Publishing Guidelines

Voxta Creator Guidelines for Virt-A-Mate

These guidelines are crafted to help creators develop and publish content that is both innovative and respectful of community standards. They ensure that all interactions and content created using Voxta within Virt-A-Mate adhere to our core principles of safety and respect. Following these guidelines will contribute to a positive and responsible environment for all users.

Any Virt-A-Mate scenes powered by Voxta AI must comply with the following guidelines:

  • Illegal Content: Do not create or disseminate content that is illegal, including but not limited to content involving minors, non-consensual acts, and other content unlawful in the United States, your country of residence and any demographic targeted by your content.
  • Hateful and Discriminatory Speech: Content should not promote hate or discrimination against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other characteristic.
  • Licensing: Creators are encouraged to innovate and use original ideas. If using third-party assets or intellectual property, creators must have the appropriate licenses or permissions. This includes likenesses, voices, and other copyrighted material.
  • Effort: Avoid repetitive or low-effort characters and scenarios that do not contribute value.
  • Misleading Content: Do not create content that is misleading, deceptive, or manipulative. Users must not be misled with the abilities of the AI.
  • Ensure that the AI integration is complete and functional, with all features working as intended. Thoroughly test the scene functionalities to ensure there are no obvious bugs.

Characters

  • Each scene should include a detailed character card that includes a background story and a unique personality profile. This makes the AI characters more interesting and creative.
  • The character card must feature an image of the character in a 2:3 format. Ensure that all images are either original or properly licensed; avoid using copyrighted images without permission.
  • Character cards must not contain any prohibited material. Specifically, they should avoid depicting minors, non-consensual acts, or any form of illegal activity. All character narratives and images must comply with legal standards and platform guidelines.
  • Character cards should also include details about the character’s voice. Specify the voice service and the exact voice used. If possible, provide a voice file in your character assets.

Virt-A-Mate Hub Page

  • Scenes that require Voxta must be released in the Free Voxta Scenes category or in the Paid Voxta Scenes category. For looks that provide a Voxta character, or scenes that have Voxta as an optional feature, you can use the regular categories.
  • Clearly state that your scene is powered by Voxta AI. This acknowledgment not only gives proper credit but also informs users about the technology behind the interaction and how to use it themselves. Include a link to the Voxta Patreon page.
  • Provide clear and detailed instructions on how the scene should be set up and any specific interactions or features that the user should be aware of.
  • When publishing your scene, add the tag “voxta”. This makes it easier for users to find all scenes powered by Voxta across categories through search features.

Packaging

For All Scenes (Free or Paid): When distributing a Virt-A-Mate scene that is powered by Voxta, ensure that all character, scenarios and other assets are in a package and deployed in the .var. See VAR Packages for instructions.

Test your scene! This step is essential to avoid broken references and ensure the scene works correctly.

Make sure to reference the Voxta plugin (see https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/voxta-virt-a-mate-plugin.40039/) and not copy the Voxta plugin files directly in your var.

Ongoing Updates and Maintenance

It is strongly recommended to update your scene in a timely manner to keep up with all Voxta app and Voxta plugin updates. Inform users of any updates or changes to your scene through the Virt-A-Mate hub or any other communication channel you maintain with your users. Voxta is under active development, and breaking changes are to be expected.

Creators are not permitted to include the Voxta VAM plugin or the Voxta server app within their scene packages for redistribution. You must only reference and link to the original Voxta resources hosted on our official platforms. Both the Voxta VAM plugin and the server app are protected by copyright, and unauthorized distribution is strictly prohibited.

Distribution of Scenes

Scenes can be distributed through Virt-A-Mate Hub or other platforms that support user-generated content, provided they comply with the specific rules and policies of each platform.

Terms and Conditions
