Radiant CH5: Progress Report #4

Hey everyone.

First of all, sorry it has been a little while since I posted any official communication. The plan was to have CH5's beta wrapped up at the beginning of this month at the latest, but as usual life sometimes throws curveballs at us.

I'm usually fairly private when it comes to discussing my health and wellbeing so I won't go into detail, but to keep it vague, I got sick and let's just say things we're very dire for a while. It was something that could...

One last report before CH5's launch!

Hey all, as you can see we're a little down to the wire here. February's the short month, and we've only got one more day until it's over!

I'll cut to the chase and tell you all what's up: sometime in the next couple of days I'll be releasing Chapter 5 in alpha. Since we're "relatively on-schedule" with this one, the early-access period of 7 days will be followed.

As you can all see with the progress tracker, we're still a few scenes behind... there was a few hicc...

Radiant CH5: Progress Report #3

Hey again everyone! I've recently updated the tracker to reflect the state of our progress, and this is the biggest one yet... as we've nearly completed the next 7 scenes, and it won't be long before we knock out the next few as well. Additionally, now that we're nearing completion, I was able to predict that the chapter will be approximately 19-20 scenes long, and I've updated the tracker to reflect that.

Wh...

Radiant CH5: Progress Report #2

10/27/22 08:18AM EST

Hi all. Forgive me in advance if I'm not sounding too chipper. I recently (and quite unexpectedly) had to say goodbye to a dog I hold very dear... my best friend and companion Mindy, a rescue who I bonded with quite a lot over the last 10 or so years. This just happened this past Wednesday, so as I'm sure many of you can imagine I'm feeling pretty down.

Depressing news out of the way... I have some more previews for you all! This time featurin...

Radiant CH5: Progress Report #1

09/20/22 09:42PM EST

Hi all! Just a brief report this time, but news is news!

As you may or may not have noticed, this report is public. This will be the case for all reports going forward. You can expect these reports to happen every time we complete 3-5 scenes, along with 1-2 preview renders like the one shown above.

Now you may have also noticed that we recently 2022-09-21 01:50:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Games to try while you wait for Ch5!

Hello everyone!

This will be a little bit of a different post than what I normally do.

While Alorth and I grind away on Chapter 5, I wanted to direct your attention to a few games that I personally think are well deserving of your attention and recognition! Make no mistake, this is not a paid ad or a cross promotion, and I did not request anything in return from the developers of these games. Rather, these are all games that I personally really enjoy that I want t...

Thoughts on "The Hangout?"

Chapter 4 of Radiant saw the introduction of a new gameplay element which, for lack of a better term, I've been referring to as "The Hangout."

Aka, the moment where players are prompted to "spend some time with the girls and continue when finished." When working on this... the idea I had in mind was giving players the opportunity to feel, if even just for a few good minutes, that they're genuinely there in the world: relaxing and spending time with the triplets by the l...

Bonus 4K Wallpaper - September 2022

Here it is, folks! I held back on this one as long as I could... so if you still haven't played Chapter 4, my apologies for the "spoiler!"

In this month's bonus wallpaper for all-patrons... we get a "deep" look at the cute and mysterious Jade, who... while a tad strange on the outside, is sweet as pie on the "inside." I thought her inclusion in the latest chapter was a pun addition.

I'll see myself out.

POLL: Which "path" do you prefer?

Hello again everyone! This poll is a long time coming...

Now that players have had the chance to play the game for a while and experience the "thematic paths" that are offered, I'm very curious to hear which are the most & least popular, and why!

Before voting: keep in mind that this question is specifically related to which path you prefer MOST: meaning if you like Lust & Pure, but the majority of choices you've made are "Pure," you should choose Pure bel...

POLL: Favorite chapter so far?

Hey everyone!

Over the next few weeks I'll be posting some polls, game music, and other game & new chapter related content! I'm very much looking forward to hearing from you all.

I figured I'd start this off with a poll:

Which chapter of the game is your favorite so far? 

You can only choose one! Feel free to tell us why in the comments. 

Thanks!

Completion Status: Chapter 5

• 1 Filled Heart = 1 Completed Scene.

• Development Time for Each Scene May Vary.

Chapter 4 Feedback Thread (+Aug/Sep 4k Wallpapers)

Hey everyone!

In celebration of the much anticipated release of Chapter 4... and as a bonus/token of apology for the wait... I'll be giving August and September's 4K Wallpapers to all patrons this time.

With Chapter 4 releasing yesterday, I am very eager to hear everyone's feedback, so please be sure to message me and say a few words, or reply here under this post. Any/all feedback about the chapter, whether it be positive, negative, or otherwise is greatly appreciated an...

Radiant Chapter 4 - Official (v0.4-BETA)

Hi everyone!

After close to five full days with less than 11 hours of sleep, Radiant Chapter 4 has reached a state I'm happy with releasing to Patreon!

I am so damn happy with the way this chapter turned out, and I think all of you will be too. I can't wait to hear your feedback, suggestions, and criticisms.

Thanks SO much for having such great patience. Hope you enjoy playing this one as much as we enjoyed creating it. I love you guys.

July's Wallpapers + Brief Update

Hello all! If you haven't already, I strongly advise reading the devlog I posted a little over a week ago, where I talk about Ch4's progress and some other very important things about our plans moving forward. I wanted to give you all a little update about that, rather than keeping you at the edge of your seats.

As reported in said devlog, I predicted we'd be finished with Ch4 near the end of Jul...

New Completion Status/Progress Monitor (Example)

If you haven't already, I strongly recommend viewing this post for context. As mentioned in the recent devlog, part of the plan beginning with the development of Chapter 5 is to implement a "Scene Tracker" that allows patrons a way to see every single time we complete a scene.

Well, this is what I've settled on for the time being. Every time a scene is completed, a heart will be ...

Devlog #3 - Ch4 Estimated Release Date, An Important Chat, & More

Hello again everyone.

I'm going to be very candid in this post and (try to) keep it short. First and foremost, I wanted to talk about the amount of time that it took for us to finish Chapter 4, as it's been eating away at me and weighing heavily on my mind.

To be completely frank: I am very disappointed in myself. I could sit here for an hour and list off different reasons for why it took this long, but the reality is we failed you all... and let our players down....

Bonus 4K Wallpaper - June 2022

(6/13) QUICK UPDATE ABOUT CH4 PROGRESS: Hi all, sorry it's been a few weeks since I posted anything. As many of you likely know by now, when it gets close to release time, I usually will put my head down and grind through it, and I don't always communicate as well as I should during this time.

Unfortunately, while I thought a release sometime around the end of May or beginning of June was likely, we had a minor setback that cost us about 3.5 weeks. Alorth had to make a ...

Bonus 4K Wallpaper - May 2022

I'm not sure what inspired this, but Alita looks so glamorous and the details here are pretty amazing. It honestly looks like it's straight from the set of a movie. I hope you all like it as much as I do. This is the bonus wallpaper for all-patrons btw.

Enjoy!

Happy Anniversary <3 :)

Radiant turned two this month. And while I know what some of you are probably thinking (two years already? Hurry the fuck up!) -- Ch4 is around the corner/it should just be a few more weeks or so. It's somewhat larger than the previous three, and it was very challenging to create from both a writing and graphic standpoint, not just because of its size. That said, that won't be the case for every update and I really do want to get to a more consistent release schedule. In fact, I made it my go...

Bonus 4K Wallpaper - April 2022

We haven't seen our girl Alita in a while, so I asked Alorth to make a wallpaper featuring her. Needless to say, he outdid himself. The last time we checked in on her in-game, she was jumping in a taxi and heading to a location of "unknown origin." :P

This one's for all-patrons. Hope you all enjoy, and thank you all very much for the support! Additional news on the update will come very soon, as well as a special present that I commissioned for our supporters.

Love you all,

...

Bonus 4K Wallpaper - March 2022

Giving us further insight into Alorth's degenerate-furry brain, we get Olivia as a cute werewolf for this month's all-patron wallpaper.

Even though Wereliv looks like she'd fit right in with a pack of Otherkin, she's still perfect in my eyes. Enjoy the wallpaper, and don't forget to check out this chapter's final progress report 2022-03-03 09:48:28 +0000 UTC View Post

Final Progress Report (03/01/22) + Previews

First, let me just say I'm sorry that it's been a little while since I've made one of these. For the sake of not sounding like a broken record I try to keep them sparse but I sometimes end up losing track of time and waiting too long. So if you were worried or nervous about our progress on account of my relative silence, I apologize.

As always, we're working hard to get the update into your hands and we're pretty close, so this will be the final progress report I make before the release...

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day everyone. 

Love you! <3

Bonus 4K Wallpaper - February 2022 (NSFW)

As we get very close to the launch of Ch4, it is only natural that Alorth breaks out one of his phattest wallpapers to date. I think he's trying to make a narrative about perfection and "good things coming to those who wait," yada yada.

We actually get quite a lot of Maddison this chapter... some of the hottest scenes I think I've ever written, and generally speaking it is one of the more "triplet heavy" updates by far.

Still, I'm sorry that it's taken a little while... but I'm co...

Dime Wars #3: The Titans!

Happy 2022 Everyone!

Shit's about to get heated!

In this special edition of Dime Wars, we pit the lovely triplets against each other. Now before you say anything: I know what you're thinking. "What cruel individual would make me choose between these three?" 

And I know, it's quite mean. But luckily, it's just for fun (and also to sate my curiosity). Don't worry...

Bonus 4K Wallpaper - January 2022

While Brooklyn is a skilled photographer who loves her job (setting aside all the nerves), I think we can all agree that she does just as well in front of a camera and would make a great model!

I hope everyone had a Happy New Year. Thank you all so much for what you've done for us, and we can't wait to release Chapter 4, which we've progressed quite a bit. If all goes to plan, the wait shouldn't be too much longer.

While I can't give specific details just yet, I can tell ...

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Just a silly video I threw together using that Elf Yourself app... since people seemed to like the last one.

I hope you all have an amazing day!

Love,

Poll: Fapper... or Story Enjoyer?

Just some genuine Christmas curiosity!

There's two types of players:

The Fapper: Usually skips dialogue or skims. Occasionally gets into something enough to do both, but most often they play the games for a good old fashioned fap. Dislikes slow burn games.

The Story Enjoyer: Enjoys the story, gameplay, and/or dialogue above all else. Rarely skips dialogue. Might fap occasionally, but for the most part is just playing the games for fun.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

Before you leave and become occupied with your families this holiday season, please enjoy this extra little gift from the dev team.

I know sometimes it's easy to forget the human behind these games and projects... but I assure you, Alorth and I are very much real people with real feelings who love our players and supporters. So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything... and we hope your holidays are filled with great food, fond memories, and loved ones.

I feel lik...
