A New Form of Support for VTubers

Since 2023, the VTuber market has experienced rapid growth, revealing various challenges for independent VTubers. Digital Gear Inc. has utilized its expertise in 2D and 3D animation production to create a new platform, ‘V Festival’, designed to smoothly support crowdfunding for VTuber projects. This enables VTubers to not only raise funds but also expand their recognition and strengthen their brands through dialogue with fans and participatory events.

Promoting Co-Creation: A New Relationship Between VTubers and Fans

‘V Festival’ proposes a new way for fans to support VTubers. Regularly held voting events and public presentations directly connect fans with VTubers, providing a space for co-creation. Additionally, a database will be built to aggregate VTuber profiles and activity information, serving as a platform for fans to discover new favorites.
