong with having personal preferences. And yeah, the choices in this game are flexible enough (and the more taboo stuff is gated behind both optional patches and player choices) that you can avoid things that are too extreme or taboo. That's one of the benefits of offering choices.

Btw one last thing on the subject of genetics: even though the MC is dark haired, it's not unreasonable to assume he was at one point light haired. For example, I literally had bright blonde hair as a kid... but as I got older it turned more of a brown/black naturally. I also have blue eyes, while my brother and sister have brown eyes. Never dyed my hair once, so I'm not sure if it's genetics or environment that explains that, but yeah it's very possible to have blonde, brunette, and redhead genetics... much like it's possible to have green, blue, and brown eyed genetics all in the same family line.

I'm hoping the devs are reading, or someone can send this bug report over to them:

Chapter 5:
After talking with Allison, and before heading over to the neighbor, the MC receives a few texts.
- I've turned down Brooke 3 times or so, but her message is very flirty and alludes to things that haven't happened
- Vanessa messages me about our chat in the park, but I never agreed to meet her.
It looks like some checks are missing for when the MC isn't on their path.

Edit:
The variable 'van_friends' is set in chapter 2, at the restaurant. The variable 'cc7' is set when the MC agrees to meet with Vanessa.

Edit 2:
I also think this logic needs to be inverted in the text message Vanessa sends:

    if van_friends == True and van_romance == False:
        van "{color=#42F58A}Even if you got something nice out of it!{/color} ;)"

Edit 3:

# This logic doesn't work as intended:
    elif not cc7 and not van_romance or van_friends:
        jump van_stranger
    elif cc7 and not van_romance or van_friends:
        jump van_ghosted
# It's equivalent to:
    elif (cc7 == false and van_romance == false) or van_friends == true:
        jump van_stranger
    elif (cc7 == true and van_romance == false) or van_friends == true:
        jump van_ghosted
# If van_friends == true, then van_stranger will always trigger.

Thanks for reporting this. Funnily enough even though it's from Chapter 5, someone else literally JUST reported this same bug yesterday, and the dev subsequently fixed it.

So it will be corrected in the next version of the game (v0.7)

I've edited the post with additional remarks before I noticed your reply. Do you know if those edits are reported already as well?

Edit 3 seems to have also been fixed. It looks like this:

        jump van_stranger
elif cc7 and not (van_romance or van_friends):
        jump van_ghosted

But please clarify if wrong.

As for Edit 2:

This was indeed inverted/a bug. It's now been fixed. Thanks, and let me know if you find anything else, or join the game's Discord and feel free to post it in the bug reports channel.

But please clarify if wrong.

Looks perfect! The same correction is needed in label 'vanessa_incident', but I suspect the devs caught that as well.

Label 'mystery_texts' happens even if Mira was turned down. But I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug or a 2nd chance.
Feedback: This relationship is a weird one for me. I rolled back when the MC started flirting with her at the office earlier (punishment scene), to change my choice in Chapter 3.
In my mind, Mira called him out on never having spent time with her outside of the office. So I agreed to seeing her openly (after turning down Brooke, saying I wanted to keep things professional). I didn't realize at the time that this was enough to start their relationship.
I wanted to keep things professional with her as well, but also take her out to get to know her better, since I've done the same for Brooke. I probably didn't read between the lines enough.

Label 'chelsea_meeting' makes it sound like the MC is in a relationship with Brooke, even when he isn't. I considered that he's playing along with Chelsea because certain dialog does work in every situation. The disconnect starts with: "That's why... even if things for some reason didn't work out between Brooke and I, uh... romantically... I'd still do my best to make her happy."

Thanks, and let me know if you find anything else, or join the game's Discord and feel free to post it in the bug reports channel.

I might do that, though I'm already in many Discords for reporting bugs, to then never look at them again. Joining Radiant's might be worthwhile though, this is one of the best games I've played in terms of story, pacing, romance (or corruption) and player-freedom. It shows how much work the devs are putting in to actually respect the choices the player makes.

Thanks, and let me know if you find anything else,

Early in chapter 6, there's:

    elif harem >=2 and (brk_rel or brk_fwb) and not mir_rel:
        jump companion_mono

But, 'harem_tally' isn't called, so this value will always be 0.

Harem is tallied up in script.rpy under the label harem_tally

Team takes continuity and bugs pretty seriously, so if you want to keep thoroughly running through these things and posting them in the server's bug reports channel, you can pretty much guarantee anything you find will be fixed or improved instantly.

Harem is tallied up in script.rpy under the label harem_tally

I'm not an expert at ren'py, but while I see the label, I don't see it running. Even if it would run when script.rpy is loaded, it would check the tally against the default values. It would need to be called before the harem-variable is checked, as far as I understand.

You've convinced me. This game is doing so many things right, that it would be a shame to not report small bugs like these.

Ok we get it dude, you can stop now

This is a good list.

 

[trololo_lo]

If you used the onlyfunz mod like I did and now the games fucked, create a text file ending with .rpy and add this code inside and save it to the game folder. It works (on my machine). Not liable for your pc blowing up.

init 999 python:
    class WTMOD_DB():
        def __init__(self, WT_id=9999999, WT_desc="", WT_cond="", WT_cond2="", WT_cond3=[],WT_cond4=[]):
            self.WT_id,self.WT_desc,self.WT_cond,self.WT_cond2,self.WT_cond3,self.WT_cond4 = WT_id,WT_desc,WT_cond,WT_cond2,WT_cond3,WT_cond4

thank you! really works. My save from 0.5.2 was broken when trying to resume on 0.6.3 (because of wtmod_db error). And and it's not easy to find your solution, so I am bumping it.
update: also installing new Walkthrough mod can help I think

Damn, will this invalidate my savegames?

I still don't understand why the mother did not reach out to MC? Her family already disowned her, she believes MC is a good person too, kids need their father etc. She could have at least give him a call. I don't think it would be hard to find a way to reach to famous photographer.

Good point. But I have an answer to it: "So the movie can happen".

Yeah, there is no other reason. The other way around is also important, dude never tried to find people from his old life. That is more acceptable because of the trauma he had but still....

Also, earlier on, didn't the MC's parents notice that pregnant girl visiting him in the hospital? They could help her.

TBH, though, in real life relationships go cold all the time. Friendships aren't like Magneto and Xavier. I guess that's why people enjoy escapism so much... So may have just appealed to him because she knew she would die and didn't want the girls to fend for themselves.

This is also a good point. They could have look after their grandchildren but seems like they did not care.

Even if she did not feel anything towards MC, which is unlikely btw because how the girls talked about her or the letter, she should have at least make a connection so the girls can meet their father.

MC does not remember anything from his past. How the hell he was not curious enough to investigate who he was before the accident? He has some trauma over the accident, does he never seen a therapist? A sensible therapist urge him to look into his past life. He dreams a girl almost every night years long but did not even care to connect her to his past? If I were him I would have find a composite artist to draw a picture of her then went back to high school to check if anyone knew the girl, if high school was a miss I'd ask about her in the town if anyone know of her. I mean he should have at least curious about these.

Like drTheta said, she visited him at least a year, how come MC's parents did not notice a pregnant girl visiting their son? How did they never found out about their grandchildren?

Also, why mother did not reach out to MC's parents? Her own family kicked her out, she had nowhere to go with triplets. One would assume she at least reach out MC's parents about their grandchildren.

Though, answer is very clear. If any of these happened then there won't be Radiant. So it is what it is I guess.

I find it disturbing that he stopped dreaming of Gracie.

This is a daddy that is fucking his (lets not discuss age) just-met-daughters a couple of days after they lost their mother to cancer...

And this is what you find disturbing?
