Apologies, the hub never notified me that people had responded in this thread and I stupidly never thought to look! (Been busy.) So, I have no problem releasing the scenes in VR, other than 2 issues. One, the great thing about 'film making' vs releasing a scene in VR is that in film making all I care about is what the camera can see, and for as long as the camera needs to see it. So, the scenes in VR would probably feel incomplete or short. Second, I'm sure I'm using lots of paid content items in the scenes and it would be a nightmare to figure out what I can/can't release in that manner.This looks interesting, since its all made in VAM do you think you'd ever release the scenes so we could experience the story in vr?
Again, apologies for the horrifically late delay. I had no idea anyone had every responded. I really should have just checked sooner. So, the scenes I made for the trailer were designed specifically just for the shots that I needed for the trailer. That said, I actually do plan on making a full 30 minute long 'episode' and hopefully more of a full designed story line. It's just work/family life takes a lot of time
So, agreed, there is a lot of complexity with pulling off a full narrative project using VaM, but there are some things that make it easier. Basically design your scenes around "what you have." So, there are mocaps that can be used to get realistic walking, then cut camera angle to another scene once you no longer need the motion. The great thing is, all that matters is what the camera can see (not everything like in VR) and you can just design your scenes around what you have to work with. It may not be hollywood level, but it will certainly be better than what I could ever do outside of VaM. There's custom AI voices and text to speech which helps a ton with dialogue, etc. Also, a lot can be corrected with scene transitions using video editing software like PowerDirector.
Also, apologies to you as well. I had no idea there were comments in hereA city's worth of immortal, insanely hot, superpowered women that feed on snu-snu?
Obvious implications:
* The catholic church is obviously a generation-spanning social-engineering meme to weaken the Succubi by starving them as best possible without erasing the human race in the process.
* Equally, European music based on the Ionic scale is the result on an early attempt at battling the sex-crazed, superpowerd women eternally messing in the politics of the powerful Greek city states, exhorting humans to "Make Love, not War!"
(Some christian monks were said to shun the use of the tritone - ubiquitous in Jazz, Blues, Rock etc - as it was believed to be the devils interval, giving monks naughty thoughts during midday meditation).
* The porn industry's rapid growth is obviously encouraged, nurtured and controlled by Succubi. However, lately they've found they might have gotten more than they bargained for:
* With the emergence of streaming HD pron, Succibi have found themselves confronted with an embarrasing obesity epidemic, and they're rapidly running out of locations removed from the immediate proximity of aroused humans.
"For centuries, we've been preocupied with securing our bare survival, always devising schemes to get humans to have more than merely reproductive sex. Remember all the 'fun' we had getting Aphrodite's goddamn Kamasutra into circulation?
Now it's like trying to STOP drinking from a goddamn waterhose! Do those people have other hobbies?

That said, I love all the thoughts you have. Great stuff! Seriously, love the world building! I hope you'll take some time and create some scenes. I need to get to work on my first 30 minute episode of the storyline that I teased in the trailer. I've got my AnnaK voice all generated, so I need to get to work! I really hope you create some content with your thoughts!
