受彈幕射擊遊戲《吸血鬼倖存者》啟發的 hololive 主題遊戲《HoloCure》好玩又免費,在開發者 Kay Yu 佛心製作持續加入各種內容後,成為同人創作的標竿之作,直到最近《偶像對決》聲勢浩大,仍有 holomen 不忘本作、持續實況《HoloCure》。
不過今(12)早嚴肅公告嚇壞一堆粉絲,白底黑字引發「畢業或下架」等負面消息 PTSD,開發團隊在開頭追憶,《HoloCure》自 2022 年 2 月推出以來,這一段振奮人心的奇妙旅程,感謝粉絲與玩家長久以來的支持,談本作的未來發展,解釋為何下架原本的遊戲啟動器……原來是要上架 Steam了!

《HoloCure》開發團隊表示,在與 hololive production 事務所工作人員討論後,獲得授權在 Steam 上免費發表,「從幾個月前就與 COVER 聯繫上,當時就確保上 Steam 不會有問題,歹勢拖那麼久的時間。」
I would like to credit @SoftdevWu for giving me the idea to announce it this way

Kay Yu 感謝友人提供這個排版跟陳述方式的點子,團隊也預告未來 Steam 和 itch.io 兩個平台會同時推出 0.6 版《HoloCure》,建議玩家留好本來的遊戲紀錄檔 save_n.dat 避免有個萬一,文末它們調皮地道歉,「不好意思這公告是故意這樣寫的,看起來比實際上還要恐怖。」
im bringing you down with me my brother

另一方面,也有粉絲問現有遊戲進度中解鎖的成就是否會照搬到 Steam 成就,Kay Yu 則表示目前還在摸索如何結合,目標是讓玩家能對應獲得成就。
We're currently still slowly integrating into Steam, and right now I'm not 100% certain how Steam achievements work yet so I can't give a definitive answer
— Kay Yu (@kaynimatic) May 11, 2023
However my intention would be that the achievements you already have should transfer into steam achievements
過去 Kay Yu 曾說不會登上 Steam,但眼看《偶像對決》如此成功,他們也要跟上時代腳步啦~可喜可賀!
We can never ever add HoloCure to Steam. Steam is an official online store. Even if the game is completely free, there are rules to what you are allowed to publish on Steam.
— Kay Yu (@kaynimatic) February 3, 2023
One of these rules is that you must 100% own the IP of the game you're publishing, which we do not.
