Hello!

I think this post is long overdue so I’m going to cut down the fat and get straight into it. To begin, the game is not dead. It will never be canceled. My brain refuses to let projects die, and when they do they always come back in one form or another.

In terms of progress, we have been going very steadily. Radiance in 2016-2020 is very different compared to now. Unfortunately (or fortunately) a lot of us have grown up and we either have jobs, college, or general adulting tasks to take care of daily. There isn’t a lot of time to sit down and work on this project (although there’s plenty of time to post useless schizoposts on the radiance account which is really funny). I rarely have time to do anything with Radiance in general, which is why beyond this game, I have nothing planned. I fully expect us to go on “vacation” after this is over. No more fangames, no more FNAF, and maybe no more games too.

I for one have been doing a lot of studying in my free time to improve my writing skills, mainly to prepare for writing a comic (Insomniac) the team has been planning on the side. Our main modeler, Monste, has been focused on finishing Pirate Caverns whenever he can (which isn’t very often). As of right now, Floor 1 is nearly finished. Floor 2 began development a few weeks ago and looks to be about halfway done. Here are some miscellaneous progress pictures:

In terms of programming, not much is done. The base layout for the nights from my recollection is done, Memories Mode is currently being recoded, scraps of Pirate Caverns have been coded… and that’s pretty much it. Why isn’t there much done? Again, our programmers have lives. That and we are hoping to get everything graphics-wise done so we can run through coding as swiftly and efficiently as possible. I have brought on extra writing and direction help as well to make sure things stay on track.

The current goal for this project is to have this completed and released on Dec 1st, 2025 at the latest. The team has suggested it could be finished earlier, but that is the deadline I am setting for us. This is mostly because I don’t have any other ideas on how we could top Treasure Island: Abandoned Enigma for FNaTI's next anniversary. Maybe we could have that button game done by that time just in case? No idea yet!

That is all I have for you for now. Expect more progress images soon, I am hoping to have substantial things to show you all eventually. I appreciate the support and love we get every day, the fanart and comments are always great to look at. I’m sure the wait for this game will be worth it! (This is probably the 200th time I’ve said this, oops)

See you all again soon! Goodnight.
