Very nice girl!)) Attractive and sexy) I think she looks alike one girl from "My cute cousine"))) Posible the author has copied your girl and put to his game?)))) Don't you mind?)
thanks for this! im getting 200kb/s on WeTransfer, but 30mb/s with this :)
No clue how to move anything. Using Desktop mode.
Meshed VR
Both of these issues are fixed in upcoming 1.5.1 release. Thanks!
Meshed VR
Future releases will have a patch system instead of the current method.

You are the 2nd person to report this, so there must be some kind of bug. Can you run "VaM (Logged)" shortcut and try again. It should produce a log.txt file that you can then send to me. It will likely have some kind of clue in there for me to figure out what is breaking. Thanks!
Bug: In the old style bedroom, removing or turning off any object does nothing. Also sometimes when loading characters the hair shoots up to the right and is stuck there.
Hi, I'm having an issue that I cant start the game. After the title screen says "loading" and then "ready" I select "ready" and get another loading bar that says "loading atom - atom person" and it just hangs there. I've waited for it to load the atoms and it doesn't move on after 10 minutes, or at all seemingly. I can also interact with the loading bar buy moving it like a slide?

Finally gave this a try today- worked great for me. I know there have been a bunch of bug reports but from my limited usage it was perfect! I love the desktop mode- runs without even spinning up the fans loud on my laptop. And love the built in audio trigger sample scene. Just wanted to say thanks for working so hard on this. I hope now that sound 1.0 is almost out of the way you'll be able to start on the pubic hair, adding new skins and clothing options, and moving to Unity 2018 so we can get better performance! Thanks again MeshedVR!!

Totally seeing a 2-3% overall FPS improvement! (Physics went down oddly) I'm hoping Unity 2018.1 and the new Oculus utility kit will make a big difference in the next release! With altcoin mining, getting an upgraded GPU is next to impossible these days. Thanks for all the hard work, I plan to continue with my $8/month. Enjoy :)

Great as usual! *** There may be a bug with renaming a file or folder. For me, the rename dialog is mostly obscured and I can't see any buttons to commit the name change. Hitting the enter key does not commit the name change either.
Is it possible to download only changed/new files if I already have 1.4.1 installed without redownloading full 1.5 release?
Meshed VR
I have a feeling there is a specific Atom that is broken, and when used, breaks the save system. I'll have to go through them all to see.
Fry
Heya Meshed, Great job, the game loads WAY faster now. Regarding the not being able to save question - I tested it with a brand new scene and it saves. I think the problem happens when I try reloading a previous save from 1.4 - 1.3 was compatible with 1.4, so I think it might be because of the new version of Unity?
Meshed VR
Thanks for reporting. I added to Trello - I'll look into it. <a href="https://trello.com/c/4oJlJktF" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://trello.com/c/4oJlJktF</a>
Possible bug: I'm having a lot of problems with the animation patterns not linking with the control nodes so no movement occurs. Possibly related, but I'm not usually able to select the node on the model to link to - I have to use the drop downs from the control panel. Even after selection though, I'm often not getting any movement. Also, is the reflective slate still an option? I'm not seeing in the item list. Still, great work!

This is going better and better. Just a little request from an Asian: Could you add some Asian style skin, hair, and face types in the future? The current skin sets are on the dark side. I'd really like to see some skin sets which are more white, smooth, and soft, just like this one from a hentai game: <a href="https://imgur.com/a/RWGzf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/a/RWGzf</a>

Thanks Ross! Hopefully the bugs found so far won't get in the way of creating your masterpieces! BTW - that "blue" scene you sent me was incredible. I hope you publish that soon. The characters were alive in that one! I was actually laughing like I was at a real show!!! And your mastery of the limited animation systems. Holy crap! Wow! I'm so thankful to have backers like you!
Meshed VR
Thanks for report. Added item to investigate: <a href="https://trello.com/c/CDo85KcI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://trello.com/c/CDo85KcI</a> I plan on making a patch release in a few days after I have collected all the reports and see what is quickly fixable.

I think local URL might not be working. It must be URL to exact file that ends in .mp3 or .wav or .ogg. I have been using this one as a test and it works on my end: <a href="http://www.sample-videos.com/audio/mp3/crowd-cheering.mp3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.sample-videos.com/audio/mp3/crowd-cheering.mp3</a>

Looking into this one. I was able to repeat it: <a href="https://trello.com/c/CX3ujuN8" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://trello.com/c/CX3ujuN8</a>
Meshed VR
Wow that is odd. Can you do me a favor and run "VaM (Logged)" shortcut and get it to repeat the issue. And then PM me the contents of log.txt that gets created when it is logged. Then I can investigate if there is error produced.
Meshed VR
If you are running in protected area, Windows might be preventing key.json from being written to. You can try installing in another area, or your can manually edit key.json to put the key in there. As for local gif URL, I'll investigate. Made an item for it here: <a href="https://trello.com/c/I14IaDRu" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://trello.com/c/I14IaDRu</a>

Bug Reports. Character hair colour not loading? Had brown haired giirl in 1.4, now loading as red in 1.5. Also, can't delete scenes or looks - a half obscured button pops up that I cant click or read.
RossNutkinChan
Way to go Meshed! With your "this is a marathon, not a race" approach, you are a rising superstar! I thank you and Elon Musk for delivering the future!
DJ
Bug Report: On the control tab of the person control, the 3 "All joints: control..." buttons no longer function. The other buttons function erratically. Best I can tell, they only work on nodes that have had that slider moved since scene load.
He says in the release notes that for now you have to use the Move panel in the UI. Future releases will be able to use the mouse.
Joshua R Dodson
What is the desktop mode currently capable of? I am unable ti move or manipulate anything with the mouse click.
I couldn't figure out how to get a URL sound loaded. Tried to give it a vocaroo link however that did not work. Does the url need to lead to an actual sound file? is it possible to point to local directory, relative to VaM install folder?
Goose.k
Hair morphs are still not getting saved. Now even hair color is not saved
wade
Looks epic meshed!
VR Fan
Don't know if something went wing with my download, but vam is running like a pig, and there are lots of flashing wall panels. Doggy with sound never ran it's animation. No rush, in done playing tonight.
QuarterGamer
Seems like a fun update.
Thanks Meshed! Couple things... It is asking me for a key each time I launch. It didn't do this before. Not sure if there is something I need to do. Also, animated gifs don't work if I load a local URL. They only seem to work with URLs from the web. Should this be possible?
Mo Staff
Go look and let us know!
Thank you! So excited!!!!

YEEEE ty
Didn't see it in the update notes but did more than 2 people in a scene make it?
Gzilla

They should auto-start, but the animation won't start until everything is loaded...
eclypse
Gota be crazy awesome no doubt!! Hope I'm not too hung over tonight to check it out haha.
Turdmonkee
Sorry for dumb question, but the scenes start essentially paused, how to start the animations?
