Honestly what Meshed did is pretty novel that nobody else really wanted to develop. But at this point if Meshed really wants this project to come into fruition without these crazy delays the code and project files should be made public so that the community can push this project and get it going. The community is what made VAM 1 so good honestly with so many plugins, patches, and content, hell even F95 was responsible for finding some security bugs... Of course without Meshed creating VAM we would have nothing.
But looking at the current status of VAM 2 I doubt we'll see anything worthwhile until mid next year lol. Making games is hard lol, idk if there is some weird physics or math thing thats blocking Meshed and cauing delays. There seems to be a decently sized creator community around VAM they def would help if they can. Not sure why Meshed's supporters are so anal against open sourcing and having the community help build this? At this rate lol we aint seeing shit... Patreon supporters would be still supporting Meshed being the main developer backing and maintaining this project.
