But I work at a certain tabletop RPG company and was involved in our side of the project.
They licensed our most famous product and I was involved in a lot of the writing and planning parts.
Which is how I wound up falling down the vtuber rabbithole since I needed to familiarise myself with it.
Their basic proposal was to do something similar to Critical Role or Myths TTRPG streams. But with much much higher production values.
That would be their main group content putting out a planned two streams a week each one a few hours long.
Complete with music, sound effects, art assets and so on for all environments and scenes. Also 3D animations of certain scenes as a kind of highlight reel of the past week.
There was even talk of developing in house or licensing a 3D TTRPG tool that could then be used with it.
We were very excited on our end. Our flagship product still sells well. But we're always looking to the future and new ways to market/attract attention.
So when we heard that the talent had all thrown in the towel out of frustration with EN managements behaviour we were very concerned.
Not long after that they stopped replying to our inquiries on the matter and refused to tell us what was going on only that "they would be in touch and we should proceed as planned" so we basically put the brakes on everything and demanded answers, threatening to walk out on the contract.
It was only then CoverEN officially told us that all their talent had bailed. Which we already knew but they'd never confirmed.
So we bailed. Very strong words were said by our management since they'd already sunk a fair bit of time and money into this project with nothing to show for it. A lot of the art assets can be reused. But thats not the point.
