LLP34 how about i send you the daz file im rendering RIGHT NOW on an overclocked ryxen 1700x with a gtx 1060 and have you render it for me "instantly". 1 hour and 10 minutes on iteration 1087. Im thinking 4 to 10 hours before it's done and its only 1200x1000 or something like that. Admittedly this is an extreme render but you dont know what youre talking about
Theres a hell of a lot of difference between a high vertex realistic 3d render and a low poly game scene. Theres a reason gamers and 3d artists use Different cpu's and gpu's. An old 64 core dual cpu xeon server is an excellent renderer.. and subnautica would eat it alive... etc etc.
Momo, i'm not saying your criticisms dont have merit. But if you dont want to support it then dont support it. Noone is forcing you too. You can in fact play it, for free, without donating a cent. As to your post on renders etc >> from the patrion
" the current game (vers. 0.065) has already 3623 fully designed, very detailed and staged, ambitious renders! "
You're right 5k a month is a Lot. But you could drop 5k (even 10k) EASILY into a graphics workstation. And a couple k into assets very easily (you could spend a Lot more or less of course).
And he literally dropped out of college to do this full time. Which means bills. And i make about 60k a year Plus benefits and minus self employment/business costs. If you guys think that's rich youre nuts. If you think that's a lot for a game developer youre nuts.
I get the impatience but a lot of this is like children whining to mommy they want more ice cream. If you dropped $500 into this guys patrion and he didnt put out updates id be upset. But he literally put out a small update 1/5. And the last one wasnt much before that.
