Yeah i suspected that. He is even using the old milking card called "mental health". He disappears for a month and then come back saying he likes to be off internet for a week to avoid burn out lmao. And like you said, is working like a charm, people in his discord are happy just to see him online and porn addicted simps are here to defend him hahaha.It's very simple: you must be really incompetent, bonus points if you have a very old computer. All you have to do is set the rendering engine to do hundreds of unnecessary calculations for stuff like the lights. And now an image that takes 1 minute to render, takes 2 days.
The truth is that he bought icstor's book: "how to milk patreons for dummies". It's working like a charm. He is not working at all on the game.
