Thoughts
In general, I could not fix the video card yesterday. (I do not know how to repair video cards) It looks like I have to buy a new one.
But first, a little math.
For eight months at Patreon, I received $ 1,982.00, approximately 11% took Patreon and payment systems. It turned out $ 1764. I spent $ 800-900 on the translation and bought a mouse, HDD, 8Gb RAM for $ 200. All amounts are not entirely accurate, but now I have accumulated exactly $ 650, this is all that I could earn in 8 months. All this time I have been saving up for a new computer: CPU + motherboard + RAM. It takes about $ 1200. I thought that by May I could accumulate the necessary amount. It will just be the year I released the first chapter. And now this money will have to be given to a new video card, which will not even be the best! At the same time, I will have a bad computer, which constantly freezes during rendering. And when I can save to a new computer, I do not know. Honestly, this is the first time when do feel like I giving up.
At the expense of updates. They are not canceled anyway! That's for sure! I will take a video card from a friend (again) and release 0.2.5 as promised. But what to do next, I do not know yet...
In general, my lunch ends and I have to go to work. When 0.2.4 will be ready, I will release.
P.S. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR MONEY! I just wanted to share information. If before reading this message you did not plan to support me financially, then do not do it now. I will not be comfortable. I AM SERIOUS, DO NOT!!!
В общем, я не смог вчера починить видеокарту. (Я не умею чинить видеокарты) Похоже придется покупать новую.
Но сперва немного математики.
За восемь месяцев на Patreon я получил $1,982.00, примерно 11% забрал Patreon и платежные системы. Получилось 1764$. На перевод я потратил 800-900$ и купил мышь, HDD, 8Gb RAM за 200$. Все суммы не совсем точные, но сейчас у меня накопилось ровно 650$, это всё что я смог заработать за 8 месяцев. Я всё это время копил на новый компьютер: процессор + материнская плата + оперативная память. Нужно примерно 1200$. Я думал, что к маю смогу накопить нужную сумму. Как раз будет год как выпустил первую главу. А теперь эти деньги придется отдать на новую видеокарту, которая даже не будет лучшей! При этом у меня останется плохой компьютер, который постоянно зависает во время рендеринга. И когда я смогу накопить на новый компьютер, я не знаю. Честно говоря, это первый раз, когда у меня опускаются руки…
На счет обновлений. Они не отменяются в любом случае! Это точно! Я возьму у друга видеокарту(опять) и выпущу 0.2.5 как обещал. А вот что делать дальше я пока не знаю…
В общем, у меня заканчивается обед и мне нужно идти работать. Как будет готова версия 0.2.4, выпушу.
P.S. ЭТО НЕ ПРОСЬБА О ДЕНЬГАХ! Я просто хотел поделиться информацией. Если до прочтения этого сообщения вы не планировали поддержать меня финансово, то не надо делать это сейчас. Мне будет не удобно. Я СЕРЬЕЗНО, НЕ НАДО!!!

I am not good at this so please people for give me for my bluntness. You stated how much you have but not what you need. You can get a replacement card for the $650 you have but from the sound of it not the card you want. How much is the video card that you want. Also this was going to set you back on getting a new system how much would be needed to do a complete upgrade system +card? I will look for the answer when I return from work.
Your question is absolutely adequate. Naturally, I would like to save for the best video card from Nvidia, something like GTX 1080ti or RTX 2080ti. So you do not have to spend money on an intermediate option. Yes, this is a great audacity, and a very serious amount, but I was in no hurry and was ready to slowly save the required amount. My 770 coped well, I rendered 24/7. I need a new computer due to the lack of RAM and departures. Plus, while posing models, when I try to move the model, the program hangs for a couple of seconds, and when it hangsoff, the model flies off the edge of the screen. This happens two or three times a minute, and it slows down the pace very much, and when you consider that I work on the game in the evenings, after work, it really bothers me. Plus, the pose itself is very slow. That is why I first wanted to buy a new processor, and with it I will have to buy a motherboard and RAM. The I7 8700 processor in Russia costs $ 500, the motherboard is $ 200, the RAM is 32Gb $ 380 (by the way, it fell in price when I looked last time, it was $ 500). The amounts are large, I know, but I was in no hurry and was quietly saving up. Now nothing terrible has happened! I'll just review my plans and that's it, nothing to worry about! Sorry for the English, I translate from the phone, there is no possibility to edit the translation.
I would totally support you and other developer more like I did in the past, but now that I moved out of my parents house the money is really tight, so I had to cut my support on Patreon from 25 games down to 2. So yeah I wish I could do more.
And that's fine! I know how hard it is to make money, and I understand everything perfectly. That’s why I don’t ask someone to help me. I'll deal with everything! Do not worry! Thanks for the support!
I am truly shocked that you have so few patrons.. as you game is super good and the quality... So ppl readign this support him ... it's worth it.
I have few patrons due to rare updates. I hope that if I start doing updates quickly, then everything will be fine!
