you guys are funny. do you have any idea the clusterfuck HT would be inviting if he let people mod a game still in its alpha stages and their mods broke every new release? it would be fucking pandemonium in that discord server.
lemme clear some things up:
- there's literally a moderator whose job is to interact with the public in the discord server. they're actually pretty nice. this is not one guy barricaded in a room anymore, he has staff.
- complete the tutorial and switch to free mode. every time you open the game the default bj position will be the first thing you see, just like the old game. you're welcome.
- the secrecy is entirely due to the fluid physics. i got into VAM when HT disappeared and there is still no one doing it as well as he does when it comes to liquid physics. give credit where it is due: shit is insane, and everyone with half a brain would steal it if given the chance.
- i spent 2 years in VAM. there's learning curves to both, but the VAM learning curve is HUGE. you have to learn cycleforces or plugins to even get shit moving once you've lined it up. you have to hand light your scenes. even if you get started only playing someone else's scenes you will inevitably want to start customizing stuff, and the clock immediately begins ticking on whether you have the patience for it. lots of us don't.
- turn the frame limit down to 20 and vertical sync off in TF if you have a potato. my trusty spud had 4 girls onscreen the other day. you cannot do that shit in VAM with physics on a potato PC. your rig starts simming hair on 2 girls and everything is now running slow as fuck.
- the community is in the discord sharing poses and scenes. some of them have figured scripting out and are releasing new modes you select like story/free mode that transition between positions all while you sit and watch. it makes the sandbox aspect the devs switched to totally worth it, and this release has only been out a couple of weeks.
yes, henry taiwan is a total fucking flake who will probably find a way to disappear again. but the last update alone is full to the brim with potential. posing is janky as shit and optimization needs seeeeerious work, but we're in a very cushy position to watch this thing develop and round robin paying for the updates to share the files and passwords with everyone else. i wouldn't be as intrigued if i was paying 20 buxx every month for the pro version; i'd probably skip and sub seasonally as i've done to other people. but if the folks who can afford it have to front the cost to see what comes next before HT falls off the face of the earth again, i'm down to sit on the sidelines with popcorn.
not sure i'm allowed to link the discord, DM me if you can't find it.
