Firstly I'd like to congratulate you on what looks like a really complext and challanging piece of work - good job! I would perticularly like to compliment you on the facial/mood animations, which I think are a big leap in terms of realism from the VamX version. To make the Maive addition really work for me though I'd like to be able to 'de-gameify' it. Essencially I would like to be able to fully customise the pose, mood and actions etc without. I know it goes against what you have been trying to do (which I commend by the way), but I think it would make the content more accessible to a wider group of users if you could switch between an 'interactive' and 'at command' move. Just a thought - keep up the good work!

I'm not super thrilled with the sound of her voice, the recording environment (I agree with HonWic that it sounds like a Discord call), or the emotional range - there's not a lot of subtlety or realism in the acting. For instance, "I don't like that" and "Don't touch me there" are, like 11/10 on the bitchy/angry scale, which is really very jarring, especially when the emotion and tone of the line immediately before is warm and friendly - like...I dunno, giving gentle headpats and getting a happy response then one of them *slightly* exceeds the stupid "slap" threshold (that's set FAR too low) by 0.001%, and *boom* "STOP IT I DON'T LIKE THAT!" A billion years ago, I had a partner who had pretty bad mental health, and shit like that is total flashback territory. The problem is that the space required to do it properly is exponential - if you have even just 10 basic 'levels' for 10 phrases (say, for a basic emotional scale from -5 to +5), that's now 100 different wav files to store, many of which may never get used because some combinations of emotion level and statement will be much less common than others. Really, I'd be much happier with using a text to speech engine, since there's already so much that's artificial about the whole situation, having Microsoft Zira as default with the option to go buy, like, Amy or Emma or Nicole from Ivona or Zoe from Nuance, etc, instead. https://harposoftware.com/en/english-usa/206-Zoe-Nuance-Voice.html Short of that, having documentation that lists file names and locations and having the ability to 'override' the voice files with something else (even if it's not more than using a text to speech engine output into Audacity to create a second set of the existing files with a different voice...) would be great.

Well, I'm actually glad this is your issue with it, as I can go through and clean up the sound using automated methods. It was recorded using a good (enough) mic, but we've been in a bit of a rush to get something to all of you, and so I haven't done enough post processing, and especially not volume normalizing, of the audio files. I'll note this for the next release.

Her voice is no problem, I am talking about sound quality (you realy have to record this in recording studio or at least with professional recording device). It feels like Discord call to me.

What don't you like about the voice over quality? Just a personal (/personality) preference, like you don't like the sound of her voice, or do you mean the quality of the audio data, like you hear some sort of noise or volume issue? You can switch to other female voices, but they won't have that huge emotional range, switch voices in the Maive UI -> Person tab. Other voices don't have the ability to say a huge variety of things yet. Once switching if she wants to say something specific, like "Take off my top" you'll see a text bubble, instead of hearing her talk. Other voices will probably eventually also be able to say more lines, but probably not with a huge emotional range (they will always or mostly be turned on / sexual / or just have fewer recorded lines). I have one particular voice I'll hope you like, that I'll be adding to the next release, but feel free to let me know more about what kinds of voices you like (a particular voice or voices from the current vamX set?)

Amazing work, bat that voice acting have absolutely terrible voice quality, it would be better without it for now.
