… AND MORE!

The Animaze indie engine is the result of years of work and thoughtful feedback from the community starting with FaceRig in 2014. The three people currently building Animaze have been pioneers in this space, and have been in service of this community for a very long time. Whether working on FaceRig or Animaze, the tech built by us and our former colleagues since 2014 has brought to life and inspired many features used across the VTubing world in many apps today.

Aside from FaceRig, Animaze remains, as far as we know, the only indie-engine VTubing app worldwide that has propelled some of its users who were using the included stock avatars, to millions of followers. Whether we are talking about Obit or MagLobao on YouTube, or PuffPuff on TikTok, we are proud of opening this path in a truly independent fashion, without the help of any large commercial game engine, and organically, with no marketing help from talent management agencies.
