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

[RaBuddy]

The guy is making over $4500 a month while doing at least three or four renders a day, meaning doing almost nothing. If people are stupid and don't give him a reason to stop milking them, he'll keep doing it... and he's not stupid, just a shameless greedy man.

There is a point were more money doesn't make things go faster.
Most devs find their update times getting longer as they learn more about the craft or the story paths get more complicated.

I haven't spoken to either dev in years and when I did, I didn't know their work ethic. I can guess but really it doesn't matter.
4k a month is an okay living. Especially, for devs that can't put their product on steam, if that's correct. If they split 4k, then their flirting with the poverty line.

Really, it's fine to start this fight. Just make sure your dev times don't creep on this long and make sure you stand out from the average complainer and moral activist that makes the pdf claim.

You also want a good back and fourth going and that might have to take place on twitter.

That's where SirDammed is active mostly though... talking about politics.

Depends on where they live. Where I'm at 4k a month gross would barely leave me anything after rent. After patreon takes their cut and income taxes I wouldn't be able to even pay that.

That some people think that 4k is a lot of money when is shared between 2 people is moronic.

Especially if 4k is before taxes.

Do you really think I'd have the nerve to say what I said if I did the same thing?
Don't worry, my updates always take 2-3 months (and I render on a 2gb GTX 1050), just as I've promised from the beginning.

 

[RaBuddy]

If you are going to talk about boring shit like taxes you have to add som spice and throwing out "morons" doesn't count. I'm disappointed in all of you.

Are you here to have fun or are you here to be a worse reddit poster?

Good, I'll get the popcorn.

That's why I muted him. That was before the election shit started. He never talks about his fucking game. Personal accounts are for getting scrappy about politics. Branded accounts should be for talking about fake sex with fake women.

Mmm, interesting discussion going on here...

 

[figaro_negaro]

well lets see about 7 weeks over the update time 2 of 5 hearts done the way it's going we should see update by Dec.1

Alright, before you sharpen your pitchforks just remember that those 7 weeks included a 4 week vacation... well, now that I think about it, we should sharpen them just for that. They could've taken a vacation after the update dropped lol...

Not everybody lives in America... There are countries where 4000 dollars a month allows you to live like a king (OK, within reason, as long as you're not looking to live like Lex Luthor).

It's almost like everyone forgot how lazy SirD is after they managed to release ONE update on time. I don't think anybody that has followed this thread for a while is surprised by how this update is going.

I do wonder if it's intentional at this point. Maybe it really is laziness and SirD can't help himself, or maybe he's evaluating whether being a lazy ass and developing Radiant over a longer period of time is more profitable than putting out consistent updates.

Probably both. I mean ending the game quickly means you need to come up with a new one, and even worse, you don't know if it will do as well financially.

Yeah I have come to the realization that update will be longer than stated, as long as they don't go back to when it hit 18 months and was abandoned here, I normally add 2 months to the time stated now before it becomes worrisome don't really have a choice no sense in getting worked up over it anymore

Finally someone noticed... I live in the most expensive country in South America (Chile) and here, even half of that is way above average. And life here is expensive. Our homes are expensive because this is the country of earthquakes (along with Japan) and they must resist everything. But still, I could easily live on half of what this developer earns in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods of the capital paying rent, and I would have enough left over to save for my own house.

Great game, ignore the haters. It sometimes takes time to provide good content. Simple as that. Don't need total jackasses ruining the devs fun or creativity.

Dont like it? Leave.

You haven't been on this site long enough to know why people are bothered by this. It took 18 months for an update that was as big as one that took him 3 months right after. I do think that SD is redeemable and I do think he's putting a mostly honest effort into development at the current moment, but there's very good reason to be suspicious of his efforts.

You have literally no idea what you're talking about. Not sure why you felt we needed to know.

This pathetic comment perfectly illustrates the dangers of speaking your mind regarding a subject you know fuck all about.

Like listening to an 8 year old child talk about geopolitics.
