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

A very long wait for chapter two, but well worth it. Superb quality all around; probably the best-looking girls in any game. Between the three main girls and the four(?) side girls there's so much room for future content. Not liking the dickhead neighbor stuff so far so I hope that's not too heavily involved in the future.

Very happy to see this back. Even if the update is short, I still like it. It's a great game that I have a feeling will put story first. I would say it's up there with Halfway House in terms of quality. And I fucking love that game. This has beautiful visuals and an emotional attachment.

This game is pretty heavily overrated. While the CGs are top notch, the writing isn't very good, the story is pretty uninspired as well, and the characters don't seem all that fantastic, and the dev team seems to be almost uniquely ineffecient at game development. All of this on top of what is quite possibly the creepiest situation I've ever seen in a game leads me to say this is not a game you should bother spending your time on.

Version 0.1.2
Overall, I enjoyed the game - there's lots of potential and the devs seem quite ambitious, the renders are really nice, although so far quite generic (no surprise given the mum + three triplets angle).
Game progression is slow and steady; there are a couple of H scenes straight off the bat but it feels like there's an invest and reward style of play ahead.
A lot of the dialogue is interesting and well-written (no engrish), but I really struggled with the girls calling the MC 'Daddy' within the first 5 seconds of meeting him, then it's tears and hugs all round. Everyone is just far too accepting of the whole situation. I was expecting some conflict to spice up the interactions, but maybe I'm being too picky.
Time will tell on how the points system will work as the story progresses, but so far I can guess where the story is going.
I'm gonna keep an eye on this one.

MC is a sissy.
The lines inside are often "Am I dreaming?" "In my dream..."...What the hell is this? He has been awake for several years...Do ordinary people react like this?
The tone of MC's words to others and the thoughts in his head always show that he is a weak and unconfident person. Can't his personality be more confident?
Although he was in a coma for 10 years, he woke up for almost 10 years, but he still thinks like a teenager? He can only think of women in his dreams? What kind of loser is this?

In addition, what the hell is the narrator? Can't the author directly use italics or boldface? There are too many narrations, which is very annoying.

Nickname...Everyone has to take a nickname...
On the first day a group of girls moved in, can you just call them by their nicknames?
I don't know why the author is so attached to this meaningless title...

Many details of this game really need to be improved.

I have mixed feelings about this one.

PROS

- I do like the quality of the renders. I appreciate even small head/lip movement when talking which is what even a lot of new VNs seem to ignore.

- The Audio was pretty decent too. Nothing was really out of place and there are sound effects for different situations which is something I do like in VNs.

- I like that the plot has a more serious feel in the beginning and not just a flailing penis all the time.


Mixed Feelings PROS + CONS? .... PRONS? ..

- While I don't hate the plot , It does feel like a fast forward (personal opinion). There's not much of a buildup. I like getting invested in a story and knowing the characters before drastic changes happen.

- The writing is not bad in my opinion. But again in some cases it does feel 'pushed' for comedic effect.

- I'm not a huge fan of the usual MC getting random boners or thinking about his dick every time someone's half naked in front of him so I do wish there was less of that. While I do understand that's the games way of telling the player 'you are attracted to these girls', it just felt too rushed for me. I barely played for an hour or even less and i'm already getting turned on by these three young girls that show up in my life
This would be understandable but the story is pretty serious and just takes a porno turn too fast for my liking.

CONS

- Nothing too bad to mention here except maybe it wasn't much of content to make me get a good feel of the game.

- While the story was 'interesting' so far, I was far from invested.
I understand for some people these are just Click N Fuck games but I personally enjoy good plots that keep me hooked.


CONCLUSION

While I did enjoy my time playing this game, it was too short for a verdict.
In its current state its probably a 3-4 out of 5. Not in a bad way but just in a "there's not much to go on" way.

It's definitely worth a download but only more content will help bring the games quality out.
For now it lowkey feels like a rushed introduction.

Good luck to the devs

v0.1.2 Overall ++quality Game:

It has a good and intriguing storyline.
It provides us with high quality renders and animations.
The length of the updates are decent.

One point less for their update policy, needing over 6 months and delaying the release is annoying.

Story: 10
Design. 10
Characters: 10

i love this game so far, it reminds me a lot of another game and i loved that game. definitely something to keep an eye out for. The story sucked me in and made me feel emotions i thought i killed years ago. The characters are unique and it's an amazing thing how the developers made the daughters look like their mother, but with differences between them.

1/5
Just a basic insert incest dribble and i cant understand how the game has so many positive/high reviews.
Renders are average, the 3 daughters are dangerously close to FBI territory but its an incest game so thats a given or there would be no audience for this.
The story sofar is generic and predictable, nothing refreshable or new about it that some other reviews hint at. Sheep.
Should probably rate it 1/5 but kinda wanna see more before i up the rating or clap it down to a 1.
Edit to downgrade the rating to a 1, 7 months is too slow unfortch.

The renders are good but the H-scenes are bang average. The however is quite promising and unique. The models are alright, although a bit generic. This has the potential to become a wonderful Visual Novel. The story is VERY good.

Based on the current content as at 27/08/20 I am eager to see how this game matures.
Radiant has earned a permanent position in my library of visual novels.
I did not encounter any bugs.
This is a very enjoyable game with good writing and a nice looking art style.
I hope that some of my kinks are brought into this game so I can breed a harem with family fun.
I am giving it a 9.5/10 as there have not been enough releases to make a final say one way or the other, but it is leaning towards a good time.
I am looking forward to its continuation, will download each update and fap again XD

Sex scene was really average, model in that scene seems worse than games 3+ years ago. Honestly is comparable to shovelware that is made so frequently now. Story is not very inspiring either, I'm sure there will be meaningless drama added and resolved instantly though. Would not pay for in its current state

Fantastic so far, love the way it all starts, very nice story to follow that is all possible in real life. Can't wait to see how the dynamics will work and the possible things that can happen seeing there are 3 ways to go with your choices... This will be one to watch for and follow that's for sure!

So looking forward to future content for this game. Great story already despite there being minimal sexual content. Kind of like My New Family for me; came for the fap, stayed for the feels. If the quality of this content keeps up I will have to Patreon.

This is looking like its gonna be very good. Not gonna lie the idea of the story is quite heart wrenching but I thought it was handled quite well so i'm confident that the dev can do a good job.

Models looked nice, tough i do wish theMC was a bit more substantial between the legs but whatever.

So far so good. The first animation was really nice and it set some expectations for more animations to come. The characters seem cute, with different personalities. We'll see how it unfolds.

-A quick review

It is a very promising start. Girls are kind of dollish but it is something new for me so I like it they are hot this way. Renders are nice. Lewd scene animations are short loops sometimes fantastic sometimes not so good but usually animations are not so important for me. The most promising part are the choices it looks huge impact to the story and the game gets kind of personalized.

I can't really see why this game has this score.
The content is very little, writing is bad and the story make no sense at all.
I guess there is some potential here and there, the renders are ok but in the end, there is a lot of narration to set up a series of events, one less believable than the other.

Radiant has probably the best art direction I've ever seen in a 3d game. The textures and the conforming shapes in addition to the timings used in the animations and scenes are spot on. Yes, there are still a couple expressions that immediately remind me of an Illusion interface; but they're not present long and they seem appropriate, so... not that big a deal.

If I were to complain about anything it would be the hey, this cliffhanger in the story would be a great time for a commercial break/ intermission until next release thing; but the game is young enough in development that I'll forgive that for now. There's actually a good deal of content. It just seems like less because the story arc seems to reset early on, making what comes after take on the role of "now we get to the actual content" when in fact quite a bit was already done.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes, even if where we left off see,s to indicate yet another Earth shattering revelation follows shortly.
