/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Pretty clearly a distraction they decided to release today to distract from a third Holostars EN generation in less than 2 years.

>>62635385
Considering what happened to the homos I don't think any reasonable fan would be mad.

>>62635457
>reasonable
Anon what about this board makes you think it's filled with reasonable people?

>>62635457
Yeah hopefully more of them graduate to balance the scales

They are going to have to make hololive a category on steam

They'll do it.

>>62635385
Wait what

Is there a stronger force in the universe than the pull of a holofaggot's lips to the corporation's asshole?

>>62635349
good

>>62635349
seems like a retarded idea, just let people do doujin games

>>62636599
Cover is teasing a new gen and some people think it's more homos

>>62637319
On what basis?

>>62637544
homos and homostar en account retweeting it.

>>62637235
Touhou had the same thing and that's what led to the explosion of touhou fangames on steam

>>62635349
Cover asking for a cut and be paid royalties for their IP will discourage new fan games to be made about Holos.
Talk about shooting themselves on the foot. Nijisanji and Vshojo will benefit the most as they will now be the ones getting tons of fan games.

>>62637319
don't know why they keep throwing money into failures.

>>62635349
I'm in game dev and I'm glad people have an outlet for this. Cover's basically acting as a hands-off publishing label, which in the current era is pretty strong. Even if they don't take a direct cut, they'll get dividends in progress for the "cultural victory".
There's pretty much no competition, too. Nijisanji actively squashes most fan game projects, and smaller corpos aren't going to have the exposure that the big two can provide, especially in the West. Indies and solo devs are a non-starter don't lie to me, you've never opened /log/ or a /vt/ game dev thread before today. For every HoloCure, there's a billion Calliope Mori's Underworld Tour 2022s or Kiara Catch The Chickens.
The debut title for the label looks like a 2008 Flash Game, but it's being made by one guy, so whatever.
My only real complaint is that it's required you put the game on Steam, which means it has to be a game that can go on Steam in the first place. If you're developing a tabletop RPG or a board game, you can't put those on Steam as standalone products, and I'm pretty sure Cover's not gonna let you put a Tabletop Sim Workshop Mod on Steam under their label.

>Nijisanji

Name 5 Niji fan games right now.
If you take longer than a minute I'll assume you googled it.

>>62635349
So.. that’s mean I can make 18+eroge with their moans and voices from stream right??

>>62639378
Yes

The important part of this is that it will result in more fan made hololive porn, like Touhou.

>>62639378
No

>>62635349
It is a change that only affects if you want to monetize the game. A win-win if you are going to create a fan game anyways. considering that Cover will probably stay with 50% and Steam with 30% of gross profits.

>>62635349
paid mods all over again

That's cool and all but where are the good porn games. The shit I see are just lazy imageset viewers disguised as games.

>>62635349
A huge W.

>>62638293
Make the tabletop game in physical form and mail it to cover maybe you'll get lucky and the staff playing it like it and the holos will play it in the studio during break.

>>62635349
So it begins

>>62635349
Reminds me of Blizzard eternal seething when they couldn't claim DotA as their creation, so they made a clause saying any custom game made in WC3 or SC2 is their property henceforth

>Give Cover money for the work you put in for your oshi(s)
>They literally take a cut for doing nothing but existing
>This also means they could theoretically cancel/shut down your game in the future
Getting some Nintendo vibes here anons

Cool rrat, keep repeating that until someone believes it

>>62647893
they are JP, just saying

That's the life!

Shiori should release a game

>>62635349
?

>>62635349
>we

>>62635349
bretty good

For anyone freaking out over this: You can simply not participate. Hololive isn't forcing anyone to join the program. You can still make Hololive fan games completely separately from Hololive.

>>62653990
Nobody is freaking out other than nijiniggers anon

>>62637949
>will discourage new fan games to be made about Holos.
>before this, game had to be made and released for free, meaning the devs got paid in exposure
>now they can earn some money, even through the Cover/steam cuts
Sure, the players will suffer a bit since they actually have to pau for games now, but devs and Cover are winning from this so I don't see how this would be discouraging

>>62635349
It's based and only a good thing.

>>62635349
There’s lot of mistranslation. Might need fuwamoco to dismiss misunderstanding

>>62648751
>tell cover they will be added in the 1.5 patch
>make the next patch 1.001
it seems to have worked for holocure

>>62637949
>Nijisanji and Vshojo will benefit the most as they will now be the ones getting tons of fan games.
making games for free requires actual passion for the material and talent. If fans wanted to make games about nijis they would have already and they have. I remember a shitty vn or two that nijis had last year and ironmouse's game jam.

>>62638896
Rocksuki
Rocksuki X
Rocksuki Zero
Rocksuki Legends
Rocksuki Battle Network
ez

>>62658933
Sidenote, I would fucking kill for a Rocksuki Battle Network, inject that shit on my veins and I will go one man army on a mission to destroy Riku's newest yacht.

>>62655453
Fan devs can refuse monetization retard, just like what kay yu did

>>62635349
Hololive is the new 2hu

>>62664238
YAGOO = ZUN
discuss

>>62649032
Shiori should release her delicious juices all over my face.

>>62667161
Weird how Hololive and Touhou both have a character who is an immortal with a rival who is related to the Moon and cooks chicken as a dayjob.

You know, I think I really want a hololive XCOM-styled game.

>>62671514
Make your dreams come true anon

>>62649032
She actually might, she was doing a game dev stream not too long ago

>>62635349
>we

>>62671998
Yes, you

>>62635349
massive W for small time game devs who enjoys hololive, their games are made from passion and so it has SOVL.

>>62635349
i like it! hololive is touhou now

>>62667161
KEK

>>62635349
it's fine but i worry about low quality games getting spammed to shit in an effort to make a quick buck

>>62667161
It's not yagoo's dream, its sora and a-chans

>>62635385
You figured it out

>>62635385
Anon, them debuting a new generation of talents isn't a controversy they're trying to suppress, you fucking idiot.

>>62635349

>>62638293
>'m pretty sure Cover's not gonna let you put a Tabletop Sim Workshop Mod on Steam under their label.
There's no harm in asking them.

>>62638293
>If you're developing a tabletop RPG or a board game, you can't put those on Steam as standalone products
Aren't those already covered by the doujin work clause? Also I'm sure if you actually create a proper tabletop game involving holos I'm sure you can reach out to cover and they'll find a way to sponsor I you for it

>>62686802
you're on /vt/. anything and everything that involves a male is a controversy. except for YAGOO and that jap man thing. speaking of which green lit this 3rd male gen, KEK

>>62661633
How is that related, exactly?

>>62635349
>make their oshi pay for their game
the money flow is now in full circle
>inb4 free
they still pay for their concert with their own pocket money, so it won't that much of a surprise if they need to actually buy the game

>>62647845
Anon, you can still freely produce your shitty fangame as long as you don't slap "Hololive™" on the title screen. Nobody forces you to go full corpo

>>62635385
>literally treating starsEN better than the girls
Why

>>62655453
>players will suffer a bit since they actually have to pau for games now
Retarded take. The ability to monetize their work will increase both the quantity and the quality of games produced. It might even attract already existing indie companies. And if you can't afford to spend $5 on a game, just pirate it.

>>62686802
it kinda is

>>62693198
Sorry, should've written "suffer" (with the quotes). I agree with you completely, the "suffering" comes from having to buy games instead of them being free, but they'd likely be of higher quality so it's not really much of a negative

>>62691618
>Don't slap Hololive, Holostars, Cover, or the like
>Also don't mention our talents by name
>Or allude to them
>Or reference them
>Unless you pay
It's shit like this, why shows in the USA have to call their Coca Cola "Code Cola" or some shit

>>62695839
That's a nice fanfic but the creative writing general is two blocks down

>>62635349
nothing intreresting

>>62664238
>>62667161
I was thinking the same. Too bad, Cover will never be as lax as ZUN, but it's still in the right direction.

>>62637235
They already do, this is just an official way to let them make money from it

>>62695839
Read the actual derivative works guidelines instead of listening to the voices in your head, retard

>>62635349
