HoloCure (ホロキュア, Horokyua) is a free Hololive fan made video game developed by Kay Yu. The game draws heavy inspiration from Vampire Survivors and Magic Survival.[1]
Within hours after its release, HoloCure became a viral hit, garnering over 50,000 downloads on its first day.[2] The game was also featured by numerous Hololive talents who streamed themselves playing the game.[3] In addition, the game's leaderboard functionality was disabled by the game's developer, citing the overwhelming data load.[4]
Development[edit source]
Development of HoloCure began around late February 2022,[5] and on March 9, 2022, lead developer Kay Yu wrote a tweet announcing that he, DuDuL, and eufrik were working on a new Hololive fan game as a hobby, and shared a clip of an early build of the game. At the time, the game was titled Holo Fan Love.[6] The game was made using GameMaker Studio 2, with Yu having been familiar with the engine since 2008,[7] and online leaderboards were hosted using Firebase.[8]
Following a period of closed beta, the first public demo of the game was released on June 24, 2022 and included all members of Hololive English as playable characters.[9][10] The game's logo was designed by Ribbon Black and Japanese translation done by HighGai and Miss Wendi Gogh.[11]
The game's development is still ongoing and all development costs for the game were paid for by Yu out of his own pocket, including costs for translation work and server costs. However, Yu has refused to accept donations for the game's development, citing his desire to keep the game strictly as a passion project.[12]
On May 12, 2023, it was announced that Holocure 0.6 would be additionally released on Steam.[13] The itch.io version would continue to be updated.[14] Holocure 0.6 released on Steam and Itch.io on August 17th, 2023 with it peaking at over 46,000 players after 2 days on steam.[15]
Plot[edit source]
Set in the year 20XX, virtual idols have won the hearts of many on the internet. However, one day, an evil force brainwashes the fans and turns them into mindless minions. Hololive talents must now work to "cure" the fans and save them.
Gameplay[edit source]
Similar to other "bullet heaven" games inspired by Vampire Survivors, players must move their chosen character in a 2D space from a top-down perspective, "curing" (defeating) swarms of "fans" (mobs) that come on screen from all directions by using various methods of attacking. As players cured fans, they drop items. Most commonly, they'd drop experience points in the form of the Hololive logo. Accumulating enough experience points level up the character, which give them access to a semi-randomized choice of power-ups to be selected upon to strengthen the character. Fans would also sometimes drop Coins, which can be used to enhance weapons beyond their maximum Level; unused Coins are saved after a player finished a stage (regardless of result, but as long as they don't quit the game), and can be spent in the Shop to unlock various boons and challenges, or in the Gacha (see below) to unlock more characters and costumes. Actually winning a Stage would also grant even more Coins, in addition to the amount dropped by cured fans.
Players can select a character from a pool of Hololive Production talents. At the beginning of a fresh save file, only those of Hololive English -Myth- are selectable, with further unlocks available by pulling in the Character Gacha by using saved up Coins from playing the game.
Three modes of gameplay are available: Stage, Endless and Time. In Stage mode, players must defeat the final boss to mark completion. In Endless mode, players must survive the game as long as possible, while accumulating score. In Time mode, players must cure a set number of fans as fast as possible.
Characters[edit source]
The following are playable characters in-game. Each have their own unique set of power ups and special ability. The first five characters from Hololive English -Myth- are available as default characters. Additional characters must be pulled via the game's gacha system. More characters are planned to be added in future updates, as well as additional outfits.[16]
