greetings randy friends and fans, i am bringing you a new post!
adult life has gotten in the way of big update posts for this game, so to make up for it ive decided to do this to keep people excited.
as for game news, we are entirely focused on the development of Pirate Caverns at the moment, which is the largest part of the game. as of today, Floor 1 is about 75% done. we have also started programming of caverns using placeholder assets, and so far its coming out nice.
this post is just to answer some questions ive seen asked around over the past few months. please do not comment with further questions, i dont want a repeat of what happened with the Q&A post.
FAQ
When will the game be done?
our current plan is to have this done and released by december 1st. however, our personal lives (unfortunately a good part of randy has had to grow up and get jobs) have gotten in the way of development. if the game is not done by then, we will still get it done eventually. there is 0% chance this game will ever be canceled.
Is this your last fangame?
yes, after this radiance will completely depart from the five nights at freddy's "community" and hopefully move onto original things. what do i mean by "original things"? i dont exactly know yet, however, at the moment we have no future games planned nor have we started working on anything new.
Will there be a button (teaser) game for this?
yes! originally i had planned for us to make a teaser game and release it before fnati, however, now it seems it will be coming out sometime after. the plans for it are incredibly unique from the previously released button games and it'll tie into things like Addendum and Casa nicely.
How many nights are in the game?
the main game has 6 nights, just like 6.0. memories mode adds on 5 more, and there is also a custom night.
Is Pirate Caverns fully free roam?
Pirate Caverns is a 360 view point-and-click adventure segment. unfortunately, we cant add "simulated 3d" like what the Casa tunnels did but we are trying to make it as nice as it can be.
Is this game canon to Casa?
yes, this game and Casa are a part of a duology. there is also supplementary material like Addendum: Discovery Island and our fnati troll games. i have also considered writing a few sourcebooks for the games to help expand the universe the game is in.
Is Hypnagogia FNaTI 3?
no, it is a spinoff game set in a separate timeline of The Tree. as of february, no one from radiance works on that project and we no longer have anything to do with it.
Should I play this instead of FNaTI 2020?
yes. while some people have doubted it this game is 10x better than the FNaTI we released in 2020. please take off your rose-tinted glasses and notice how bad 6.0 objectively is. let us do better i promise we can.
Are all of your projects set in a connected universe?
yes.
When will Addendum be finished?
i don't know. as of the last page, we are slightly over halfway done with the story. it is entirely written, just the process of turning them into "pages" is pretty tedious. we are also considering launching a website for addendum when it is fully finished that will have some slightly updated pages.
Will the models be released?
from us willingly? never.
When is devlog 3?
please understand i have a personal life and i haven't been doing all that great mentally. the easiest way to give you all the news right now is to post small BTS snippets. i hope to have something big for you all eventually.
Where are the Casa discs?
at the moment money is extremely tight, so shipping costs are not something i can shell out money for. i am hoping to give them away eventually, but i cannot do it right now.
Will 6.5 have physical copies?
currently, there are no plans for it.
Will Casa 2.0 get any further updates?
i don't think so, there are no game-breaking bugs or anything we have to fix. plus i dont want to make the physical copies useless by having an outdated version on them.
When will we get 6.5 GJ Stickers?
sometime after the game releases.
Why is the Radiance Twitter/X private?
as of recent, i have no interest in continuing the radiance twitter because of my mental health. i have been considering giving the account off to someone trusted so they can take over.
Will there be an android port?
no, this applies to all of our games. ALSO, unofficial ports will be taken down by us. (you guys arent sneaky at all)
Will Night 6 be better?
yes. hourglass has new mechanics and there are two new enemies in the night. it will hopefully be a lot more balanced and fun, unlike 6.0.
Is this canon to Abandoned by Disney?
this game is not canon to abandoned by disney officially, HOWEVER, abandoned by disney is canon to our story. fnati is a fan spinoff/continuation.
Where does this game take place?
this game takes place on Disney's abandoned attraction Discovery Island. the "Treasure Island" mentioned in Abandoned by Disney is a completely separate location that actually doesn't exist anymore. here is the blog post mentioned in the story: http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/disney-blunder/
yes, there are two Treasure Islands.
that's all for now! hopefully, this clears up a few things. see you all later.
