1.4 Running Behind! Eek!
🕑 Added 2017-12-20 21:35:47 +0000 UTC During my final testing I ran into some issues in the built application that were not apparent in the editor. These are difficult to debug and address and it takes nearly 30 minutes to rebuild the app these days (something I will improve for next release so I can be more productive). The main issue is rather serious as it prevents all clothing from rendering and that was a huge part of 1.4. So I must fix before I can release.In any case, I have only had an hour of sleep in last 34 hours and I need to catch some ZZZs before I can solve these last few issues. Not exactly sure when it will be out, but hopefully tomorrow. I was really trying to complete today, but it looks like it just won't make it. Apologies for those eagerly awaiting your holiday present.

I'm most excited for future of animation of parameters and the trigger system. That will make for some serious creative options.
Seriously, your the best!
Meshed VR
yeah all the clothing and hair textures added a huge amount to this build
Meshed VR
ok guys seriously hope you enjoy it and lives up to the delay and probably too big of hype. many more hype-worthy things in future though. :)
wat! i get to wait 6 hours ;(
Meshed VR
wow
Done!

I'm looking into new incremental install/patch system to avoid this massive download every time...
Meshed VR
how fast is your internet access? Nearly 4GB. :(
How many people are naked right now with VR headsets on? Likes count as votes too...
Meshed VR
it's ok i'm going to sleep for 2 days now. hope you guys don't find any show stopping bugs that prevents you from completing your business. :)

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it...

Also happy holidays and merry Christmas eve eve eve

Just had a terrible vision of Meshed passed out in a puddle of drool on his keyboard, an endless stream of mashed qwerty repeating through his code. Surely Trello should be helping to avoid the crunch, maybe the next release can be a little less ambitious. :) We're certainly not a demanding bunch, we really appreciate the effort! Audio will be such a beast, maybe it can be done in little chunks.
My keyboard F5 button's font is erased!

Damn right!
Only hourly?
This is the first time I've ever refreshed a Patreon page on an hourly basis LMAO
If this was multiplayer I would teabag everyone!!!
We're gonna break the servers when you give us the go ahead!
Gzilla
Awesome message to see, cus I just got home from work lol
Fingers crossed everybody!!!
Meshed VR
Looks like build has just about passed through QA team (me!) testing. All the issues I found earlier have been fixed! Only a few more small tests to run.
Ima just sit here and wait
Can't wait for the new version, keep up the great work. Doesn't matter when the new version comes out, I'm looking forward to it for sure. The amount you're doing as a solo developer is astonishing.
Yeah man, we're all anxious as hell but you're work is phenomenal and we want you to STAY HEALTHY enough to keep working on it! Don't burn yourself out!
QTrap
I'm a developer and I speak from experience when I say the development place you've been keeping is quite impressive. Keep it up, but guard against fatigue. We don't want you to burn yourself out.
I do believe that I have never been so excited for a game update!
you got 'er
Thanks for the updates Meshed. You should know, patreons are only so active /hyped/vocal because we love your product and work. You're more active and responsive than Blizzard or who-ever. Keep up the good work (Y)
Spacepal
Hang in there bud!
Meshed VR
It is mundane things like Santa Hat only work 1st time you turn it on, and then it stops working until you restart or hard reset. That is just 1 example. Had about 3 or 4 of these little things I just don't like to put in if they are a known issue and I can fix very easily. If the fix is something that will take longer than 10 minutes, I will hold off. One example I just hit is the new hair morphs are not saving on the scene save. This is getting listed in Known Issues instead of getting fixed before release since it will take more work to correct. But because of this I had to modify a few scenes to change hair so it would look right.

I think it’s mostly the surprise of the specifics what you’re tweaking/adding that makes the wait for difficult lol. I think if we knew more of what’s coming we would ease up and stop checking every 5 minutes lmao
It's all good as long as the communication is there. It's only when you have radio silence when there is a prob. Keep it up.
rogmac3
Big Up for The Artist, you are a perfectionnist man, we can understand.
Dragonix84
The more fixes the better :) Nice to have a creator who cares about the polish of their product.
Fillup Ramseez
hey man, me too but let's not rush the sole creator. take as long as you need meshed!
Think it has a chance of coming out within the next few hours? So excited to try it out!
Meshed VR
I'll be better about this going forward. I try to do too much sometimes and this is what happens...
Gerd Mullah
My body is ready :D
Dont put yourself so much pressure plz!
Thx a lot for your great work! Plz get more sleep in future. I fear you are getting burned out!!!
Pan's Ex
Yay brother!

Eeeeeee! :D
Meshed VR
Thanks all for your kind words and encouragement! I'm back on it after some much needed rest! I'm testing what I think is the final build now. I fixed over nearly 20 issues (most small) over the last 48 hours to try to keep the quality high. VaM has gotten bigger so it is getting harder and harder to test everything. I don't want to hold you off much longer, so if I find minor issues, I will not delay, I will just list them in known issues section and hope for a patch at a later date (or possibly just next release if it isn't terrible). What is left after the final run through testing is zip up, upload, and make the release notes and posts! That all does take some more time (I do some of it while zip is uploading), but I really don't think it will be long now! Thanks for your patience!
Randy Brooks
It can wait. Don't kill yourself to make it happen. Make sure you take time now to spend time with family and friends. You only get so many holidays with people you care about on this big blue marble. Merry Christmas, or whatever event you choice to celebrate.
I think the active community is largely due to Meshed's active participation and transparency with the project. Plus it doesn't hurt that everybody is genuinely very hyped for the product.

Refreshing this page multiple times today like crazy.
Good I managed to simulate breathing action by attaching torque force to abdomen mode, it is locked relative to body, so will work with body in all orientations. Also attached grab at hip level to own virtual feet to simulate walking etc while in possession mode. Not sure if useful.
Very engaged community I must say. I like it. How's everybody holding out? ;)
This discussion is more fun than the game..
All my this. That's one of the great things about the concept of Patreon...so long as there remains good faith between both parties, we can treat each other like human beings rather than business parties attached to strict deadlines. While naturally both we and he should expect/aim for some degree of regularity and quality in releases, understanding and earnest support for individual well-being is just as important. Don't forget, Meshed updates his Trello regularly to maintain a wonderful degree of transparency, a practice all creators should consider adopting.
some of us have families after all. Maybe most of us do...otherwise why would we want vrporn instad of real :) or is it just me?
Hey, we are patreons, not shareholders. Have sleep, do what you do best, and a day or two does matter not.
Got to admire the commitment, awesome work by the way, go get some sleep bruh....
Meshed VR
I'll be a broken down machine for a few days after this. :)
You're a machine.
Meshed VR
Yeah actually still awake...trying to finish up last few things and then I can kick off what I think is final build. I can sleep some while it is building. :)
Hello. Are you awake now?
@Meshed VR Go to sleep :) is very important for you're healt.....and the 1.5 :D :D :D ^^ You make a real dream in digital, my wife like too ^^ AWESOME :3
SupMyDude
All good dude, hang in there. If you do, we will! Thanks for the hard work! I know this will be awesome!
Meshed VR
I'm super close now, but I'm completely out of steam. Need to get a couple hours of sleep and then I'll get back to it. Also ordered a new computer which should speed things up for future releases. 30 minute build times and memory issues are killing me.

1. I didn’t know meshed hired a secretary?
AWWalker
Bed. That way you get some sleep. And if its right, it'll be out. If it's not, then it's not. :) stop pestering lol... and hear i am ... TFB
SupMyDude
lol same

No rush, just wondering if it’ll be done within 2 hours or so? Wondering if I should just hit the bed or not lol

how many mins ?
Gzilla
soonish... :P
matthew b
is the update out ?
Meshed VR
Tonight is a relative term. I plan on staying up until it is done...might regret saying that in a few hours.
I wonder if it'll be released tonight :)
Gzilla
I'm sure that's correct, plus this is the most realistic one aside from VRgirlz, which I think crapped out. I was playing honey select, I actually got rid of those and just play this one now. The community makes a lot of scenes and the developer keeps us up to date on everything and is up front. It's just great overall
Actual potato
the crazy part is as far as i can tell this is all made by ONE DUDE imagine when this kind of adult entertainment gets mainstream enough for there to be REAL money behind it. what a time to be alive
Gotta love the dedication
Zarniwoop
Take your time. A good release late is better than a bad one on time.
We appreciate your dedication, do take good care for the holidays, and that goes for this fantastic MeshVR commmunity too.
fantastic great work!, we all cant wait lol been checking every half an hour
Meshed VR
I finally found the root issue that was causing the builds to not have clothing assets working. I have fixed that and am now onto the other final details. I plan on working as much as possible tonight to complete the rest of the release.
Dragonix84
Hoping we can get it before tomorrow :D
super eager for 1.4, any news on an actual release?
Pan's Ex
I just discovered this project and from the few hours I have had to play it, VAM is pretty extraordinary. And it is awesome to see so much support from the community as Meshed is working so hard to get the latest build out - really makes me want to be involved. Best wishes Meshed, you're awesome.
Gzilla
Please be safe, I don't mind a delay and I'm sure the rest of us don't mind either.
That Patron count is going up at a good pace. Guess word is getting out about this game. It's gone up by around 200 since in joined 2 weeks ago.
Don’t burn yourself out! Health is most important, we can wait lol
Meshed VR
Yeah you guys are awesome!
Meshed VR
I'll take a bit of time off after this release to recharge. No worries though I love this stuff!
Meshed VR
Fortunately my kids are old enough to unlock doors and feed themselves. haha! :)
Zman40
No worries Meshed, that's understandable, have to sleep a little, we can wait.Good luck for the completion of the 1.4, and it will come when it will be good ;)
I like this community. This is a good community. It's rare that a game dev gets so much unanimous support.
Take whatever time you need bro. This stuff aint easy. Patience is.
No problem !!!! Keep up the good work, we can wait ! Love your software BTW
nic-bio
Hope everything goes well. Hope to see the Build today :D
right, we should take this release as bonus / xmas edition, so it took a little more time, no big deal :) I have no worries about this project at all ;)

A Patreon Guy, I think Meshed VR has the wish list covered here: <a href="https://trello.com/b/LDlEpfvk/virt-a-mate-public-plans" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://trello.com/b/LDlEpfvk/virt-a-mate-public-plans</a>

My recommendation, after being frustrated with 2-3 month delays between updates from other projects (which I don't back anymore) is to take more bite-size pieces for updates, and then a wishlist for more if things go quickly. Monthly updates are important in showing progress, but you don't have to make mega-updates every time. Also get some rest :)
Spacepal
I DEMAND SATISFACTION!!! (Kidding).
Aw shucks. Don't burn your self out and take your time. Thanks for the update too.
Don’t kill your self for a game. the best way to loose interest in a passion project is to burn your self out. Have a good holiday.
Thanks for working so hard. Take ur time, go sleep.
Mo Staff
Do not read this comment! Go to sleep!
RossNutkinChan
Or VAMming ;)
RossNutkinChan
Don't kill yourself man, its all good. Take your time and make it awesome. Get some rest and spend some time with your family! Priorities first. It was because of this crunch approach to the creation and release of Toy Story Two that one of the animators accidentally left his toddler in the car seat of his parked car, because of pure exhaustion, true story, thankfully the kid was fine. (That's from the book Creativity Inc, by Edwin Catmull founder of Pixar.) 1.4 is gonna be great.... we can wait :)
ham J
As long as this releases before the end of the month it's cool! I was just worried that it would be delayed until next month, that wouldnt make me or us very happy . You gotta rest too man
Suneater
Get some sleep. We'll support You!
Imagine he delivers the update on Christmas Eve? Lol. Sends 2600 people to watching porn instead of doing christmassy things. Go rest. Nobody is going anywhere.

Always better to rest your brain. Solutions are almost always forged by REMming.
Good night. Dream of me ;p
Thanks for the update :D
Have a good snoozles.
