>>10378183I can believe the rrat that CL run by someone young because this startup the 'quickest-learner'.
It's great they're putting out 3D before their competition because it at least differentiates them from the other startups in a good way. I wont benefit Gen 1 much because its still on those weak designs. Lumi will probably look the best and benefit the most.
Hopefully, their alternate outfits can get them in the right track visually. If that doesn't work, Gen 2 should do the trick.
CL needs to learn from the mistakes of their competitors when it comes to design:
1. Designs have to sell merch.
2. Designs that are easily transferable to other mediums. Even if there is no immediate intention of making games, manga, web animations with the characters that might change in the future.
3. Fans don't like bootlegs, knockoffs or copycats, even if it's unintentional. The fans are absolutely merciless to designs that even closely resembles to another vtuber. (this also applies to things outside of design).
4. After designs like Sana, IryS and Orla (Tsunderia), it must be said the face is the most important part of the vtuber whether it be indie or corporate. Faces need to be expressive and they need to to have an appealing default resting expression. They can be over-rendered, too simple, or too polarizing. Look at Shiki from prism, shit outfit, but 10/10 from the bust up.
5. Designs need to be exciting and aesthetic. Know who your audience is, know what they want, audience and give it to them. Don’t worry too much about very specific requests, try to get the bigger picture.
Anyway, this is pretty exiting news.
