Pulling ~$300 a month (after the gestapo's cut) on Patreon and rendering on a GPU from 2015 or even worse a GTX 730? Seriously? Plop down $300 and grab yourself a 1660Ti - it's almost impossible to locate any sort of decent benchmarks on that M60 performance - but he'd almost certainly be better off. I don't understand how all of these adult game developers are running and rendering on systems that are so antiquated. It's not like you need Pixar's server farm to render some 1080p images.

or he could get an AMD card for much cheaper !
maybe an RX 580 ?
or even a VEGA 56, since they're going for quite low now !
at least there's hope this is still alive !
he really needs to finish this game ASAP to restore confidence in the patrons !
i REALLY hope this isn't abandoned ! i love the characters and the game is so sooo sexy !

I'm not sure on the CPU that the dev uses but it's kinda pointless even to get a 1660Ti if the CPU's not feeding it enough information to run anyway. Not saying you don't have a point just that it's not an effective spend without the increased CPU power.
Also, most decent devs aren't rendering 1080p renders but probably 4k and up so with huge scenes it'll still struggle. The GPU/CPU choice is always a painful choice for dev's because it's whether you want to invest for the future or get card/s that'll make an impact now.
AMD cards don't have rendering support. Plus they overheat like nothing so on sustained full loads most AMD cards wouldn't handle a simple rendering schedule. The Vega 56 is a huge culprit of this. There's a huge chance you'd melt a Vega 56 just from gaming let alone rendering....
Most of us use IRAY by Daz Studio for rendering images. Iray is developed by NVidia which means having AMD GPU will not work.
i'm in a quite warm country and my RX 580 idles at around 48-50 on a warm day and around 37-40 on the coldest day
i don't think gaming will melt the GPU and AMD is just being stereotyped for making hotter GPUs... but whatever

From a heat perspective, the RX 580 isn't nearly as bad a Vega 56/64 where their idle temps mask how screwed they are on load so my comments are specific to the Vega's. Sure AMD cards are known to run hot but nothing nearly as hot as the Vega's.
Besides the point, as @EvilUser said and what I was saying myself, AMD isn't supported by the main rendering software packages (
EDIT: Thanks @EvilUser for picking that up. My eyes must've been barely open lol.
Daz Studio and OctaneRender. IRAY is a rendering technology developed by NVidia, software like Daz Studio and OctaneRender supports IRAY.
I've heard that AMD are working on something to compete with IRAY but nothing in particular.

This game is likely pseudo-"dead/abandoned", the dev hasn't posted a peep on his patreon since the last progress update. It sucks cause this game had some great potential. Maybe we will get lucky 1-2 months from now and he will post something on his patreon about what has been going on, I am hoping so cause I'd really like to see Ep 3 and more.
