About a year before a contest it was talked about in a forum. I said then the approach was not professional and sloppy. What got a lot of people, myself included was a year later the group re-appears with something that looks more "solid". They run contests, tell us about their plans, get everyone on the hype train. and then it turns out that they never had permission to even call Alys a vocaloid.

It felt a form of betrayal and when they tried to re-assure everyone they did not intend to trick or fool everyone, this wasn't the point. The point was they messed up, and disappointed everyone and the few like me weren't angry at ness. being "trick", it was more about the fact we're not getting something. I got hyped because I like Macne Nana and had Alys actually been real, it was confirmed there would be considered a French Nana. So I had more then 1 reason to get behind the project, it wasn't just Alys it was potential for the software overall.

SE was a re-release of the V3 versions, not all of the ones set up for SE versions got released because NEO came along before they were done. I say it was about then because as far as I can tell they were partly behind the Vocaloid Data packs, notable since vol.4 has 66(Roro) on it and they were the ones that were behind that. also what looks like it was going to be Lui can be seen besides them too.
