Sorry to hear that you aren't as interested in Radiant. To answer the "if ever" part of your question: yeah, I absolutely plan to continue and finish Polarity.

The question of "when" is a bit more tricky. I'm currently seeking an artist for it because the artwork for the game is the single biggest struggle for me as a developer (I have zero natural talent for artwork, and not the best eye either).

Once things have gotten back on track with Radiant, I will be far more proactive and aggressive in seeking out these services... and when I've done so I'll be making a huge update here on Itch and on the game's Patreon with information about my plans going forward. Until then, I can only ask that you bear with me.

I know this priority may seem unfair since Polarity was started before Radiant... but Radiant is not a free game, unlike Polarity, and I'm also working with an artist... meaning I have to be more strict with its development.

I hope you can understand, and regardless, I appreciate you and your support of my projects.

Why do you always quotes his messages, the dev can't answer himself ? Like too busy to even respond to the comms on a game who has not been update for 2 years but still getting funded ?

Don't mean to be rude but getting money for 2 years by doing nothing looks like a joke to me. If you don't have 10 min in ONE YEAR to just  leave a note then you don't have respect for your audience

We have an official Discord where I've discussed and explained what's going on with Polarity numerous times over the last two years. For news and updates regarding my games, the RK Studios Discord is the place to be.

I love how he's also responded to your comment, and not a single response from your end. Give the game devs some faith. It's a struggle to balance multiple projects at once, and what it seems with Polarity, a game with multiple routes, it takes longer to develop than something like a shooter game. Instead of complaining, try rejecting some of the girls you always allowed, or allow advances on some of the girls who you've never bothered to look at before. In other words, try out the different paths the game may have to offer. Does rejecting Melanie early still cause her to get jealous if you accept the advances of Lucia later? Etc, etc.

One final note. You can only hate something or someone, if you were taught to, if they or it wronged you, or you actually care about the project or story.

I not criticising the game or the Dev here. Everyone as a life outside the net and the game is really interesting so far and that precisely why it's frustrating.

I don't ask for an update on the spot, I can't even imagine how much work what there is so far took. 

I'm criticising the lack of communication for an extend period. I know they said that there is a discord but not everyone as discord and not everyone are on the server. Their fault you will say. Sure, but when you have a web page you can at least put a message to say that the game is still in progress (or not) but you don't know when the next update will be, that all I'm asking

LOL!

The dev's latest game Radiant that nobody cares about has already gotten off track?  Whodathunkit?

Well, time to abandon that game and start up another one again.  What an epic steaming dog pile of a post.  The dev isn't even working on it but supposedly is seeking an artist for it while he tries to get Radiant "back on track"

Yup.  More fake news from another struggling dev that has no intention to finish anything he starts.

I understand that you're upset or angry with us, but it's pretty clear that Radiant isn't abandoned. It received a massive update with over 3 hours of new content less than 2 months before you posted this, and Chapter 5, which isn't far off in size, was just launched today.

I was also pretty clear with what I said, but I believe you misunderstood me so I'll reiterate: Polarity is a free project that I started developing on my own. I've never charged a penny for it or received a single dollar in exchange for the game itself.

Radiant, on the other hand, is a paid project and therefore consistently developing it has to take precedence over Polarity. Not long after Radiant Chapter 2 launched, we had some personal and real-world issues that delayed development and set us back by months, but those things have been resolved and development is back to normal.

This most likely means I'll be able to resume development of Polarity at some point in the near future, and when I do, I'll make an announcement. None of what happened means Polarity is forever abandoned: it's a passion project that I'm eager to continue, and I will do so eventually.

Finally, I don't know why you're so dead-set on lumping me in with struggling or failed developers. Since I started creating games 3 years ago I've published nearly 20 hours of content, which is substantially more than most indie game and AVN developers for such a short time period. I'm very passionate about game development, and if I can find a way I'd like to get to the point where I can publish 20 hours per year... but I'm not superhuman and have to consider things like family and health.

P.S. I'm not trying to be petty but Radiant has over 8,000 followers, sits between 850-1400 paying subscribers, and has directly sold several thousands of copies... so "a game nobody cares about" is kind of a stretch.

I hope you have a good rest of the year my friend.

I wasn't able to read very much of this cool story before I quit out of sheer boredom. My reaction is:  OK 😁👌

You passion shows in your updates.I'm just glad I found an amazing story that the developer is dead-set on finishing, even if it's taking a while. When I get paid, I'll purchase this game from itch. Does $30 sound good for this masterpiece?
