Its fun and appreciated that animation were added but they are not quite ready for prime time. They are clunky and not at par with what we are used to from some creators. I consider my subscription like a donation to help polish the product a little bit

First of all, yes, the animations will improve over time, and your contribution will help to improve them. Just so you understand, in Virt-a-Mate there are plenty of amazing smooth animations from creators, but they aren't very flexible. You can record an animation with mocap, or manually create one in timeline, but these all just play exactly as they are scripted. For example, you can't change the way the male and female are thrusting, you certainly can't translate to random walking around the scene and back into sex poses in a new random location! Often if you even change looks in a sex animation, the animation loses alignment. The work done here was more on the scripting system behind the animation, and less on the animation itself. What's sort of interesting that's happening here is that the animations can adapt to the environment and your choices. But I totally get that they aren't polished in some ways. Really 80% of the work went into making the animation system just work, and 20% into making the animations themselves. Behind the scenes, this system seamlessly combines various timeline animation files, with different active controllers, different root node positions, and adapts timeline animations to dynamically change based on the scene. Sort of more like what you'd see in a video game. That's sort of what appeared in this release. Right now, for example, in Missionary position she randomly cycles between 8 simple animations, which combine with randomized male and female thrusting patterns. I think you would probably enjoy less flexibility of the animations, and them being more polished, which is understandable.
