Can you use VaM without a vr headset?? i seen a while back where someone said you could but i havent been able to find any info on the patron site

I downloaded VaM to see if it was different to last time
Again it has really good characters, physics and some trigger zones
And yes you could make some really good scenes however thats it

The greatest thing about X Story Player is its easy to edit code
I have made a blackjack and poker game with cards that show up on the table
i have made a physics puzzle map with statues that turn around and a INFURIATING ball game

I don't think XPA ever intended the game to be used to do such things but it is possible

I still fully intend to make my RPG game and heres the thing, code wise i can make it now
however in 3.5 the lighting and how the engine handles the models would let it down

You can, with limited functionality. IMO it's nowhere near XSP in terms of general interactivity.

Come on Eskarn, give us a tiny sip of news man. I managed to develop a company while waiting for the new version.

Just a couple thoughts to add to recent comments. First, Virt-a-Mate isn't similar to XStory at all. About the only thing in common are some soft-body physics interactions. No gameplay elements at all. There might be a good future for that project, but right now, it's just a tech demonstration. Second, if the devs posted a comment like "development is ongoing" periodically, people would soon start to whine about the lack of details, and it'd be no different than the complaints about no updates at all. I can practically read the future posts explaining that just because they say they're working on it doesn't mean they are, and that unless they provide some details, we shouldn't believe that the game isn't dead. If they knew what will end up in the next version, and when it will be fit for the release, they'd almost certainly say so. It seems clear to me that they don't know what they'll be able to deliver or when, and don't want to make promises on either front (which is what any discussion of details or release date would be interpreted as by the kind of people who curiously keep coming back to claim the project is dead, over and over). Ultimately, nothing anyone writes here is going to impact when or if the game is released.

Can you use VaM without a vr headset?? i seen a while back where someone said you could but i havent been able to find any info on the patron site

IMO it's nowhere near XSP in terms of general interactivity. Having tried VaM superficially, this is correct. VaM is still more a tech demo - although one with lots of configurability - than an actual game. However, VaM is being actively developed. In a year or so it might be roughly comparable to XSP sans stories. The simulation tech will probably take a little longer to catch up (unbuttoning and fluid simulation currently missing, to name a few, simulated hair already working though), and it will depend a lot on Unity engine capabilities. On the other hand, graphics are much better already now simply by virtue of using Unity engine (V2 to use Unity HDRP) and DaZ figures (which also gives VaM a future-proof source of figure upgrades). I don't expect to see story-type content for a while though, likely VaM development work will concentrate on improving the technology for a long time, with content mainly being developed to demonstrate the technology. So, lots of work remaining, but most promising alternative to XSP I've seen so far. It's an engineer's porn game though, you have quite low level access to all the figure controls and having prior experience with DaZ figures helps a lot in understanding how e.g. the morphs work. In a way this is promising - the author is providing a huge amount of control to users and (I'm guessing) will rely on users to produce content for the game. In any case, good enough for me to support their Patreon.

Since this time last year, I've rebranded 19 businesses and I'm continuing to provide marketing support for all of them. You wouldn't happen to need branding, print or marketing support, would you?

I ve had a kid, and he is now 23 month old. So yeah, time flies AF. To Eskarn. As for your comment about devs commenting here being useless, that s BS. There s no way i ll ever agree that no communication, 100% black hole is better than communicating with the risk of a few people misunderstanding intents or words.

I have done a lot on this forum but that post was not one of them. I've always believed that XPA should pop in and say hi every now and then even if its just a few words.
