Patuk and I were just discussing that! I coulda sworn they were announced, but ultimately I think their characters were announced, but not their VBs. At least we get that confirmation in the middle of this clusterfuck.
SynthV Crowdfunding campaign for GENBU AI announced
- Thread starter Silver1063
- Start date
The TOKYO6 website has pages for both of Koharu Rikka’s friends, and it’s been listed on both of their pages that SynthesizerV and CeVIO AI Talk banks will be created for them for quite some time now. So it's not a leak as some Twitter posts have been saying.
I hope everything with VirVox gets sorted out and that this is just a situation where fans aren't doing their due diligence instead of having malintent!

By far the most common mistake I've seen fan groups make is announcing something on Twitter before signing a contract with a company; it's unfortunate because even announcing intention to make a voicebank without approval can put companies off working with you. However a lot of people just don't know how business prochedure works, or realise how important prior agreement is.
I wonder if this situation was what caused Dreamtonics to put out that letter?
A statement has been published regarding the Genbu AI crowdfund, plus a quick follow-up statement.
(The jist of it is that the crowdfund itself has been cancelled, not the entire project I believe.)

It's sad that it's come to this, but honestly I saw it coming after that announcement from Dreamtonics. Whatever happens, I wish VirVox all the best!
I honestly would've been a bit surprised if Dreamtonics went out of their way to make such a public announcement and then went "nah it's fine go ahead" to VirVox later. This is about what I expected, but it is really unfortunate - especially since it seems the problem stemmed from the middleman between VirVox and Dreamtonics (not saying it's the middleman's fault, but information wasn't clearly expressed by one of the three involved parties which is where the misunderstanding occurred).
I can't imagine how it must have felt for VirVox to think they had proper permission and then be put on public blast like that orz. I acknowledge that I don't have all the information, especially in regards to what happened behind the scenes between the involved parties, but it does feel kinda drastic. Oh well.
I hope their future endeavors go much more smoothly.
