VirVox are currently using one account for official comments and notices as well as character interactions, but if the scale of the project increases they'll separate them.

It was Takehiro who made pancakes for Tsuina-chan. He's pretty good at taking care of others! https://t.co/xGl2FMA1he

"Are the four beastmen?" (Either furry or kemonomimi)

Apart from the human form, there may be a beastman form in which the influence of the divine beasts is stronger. https://t.co/yddbKS9jgS

"Do you welcome gachi-koi?"
(Love towards an idol)

🟩 Ga-Gachikoi!? F-for me...? (Sorry if I'm wrong) I'd be happy if you liked me... and I think the other 3 are the same. It's fine as long as you don't bother others.https://t.co/rrlI6Xf4d6

"Will there be an MMD model for Genbu like AiKO's?"

We'd like to create MMD models in the future. For now we're planning to distribute things like voice materials that will be useful for creative works. https://t.co/wbBEuKfIHe

- Are there plans for VTuber (or similar) activities?

Yes. It's not tied to being a VTuber exactly, but there are plans.
There will be more announced about this soon! (Tomorrow if all goes to plan) https://t.co/ylkvpvuzVo

About merchandises

"Do you have plans to distribute a boxed version of Genbu?"

VirVox would love to make one, but since they'd have to get permission to distribute the software, they want to start by surveying demand and distributing goods like Keychains and Badges first. https://t.co/ufJKSQvDea

About participation and supporting circles

"Are you recruiting circle members?"

VirVox Project isn't currently recruiting, but may in future depending on the scale of activities. https://t.co/fSFZnAScQn
