WONUNIVERSE Releases New Demo of Meta Soulmate

Metaverse specialized developer Won Universe announced on the 3rd that it has released a demo version with new features added to its self-developed virtual mate creation tool, Meta Soulmate (MSM).

Meta Soulmate is a tool that allows users to create virtual mates with their own unique subculture style. When it was showcased at Steam Next Fest last February, it received praise for its customization features for various characters and excellent graphic quality. During this period, it was selected as a highly anticipated title in Steam's character creation tools category, with over 60,000 users adding it to their wishlists.

The main new features added to the demo version include △ Unreal Mannequin System △ Unreal Panel-based Clothing System △ Addition of a new body type character ‘Bibi’ △ Face tracking feature for VTubers. The Unreal Mannequin System and panel-based clothing system allow free application of external animation data, resolving content supply issues caused by production pipelines and reducing development resources.

Face tracking is a basic feature for VTubers and is supported via iPhone. There are plans for continuous updates and additional detailed features to enable use on various devices in the future. Additionally, a simple painting feature was added to assist users who have difficulty editing textures.

Jin Jaehyuk, Won Universe Meta Soulmate lead development producer (PD), said, “Meta Soulmate has been gaining positive responses from global MZ generation users, including VTubers, even before its release,” and added, “Through continuous updates and testing, we plan to enhance its completeness and aim to launch it in early access as soon as the second half of this year.”

He continued, “We are grateful for the many users who have shown interest through wishlists and the official community since the Steam Next Fest showcase,” and said, “The development team will do its best to satisfy all users with diverse needs.”
