The game has a banal lack of optimization, my computer runs more demanding games without problems and they do not use such a huge amount of resources.
I have the same card as you and mine runs perfectly fine after the initial load in. Sounds like you may be having issues somewhere else. Obviously an early access showcase thing is going to have optimization issues as only an idiot would try to iron it out with each build when the next one is just gonna come in and bust it all over again. They get it stable and send it so people can see the new animations and whatever else they sprinkle into it.
Just gonna have to see what the vertical slice brings later this year when they intend to combine all the things they've been working on that we haven't seen yet.
Nothing changes for more than a year
Then you obviously suffer from a serious case of the Stevie Wonders if you cannot see any single changes in over a year.
I do not understand why they want to collect $100K a month, they do not do anything new.
Of course you don't understand why they need to pay all the new employees they've hired over the last year. That's why they run a business and you don't. The 100k mark is the final benchmark to bring on another 2 people... you think artists that skilled get paid minimum wage? Nobody forces you to support them for what they're creating, so how much they make is irrelevant to you.
They went from just 2 people a few years ago and a complete rework of their system from the ground up to nearly 20 people working on the project with the majority being permanent employees. If you don't like how long game development takes that's fine, but don't come in here and say nothing has changed when you obviously don't have the faintest clue about any of it.
There is seriously no other adult game that is on their level of visual and animated skill. So hopefully when we get the vertical slice we will get all the extra elements they've been working on that haven't been going into our sex tech demo's. Their time spent so far is perfectly fine, they aren't some triple A development company with millions of dollars in budget and over 100+ people working on it.
So, lighten up Francis.
