Unity - Virt-A-Mate [v1.22.0.3] [Meshed VR]

What's to say about this? Messy development, poor performance, dreadful UI and UX, and offers absolutely nothing out of the box for the user. It's a glorified poser software where you need to provide everything yourself, that includes models, maps, animations, sounds... And controls like complete garbage on a flat screen to boot.

With that said, yes there are some interesting scenes made by users, thing is these scenes are basically just 3D versions of what you'd find on those old flash games that were popular 10 years ago where all you'd do is select from a handful of "poses" and an animation would loop indefinitely. That's essentially all that this software is good for. Frankly, it wouldn't be so egregiously bad if 2/3 of the features weren't locked behind a Patreon subscription (fucking typical ), and if that wasn't enough you also have those greedy fucks that lock scenes and dependency files behind their own Patreon subscriptions. No better surprise than downloading a scene and discovering that for it to work you need a series of files some schmuck paywalled.

It's just a piss poor experience throughout, even if you do find a decent scene here and there. And frankly, I'm left wondering why even the creative types would want to waste their time with this. Blender exists for all your modelling and animating needs, no need to mess around with such a jank ass program just because it supports VR, being able to look around the scene hardly justifies the headache if you ask me. Maybe it's the potential payout from all the horny gooners with more money than braincells, who knows.

As a porn simulator, it's a good program. But the physics aren't as good as we'd like. And it needs optimization so that, regardless of the plugin, it loads content as quickly as if no content from the hub were added.

A game with insanely high learning curve, but once you master it, there is nothing else on the market that comes even close. Every Illusion game is an obsolete garbabe in comparison. If you don't know at all what this game is - it is a "make your own scenario" type of a game, where you can also play other people scenarios. It also has the best character creator on the market, with hundreds of models on its files hub.

What's absolutely great about this game is the physics engine, which allows for some crazy realistic stuff, however it's not perfect, it's performance heavy and clunky, but still it's the best you can get in a sandbox real-time game right now. It also has simulated clothing, which reacts to what you do with it, which is mind-blowing, although, as mentioned above - still a bit clunky.

Now, I must say that this game is only as good as it is because of the community and hundreds of plugins and mods that are available on the hub. I wouldn't play this game at all without the plugins, it's too rough around the edges. So if you tried this game in 2018, give it a go again, you can do a bit more with it right now.

As much as I admire this game, it's slowly getting a bit dated, and everyone is eagerly awaiting its successor, or anything else that come close, but sadly, nothing like that is on the horizon.

I played this game for a long time now. There are new scenes and looks released every day. The making of VAM2 is in progress. A big advantag compaired to other games is, that it is compatible with Virtual Reality.

This game does not really working out of the box: it has a few poor demo scenes for starters, but above this there is only some sandbox features, but I won't critique them cuz barely interested in making scenes - I'd rather experience something already managed and well-directed for the end user than puffing my ass in creating something edable with my own hands.

One of the best VR game I've ever played. The most incredible and impressive part of the game is its powerful physics, which makes the mate in game hot and real. Users can create content and share it in the community, fulfill the game and make it a better one. I love this game, it brings me creativity and passion, and makes me think about the future of a real good VR game.

This isn’t really a game but more of a sandbox where you can create anything you want. It has a steep learning curve and a nightmare of a UI, but it’s absolutely worth the effort. If you enjoy Western VNs with DAZ renders, this will blow your mind. You can create those graphics and so much more, with fully animated scenes and your favorite characters. Your only limit is your imagination. I’ve spent thousands of hours in VaM, designing scenes and exploring creations from others. My wholehearted advice: don’t be intimidated by the UI. Once you learn the ropes, you’ll see that no other game offers this level of graphical quality and creative freedom. It is my #1 game / experience to play without a doubt.

Not a VR user.
I wouldn't consider this a game but more of an accessible animation+physics program.
The physics are great, visuals are nice, and the community is very active.

Virt-A-Mate is extremely flexible and offers a large amount of customization. The possibilities for what you can do and create is near endless. It is crazy what you can do with virt-a-mate You can recreate and download characters from different types of media, play dress up and pose, play around with the physics system, create scenes of any type, create content for other games, turn a cotton dress into a chainmail dress ect, recreate scenes with character swaps, create simple games . It's more than a sex sim.
If you do not not want to create content you can download scenes created by other users and do as you wish.
It has somewhat of steep learning curve but is easier than something like SFM or Blender by far if you stick with plugins created by community members.

There are just a few downsides. Performance can tank pretty hard once more than 1 character is on the screen and they have hair simulation enabled with clothing. Virt-a-mate does not care much about high end hardware.
The UI is unintuitive a good bit of functions are unclear.
The bugs and technical issues can get pretty bad, catastrophically bad like cause you to lose hours of work bad. A characters leg going crazy before throwing everything into a physics explosion when you load your scene to continue work , a plugin would just break, or a scene will get stuck running at 5 fps on load when nothing was changed. There also appears to be some sort of memory leak. The game needs to be shut down and restarted periodically during use to prevent crashes and windows errors.

It requires a lot of patience and I would recommend this.
I would recommend at least making a single purchase or donating at the very least if you end up using this for an extended period of time.

I absolutely love VAM! As many have said, it’s not a game in the traditional sense; it’s more like a 3D/VR engine, used by creators and players to create porn scenes; as such, player experience may vary.

First thing to understand is that it’s not very user friendly and I spent a lot of time just trying to navigate between the menus, download and install some scenes, skins and stuff. Second thing you have to make peace with: unless you have some background as a programmer, you will not create scenes; you’ll have to download content. The creation tool is powerful but not noob-friendly at all.

That being said, if you hold on to make it work and spend some time searching for content adapted to your kinks, it’s the absolute best porn experience available today! Since it’s a very big project, with hundreds of great creators, thousands of scenes and a very dedicated community, I’ll just share here my experience and why I enjoy it so much.

First of all, graphics are truly amazing: the base game is decent, but some modders make honestly fantastic work with textures and animations. The first week after I understood how to install mods and skins, I was completely flabbergasted and severely sleep deprived from fapping exhaustion!

The second element, but certainly the most important is that you need to spend some time to find scenes that make you tick. I can only speak for myself, but I’m awfully depraved and I like my porn pretty spicy; it took me some time to find some content creators who satisfied my degenerate soul. The reason for that is that there are a lot of scenes you can download, and (I think) some keywords are banned. The second reason is that a lot of content creators use Patreon and it’s not easy to find something that correspond to your taste and is free. To be honest, I (had to) became a Patron to three content creators to enjoy their work (without regrets).

But really, the game overflows with great content, from short simple scenes made for desktop users, to very immersive and long scenes with dialogues options, to perfect animation motion capture scenes, sexy dances, interactive training… At the end of the day, if you haven’t found your kink… well, continue the search! Because it is here! Parenthesis: the “game” part is mostly searching for the perfect scene (clown hat, curly hair, smiley face).

Third thing I love about VAM, and another important part of the game is finding skins (characters, dolls…) to play in the scenes you’ve downloaded. It’s like playing a harem game, but as I speak, with more than 6 000 girls to choose from! Besides, it’s pretty easy to change clothes or hairstyles, so if it’s something you enjoy, you can really have fun here. Again, some creators made absolutely ravishing models and the choice is pretty insane; for the connoisseur, some manga-style models are available, and it’s not hard to change a hetero scene into a gay scene if you want to. However, some scenes and models need some fiddling with the body size to put things where they are supposed to go (or not!).

Everything considered, it’s an absolute classic for the discerned gentleman, but you’ll need to work for it. As with many games nowadays, the true value of the game reside in the modding community. Be aware that you’ll need a decent computer to make the game work with high fps. I haven’t tried VR, but most things I’ve read about it are very positive.

Try to be adequate, so let's score 0 to 5 - gameplay, graphics, plot, sound, and considering it porn game, need to compare sex scene - customization, interactivity, manipulation, animation, physics.

gameplay / plot - 4 (l2p)
sound - 5
graphics - 5
animation / physics - 5 - (it have own physic engine!!!)
interactivity / manipulation / customization - 5

4+5+5+5+5/5=
Total score is 4.8

This is not really a game, but the best porn project on this site

It's not really a 'game'. It's a content creation tool.

People created a ludicrous amount of scenes, models, mods, that you can download with an ingame browser that is very easy to use and has many features like sorting for the newest or most popular, filter paid or free content, etc

Graphics can look good or bad, depending on how the scene was created (lighting, models, mods, etc). You can find a lot of good content, though.

Downloading scenes is easy, but creating/editing a scene can be challenging. (too many buttons, no ingame documentation to help you figure out how to do what you want)

It works both with or without a VR headset.

Best sex simulator ever. VR is cool but optional. Tough to learn at first but way better than anything else trying to do the same thing.

This is a bit shocking that VAM doesn't have many rating here and is buried under hundreds of cheap games getting weekly updates.
The community for VAM is huge, there is so much content that you could fill up a 2 TB drive. The gameplay keeps getting improved by modders.

Even tough the game core didn't get any update for a long time, there is a huge difference between what can be done now and what was possible just one year ago.

Best VR simulator out there with a huge community. Everything is physics based so it can look good but can also be jank af. With some plugins you can make girls look alive even without premade animations. Relatively easy to mod because it uses DAZ and Unity.
Downsides: requires the best PC you can find and a lot of learning. Also, it uses DAZ and Unity.

Big learning curve but miles ahead of anything out there. Be sure to augment it with plugins, looks, and assets from the great community. Acidbubbles and Macgruber are absolute kings in the field. Get familiar with morphs to customize models(atoms)

Amazing. The best H game to date.

I've tried top tier games like Honey Select 2/Koikatsu/COM3D2/Project Helius stuff. This beats them all. There is a bit of a learning curve to understand how it all works. You need to find the pre made scenes you want and away you go.

Very excited for 2.x of this in future.

Just to add I dont have VR and play via mouse and keyboard.

It is still in progress, so rating may change depending how it finishes but I doubt it will since it is just a simulation type game.

This game is great! The models look great and if you have a good rig it runs smooth. You can everyone into snowbunnies which is the best part. It’s basically like a program where you can create your own LI and make her do your bidding. Can’t wait for the next generation upgrade for better simulation and graphics.

I've supported VAM for several months on Patreon and even bought assets to use with it, but I eventually had to delete it because it was causing me more frustration than enjoyment.

VAM shows a lot of promise. You can get or create some really gorgeous looking models and outfits and some very sexy situations. And you can watch in VR and you can even trick yourself into thinking you can participate.

But then reality hits and the limitations of this software rear their ugly heads. I don't call it a game because while some people have shoehorned something game-like into this, those experiences are extremely limited.

The reason is that the interface is atrocious. Somehow that word doesn't even seem to describe how bad it is. It's bordering on unusable. I had to read and watch an hour or two of tutorials to get this to do anything, let alone anything interesting.

Even when you do get it to work, there's so many irritating quirks. For example, if you find a scene you like with nice animations and you want to switch out the model it came with, you can do it, but 9 times out of 10 something is going to go haywire and mess everything up and then you got a dude humping air and lady in suplexing herself. Trying to select body parts to put back in place is nigh impossible and then actually putting them back in place is literally impossible.

None of the interactive stuff really works. Some of it kind of works, but not well. For example, removing clothes feels like wiping off slime that usually just snaps back into place.

Here's a typical experience. You find a scene you like and you want to get a better view. You click through 5 menus go into first person. It makes you a little nauseous, but you power through and try to grab a boob but it causes the models to get tangled up. You virtual penis flops out and you try to put it back, but it's like the hardest game of whack-a-mole you ever played. Then when you give up you've got to click through 5 menus to get out of first person and hope you didn't break the scene which you definitely did. So you gotta click through another 5 menus to reload the scene, wait 3 minutes for scene to reload, try to calm your nausea from the low frame rate, and if you've still got a boner after all of that you're some kind of animal.

In summary, this isn't a game or even a game engine, but more like photoshop (GIMP really) for virtual porn scenes. You can make just about anything you put your mind to, but it is an extremely high learning curve and very frustrating. Using it to watch other people's stuff is hit or miss. As mentioned the interface is god-awful and so interacting with anything is a chore. Updates tend to break a lot of things and there's mountains of plug-ins to track down, so you'll be lucky to get anything close to what was intended. Just a really frustrating and disappointing experience.

A very promising project. Excellent graphics quality, great physics, a huge community that replenishes 3D models and additional plugins, not to mention regular updates from the game developers. Not to mention the possibilities for virtual reality.

Look good on paper. If you played any game with this type of similarity you know what you're doing. Not gonna lie I did have a hard time understanding the game. Creator and free mode seem to be the same. You start out with a white room grounded in a void. Pretty much a sandbox game with limited created opinion. If their a tutorial posted I would change my view on this to 5 because the game does look promising.

Cool game. I haven't even played with a VR set, still enjoying it a lot. This is by far the best I've seen so far when it comes to touching characters and interacting with their clothes. Graphics are quite realistic as well and games like this gets a bunch of fan service content so you're in for a ride. Only downside is keyboard/mouse controls are complicated like it's managable but a basic motion of grabbing girl's tits can take a while to figure out. Maybe they'll make it more convenient for keyboard/mouse in the future ? I don't know. It's still worth playing imo.
