- End of Active Development for VTuber Plus - 5 July 2026
After many years of developing and maintaining VTuber Plus, I've made the decision to officially end active development of the project.This wasn't an easy decision. VTuber Plus has been a huge part of my journey as a developer, and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who supported it, reported bugs, shared feedback, created content with it, and helped build such a wonderful community.From today onward, VTuber Plus will no longer receive feature updates or ongoing support. The current version will remain its final version.The application will continue to be available for purchase and download in its current state. If a severe issue ever prevents the software from functioning as intended, I may choose to address it, but no further updates or new features are planned.My focus has shifted toward game development through Blackscale Studios, and I want to dedicate my time and energy to those…

You can design them with your own colors, lighting, particles, and even sounds, then share them with others as well.If you’d like to learn more, you can find additional details on the website:https://vtuberplus.com/Additionally:Added Emotes to the rewards.Fixed the Spout sender by implementing a dual pass output.Fixed the issue with ragdoll when using the native face tracking.
