The game is beautiful. But I think Dex mouth need some fix here?
After try all the option, the only resolution make the game look right without being cut out here and there (like being miss the menu quick menu and date) is 1360 x 768, and can't right click to access the menu either, so the other option full kinda not necessary I think?
And do we need certain stats to pursue our Love Interest?
Thanks! I am working on fixing the disappearing mouths and resolution weirdness in the next update which will be out this week!
As for the stats, The stat system in The Radiants works a bit differently than usual. The stats do not affect your romance. Instead, they open up new ways to tackle events. They will also have an affect on your ending. There is no "bad" way to build your stats!
The Profile page looks interesting but the stats make a little nervous. Is this one of those games where I have to do a juggle act to keep all stats up or can I focus on my favorite subjects (and ignore others) without getting a "bad ending"?
No stat juggling required! The stat system in The Radiants works a bit differently than usual. The stats do not affect your romance. Instead, they open up new ways to tackle events. They will also have an affect on your ending, but there is no real bad ends, just different ends. So There is no "bad" way to build your stats!
I love the art style of the characters and how you have made them move, which makes them look so much more alive. I'm definitely looking forward to more of the story, but I already love how much there is to do. Good work! :))
All the characters are very interesting so far and the artwork is beautiful! My one criticism is the glitch of character's mouths disappearing at times. Will the final game have cheats for people like me who are bad at stat gameplay? I hate the feeling of failing skill checks and normally with renpy I can save edit but not with Unity games haha.
I really like it, the story is very intriguing. I love every character (Rheala best girl) even the fire one appears to be interesting. Can't wait to see more.
I think there is a problem with saves, after the first club activity (I choose the secrets one) every time i tried to save the game would crash and I wasn't able to click any button. I had to restart the game to be able to play again. I tried it a few times and it kept on happening after this point. (i'm sorry if it's not easy to understand, english is not my first language) Also one weekends when clicking esc the menu doesn't appear but you have to click it again to be able to interact with anything as if it did show up.
the resolution does not fit on my screen and needs a little adjustment, I think it's a bug or something BUT OMG THE GRAPHICS AND ANIMATION ARE CHEF'S KISS
also, when I reached saturday, I am not able to explore or do some activities, I hope you can fix this. Thank you! I'll wait for this!
Hi! Can you be more specific about what happed on Saturday? Did the map show up? Were you on auto or skip mode? Any info is helpful! I would say to try again from an earlier save and see if it works for you.
Thanks! I think this was an export issue, the window is supposed to be resizable, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'll get on this and have it fixed for the next update!
Ok! That's the Quick Save/Quick Load at the bottom, they SHOULD appear in a separate tab on the save menu. I will look into it and make sure it's working properly. Thanks!
I just finished playing the demo and OMG it's amazing! The art is just stunning and I love the stat system. And the characters, oh the characters... I have a HUGE crush on both Rheala and Arien (and the tiniest crush on Kai haha)!! The world-building and magic system are also super interesting. Can't wait to see more of it!
now as for bugs- there is one bug that makes the characters' mouths disappear when they're talking.
Thanks for looking into it! I was able to download and open the game this time, but as others are saying the save and return buttons aren't working for me either.
Not quite sure what you mean. There isn't a save button at the bottom of the screen for me? When I use the save button from the top of the screen it brings me to the save slots but then everything freezes. I'm not able to save and the return button to go back to the game can't be pressed either so the only option is to force quit the game.
I wish I could say anything more constructive than just singing your praises but I'm afraid that's all I'm gonna do. I've enjoyed the demo, which does a great job at hooking you into the story and showcasing the gameplay features. Having personality traits affect the story and how the character acts is great, I'm looking forward to multiple playthroughs already!
Nice "info-dumping" balance - learning about the world along with the MC was handled well, the only time I thought 'well this is getting a bit overwhelming' was followed by characters actually acknowledging the same thought within the story, making it very fitting rather than off-putting. It felt quite immersive, to be slightly in over your head along with the character you play. The world itself feels vivid, I like how it takes inspiration from the already 'common' fantasy tropes and turns them into its own, making the story easy to follow while still unique. Nice hint of intrigue at the end there, too!
All of the characters introduced so far have been a delight, I can't wait to interact with them more! I'm curious about Arien the most so far, the 'cold jerk' characters are usually my favorites and I like his portrayal so far. He may be rude as far as manners are considered, but that seems to stem from his pragmatism rather than anything else. quick question can i date Rheala? no? oh okay ..
I think this goes without saying, but the art is absolutely gorgeous. The art style itself, the backgrounds, the character designs?? Amazing. The animations are very smooth and a nice addition! I've stared at the MC sprite for so long you have no idea, all the outfits are great but there's something about the MC one that I just adore immensely.
Usually, I have some qualms with visual novels made with Unity, but The Radiants runs very smoothly. No inexplicable crashes, no weird lag in oddly specific moments, just a very pleasant experience overall! The only quirk I found is that skipping doesn't stop at choice screens, causing the MC sprite to, uh, 'spasm' quite a bit with the sped-up animation.
I found two issues with the text, both involving Grey in the second week. First is I think on Wednesday? Text says "I turn to see the a familiar smirking face" , using 'the' and 'a' at once. Second was at the party, "Attending to his guests, really? The way is acting, you'd think this was some fancy dinner party", I believe you're missing a pronoun?
Overall, the game seems amazing so far! Do you have any means of support set up? Patreon, ko-fi? I can't wait to follow along with the development!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review. I am so glad you enjoyed the experience so far! Also, thanks for pointing out the typos, they can be hard to catch sometimes. :)
I do not have any support sites set up currently, but have considered it for further development in the future.
Downloading the demo now; I'm looking forward playing it, it is my type of game! XD The artwork looks really amazing; I love the 2.5D animation, fantasy elements and premise! Thank you for making this and I shall definitely be following it's development! :D

Will try this out soon. The art style looks so good!

I will be posting a guide eventually that will hopefully help out those that aren't fond of stats :)

Thanks for the report! I'm looking into the save issue and will hopefully be updating at the end of the week with bug fixes. :)
I've download the demo and yayy! I will get back on this comment to share some of my insights!

Also, what resolution are you using?
720 x 400 @70 Hz is the resolution I am using because the game could not fit. Also, this. I tried doing the earlier saves but it won't work.
Thanks! I think this was an export issue, the window is supposed to be resizable, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'll get on this and have it fixed for the next update!
I'm working on getting this figured out. Hopefully I'll get a working Mac file up today!
Mac version has been updated! Try the download again and see if it works for you now. :)
it's working now! tysm :)
Some issues with Saving. Am extremely interested in the storyline though. First game I've ever given feedback on.
What kind of saving issues were you having? Unable to save at all or just at a specific point? Thanks for your feedback!
the buttons at the bottom for saving/loading etc don't work but we can save if we click the icon with 3 lines at the top of the game.
Ok! That's the Quick Save/Quick Load at the bottom, they SHOULD appear in a separate tab on the save menu. I will look into it and make sure it's working properly. Thanks!
No problem! thanks for taking the time to look into it :)
omg i lovveddd this! cant wait for future updates :)

Thanks for your kind words, and for the bug report! I am so glad you enjoyed it so far.
Looks like a beautiful game! I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong but I can't play the Mac version? It downloads as a document for me.
uh oh! let me look into that. Thanks for letting me know!
Mac version has been updated! Try the download again and see if it works for you now. :)
Thanks for looking into it! I was able to download and open the game this time, but as others are saying the save and return buttons aren't working for me either.
The save buttons on the bottom aren't working for you? or is the save menu at the top not working? or both? Thanks for helping me bug test :)
