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

SirDamned writes the story, sends it to Alorth who then creates all the images for the game. Is my general understanding of their workflow. Not sure who does the coding. But most of the praise for this game is the art. So if Alorth leaves the project, that major draw will disappear unless SirD can find someone else willing to take up the job and they can do exactly as well or better than Alorth's work.

Okk thanks for info bro

I think SirD does the code as well. From what I've seen of the progress updates, it seems like SirD has been doing his part. One thing people need to have in mind is that every scene takes a different amount of time to make, some are easier to make than others. I don't know if it was the last progress update that was leaked, that had like half of the scenes still unfinished and people were assuming that the update would be delayed because of that.

Probably. I'm not a regular explorer of the Discord.

I've tried making some of my own 3D art in Daz, and honestly, I don't know how some of these folks put out as much content as they do as quickly as they do. I've been writing a stupid fanfic for almost 6 years now, and it's still not done. And that's just words.

I'll be clear, I don't care how long an update takes. Playing these two or three VNs is not my entire life. I've other interests I can and do explore while waiting for new stuff. And when there is something new to play, I YAY and go play it. Then go back to doing other stuff.

Doubt that I'll ever understand the rabid need to hound people for content. Even if I'm a supporter on Patreon or SS. I understand that that relationship is not me buying their time and effort. It SHOULD be me contributing that developer a bit of cash each month because I like what they do and I have that disposable income to spend on whatever I want.

If people are supporters and are unhappy with the development cycle, stop supporting. If you believe you're wasting your money, then stop doing that. You're a grown adult. You should be able to be trusted with such decisions. But pissing and moaning about it won't make something suddenly appear out of nowhere. And for most creatives I know, it just demoralizes them and makes new content less likely to come.

My comments above were just passing on info I had from the Discord server where Alorth gave that ultimatum. We'll have to wait and see which outcome we get. I know I'd like them to stay on. The art is killer and was a major draw for me. But even if another update never comes, I've enjoyed the time I've spent on the game so far. It would be disappointing for it not to be completed, but it's not going to ruin my life if it doesn't.

Also, to be clear, I am not directing any of the rant at you BadJM. I was initially responding directly to your comment and then went off on that tangent in the middle.

Folks just need to put all of this back into perspective. A lot of this is just a hobby. And Patreon is not a contract between supporters and developers. It's ironic given the subject matter (at least of some sections here) how frequently users behave like kindergarteners instead of adults. Entitlement in the digital age is a hell of a thing to behold.

I haven't played this one since chapter 3. One thing I noticed is that the magical dick is strong in this one to the point that I wouldn't be surprised that if he met a 90 year old woman on her death bed that she would also want to fuck him right there. The only one that hasn't been affected is Maddie. The sisters were the best but I think Alita will now take first place from them.

 

[ady13]

any1 gonna share v6? or as always F95 gonna be the ones that update it first

 

[pregame]

I downloaded the true edition. There are 2 legit lolis so far and the story line is quite good. No super petite lolis but they arent very common anymore. Characters keep being added so maybe we can hope he will add a truely petite little one but if not the action so far makes this a great game

The story and personality of characters is by far the most popular thing about the game, according to polls with 300+ votes. The story saw 58% of the votes and 11% went to artwork. 23% went to fetishes and sexual content which is also mostly down to writing, and 6% went to the game's design itself. You can see that right now on their Patreon. People who trash the game's story are disingenuous

SirDammed does everything except the art and animations. That includes the game's writing, coding, marketing, managing their websites (Patreon, Itch, etc).

Despite what the rumor-mill of porn game forums would have us believe this game has pushed out 7-8 hours of content in 4yrs. It's not a lot, but it's not that little either looking at Radiant's polish and overall production, not to mention both developers dealing with personal issues and health problems. Ppl are just salty because two of the chapters took a really long time, and in the pirate world, that is like taking free candy from an angry fat baby

Ppl bitched the updates take too long. This update came out in 4 months. Ppl (not you btw) are still bitching. Chap 6 released exactly on time, March 23rd or 2 days ago global time, so ppl's doubts were def. false.

At least this game provides a story reason for it, which is that MC is tall, confident, attractive, successful and good at talking to women. Its annoying when its some dweeb or uncharismatic weirdo who all the girls immediately fall for.

We never get to see his face but if ya need evidence the MC is attractive, just look at the daughters

 

[BadJM]

I think a bigger factor than the mc just being attractive is that a lot of the girls in the game have some sort of trauma that makes them vunerable. The triplets just lost their mother and didn't have a father growing up. Their friend( I forgot her name), her only family doesn't seem to give a fuck about her, etc. So you combine that with an attractive guy that treats them nicely (if you are not a monster on the fear path) and it's not that surprising that they would fall in love with him quickly. Also it's a game and not meant to be realistic. I've played games that try to go that route and you end up with games with 5 or more years of development where you barely have any sex with the main girls.

This lol

Wanting realism in an adult video game is stupid imo. Some realism yea, but too much realism defeats the purpose of games

And this game specifically is an adult fantasy game with realistic elements, not a real-life sim. Something else is all the games Ive played where the devs strive for realism fail at it: they're not written well enough to make their stories believable, so it just ends up cheesy and forced. They also end up making the bad parts real (the girls whores we've slept with 8 people and have boyfriends, shitty and annoying personalities).

Yes, the latest version was released today over there.

I hate the term 'Realistic' or 'Realism' when used in the context of games. Because, typically, players don't actually mean it when they say it. What they usually mean and want is for a game to be believable and/or authentic rather than realistic.

Alita is beautiful and her size and looks are believable. I hope he goes after her hard and corupts her quickly. However the star is Brookes daughter and I hope Brooke is so dependent on him that she gives him her little girl and if were lucky her girls friends







bhe

 

[Nastastic]

This is the update lots of folks have been waiting for. We finally get...

Spoiler: You can probably guess...

To deflower Olivia, the redheaded daughter. Yep, vaginal sex and everything!

And there is a pregnancy route!

On another note (mods please click) according to the pics which depict the only scene in my "/images/Chapter 6/TrueEd" folder...

Spoiler: Dark route content

On the dark route the MC rapes Olivia instead. So the [rape] tag will need to be added.

No loli stuff in this version. Alita is barely seen and Brooke's daughter is MIA.

 

[-Bonk-]

Absolutely love this game, glad to see update !!

 

[Badboytw]

The patch instructions are wrong--don't overwrite the game folder. Merge.

The patch instructions are wrong--don't overwrite the game folder. Merge.

The patch has no files in common with the base game. There's nothing to overwrite in the first place.

 

[-Bonk-]

Need help.....installed update and picked up from a save point. All images with Alita and Norah are missing, i get the dialogue text but a missing image message shows up. Anyone know why or what i may have done wrong ?

Did you install the patch for this version?

 

[-Bonk-]

Did you install the patch for this version?

yes,perhaps i installed it wrong. I saw previous post saying don't overwrite game folder, I think i just dropped it into the existing game folder

 

[Myuhinny]

That is all you do drag and drop the game folder where the game folder is. Either the file is corrupted or something happened. I dragged and dropped it and everything worked fine.
