you are so easily deceived

Honestly wish I spent an entire section just talking about the OST for this game since it has no right being as good as it is. The remixes go way too hard.

@@slimeprivilege Tell me you don't know anything you're talking about without telling me you don't know anything you're talking about

@@slimeprivilege what cause you to lost your hope in humanity ?

@@Woefool_ in all fairness mr Tanigo did compare them to AKB48 for a reason (besides creating an evergreen Meme)

Wow I still play that game on my phone from time to time. i was always thinking if they copied VS but it was the other way around. So cool.

Except it was Crimsonland. April 22, 2003.

Yeah like VS isn't exactly the most original game but I'll be damned if it doesn't what it does well

Ikr, Magic survival mentioned

Honeslty I hadn't heard of VS until like half a year later

called Holo X Break and is also free on Steam

Oh heck yeah, crossing my fingers that it has a Ragnarok Battle Ofline feel

He did, but it's not that good

Indeed, it’s hella fun

Fun fact: the main dev behind both Holocure and Holo X Break, Kay Yu, is also an animator. And he is making an animated MV for one of Hololive's EN branches, HoloPromise, to celebrate their 6 month anniversary.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention if but this is a great point too. It makes building into them a lot more convenient since you can kinda just pick items you want based on your character and then choose weapons from there or vice versa. A lot more seemless than having to combo two weapons imo

@@Woefool_ The best part was that you are allowed to have 4 Collabs and 1 Super Collabs at max based on your inventory. For balance purpose, you are only allowed to have Golden Hammer if you reach Lv 50 and ONLY 1. Otherwise, you would break the game.

saying magic survival has no sauce is like disregarding everything about its art direction and setting :P

@@angelerror4086 The enemies are squiggles, and the translation is so bad one of the moves is called "Deny of Exist"

@@grfrjiglstan They aren't just squiggles for the sake of squiggles, I honestly love the game's artstyle, there's a whole bunch of people trying to recreate it. There's also lore about the setting too. The translation is unrelated to the "sauce"

It's FREE???

@@qwertydavid8070 despite how much everyone wants to throw money at him, the dev just wouldn’t let us!!

​@@qwertydavid8070 It's free 👍 Because the creator is a G👌

Honestly at some point in VS, outside of when I unlock a new character and do a run with them, I just end up using the ones with weapons I like and largely neglecting the passives lol. I'm honestly not even super entrenched in Hololive or the community (I am mostly a clip enjoyer myself), but the amount of dedication that the fans have is honestly insane. I don't know that I've seen a fandom go to these lengths just out of respect for the creators that they like and it's kind of nuts, and even if some of the games are more amateur I honestly think that's fine since it allows people to support holo while improving their own talents. It's all very inspiring to see imo. Kay Yu choosing to make his second game ALSO free just makes me respect him magnitudes more tbh since he is truly in it for the passion or he's just nuts but either way I'm all here for it.

@@Woefool_ I'm myself mostly clips enjoyer (since Kizuna Ai era, before HoloEN debut), but begin liking Hololive concerts since last year (Marine's retro concert in 4:3, CRT filter was crazy, or Bae's choreo skills, man...).

I really want more indie/fangames games made with passion to flourish rather than cash-grabby ripoffs tbh. Didn’t know how good we had it back in the old RPGmaker days.

imagine a game where its holocure but with touhou characters

Honestly cannot express how much I appreciate this comment and I hope to continue making more videos that maintain that level of quality!! Thank you very much for your kindness and I'll do my best to make sure each video is as entertaining as the last :)

Me 207th

Wanted to follow up on this and say it’s crazy that after only 10 days I’ve reached almost 1500 views!!! I honestly can’t thank all of you enough for taking the time to comment and like. I’ve been very busy the last few weeks with projects and stuff but hoping the next video does even a fraction as well as this and people like it as well :)

@@Woefool_ Uhh so this video exploded much more than I thought it would especially after like 3 days of my last comment. So as a little preview of my next video to anyone reading this comment, I'll definitely be doing a video about Wuthering Waves since I have some... Opinions on the game after being relatively excited pre-release.

@@Woefool_ the algorithm has blessed you!

@@Woefool_ your quality is comparable to content creators with hundred thousands followers. Due to that, You're going to get one more :)

Good job on 500 views!! :)

THIS IS TRUE. i never finished but it's very fun. i love many of the easter eggs

Wait the art style for this one looks pretty dope. I might honestly check it out later this week.

Honestly plan to do a deep dive video on Touhou and its fandom at some point. I just don’t know from exactly what angle to tackle it from yet but I have a friend who can help me so I’m hoping I can get to it soon?

yayy

Glad to hear you liked it and the support is extremely appreciated! Love seeing everyone's thoughts :)

Yes!

I looked up some gameplay after seeing this and honestly I just love the aesthetic enough that I might just download it and go in blind. Love to see these super well crafted titles that are free and made just cuz the creators are inspired.

I’ll be sure to let them know!!

You just reminded me of back when my PC was garbage so I’d watch Touhouvania playthroughs on KZfaq! Honestly, still some of my fav fan designs for a lot of those characters.

I wish I were more into fighting games admittedly cuz Idol Showdown is nuts in how mechanically indepth it is and the fact that they even have rollback??? All for a free game is actually something else.

I think one of my friends talked about this game to me a while back and yeah from what I heard it’s CRAZY polished and quality. Honestly you mentioning it’s challenging by itself is enough for me to consider looking into it lol

I can't open the damn app for sum reason

I admittedly have never been SUPER in touch with Hololive stuff but I keep up through clips and posts online. When Myth came out it was Ina, then Bae and now it's either her or Shiori. All of the girls and guys at Holo are very talented but those are the three I vibe with the most and I feel like those three REALLY tend to innovate a lot and bring new stuff to the table which I really respect.

This is the only time I’ve ever heard someone call him caillou, everyone pronounces it K You and he hasn’t said otherwise so that would be the correct pronunciation not caillou

Firstly wanted to say that I really appreciate how you frame your thoughts and bringing up aspects you may not agree with!! For the first bit about golden eggs, I can see the perspective of it being something of a joke especially with how many other things Poncle include in VS specifically to make jokes or poke fun. I guess my issue stems more from the execution rather than the intent -- Golden Eggs, whether a joke or not, are very clearly important for a LOT of players as a sort of dopamine receptor hit which I don't personally love. Though they clearly are still supporting the game up to this day so with the more patches that they release, my critiques of the endgame will (hopefully) become more and more outdated. As for the second paragraph, I can see how what I talk about can be construed as me dogging a bit on indie games that are trying to turn a profit. That's partly on me for not refining the script more, but I'm also still very new to the whole YT thing so some intent I didn't mean can slip through the cracks. I actually don't have a problem with indie game creators or any artists trying to monetize their craft -- if anything, it's a good thing that people are supported! My gripe largely stems from very blatant examples of trying to hop onto a trend and "cash in" if you will, whether it be through actual monetary gain or the popularity of a certain topic. It's why I used things like Survivor.io and a somewhat notorious trend of horror mods found within the Friday Night Funkin community a few years back. Obviously this is my own assumptions and biases, but in the case of these two examples (particularly Survivor.io which I feel is VERY shameless in ripping off VS while including a bunch of predatory microtransactions and mobile game practices) they do tend to leave kind of a weird taste for me since I don't love the implication that these practices have on the greater community/industry. It's kind of like how back in the day, one game studio did the "online pass" trend to stop people from buying used games and then everyone did it, or like how when Overwatch made a boatload of money with lootboxes, everyone jumped on the bandwagon. I'm really passionate about indie games in particular and when trends oversaturate the market, I find that a lot of the passion projects and aspiring artists ironically end up being buried BECAUSE they refuse to go along with what has been proven to work. If that wasn't conveyed properly in my video, then that's ultimately on me though! And I hope that I was able to elucidate a bit more and sort of explain why I kinda play hardball with some things which to me feel a bit.... Iffy, to say the least. I think integrity matters a lot in all facets of art, so when it all just becomes profit driven or popularity driven is when I get a really big chip on my shoulder. Sorry if I'm a bit wordy I've been having to write scripts for the past few days so it's hard to turn off writer-mode lmao, but like I said earlier I really appreciate the input :).

@@Woefool_ Ya, no problem, glad it was helpful :'D I often feel silly for trying to give constructive feedback in youtube comment section and often wonder if it comes across as overly negative or such x'D

Nah no need to worry as long as people are being constructive I’m willing to talk :) and I didn’t think you were being negative or anything, just genuinely critiquing as needed.

The power of a dedicated fan/fanbase is something to behold!

Thank you very much!!!

Oh shit. I didn’t notice this slipped through the cracks. It’s a fan game called FNAF Evolution.

@@Woefool_You lied to me, it was not

I found it. It is called endless inside, if anyone wants to know

Shit my bad 💀 it’s endless inside. I was gonna use a different game for footage and got my wires crossed when looking at the files.

@@Woefool_it’s all cool, we all make mistakes (in the heat of passion Jimbo) Also thank you, I’ve been looking for that game for a while, and you gave me a little help

Yeah I’m in the same boat but considering how busy the dev seems to be while still making so much good shit I’d so much rather he wait and cook than rush out content

@Woefool_ what? Is he making new games? I didn't know that. The only 2 I saw on Steam were holo cure, and that beat em up. My life just got less bright since I 100 percented the game.

@@rekora1045 no new games have been announced, but Kay Yu’s main source of revenue is as an artist and animator for some fairly popular shows/anime so I am guessing that can sometimes make it hard to consistently put out content for the two he has out now :o

@Woefool_ That's cool to know. Thanks for the information! I hope he still makes more content for it, though, lol.

@@rekora1045 Last I heard it was still planned and in progress, but you should expect a schedule of something like six months to a year between updates (or, something like that). Also something about probably never having all the hololive productions members, simply because they'll probably never catch up with the debuts of new talents.

Actually that is now a thing of the past, currently they offer support for game projects from fans and even offered support to the creator of this game but he rejected it.

@@jakjsjs oh good to know, again i wasn't all sure of the specifics but this is a step in a good direction, thanks for telling me

Think of it more like Celeste is propped up off the back of the GOATs :) cuz there ain’t no replacing or surpassing any of those games if you ask me.

@@Woefool_whilst I understand that is the intention, from a visual standpoint having celest just drop in and squish the others does kinda imply a “crushing” vibe.
