Yeah, and some people like miscreated that are not just tweaking a face and trying to sell it, but genuinely moving the entire genre forward.
I agreed with this. There is a creator named VAMItou who make and ports characters from the video games, definitely deserves support. He share %98 of his looks for free all the time. There is no many creator like this. Example VGC-VR this dude is weird he make and ports characters and make some of them early access but still whining to put them as free... it's 2-3 weeks still his Jade MK9 look early access lol. It's not like a gem, so many of VAMItou's models are better than his also more characters than he ports. Annoying
MikiDesign, Roac, nostage3, Sharr, hazmhox, Acidbubbles, Damar/Damarmau, Kemenate, prestigitis, xstatic, jayjaywon and some others I may have missed, have done a LOT of work for the Vam community for free.
Some of these are game changing plugins as well (timeline, sexhelper, vuml etc).
And sure, some of them are 'early access patreons'
, but I honestly don't mind.
But yeah some are REALLY not worth it
It's Meshed's fault too. If he had made stricter rules regarding paid mods there would be less scam. But he doesn't care, of all the VaM patreons he's the worst.
The paywall mods issue is not a dev issue though.
I'm not trying to flame you, but I can't see how it's Meshed's fault that certain community members have paywalled
themselves.
I understand a comment from him/ her/ der/ die/ das along the lines of "Guys, let's rather keep this a free mod community." can have some effect (not much though, given the nature of Vams community), but in the end it's one creator saying: "Only I can charge for my product and my time spent, but not you" and it'll be seen as hypocrisy.
Regarding the undo plugin, and a LOT of community made plugins: Yes, this
should have been implemented from as early as possible, especially given Vams very twitchy-and-weird-physics nature.
Just don't confuse
could have with
should have, because one implies the dev is competent; that they're just holding out on us and don't rely on the community to to improve the QoL of Vam.
BUUUUUT, it wouldn't surprise me if Timeline, VUML and certain other plugin mysteriously appear in later Vam versions. Take from that what you will.
