Cover’s Vtuber brand hololive today released the second promotional video of its multimedia project “hololive alternative”, and revealed the new progress of the self-made game “Holo Earth” in a live program.
The first is the second promotional animation of “hololive alternative”. The characters appearing in the first animation are JP 1-5 students who did not appear in the first animation, as well as the first-term students of EN and ID. The theme song of the animation is sung by Comet Star Street, AZKi, Moona Hoshinova, and IRyS.
Then there is the live broadcast in the evening to reveal the new progress of “Holo Earth” and the first promotional video.
In the live broadcast, it was also announced that the orange short-haired girl who appeared last in the second promotional video of “hololive alternative” was actually the avatar of a fan. The character design was performed by Katsuya Sakamoto of the animation company TRIGGER (commonly known as Trigger Club). . The live broadcast mentioned that there are also male characters, but they are still in production.
In addition, this time, the main interface of the player side of “Holo Earth”, as well as some attack skill animations, and mission interfaces, etc., were also disclosed.
In addition to the game itself, in the live broadcast, the official also mentioned the previously tested player lobby. In the test at the beginning of the year, all users were just a triangle. In addition, it was mentioned in the live broadcast that this hall can be used to watch concerts in the future.
Compared with last year’s release, “Holo Earth” has indeed made significant progress, but according to the current official information, “Holo Earth” is divided into two parts: the player lobby and the game.
It can basically be seen that the “hololive alternative” in Cover’s mind is to build a hololive’s own worldview and invite players to interact with these Vtubers by “entering a different world”. The purpose is to break through the current limitations of live chat rooms and general SNS, and set up an own platform that allows both parties to have more interactive ways, and playing games itself is more like one of the mediums.
More follow-up news regarding “Holo Earth” will be released in succession following the official announcement.
