>>74861595DESU i'd been tuning in occasionally to watch miko putz around with her unhinged AIs in VR recently and just assumed the mikoverse had something to do with that, like including a framework for people to model/rig/prompt + sell 3d AI characters to talk (ERP) with privately and populate user created spaces, but after actually skimming the kickstarter it sounds like it's just VRchat with a promise of better graphics and tracking with no mention of AI integration at all. Honestly I was kind of hoping it would be a no holds barred premium
character.ai style thing where your waifu would be shaking her big VR booba in your face while you voice chatted back and forth. This came up just the other day here but that
character.ai site just got 150 million in VC funding and they only do basic text ai stuff currently. Someone is definitely gonna do a more integrated audiovisual thing but it's apparently not the mikoverse
so anyway unless mikoverse does beat all expectations and pan out and suddenly vtubers are meeting up there instead of vrchat it's kinda whatever personally
and for some additional context since a post or two itt mentioned the financials, according to some posts on LSF apparently she got a couple million herself in VC funding to actually create this thing, which makes sense because she mentions a team and the original 15k goal is a drop in the bucket to how much any of this would cost to get anything like this out the door, which means she's just using the kickstarter as a way to milk some donos from whales, advertise the project, and offer some presale bonuses which is sort of par for the course these days
