Gonna go a bit of a sperg on that Holo Alt 2nd Teaser because some of that shit is done immensely well and the difference between the 1st and 2nd is quite a jump. The production value has 100% been upped since last time, even when you look into the credits of people alone.

Left is the 1st Teaser and Right is the 2nd teaser just now.

Even if you just compare from just the Key animators alone. 1st one had 9 animators whereas the 2nd one as 15 animators that's nearly 1/3 of a production increase in just one area. Not including the other experts for Background artists among other things. Hell even they fact they included more directors to oversee it all is a MAJOR thing.

Now lets just take a look at some the best bits from it.

First off I got to commend whoever did Aki's bit because DAMM they put in some effort to make her twirl that smooth and detailed now. Makes me wonder if some of the animators picked the girls they wanted to animate, reminds me of cases in anime where animators have picked their favourites and have go above and beyond to show them off as best they can.


The 5th gen bit was also pretty fucking sweet. They captured Nene personality and energy even though it was like 4 seconds. I'm also so glad someone in production thought "We need to have a zoom out shot of Botan with a sniper" they need a raise. I even found the animation storyboard clip for the Botan bit (Saucce)


LOOK AT THAT SMILE. To this day, I think it is so funny that Subaru has been branded as "Your the duck, you must accept your fate" and it's so engrained into her image I cant even imagine the duck thing without her.


Some Screenshots (No I didn't take them, I'm being lazy today)

I've barely touched on some other bits but the whole MV was just packed with goodies. Few more screenshots below, I even managed to find a storyboard piece on Twitter if you look on the #hololiveALT at the moment. Love the Ame one, looks so fucking smug.

Here is the storyboard piece I mentioned about. Link to the animator that did that exact shot = Sauce

I wonder if we get a 3rd teaser they would include the later ID/EN girls. Considering the the inclusion of 5th Gen and ID/EN 1st I'm guessing this was in production mid 2021 possibly and they didn't want to change any of the planning for the new girls. Only time will tell.. Until next time.

Conveniently I setup my screenshot software just before they started showing off the HoloEarth so I managed to grab like 90% of the what they showed. I still don't know what the direction of this game is. I want to have hope it will be great but it feels a little lost on me at the moment

Due to the amount I took, I'm not gonna be a cunt I'm putting this into a spoiler. If they release the video short, I'll also include in this post later EDIT: They did.

So they did show off the full avatar for the Female that you would play in game. No idea if they would make a "penis-haver male" avatar in their idol world now. But they got TRIGGER to do the design and I love TRIGGER for how based they can be at times. Looks really fucking good.

Supposedly from what I get from translations:
- This is DEFAULT design, you can make your own character, the clothes can be customized
- Male character will be available too eventually.

Ok they are so going for the sort of "Genshin Impact" sort of look and feel. Menus looks close and the whole world itself is fairly close as well. Fair play though, looks like the made quite some progress since last time they showed anything off now. I remain hopeful they will pull this off somehow.

There I saved you 1 hour of watching it and did what I do best and condensed into what was actually meaningful & informative.... When the hell is Holotalk coming back orange bird... kind of enjoy making them posts.

Damn, Bitch, you live like this?
It doesn't look like her usual room. More like storage room or something. She have another floor and walls in her room.

Who the hell wants to play male character in an RPG?
If you can catch a harem of girls (or at least there is a relationship in one form or another), then it makes more sense to play a male character, because it is easier to associate yourself with the protagonist.

edit.
Another Holo Earth trailer. It's awesome! I want to play it. I don't care what the quality of the gameplay is

Lui birthday part 2. With jp girls now.

edit2. btw what happened with Holo Alt? Is Holo Earth development of this?

But how does the 5 star Hag team compare to the Holobirds comp?
Which level does my Ame need to be for maximum efficiency from the Yagoo's Favorite buff?
And I heard if you play the game at 5 AM on a sunday, you see some weird green and purple girl following you around, but never approaching, but I've never seen a holomember with that design.
 
depending on what type of game it is modding may not be possible, but im sure people will rip the models and make unholy things with them.
if people really want a mod a game they'll create their own tools to do so; a lot of games weren't officially moddable but ended up with a lot of mods

I imagine if its online only modding will be very difficult to do on the user and modder end, since most online only games run checks for cheats that would catch most mods.

ah, yeah, if it's online only then that'd definitely fuck with modding.

is Genshin (or whatever game its based on) online only? i've never really had any interest in it.
