🚨Palworld just achieved what Pokémon has not managed in years
855,525 concurrent players on Steam this Sunday
Second most played game on the entire platform behind only Counter-Strike 2
Pokémon has been the biggest gaming franchise in the world for 30 years
And a small indie studio from Japan just outpaced it with a survival game about creatures with guns
What do you think Pokémon needs to do to compete with this?
So many people are out here bashing on Leaflit, severely criticizing her for her "use of AI", and yet none of you even considered what she's actually doing with this new software she developed.
She's giving people an opportunity they didn't have before and she's giving it to them for FREE.
Despite what some people like to try and pretend, getting started in vtubing is not as cheap and as simple as they claim. Yes, there are free vtuber models out there (I started my vtubing career using one as a matter of fact), but they are significantly limited in number and style (not "hundreds" like some people lie about), to say nothing of the fact that there are practically ZERO free options for male vtubers.
Leaflit is giving those people who have been wanting to try and become a vtuber a cheap and alternative option to get started in this space, and she is doing it for FREE. Vtweeters who claim they're about to debut but never do and instead bitch and moan on X now have no excuse for not actually debuting and streaming because they now have a free option. The fact that people are criticizing her for this is not only insane, it is objectively stupid.
It also is because of a very simple reason: They're terrified of the competition. What most people that get into vtubing don't account for is that your model, be it Live2D or PNG2D like Leaf's software, affords you roughly 5-10 minutes of attention from any new viewers. Have a gorgeous, detailed, big titty anime girl or a ripped, Adonis anime guy alone will NOT make you a popular streamer. If you don't offer an interesting, engaging, or entertaining stream within that first 5-10 minutes, no matter how pretty, handsome, or sexy your model is, that viewer is gone and looking for someone else to be entertained.
THAT is what is at the core of this. People that are so upset at Leaflit for doing what she is doing are realizing that they can't simply trade on their model's looks alone anymore to retain viewership. They have to actually be fun, smart, engaging, and flat out ENTERTAINING now and they're being forced to admit to themselves that this is something they are not...
...and boy do they HATE this. So, because they hate themselves for not being able to accomplish their "dream" because they simply aren't cut out for it, they'll instead redirect their self-hatred towards the one person who is actively doing everything she can to help people. That way they can blame someone else and not admit to their own failures.
And the artists bitching about this... There has been a significant problem with regards to people being scammed by artists for so long, to say nothing of artists who blacklist clients simply because of their opinions, is it any surprise the general populace looking to get into vtubing would welcome an alternative and FREE option?
So keep coming at Leaf for being a brilliant and amazing woman who is doing so much to help other people in this space. She's not going to stop and you can be damn fucking sure I will NEVER stop having her back.
Keep typing quangos, this should be fun.
I was literally thinking "damn bro what artist pissed LeafIt off" and then i realized that she did this because she loves the medium and wants to lower the barrier to entry to allow more people to be who they want to be. WHAT A SAINT #saintleaflit
NTE Shinku Character EP丨Whatever It Says
When the drizzle chases close, I forsake the chill.
Across the silver veil of moonlight, truth is revealed.
I will spread these broken wings and soar again.
Carry all my dreams onto the lowering clouds.
