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.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!
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.
