Maybe you got that from a different path that I took but only thing I know of is a conspiracy to gain favour with the MC and potentially influence him in benefiting the elves. How would they even coup and who would they put on the throne?
There are code variables you can find in console command that indicate elves are planning a bloody coup with killings and assassination of the royal family but it is not utilized yet. There is variables linked to it that indicate siding with cass will make elven guerillas lunch an attack at palace.

Hello everyone. My new computer arrived a few days ago! I thought about sharing this news right away, but I did not expect that transferring data to a new computer would take so long, at one point I even thought that I would have to re-download the entire data library for rendering, which would take even more time. But fortunately, I found a ten-year-old piece of advice on a God-forsaken forum and it helped. I'm going back to rendering and I can tell you something that will make you happy - the overall rendering speed has increased by about 3 times! Moreover, I no longer have to spend time rendering complex scenes with a large number of characters in several passes. If before I couldn't afford more than 2-3 characters in a scene, now I've managed to render a scene even with 7.
All this would be impossible without the people who help me. Thank you!
Wonder if that would equate to faster releases or just increased likeness to hit the 2month ETAs. Any case, awesome to hear.

Damn he is fast, I wish I weren't living in a shithole 3rd world country where my currency is worthless so that I could support him. He is legitametly one of the only few creators on this platform that actually deserves the support.
Soo, by new pc LM means that the renders wont be missing pixels and have excessive artifacts? Sign me up. His last game was near masterpiece, but the renders were very grainy. Love your games Lazy Monkey.

hope LM is able to maintain the current two month development cycle if the render quality increases.

On his post about ordering a new PC rig for rendering, majority of the Patrons agreed that he should focus on increasing the update cadence, not on increasing graphical quality. The game is already a looker, it doesn't need BaDIK levels of quality just for us to wait 4 months for updates again. So, in essence, he should put out updates of higher quality (but not enough to actually notice, just a cleaner image maybe) and faster now.
Math tells us that renders for 0.6 will be done in 15 - 20 days, and add a week for testing & spell check, we are looking at a late September release - unless the next dev update has the render speed increase even further.
Hella fast if you ask me, and lovin' every second of it. Give your love to Lazy Monkey!

The ceaseless pursuit of graphical fidelity is silly, and bad for all corners of the games industry. The 4k usage numbers on steam show that it's silly to pursue it too.
Personally I've got 4k monitors but the difference between 4k and 1080 for me, is almost never worth the increased dev time, cost, or compute power to display.

Yeah I would agree with this. This game is already visually good enough and sure improvements would be nice but definitely not at the cost of speed. If he maintained the current quality and increased render speed that's the best situation imo.

I agree in principle, but games like Dreamland are absolutely amazing to gawk at, even at lower-than-4K resolutions.
But that game will get updates every 8 months, which is a massive YIKES from me.
I prefer devs that actually finish games in a reasonable time frame over games that I will probably die before finishing.
What's the use of seeing titties in 8K when even a direct injection of Viagra won't get my wiener up by the time the game shows them to me and I'm playing it on my way to be embalmed for my funeral...

That was the consensus on his Patreon, and LM didn't even ask our opinion. So LM fans are already dead-set on LM just focusing on getting IC updated sooner over improving fidelity.
Which is precisely the reason I am his Patron over supporting, say, Dr. Pink and his dating simulator.
Sure, the game is visually impressive and plays like a charm, but I am not waiting half a year (at best) for an update to learn that my chosen LI isn't even the focus of the update. Fuck that shit, gimme more Queen Mother and Elin, please and thank you!

LM is perhaps the most consistent dev I've seen alongside weirdWorld. They stick to these 2-3 month dev cycles and meet them. Shame LM isn't quite as big as others.
yeah I'd rather he stick with this level of render quality maybe a clearer image with less artifacts, bc every time I see a dev say "oh guys I have a new graphics card or a new PC so now updates will be much more faster" they end focusing too much on visuals increasing the render quality to the point that they start struggle to make renders and updates end up taking longer than even before
