The good, the bad and the ugly
Added 2021-09-17 22:01:01 +0000 UTCHi all,
I just wanted to make a post to update you all on some recent developments. Some good some bad.
Good news is that I bought a RTX 3090, it performs great and hopefully the 24GB of vram should help in any future scenes that have multiple figures in :)
Bad news is that I was somewhat forced into purchasing it as one of my 2080 ti's died on Monday night. I believe it's out of warranty now, but it may be repairable as it seems to be a memory issue, if not I may still be able to sell it on eBay for parts, to recover some money at least.
I've been reluctant to buy a 3090 at the current prices but I had to go ahead and just bite the bullet. I thought the prices were starting to come down but it seems things might be the way they are for quite a while to come yet. Oh well, it's great to have a 3090 at last, it's faster at rendering than I expected, it's just bittersweet that it came at the cost of a 2080 ti.
Perhaps the worst news is that I've got some shall we say unexpected real life duties/commitments. My free time to work on the game will probably be severely curtailed for the next 2 weeks.
In light of that I will put the monthly billing on hold so no one should get charged at the end of the month.
I'm sorry about this, I hope you all understand.
Thank you all as always and take care.

Hello Stiglet! I would like to have a shout out with you :) What do you think about it ? :)
2021-11-08 14:11:09 +0000 UTCI had just played Stars of Salvation and I love it! I thought that The Visit would be a tough act to follow but this game might top it. I'm excited for future updates!

2021-09-23 17:23:22 +0000 UTCNew patron here, just want to say I loved The Visit and decided to support you after I played it. You definitely are one of the best story writers, developers and animators I've come across for adult games. Take it easy during your time off, and we appreciate you and will continue to support<3

2021-09-19 23:14:25 +0000 UTCWell, yes, in general, you are right about the prices, I think it will continue for a long time and it just needs to be accepted, and yet I hope you can get some of the money back when you sell it on eBay

2021-09-18 18:38:39 +0000 UTCFirst of all, congratulations on getting 3090... You know, due to the trade war between China and the United States and the pandemic (thanks to the person who can't even say his name), the real industry is almost at a standstill. In my work, I will come into contact with many technology companies, such as Huawei, Alibaba and, of course, NVIDIA. I can't be too detailed (confidentiality principle). However, personally, because a large number of companies need to make profits by virtual currency（bitcoin ）, the price of graphics cards will not decline in the next one to two years. So you made the right decision.You are one of the most responsible and skilled developers I have ever seen. I hope you are all right

2021-09-18 14:28:48 +0000 UTCI was really stupid not to buy the Rtx 3090 at the end of 2020, it was 1850 euro for the Suprim X version. I'll wait a bit, I hope that prices will return to normal soon. Bought a new laptop though(Rtx 3060). Still have my 2080ti so things aren't that bad.

2021-09-17 23:02:14 +0000 UTCGonna be honest with you. It was better to buy the 3090 now because the prices are going up again. My 3090 was at release (Aorus Xtreme) 2000€, went to 3200€!!!! then a bit back to 2300€ and now its 2600€ and rising again. My 3090 "broke" (causes short circuts so my pc cant turn on) and now its on repair. Im already suspecting that those scumbags are going to take their time till the final day only to lie to me to say its unrepairable, send me the 2000€ back so i have to buy it at a higher price but i will tell them to send me a new one or else im going to sue them. I remember when the 30 series of Nvidia Grafics was announced and 2080ti's were sold at Ebay for (no joke my coworker bought 2 of them instanly) for 200€!!!! dollars.

2021-09-17 22:15:47 +0000 UTCGood luck on your duties. Be sure to have some fun along the way amigo. Kudos on being a 3000 series owner. Welcome to the club! I also had to pay a bit above MSRP for my 3070. Well worth it with it tho. Can run everything at 4K.
