Has the game gone through optimization? Or is this something that will be done before release?

Has the game gone through optimization yet? Or is that something that's going to happen before official release?
I'm so excited to get the game! I just need to build my new computer

(Going with the GTX 770 Twin Frozr OC Edition GPU, 8GB RAM, AMD FX 6300 6 core 3.5Ghz CPU [Will overclock it of course] and the ASRock 970M PRO3 motherboard)

I'm certain these PC specs are already good enough to play the alpha, but just wondering how the performance of the game will be after official release [big grin] Thanks!

Optimization generally happens at the end of the project once the game is feature complete. But since the alpha is available to the public they might be doing a bit along the way just to keep the game playable. But I wouldn't expect to see major optimization until the beta phase.

OK, that's good to hear at least! Knowing that my system I am building will probably be able to handle 40-60 fps in the alpha from what people have told me about the GPU I am choosing, It should probably perform much better after the official release [squeeeeee]

I would be surprised if they don't work on optimizations all throughout the dev process. Each major alpha/beta patch should contain at least a couple of graphic engine updates, even if they are small.
