Yeah I even bought the orange box set;-) thinking eventually Half-Life 3 would come out but noWe are not talking about HL3 here. 3 is a cursed word.

Is this from the Discord? so basically nothing to show for over a years "progress"?Well VAM2 new beta is already delayed and Mesh talks about beta 2, 3, 4, 5... Considering how long it took to go to beta we can easily forget about this![]()
Yes, it will be delayed - currently few weeks and release in January.Is this from the Discord? so basically nothing to show for over a years "progress"?
Had "the community" decided to do this 5 years ago, it probably would have been worthwhile. Whether you do it out of Unity or UE5, chances are getting a VaM clone built before VaM2 is out of Beta seems like something that won't happen. Unless you want to spin up a fairly large dev team from thin air to outpace it.It's why I say community should come together and build an open source version on a good engine.

Yeah I don't really expect VaM2 to completely takeover VaM1 until it exits Beta phase. There are many betas planned after Beta1:
- Beta2 - Skin Physics
- Beta3 - Simulated Clothing
- Beta4 - Simulated Hair
- Beta5 - Animation
- Beta5 - Fluids
Simulated Performance - 2069If only there were more beta's we could soak up more patreon money to sit on... so Meshed's grandkids can have a legacy handed to them.
- Beta2 - Skin Physics - 2025
- Beta3 - Simulated Clothing - 2026
- Beta4 - Simulated Hair - 2027
- Beta5 - Animation - 2028
- Beta5 - Fluids -2029
- Beta6 - Wind Physics - 2030
- Beta7 - Simulated Plugins - 2031
- Beta8 - Simulated Application - 2032
- Beta9 - Simulated Development - 2033
- Beta10 - Simulated Release -2034
Try thisIf there were a way to get VAM1 more performant and add decent looking (TrueFacials style) fluids I think 2.x taking long wouldn't matter too much.
But people are sort of capped on what they can do to fix performance via their own edits or plugins or what realistically can be added beyond content.
2.x needs to get to the point where people can make things for it, even if other aspects aren't finished, and it'll be fine.
I'm aware of the performance patch, but even with this, VaM runs worse than it could had it been programmed better. Not unusable, but less well than it should.Try thisYou must be registered to see the links
with combination of setting shader to medium and hair quality to fast, i can't play VAM without this anymore. As for fluids true facials level of fluids is every vamies dream.
Actually most of the work are doing unity's parameters for multithreading. Meshed posted on discord countdown from 24 hours - maybe today new beta? We'll see.
