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

[sharkz]

It's heavily moderated. The mods are ban happy. Just checked it no chaos. Not allowed.

Yeah you're not allowed to critic or express your thoughts there

I see some people there criticizing the update but you can't be super agressive otherwise you get banned,

Chap 7 is released today, and the "true edition" patch seems empty? At this rate, Radiant finishes in 2040 according to SirD's own 20 chapter + 3 epilogues estimate. You guys gonna wait that long to see the conclusion to this? Longer development time than AAA games. lmao.

I mean that it's still going seems to be a rare thing to find

about 40 minutes of filler gameplay but virtually no worthwhile sexual content.

a year for this...

wow thanks, Now I just won't bother; I guess this is no better than being abandoned unless a lot more sex is added by 2040. If it gets delayed 20 more years, it'll match my graphics card

 

[helent]

discord is a complete shithole, i haven't used it in like 2 years & never going back

Same, tried again with people I definitely see in person to see if it could go better, big nope

Lotta hate going around with this update, particularly at the other place, but I thought it was pretty solid. I know it took a long time to finish and that Radiant is a pretty highly followed VN in these sorts of places, so somewhat understandably folks may have been hoping for either a ton of playtime or some S-Tier content to make up for the wait, but what it ended up being was a perfectly decent update comparable, I'd say, to what you'd expect from a typical 2-3 month update cycle. Nothing crazy, but I suppose to those that have been starving for more that feels insufficient. I liked it, I get why some people are disappointed, and I think some people have created something of a hate group dedicated to trashing on the dev and won't be happy with anything he does at this point. At the end of the day, hey, its a friggin porn game. Goosfraba.

It's a bit like going to a restaurant and ordering a burger, and you wait for six hours while the waiter tells you "just a couple minutes" every quarter hour. When the burger finally comes out you're thinking it better be the most orgasmic patty of your life- you've waited six hours for it. When you bite in and it's pretty solid but nothing exceptional, you're gonna be a little annoyed. Sure, the burger's not bad. But it's not good enough to justify taking six hours to get it to you. And it's all the worse when you were continually told the burger was almost done (not "we screwed up, the burger won't be done for another six hours, we're very sorry), and the restaurant staff act like there's nothing wrong with the wait.

Should see Stuck At Home and Fallout 5 around then as well.

Bet the rewritten content was far better.

Make use of the Multi-quote next time.

HA HA HA HA HA, i read a post where "one" person has spent more than $3,000 on this game since day one.
what a fucking sucker !!

talking about getting milked.

Wasn't that a joke post?

 

[Bone]

Make use of the Multi-quote next time.

How does Multi-quote work? I didn't see the other post I replied to till after. Most comments here are spam so from what Kavinsky said they will get wiped unless that only applies to forced Mod posts?

Edit: Tried to edit but a hyphen deleted a lot of text. Is multi used instead of trying to double up on the reply button and if so why not make it one button?

I am aware of the drama, I just don't personally care since I'm not a subscriber and only play when its out here for free. If the folks that are angry over these issues are subscribers, I'd say they should unsubscribe. If they aren't, then I'm not sure I see the point in getting so mad about a free porn game update not living up to their expectations, promised or otherwise.

You don’t see the point in getting so angry? You feel their rage lacks purpose — unlike the anger of Fredrick the 9th, who used his fury to fuel his ambition to wrest Prague from the clutches of the Turkish hordes. And I agree: when anger isn’t harnessed in pursuit of a goal, it becomes impotent and futile — much like Fredrick the 9th’s ill-fated four-day siege of Castle Vladistak, where his supply lines were cut off by the blockade of ships commandeered by the Turkick Laujacks during their Mediterranean conquests the previous season.
Sure, Fredrick was angry — but what good did it do him? His Gaelic mercenaries abandoned his cause to forage in the nearby forests, driven by their own furious hunger. Yet even their desperation served them poorly: they mistakenly consumed the Caephdalia Astrigiatus mushrooms native to the woods around Castle Vladistak. These fungi bear a striking resemblance to the harmless and edible chicken of the forest, but in their rage and carelessness, they spitefully ate the poisonous variety — and paid a terrible price, succumbing to sickness and infertility.

What I’m getting at here is this: anger is a black, creeping thing. It is neither friend nor foe. It does not exist to facilitate our ends, and only a fool would trust it to rise at his beckoning or be persuaded to his cause. Anger is neither an agent nor a detergent — it emerges of its own volition and serves only its own whims and appetites. If you doubt me, just look at what happened to Fredrick the 9th during his second campaign in Normandy.

This analogy should only be for people who are contributing monetarily to this project.

For people like me (who I imagine are the majority), I'm willing to wait because I have no real stake in this aside from having invested time reading and enjoying it for free, with the full freedom to look at any other project around.

A more apt service analogy would be that of a buffet, where you have so many choices to pick from, and you find that one food you really enjoy, but for some reason it doesn't refill quite as quickly as the lesser quality choices. While it may be disappointing to not get that exact thing you like, you have options that'll probably keep you satiated despite not having the perfect blend of rape and incest in it.

I'm ignoring the monetary aspect of the analogy because I can't and am not being paid enough to think of a parallel for a free versus paid buffet, but you get the idea.

TL;DR, I haven't played this update yet, but even if I found it wasn't much of anything that was added, I'd probably be fine because it's a real pick of the litter compared to a lot of recent projects.

 

[Nicest_Incest]

Oh you don't get it for 5 bucks. Now the dev makes you upgrade to the 20 dollar package to get the DL link, and even more if you want the unclipped version. . .

Then I guess I'll just come back in 10 years when it's either finished or abandoned and pay that $20-30 once. Apparently the dev never had a lemonade stand and learned the more you charge the less it sells.

 

[EnragedHam]

Lol, the dev doesn't owe anybody shit, wether you spent money or not. Any money that was spent was a DONATION not an investment. You guys donated money to dev to support him not to create a game that he can sell and you can make money back. Next time think before you decide give money away to a person you don't know who may or may not fulfill their promises stop and think about if you really believe that person is trustworthy and will deliver.

 

[verbmynoun]

Ahhhhhhhh! I can't wait for 0.7b android update!

 

[Degen Man]

Ahhhhhhhh! I can't wait for 0.7b android update!

It's already out there my man ... You just gotta expand your search radius.

 

[wellington]

Updates a bit time consuming but an amazing game, probably only one person who has other obligations so it's quite understandable.

 

[incombat]

chapter 7 true edition folders are empty. Do you even need to re-apply the new patch?
