Receiver Graphical Performance

Are performance improvements planned? Because I feel like the game runs worse than it should on my machine. It's no super computer but I figured it should be able to run something as simple looking as Receiver without any frame drops.
My specs:
i5-2320 3.00GHz
Asus GTX560ti DCU2 1GB
8GB RAM
Even on the lowest graphical option it still regularly dips into the 30s running at 1080p.
The frame drops don't really affect gameplay all that much but I was just curious how it ran for every one else.

It's half because of Unity. Unity isn't exactly the most fantastic engine when it comes to performance.

Yeah, i have a high end PC, yet it lags quite alot for me sometimes.
Normally, when i restart my computer it helps.
Also try running on Fastest setting, its not much different from Fantastic...

it's mostly due to Unity's bastard business model, where occlusion culling (which is essential for any reasonable 3d game) is disabled unless you pay for the Pro version

That can't be the reason. Unless I'm mistaken, the pro version is needed to add shadows. Since there are shadows, Receiver must be built on the pro version.
That said, who knows what kind of optimizations they had time to implement. I expect they will continue to add some improvements. Currently, the game is over demanding.

hmm, yeah, I forgot about the shadows, I usually play on lower settings. It'd be cool if we could get some official word on this, what's their plan and all

Another post brought this link up. The future looks bright:
Hard:
- background loading of new tiles
- occlusion culling

I would assume this is because it hasn't been optimized, as it wasn't in development very long.

I took the source and compiled it myself a few weeks ago.
Pre-built binaries: ~10 FPS, constant stuttering
Compiled from unity files: 60+ FPS, extremely smooth, even towards the upper graphic levels
Not sure if it'll work for everyone, but it seems to have worked for me.
