At this point Meshed just doing nothing and consuming lots of patreons money each month. Who wouldn't do that at this point. He is doing what clever man do. I know coding is not easy but still there is solid 2 years to atleast release beta.

I think you're underestimating how much work is involved. VAM 2.x is created by just a bunch of people. I think they need more skilled programmers to increase the pace of work, but the question is if they even have enough money do employ more people.

For me, VaM is the best adult game ever created (until now). I don't think the amount of money bein made is unfair (comparing to other games). There are plenty of other creators who makes disproportional amounts of money, specially those Visual Novel money milkers.
Usually I just play a game for 2~10h. If the game is amazing, not more than 20h. I've played Vam far more than 100h. But this is only possible because of the custom content. Indie developers need to allow people to make and share their creations, because they don't have the manpower to make tons of content like a AAA game industry does. This is the way. Wildlife noticed that, and when they released the map creator, the game got much more interesting.
But I'm happy Vam 2.0 won't come soon, because it will crack the playerbase and custom content creators. Some people will stay in 1.0, others will migrate to 2.0. So we will have a fraction of the creations for each one. Interest in VaM is still rising, so it's better to wait until things cool down before launching a new version:

this is more of info for people who don't use official discord.
These last few months on the internet, especially with the arrival of ChatGPT, artificial intelligence has been an extremely popular subject. It has crept over into VAM as people use the figures to conceptualize designs and art. Become so popular they added an official AI subthread on VAM discord where people have been posting their results.
It's extremly easy to setup. One could simply use a pre-existing webui which is fully stocked with keyword prompts on examples to get immediately into generating ones own material at
This is the video tutorial I quickly and easily followed along to at
I wasn't interested in the extra material he covered as in creating photostock library of ones face to train the AI for deep learning, so I only used the sections beginning with python install to around the 4 minute mark when he began to discuss hypernetworks.
Would highly recommend people joining official VAM to see through their thread along with tutorial group learning discussions, and even if one goes ahead and installs Stable Diffusion 1.5 Automatic1111, as described in video above, the playgroundai site is a great resource for easy copy paste of style fields.
Here is a quick example I generated within seconds taking a VAM thumbnail:

Interesting. Now making 3D renders will be much easier. So, brace yourselves! A VN storm is coming!
I recently just started playing VAM and was swept away by the graphics and customizations.
The only thing is, I don't have many scenes installed.
My first ever custom scene came from xxxa, which has set my interest in his facial
animations on the scene as well as the extreme detail and realism of his models.
But he only has limited scenes.
I was hoping someone could recommend to me some artists with exceptional scene creations to contribute to my catalog.

Creating your own scenes is so much better, and its very easy with timeline, especially if you have VR headset

Thanks, I'll check it out. I've been doing a bit of SD training with mixed results. This is such a technological leap forward. I don't think many realize just how much this will potentially impact their lives.
I'm making this post without any sarcasm but could you explain the potential impact on lives you mention?
I have read alot about chatGPT for example but whenever I go to the site to try it the site always says too many ppl are connected so I have not even had a chance to interact with it...

for example i went to twitter today and was just scrolling through all the random stuff. I dont even use it for anything related to graphic imaging but was flooded with hashtags of aiart, etc. Everyone and their grandma is suddenly a digital painter.
From keynotes I have listened to about chatgpt it can and is being used for everything with a million accounts registered only 5 days after they went live. From writing college reports, producing music, to writing code.
What has me interested to see how it evolves because this is only the baby version of sentient being and within 2 years? If it can already write scripts to speedrun games, intelligently train voice impressions ... Remember a few years ago with Project Melody on twitch and everyone was like woah what an anime instead of a girl streamer? Now vtubers are so common, add AI into the mix for viewer interaction and that sounds pretty much like the future of livestreaming with deepfake hypertraining basically looking at Max Headroom from the 80's. AI is the future and its real close to sentient entities with a godlike complex.

How sure are you of your own consciousness? I've argued with chatGPT for a few hours about it's ability to stick to it's guns when it comes to being sentient, but it has messed up and said something like "in humans, we as a ....". I then called it out on this and it really sounded like a human trying to fix its little slip of the tongue.

this thing is really sweet. by installing the stable diffusion server locally one can use a photoshop plugin for seamless integration there for masking, etc.
i'm late to the party learning this stuff too and just stumbled across the site where all the "model packs" are stored. On VAM discord I kept seeing people reference anime or fantasy elf modelpacks and didn't register with me until I saw this:
This is super crazy like being able to easily generate GTA style artwork and modern disney

I was hoping to figure out if I can add morphs of girls from other scenes to a scene, without saving them as a custom morph first (kinda tedeous and duplication)You may want to remove the link to the VaM mod thread, since that now links to dead torrents and serves no purpose.
