1.6 Released (Patreon)

Important note for this release:

Web browser and web panel web access has been turned off by default. You may see red error messages on scene load indicating this. You must opt-in on the User Preferences panel if you want to enable web access. This is to alleviate privacy concerns and web access without permission. There is known issue here with DreamStreetBedroom. Even if web TV is disabled, it still generates the error message if you have not opted-in to web access. I will address in a patch.

Highlights:

 * Multi-scene scenario "The Neighbor" - choose your path. This is a very simple demo of what is now possible in VaM - simple games!

 * Many animation and trigger enhancements

   * Scene loading triggers (the 1.6 multi-scene demonstrates this)

   * GUI button object added. Add custom buttons to control triggers (load scenes, start animations, etc)

   * Physical button object added (same as GUI button, but involves touching with physical object in game)

   * Animation of morphs. Expression morphs added to allow animating expressions

   * Added timeline control and triggers to AnimationPattern 

   * Atoms now can be turned on/off using triggers

 * Many new morphs

   * 15 more face morphs thanks to backer Ren!

   * Dozens of expression morphs

   * Several new body and head morphs

   * Can now completely disable the auto-expression system and eye blink system (in Head Control)

 * Audio and Image file browser for easier scene building

 * Desktop mode enhancements

   * Mouse select of objects

   * Mousewheel support for UI

 * Lightweight (merge) scene loader - useful for fast changes in multi-scene scenarios

 * Thumbnails added for skins, hair, and clothing

 * Please see the Trello board for what else was completed. There were many small tweaks, enhancements, and bug fixes. I'm too tired to write them all out here!
