Hello everyone!It's been a while since our last major update, and we've been hard at work behind the scenes. This release focuses on improving the overall experience while laying the foundation for some of the biggest features we've ever attempted.Most importantly...We're finally putting the "Space" into ViRo Playspace.Multiplayer development is moving forward, and while it's taking longer than expected, the systems being built now are what will power the future of ViRo Playspace. Character customization, visit interesting places, and tons of interactions, some more lewd than others ;)
Detailed notes are found near the bottom of this post.
We're excited to welcome Ela Darling's return to ViRo Playspace!A brand new Quickie featuring motion capture performed by Ela Darling is now available inside the Quickies section.

Better interaction systems
Be sure to give it a try!
