Well if they are smart they do not port it over to unreal engine 5 while still developing the game. there is a reason most developers never switch engine halfway development and that is because it most of the time doesn,t work at all. or when the game works months of optimization need to be done. the entire source code needs to be made compatible with the new engine version.
they haven,t even scratched the surface of what Unreal Engine 4 is capable off. Unreal Engine 5 may look awesome from the techdemo,s we have seen so far but to delay your game only to get Much higher textures isn,t worth it. visuals are already topnotch so why even bother when you have an engine you know and that provides you with more then enough tools to finish all the other aspects of your game.
it will look last gen.but is that bad? for one of the first 3D western adult games that actually seems to go somewhere the graphics look fenominal compared to it,s peers already. and is light years ahead in the adult game scene. it seems what you are expecting is a new dev team being able to compete with triple AAA studios the like of Dice in the graphics department which while it would look nice is not realistic to ask. most people won,t even be able to run the game on the highest setting Making all those extra textures useless for 90% of the playerbase. while actually adding gameplay and different game mechanics(especially regarding sex and how it happens) costs nothing extra to Run on people systems.
believe me i am a huge Graphics and visuals slut like you are but other parts of the game need that 4-5x development speed much more.
