Their Radiance

no.

Their Radiance is a 2D retro pixel "walking sim" platformer/visual novel that's been slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. The objective is to guide a pair of romantically involved retro pixel blobs to the right of the screen until they meet each other. There's barely any gameplay here, the VN components are badly written, this barely qualifies as a game. The game features obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution and controls are locked, so there's no way to improve the very poor visual quality or the control scheme. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC. GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and unsurprisingly results in products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. Using a video game construction kit requires little to no talent or skill as a game developer. Very often, GameMaker Studio is used to make shovelware and lazy cash grabs, although in this case the game is completely free. Nothing speaks more to a developers belief in themselves and their product than making their game available for everyone without remuneration. This is certainly a gesture that shows dedication to the gaming industry. It's a shame in this case that the implementation is below the minimum standards a dedicated PC game should offer to enthusiasts. There's no "maybe" option in Steam, unfortunately, but I hope to see more work from this developer, perhaps as part of a professional game development company that can make full use of their talents without needing to make budget/quality compromises like pixel art and using off the shelf game templates and construction kits.

Um jogo relativamente curto, dura em média 30 à 40 minutos para chegar ao fim. Não é necessário grande conhecimento da linguá inglesa para compreender os diálogos e a proposta do jogo. Como a própria descrição, se trata de um simulador de caminhada incomum. Portanto, a ação mecânica torna-se cansativa após um tempo, repetir a mesma ação leva o jogador considera desistir mas é nesse instante que somos levados também a pensar como as pessoas facilmente desistem de algo quando este se torna cansativo, repetitivo, mecânico, assim como relações amorosas. Ao fim do jogo percebe-se que este revela muito sobre seu criador. Como o mesmo, eu sou uma pessoa que acredita em amor e esta foi minha principal motivação para terminar o jogo, não importando quão cansativo fosse caminhar repetidamente, sem saber quanto tempo levaria, através da dedicação Rose e Maxwell viriam a se encontrar e ter seu desejado final feliz, ao menos era o que eu imaginava. Um final melhor do que eu esperava e almejava, foi além do grande encontro dos personagens, além da conexão destes, foi sobre o amor de seus criador por eles e sobre o que ele acredita.

時間的・空間的変化を表すいくつかの背景、 登場人物のいる場所の空気感や雰囲気をつたえるBGM 登場人物がある一定の方向に向かって進んでいるかのような錯覚を与える動きの表現 この3つだけで構成されたシンプルなゲーム。 なのに、それはまぎれもなく「愛」についての物語だった。 これを「愛」と言ってよければ、愛とは狂気そのものだということが本当によく分かる。

⇩ *[i]SENSITIVE VIEWER WARNING AT BOTTOM[/i]* ⇩ Their Radiance is a very simple platformer game about two people who meet on the internet and set on a journey to find each other. The description sums it up well as just a 'walking simulator'. The mechanics work but are limited to a basic 2D platformer. Sometimes there would be a glitch and I'd get stick in a corner, but it's easy to get out of. Other than that, there's little to no plot, no action, nor an interesting storyline. Each "level" is very repetitive, from the exception of a few landscape changes and an intermission [i](that goes on for WAYY too long)[/i] where they're together in a dream. Lastly, and most importantly, the color and graphics are unsettling and painful on the eyes. *[i](READ BOTTOM)[/i]* PROS - Free - Short (~20 minutes) - Easy platformer CONS - No plot or story - Poor artwork - Repetitive - Some glitches - Color palette/ graphics are painful on the eyes [b]*WARNING: THERE ARE BRIGHT LIGHTS AND COLORS IN THIS GAME*[/b] [i]This consists of highly saturated, bright colors and graphics. There are NO flashing colors, but can nearly simulate so from the moving background, or if your character to cuts off screen. There is no way to avoid it in the beginning "city" levels, and in the others- if you continue to progress in the game. If you have a condition that makes you sensitive to either bright colors, or something similar, please play this game at your own risk. [/i]

[h1]Before I played Their Radiance, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

虚無ゲーに見せかけた神話的ゲー。 プレイしてて楳図かずおの｢わたしは真悟 ｣を思い浮かべた｡ 愛とはある種の信仰であり、人生とはクソゲーである。 このゲームはそれを意識的に表現しようとしているように見える。

Onların Radiance'ı aşka dair alışılmadık bir yürüme simülatörüdür.
