VaM2 September Progress Update coming in a few days

I just paid for this, is there no mac version? :(

Hi, for people wants to know...i have a Mac Mini M1 and i have parrallels ( Demo ) arm windows 11 virtualization with VAM going. For a basic model and running 30 frames VAM is not bad. Imagine what the M1 Pro or Max can do. Windows is also very snappy...But acutely the new coming up macbooks are amazing and is it in the future possible to run VAM 2.0 native on ARM? or consider it to port?

it needs have "portability" when one goes from Design mode into Game mode. For instance, in the current Play mode it is still 90% the same as the design interface/mode. By portable I mean, look how easy it is to change out Looks, very easy. But each VAM Scene is a object in itself - its not portable. So if you play it as a game, not much fun, you are just looking around the same scene. To change scenes, require a long load process. Animations again are specific to the Scene, so you cannot reuse them, they are not standardised. So a Creator makes one scene, and thats it, you cannot reuse any of it. So in the end, I have 1000 scenes... its okay for Design, but you cant play with that, the load time would kill any joy. I feel the Play mode should be worked on that makes portability of animations, looks, clothing, lighting, viewport, etc.. that just has icons you can click on or a drop down box. Having one scene at a time and building each scene from scratch is okay if you want to design something and just look a your artwork, but its not playable

As far as I'm concerned, you can do without the video, in my opinion it's a waste of time. It is better to concentrate on the first alpha phase so that everyone can make an impression for themselves and does not have to wait any longer. When videos are made it just costs unnecessary time and they can be used much better to keep the work going, that's just my opinion. I would much rather wish that supporters would receive at least a brief information in between times how far the progress is in order to know what is going on, unfortunately there is hardly any information from the history which I personally find not so nice, thank you very much

Yes I'm still working on it, and I did work on it almost the entire weekend. There is just a lot of work to get the video done. I had to get some form of clothing to work so I can host on Youtube without issue. To make a good demo video nearly requires the first alpha demo itself to be mostly functional. There were a lot of issues and fine tuning to do which became apparent as I started trying to record footage. Instead of posting a video showing these issues, I chose to instead fix the issues. The good news is the alpha demo is that much closer to being done because of this. I'm likely to just post a raw unedited video 1st and then post the update text later so you all will have something to look at while I get the update report written out. Thank you for your patience.

Guys things happen lets not be rude please. I'am sure will know what happened soon .

I was ok with with the first update delay. Even the second delay. But to be late 3 times is not cool. If this continues I will look for another more motivated adult vr game team to support.

I would like to know why I don't get a single message about it when there is new messages here? i am a supporter and only see new messages when i visit this page

Passthrough API with handtracking, omg

excited to see the video Good work Thank you .

So that means that this week only one video will be released and no first version to test yet

Thank you for your patience and I appreciate the supportive messages. I have been working a ton every day since I posted this including last weekend to get the update and video completed. The main issue is creating the video requires some features that were not quite ready to be at least partially working in order to show off the progress in the other areas. The main part that was not fully functional was the model interaction. There was also a ton of tuning and fixes for issues to the physics system that came up while trying to make the video. All of this work needed to be done anyway, so it just means 2.X is that further along. I consider this week to end on Sunday, and I plan to still release the progress update and video before then. Thank you!

You can't download anything that doesn't exist yet. actually the update was supposed to come this week, but I don't see it in the black

cant wait to meet 2.x!

I think 2.X was always marked as a totally new version. The performance improvements will be very welcome, even if backwards compatibility isn't there at launch.

I think it will be the best to make a new version and then to play with the 2 x update on it, otherwise a lot of data will be broken afterwards if you want to continue with the old one. Or is that not an update 2x but you have to download it from scratch because a lot of things no longer work afterwards, such as clothes etc.? if that is the case it would be terrible that all that you bought as a supporter is no longer usable. I paid a lot of money to creators, which was then all in vain :-(

Chicks dig tools 🔧... I can't wait to see whats going to be possible with 2x

Fantastic, one step closer! I'm really curious about that video now.

Thanks for the update! You rock. Keep focusing on the software. You've got our support. Can't wait to see the progress, but always would rather quality and stability first. Software is hard. :)

Great, I'm really looking forward to the update

I really looking forward to 2.X. Keep up the great work!

Maybe you can first release some videos and let us see what features by 2.0

Very exciting announcement. Very eager to see.

Great News. ;-)

I have to ask that: How many people are working on it? :)

Exciting stuff! VAM is making a positive contribution to peoples lives every day the world over. Keep up the good work :-D

HYPEEE CANT WAIT!!!
