1) VAM 2, obv
2) More team-ups. So many of you are doing incredible work solo, but we've seen from collaborations like VAM Produce and recent team-ups with @VamTimbo and @CuddleMocap how collaborations can take things to the next level. I know everyone is out here brand building and trying to make Patreon money, but seeing the incredible creativity that could be unlocked by having people collaborate as teams on here would be incredible. It already happens a lot with people improving one another's looks and in a way the dependency system makes all of VAM an ongoing chimeric collaboration, but I'd love to see a few great creators come together like a posse and drop some mind-blowing stuff. VAM needs an Avengers ?
3) Package deflation. Awhile ago, I complained about package inflation where improved textures on skin and clothing was driving up the average size of a VAR. Now it's increasingly rare to see a good quality scene or look clock in at less than 100 MB, even with dependencies. I know a lot of this is beyond creators control as they strive for realism. The realism is appreciated, but some really good storytelling is sometimes lost when realism is the only motivator. Also, while your mileage may vary, seeing a 200 MB pair of panties as the only clothing item on a figure is enough to make me not download a whole scene. Even though I can download the scene and skip that clothing dependency, it's annoyingly in my error log and sometimes when I'm not paying attention, I download it on an update. I guess the only option is for creators to release lite versions of their scenes and heavier versions, though that's annoying from the creator side. My hope is this is something that changes somehow in future versions of VAM. Because this app tends to incentivize accumulating more and more, drive space can easily become a serious issue after a couple years of use. Quality is worth the larger file sizes, but it limits the audience. Download speeds, dependency inflation, drive space, start up times, all of these are major problems with VAM right now so whatever creators can do to decrease the load is welcome. There are some people whose scenes are so incredible that I'm dying to see them, but alas, space. Doubtless someone will come on and say something about clean installs and backing up files or organizing things differently, but after a certain point, it gets messy.
4) More creativity. We have a lot of very vanilla scenes on here, and I don't mean sexually. This is an app where you can literally grab a penis and stretch it 8 feet before tying it in a knot and inserting it into a vagina that morphs into a neutron star then collapses into a black hole, but instead what we get is a lot of basic sex scenes that look like they're mostly pulled from porn. I know creating is hard work, but users like @Farger @Shadow Venom @kiwimatsch, @s p l i n e VR @DragonPhantom @virtamater @Dragontales and @Perveloper have really raised the bar in what's possible. We need to go beyond simple basic porn style sex stuff and use this app to its full potential as a dream factory. I know it's very very hard to focus on something other than sex when you can literally have nude bodies on demand who will do anything, but I'm really interested to see creators explore other visions and ideas they've had. There are so many possibilities with just the resources that are here on the hub to literally explode with creativity. You can unleash your subconscious on the world, but instead it's just a lot of normal bodies having the same kama sutra inspired sex the porn industries have delivered for decades. When will I see a toaster impregnate a planet?! Where is the scene of Xi, Putin, Biden, Starmer, and Macron tap-dancing in a volcano?! What about the destruction of a city by aliens who can turn their skin inside out?! Break our brains!
A note on the above: I sometimes see amazing things in the Media section on here, but they don't always make it to the Hub, likely due to dependency issues. Is that the main barrier? Speaking personally, I make all kinds of weird stuff, but don't have time to monitor my dependency usage or go back and edit it for a release. I suspect this is a common problem? Would love to hear in comments.
I haven't had as much time for VAM due to a truly terrible summer (and whole of 2024 really), but returning to it is always a refuge. Excited to see all the amazing things you can all muster!
