20 releases a month we are heading to speaks for itself.
The quality is only going up as we work with multiple production teams. Each has it's own style and is greatly motivated working for us.
Also you can enjoy multiple compilations and PMV for our content
doublevr nobody asked for 20 releases a month. I'd imagine a majority would be fine with 10 releases a month if it means you return to higher quality. When you were at your peak of quality and user happiness nobody was saying "PLEASE PLEASE, REDUCE YOUR QUALITY AND PUMP OUT LOW-QUALITY LOW-EFFORT VIDEOS".
bobbytables Please link me to what you consider low quality. We can settle on all recent EU scenes.
doublevr Why does "as we work with multiple production teams." mean "The quality is only going up"?
How does that make the quality better? That only means more videos. That seems to be everybody complaint. The quality is going down a lot.
Do you not see what everybody is writing day after day after day. No one is saying we want more sub-par videos. We have tons of then on here. I can watch shitty porn anywhere. Millions of scenes are shitty. What did make you different was for a time Nash made the best VR videos the world had ever seen. Thus SLR was known as the best VR video maker. That is when I became a fan. I don't see anybody selling up SLR for having out of scale euro teams or censored JAV videos (there are already a lot of great JAV teams from japan making great videos on here, why would 3 more videos make a difference if they aren't great)
No one cares about thousands of average videos. We are saying over and over that we want great quality videos period. Why is that SO HARD to understand. That is where your time and money should be spent. But all you ever talk about is the future of VR and what you are spending your time on.
rerun119 highest quality VR is in our blood. Producing 4-5 videos is easy for each team.
If you point out specific issues with particular scenes we can work on that. I specifically talked with every team if there is anything we can level up to get better production. Nothing major was coming to mind
Otherwise all the data show we are doing things right. There a huge increase in watchtime.
doublevr I would love to tell you all the differences if I had a day to write it all down and I thought that someone would actually agree to consider it.
Let me ask you a question. Do you think that these are the same quality from (don't know the date anymore) 2 years ago

As these from last month? Both are 3 videos out of 6 in that period of time.

Do they all look like the same kind of videos to you? This is what "Producing 4-5 videos is easy for each team." looks like on my end of SLR. Maybe you think they are great.
PS. I didn't even bring up green videos that I can't watch with my Pimax if I wanted to.
doublevr
I appreciate that you took the time to write that down but there's sadly nothing in there that really peaks my interest. Shooting interesting and technically solid VR videos is somehow the basic requirement for every VR porn site so I don't think that there's something special about it.
What happened to super high-quality 2d versions for every SLRO scene? IIRC that was on your vision last year and I was really looking forward to that...
[deleted] Right now, in my opinion, SLR is wanting in narrative quality.
Hard reality: There is no good storytelling in VR porn today, neither on SLR nor somewhere else.
It's because you simply can't create a good storyline without basic human interaction like speaking. Yeah, I know, it's revolutionary for some, but basic human interaction involves verbal communication from everyone involved, it's not a one sided affair...
[deleted] Every scene, or at least too many of them, concern kinky family sex fantasies.
What the heck are you smoking? I want some of that too... 
That's just false information though. Almost all VR porn is just some goofy girl friend experience and only a tiny fraction involves faux family porn. It's a bit different in 2D porn (the porn universe in which some storytelling actually exists...) but imho the faux family stuff is still better than the old "pizza-guy", "massage-guy", "repair-guy" cliches we've seen over and over again in the past...
LordCrash there are some decent storylines coming out of POVR, not the best but decent enough. The Alyx Star genie one for example has at least a decent build up
bobbytables I'd call it "somewhat tolerable" rather than "good" but there are obviously some scnes with a better effort than others. Still tilting against windmills...
doublevr https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/raw-taboo-unusual-trio-31812 for example. horrible lighting and color grade and acting and positions and camera placement.

Brother, it is my personal mission — my purpose for being on this planet — to figure out how to get this right. One-sided dialog can only ever take you so far.
Today's immersive, "it's-happening-to-me" POV is a game changing development for sure. It's up there with adding sound to picture in the early days of the "talkies". We live in the goddamn future and everything is amazing! But it's beginning to feel like we arrived there and just....stopped. We forgot to be curious.
Part of the solve for this, I think, is to untether ourselves from the idea that VR porn must be POV. Thousands of years of human erotica has involved watching other people have sex, and to think that we've somehow evolved past that is foolishness.
I know a lot of people say they don't like non-POV, and my theory is that's mostly because they just haven't seen it done well. My background is in film production and live theatre production and what excites me most about VR is this is a medium where those two things overlap to create something new. And the rules of just one don't apply. We get to discover a whole new visual language combining 120 years of cinema-craft and 2000 years of theatre-craft into a whole new thing, the surface of which we've just begun to scratch.
Holy shit that's amazing, right?!?
I'm thrilled to be joining SLR as a producer, and let me tell you, my goal isn't to churn out a shittier version of what Nash, VRF, etc already do well. I adore those cats and I'm honored to be working along side them.
But @doublevr has directed me to experiment, explore, innovate, and generally chase down crazy ideas. I'll play with visuals, with storytelling, with color and sound and light and texture and editing and all kinds of other crazy shit.
I won't get them all right, but I promise everyone this: If I'm asking for your time, I'll do my very best to earn it. I'll work my ass off to entertain the hell out of you motherfuckers* because I love the work and I love you all, too.

Mutiny this is the biggest and most concerning statement for you taking on production. I now have extremely low expectations for your products. Thinking people don't like non-pov because "it hasn't been done right" isn't a thing, people don't like non-pov because they like being in the position of immersion and the amount of people who like being immersively cucked are far fewer than the amount that like being immersed in fucking a hot pornstar. I will absolutely be avoiding all of your work moving forward.
bobbytables I now have extremely low expectations for your products.
Perfect. Now all you can be is pleasantly surprised.
Mutiny i really won't be. You're disagreeing with some very basic psychology.
It's tricky because on one hand, 20 releases are meaningless to me if I only like 3-4 of them, but on the other hand, I absolutely want people of different tastes to be served.
I don't like cuck stuff, but I want the people that are into it to have something. Same goes for something like step-family or creampies. There's a ton of that out there and I recognize that I'm not the only user so not everything will specifically cater to me.
If all of these different teams are just cranking out the same shit as fast as possible, then we have a problem, and I think that fear is somewhat justified.
petergriff I agree 100%.
(I do want to point out that at no point did I mention cuck stuff. Bobby seems to have drawn a very tiny circle around what "non-POV" can possibly mean, then decided he didn't like what was in the circle he himself just drew.)
g2kbuffetboy original files option up to 30 or 40 GB
Just to clarify, I am not advising that the films be cut haphazardly at some random point. I'm saying that a well devised scene that requires 1 hour or more of VR content, and would be a massive download in one part, suggests the need for a little experimental revision.
Certain positions from these massive films could be included in longer BTS supplements to the main film. So, you have your main film with its story and all those elements...
Then, you have a "Making of" component, or something like that, which would include a little interview, maybe a body tour or something kinky, and the other positions from the main film.
This way the current resources of SLR might be streamlined more effectively: You have great editors, a solid film crew, but the current offerings aren't as strong in narrative as the earlier films (which is, in part, a consequence of the massive production schedule currently undertaken).
Many companies adopt a policy like this over time. Take the infamous GDP, with their feature films, BTS, and GDT eps. BackroomCastingCouch has been experimenting with BTS eps.
I think this is a solid option to provide better content for most users (who have the hard limit of 20 GB for direct Android upload -- to their devices -- and also want the option to download content, in addition to streaming).
@g2kbuffetboy Dude, know your porn. Dream Team was split in two parts. Just search for it. There's a "sneak preview" that is an excellent film in and of itself. I highly recommend it: they should do more work with John Strong, 'cause that guy has stamina!
