The first VaM2 alpha has been released! VaM2 is the next generation version of VaM. This first alpha is meant as an experimental tech demo to showcase most of what has been worked on for VaM2 to date. The UI and control scheme used in this alpha is just for this alpha and does not represent what will be in the beta or final versions of VaM2. This alpha is available to all current Patreon backers. Download the zip using the link below, and extract to a new folder where you want to install it.<...

This video shows some of what has been worked on in the last couple of months. There is a lot more to report on beyond what is shown, so I'll be typing up a longer text-only progress update and get that out soon. I didn't want to delay any further, so the video is coming first this time. I apologize for this taking longer than I promised. I ran into some bugs and usability problems while making the video. I decided to fix these immediately to make it easier to make the video,...

I was trying to get the September progress update done before the end of September, but it is clear I'm not quite going to make it based on where I am currently at. The progress update will be out next week. September was very productive and we have made significant progress in multiple areas. The video that was mentioned in the last update will also be included in this update.
Thank you for your support!

1.20.77.9 is a very minor update to fix a couple of bugs reported on the Hub and also to implement a small tweak request from a plugin creator. We expect there will be few or no more 1.X updates going forward as all work has shifted to 2.X. Please keep this in mind when reporting 1.X issues or requests on the Hub (https://hub.virtamate.com/forums/)

This is a very small update to fix some plugins that stopped working with the latest security restrictions. This fix works by opening a small specific set of safe classes dll-type plugins need to work. A specific example that is fixed by this is the Realtime Lipsync plugin that can be found on the Hub. Also fixed a minor bug that was reported on the bug reports forum on the Hub yesterday.

Last week there was a post on the Reddit VAMScenes sub claiming hackers were going to target the VaM application (https://www.reddit.com/r/VAMscenes/comments/ldd8ze/warning/). While the threat did not seem to be very credible, we chose to be on the safe side and spent several days on further restricting what plugins can do. We strongly recommend you update to this patch immediat...

This is more of a full release than a patch, but we decided to keep the 1.20.X naming to fit the theme and also make it so no new keys are needed. During the holiday break we were having some fun with cyberpunk themed content and decided it would be cool to make a release with this as a theme. Many new feature, tweaks, and bug fixes are also included in this release. See the release notes below for more info.
VaM2 was also being actively worked since the last release. Stay tuned for mor...

VaM 1.20.1.X is now out of beta and is released to everyone. This patch includes a lot of tweaks and bug fixes, mostly all based on community feedback on the Hub and on the official Discord server.

Thank you to all the community creators who have contributed to the Hub's success. We think this built-in integration of the Hub will bring this success to the next level.

Hi all-
I know it has been a while since I last posted. My apologies for that. I needed to take some unplanned personal time off after the last release to recuperate and reset. This project does not exactly have built-in holidays or downtime, and I often work 7 days a week, so I take time off as needed when I feel I am not being productive or over-stressed. The last release (1.20.0) was a lot of work, and I was beginning to stress a lot about spending too much time on VaM and not enough...

1.20.0.9 introduced an issue with most audio files not being able to be loaded. This patch fixes that. This patch also makes a tweak to allow some session plugins to work with the new session plugin manager setup. Some session-style plugins may still need to be tweaked or fixed by their creators to work properly with the new session plugin setup.

Hi all-
1.20 is finally here! Thank you for your patience and understanding, and most of all, your continued and amazing support! This was the toughest release that I have ever worked on. I wanted to give 1.X a good sendoff since I will personally be moving to 2.X development after the 1.20 release cycle. The rest of the team will continue on 1.X so you can still expect more on that front while 2.X is developed. More details in a future post.

As mentioned in the last update: "The plan is to release 1.20 before the end of June, but please treat this date as a goal, not an absolute!". Well the end of June is here, and we need more time to wrap up the release. We have lots of work going on in parallel for this release:
- Improving the VaM Hub
- Working on an official wiki and better documentation that will be hosted on the VaM Hub
- Integrating the Hub with VaM itself, to be able to browse,...

VaM Hub
The VaM community has grown significantly over the life of this project, and with that growth, a new way to connect and share VaM content is clearly needed. At project launch we used Reddit as a way for the community to connect and share. Reddit was never ideal, but it was better than nothing. More recently, the official Discord server was added, and this worked a bit better allowing content to be put in different channels, but Discord has its own issues for content sharing. C...

This is a minor patch with tweaks and bug fixes for morphs. The main goal of the release is to help with the change in 1.19.2.1 where morphs driven by other morphs that were active were unable to be changed in the UI. This release helps make it clearer when this is happening and shows you what morph is driving a morph.
