/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>Yagoo and Dong in the same image.
I'm sure this is just serious business talk but I couldn't help chuckle a little.

this is an article from a week ago. you been asleep this entire time bright boy

>>2003582
It's not only Yagoo per se. It's Vtuber and Vの炎上.

>>2003693
well the specific business insider article is about him

>>2003582
>>2003801
What is his endgame?

>>2007673
The world.

>>2007673
he better fucking have an endgame or Cover is going to stall. it started out as a proprietary face tracking tech company trying to sell its software for video games (or some shit like that) and Sora was really only intended to be an idol that demos the tech.

but he's doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on the whole vtuber thing instead, so his company is just an entertainment company like so many others. he's just skirting by due to the novelty of it all. (inb4 but Kizuna AI, stfu, they didn't double down this hard and only had 1 idol)

we're gonna see the standard print comics, shorts, original songs and movies that we all have, but if he doesn't bring something fresh, Cover is going to stagnate and some other company will dethrone them.

What

>>2007673
I remember some anon saying that it was full body tracking VR MMO available to the masses.

>>2008655
benefit of starting earlier in a time when everyone just had tv and all watched the same shows together building a unified audience for brand loyalty.

>>2008145
So merch really IS that lucrative huh?

>>2008735
SAO but hololive, can't wait

>>2008079
I't short for "oshimen" and means "favourite member". https://pavlovalovesidols.wordpress.com/2015/02/06/idol-terms-glossary-for-my-non-idol-fans-friends/

>>2008809
Pokémon making shitty cheap games just to advertise their lucrative merch is not a rrat, but we'll known fact. Nijis are trying to emulate this.

>>2007673
Bring hope and positivity to the world with idols.

>>2007673
Stepping down from Cover due to some controversy.

>>2009047
he's gonna have to transition more holos to 3D if he wants to make that work. don't think Live2D works in VR.

>>2007673
>implying he has one
he's been winging it all this time

>>2008437
No spoon-feeding, but a hint should be okay: google the word with some context. It's how you'll figure out the meaning of a lot of words.

>>2009047
>rice farmer
>entertainment company CEO
>father
>looking into becoming an EDM DJ
how does he do it?

>>2009745
also professional cyclist and ping pong player

>>2009047
The Wave VR already exists.
>>2009177
There's no reason you couldn't, but if you are in a 3D world you would probably want to be have a 3D model than being an animated cardboard cut out.

>>2009805
Isn't he also confirmed to be the person at hololive that can consistently beat Suisei at Tetris?

>>2007673
Drinking in a bar 10 years from now wondering what he could have done differently

>>2009932
well at least he has his own harem, that is a nice achievement

>>2009745
>>2009886
>>2009047
Is japan finally killing the shumi? I can't fucking wait. based nip renaissance men when?

>>2010182
shumi?

>>2010182
Can Yagoo draw well? That would cement him both as renaissance man and best girl.

>>2008145
Yeah, it's definitely going to get multiple anime and a mobile game in few years.

>>2010280
>YAGOO is best girl meme
You have to go back to R*ddit.

>>2010422
>no fun allowed
You have to go back to T*itter

>>2009141
>fire escape sign reflected in cover's logo
was it kino?

>>2010459
Anon, fun is allowed. It's just that the YAGOO is best girl meme isn't really funny anymore.

Memes have an expiration date. One of the reasons R*ddit is criticised on 4chan is because they use memes long past their expiration dates.

Also,
>T*tter
Do I read that as titter?

>>2007673
Be the most based man on Earth it seems

>>2011122
But some memes also have solid basis to reappear in a minor way depending on context, in this case where we were discussing the various different jobs and talents of Yagoo, I personally deemed it a suitable situation to bring the meme back. Also yeah, I stopped for a second when I saw it as titter too.

>>2008145
>yugioh that low
?????

>>2011071
actually fairly recent addition after the kyoani fire incident.

>>2011351
it isn't 2010 anymore anonchama

>>2011330
This is also true.
I'm sorry for shitting on you, anon. I feel bad now. Here's a YAGOO for you.

>>2011372
Uh it's just that I feel that it should be higher than fucking cars and toy story, but who am I to go against the numbers?

>>2011330
>unironically finds the yagoo is best girl joke even remotely funny
go back or lurk for 20 years

>>2011450
No need to apologize nor feel bad, you were just doing your best to ensure board quality, and thank you for the YAGOO as well.

>>2008655
What's so surprising about it? Japan literally call it "the bible for men" of mangas

>>2009932
not advertising hololive

>>2007792
The girls are too big to fail. They got the lonely men market by the balls.

>>2007673
monopolise vtuber market

>>2007673
Complete salvation to those who need a second chance

>>2012841
The only girls too big to fail are Polka and Okayu.

VR prostitution

>>2014194
IMAGINE

>>2014194
I honestly think vr prostitution will be a real business someday. Once sexbots that can be controlled by motion tracking exist, the ultimate fall of humanity will come.

>>2009047
Wonder if he's sad that Ai-chan beat him there.

>>2009927
No, it's just pro players trolling Suisei by using Yagoo's name whenever she streams Tetris.

>>2015674
They really need to sponsor her out for tetris tournaments, maybe even have her sing during early game as a gimmick

>>2009745
Actually, when we investigated Yagoo. He is a electrical engineer, who worked on hardware/coding for a few companies re: cellphone shit for most of his life.

>>2007673
Cover is still a tech company, and you can see him testing out new tech with hololive. Their models, face tracking and body tracking are improving alot

>>2015780
Yagoo has been on autopilot for a long time, considering he developed new technology nearly alone on whims in his past.

>>2015780
To put it into perspective, Yagoo has the funds, knowledge and expertise to accomplish literally any feasible thing in the field they are in to a high degree/absolute peak of quality if he was interested in personally fucking with it. Yet hololive/cover lags behind many other groups, and he lets employees handle most shit.

>>2015780
>Their models, face tracking and body tracking are improving alot

>>2008145
winnie the pooh still high even though its banned in china. lol.

>>2014399
No pleeease. I barely have life now as it is from watching vtubers. The day that becomes a reality I will NEVER go outside or talk to anybody ever again. I'll just be jacking off and cumming for days straight until I die from sudden heart failure. I'll be found by coroners with my corpse's hand still on my dick, rotting on my chair with hololive merch plastered all over my room.

>>2007673
To give every broken girl in japan an anime avatar.

>>2008735
>Literally SAO
Yagoo has shit taste

>>2008522
Hard to disprove. If you read between the lines with each "girls" streams, you can tell they want this to happen

>>2007792
>stagnate
Anon, I don't know if you realized, but Hololive has only blown up last year, they are still very much on the rise.

Wish I could buy Cover shares but maybe it's best they aren't public so they can avoid hungry dirty bug hands.

>>2016138
elaborate please

>>2013091
Jesus Christ, even thE homos are rboken people
>Aruran was a straight up hobo who would fall asleep dreaming or military rations and SteveMRE
Holy fuck, does Yagoo run a soup kitchen? Where does he keep finding these dregs of humanity?

>>2011122
> It's just that the YAGOO is best girl meme isn't really funny anymore.
Fun is a relative concept anon, what might be fun for you might not be fun for others.

>>2015847
Perspective from an outsider has no bearing on how the company functions on the inside. Perhaps they are doing a big project that only be shown when it has reached a certain level of quality? Perhaps they are wasting money after all? Nobody knows except from the higher ups themselves.
What we might be able to guess is quite minimal, but for example, from their concert a few months ago, we can guess that the tracking tech is both lighter and less clunky, since the girls are able to move around alot (including cartwheels) and not get tired out as easily as before (around a year ago Suisei mentioned how heavy the tracking for 3d was iirc). And if the girls were doing the 3d in VR, it means the VR headset is much smaller and does not interrupt facial tracking.
Things like >>2015913 are honestly not that uncommon in development, 3d rendering is clunky and prone to clip into each other all the time, the question is whether it gets fixed or not.
Again, we can only see the results of the software side, while the software and hardware themselves are still company secrets. Perhaps they developed a new hardware and has to build up a new engine from scratch, or perhaps they have really stagnated and decided that just getting new gens in is enough, we as viewers cant say.

I might be wrong here and am missing vital information, if thats the case then i would be happy to be corrected

>>2017488
Well they are working on that big virtual reality project so...

>>2008145
why the fuck are pokemon games so fucking garbage when they've got that kind of mind of money to kick around?

>>2019081
Gamefreak is an incompetent developer who phones in every game after BW2. The spinoffs handled by other studios are way better than the main games.

It's telling that Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee were infinitely better games than Sword/Shield, and they still had some massive "what the fuck were you thinking do you not have testers?" issues.

https://youtu.be/7A0uJ0u3TUs

>>2019081
Because they know their games will sell even if it is trash

>>2008735
that would actually be based as fuck, we need better VRMMOS
I beleib in you yagoo, dont let the commies keep you down

>>2007673
Everyone becomes a VTuber and lives in the virtual world, to escape our dying planet

>>2013091
thanks yagoo

>>2016063
well at least everyone will be able to socialize in VR

>>2019081
Because they make all their money on merchandise and the TCG. The games are just how they introduce new mons. They have no reason to make good games and the dev team doesn’t like making them either.

>>2007673
replaced by soulless corporate ghoul

>>2019081
Same reason why most movies nowadays are shitty with trash plots.

Humanity's fucked, and that's good.

>>2016102
SAO didnt invent VR MMO. Oldest I know would be Yureka/id:Entity but thats most probably not the oldest either.

>>2008145
>Anpanman has made twice as much as the entire MCU

O_o

>>2003582
>Paywall
No one pays and translates the article?

>>2019081
Because the devs lost all their passion after BW, obviously. The real question is how the fuck is Hello Kitty that high? I have never seen a single Hello Kitty ANYTHING ever since elementary school.

>>2023771
The entire female half of eastern asia buys hello kitty stuff.

>>2003582
IPO when? i want to invest in Marine stocks

>>2016063
say that like it's bad

>>2007673
>endgame
marketing

just look at the skills all the girls have: they have someone for every step of multimedia production + pre-existing global audience.

There's also the Alt project, and Yagoo always wanted to make a game...

Aren't those news articles sponsored?
