News Roundup
Happy holidays, everyone! The linkdump will be tomorrow or Friday, sleep pattern permitting what with my finally being on holiday and all.
- Probably first and foremost, Oliver is out! Kind of a surprise, this one, apparently the first anyone knew his official release date was a couple of days ago, leaving absolutely no leadup. To be honest, I'm still not sure what exposure there's really been outside of the V-Otaku thread; I cannot help but feel this isn't quite the way to do a release...
- Secondly, remember that Google advert? Now there's a channel on Youtube for Miku, run by Crypton and offering some videos and a lot of links to KarenT stuff. Views on the videos will have a proportion of the ad revenue going direct to the creator, escrowed through Crypton.
- Voctro Labs' Bruno and Clara contest has concluded. The top design looks pretty badass, I kind of like it.
- Looking for information on Yukari ahead of her release? Vocalomakets has you covered with a revue of all of her demos so far, together with a bunch of design specs.
- IA has been going absolutely nuts with previews, mostly due to friendly feuds between producers: Meteo by jon and the Lia-sung version of same, Dreamy Mind by nio, Freesia by Kenichi Chiba, Light of Tomorrow and Falling Apart by PromisingNewcomer (aka Nhato).
- The i-style project are still in the corner making cushions.
- For some reason - despite Akikoloid (Lawson's vocaloid) not being up for general sale - someone has decided that giving a copy to uramanbou would be an excellent idea that could cause no wrong. They're, uh, half right. The touching love story: Meat Meets Girl.
e: Oh I forgot, here is your requisite PON PON PON. Now it moves!
