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?

Hi I just wanted to say a few things and ask about Polarity. I'm playing Radiant, but haven't finished what's available yet, I enjoy what I've played so far and look forward to more. I know you get this one a lot and I hate asking, but I want to try Polarity and just hope that if I enjoy it I have more to look forward too. Any input you can give would be appreciated and I hope you have a good week. Keep up the good work. 

Hey thanks for the compliment, I'm really glad you've been enjoying the game. And don't worry, I don't mind answering questions about this sort of thing even though we do get it a lot. If you're thinking about playing Polarity: there's already a few hours of content, but there will definitely be a long wait before you get any more updates for the game... and to make matters worse, it leaves players on a pretty significant cliffhanger (I didn't do this on purpose, haha).

While I do plan to continue work on and finish Polarity when I am able, it's going to be a long time, potentially years before I'm able to do so. The reason is because our sole focus is currently on Radiant, and developing that takes a lot of time and effort, more than I ever expected it to. If having to wait is something you don't want, then I would recommend holding off on playing it, as the wait will be a long one.

Thank you for the reply. I need to complete some games and when I knock off a few I'll try out Polarity. :) I understand people can be impatient but there's no reason to be jerks about it. You creators have lives too and do things your way. haha Anyway, thanks again for the reply and I look forward to more of your games. Have a good day.
