The game itself being free is sort of a given considering what sort of bureaucratic hell Kay would have to go through to make Holocure an officially licensed product, but the fact that he explicitly refuses to even set up a patreon is baffling to me. Holocure has grown far beyond a Hololive fan game (we're at a point where Vampire Survivors, the godfather of the genre, is taking inspiration from Holocure for new game mechanics) and it's almost frustrating that I can't monetarily support such a project.
I'm sure he could have worked with Cover to split the revenue with them without too much difficulty, even if it meant he got a very small cut, but even if it was as little as $1, that would be enough of a barrier for many people not to try, which goes against what he is trying to do.
@@anewfutureif cover can get hold of holocure, then the app must comply with cover policy. in a sense, holocure must legally remove anything that can affect cover's reputation whether cover likes it or not (case #1 our flat necromancer) not monetizing the app is probably the best way to keep any legal actions at bay so that we can enjoy it to the fullest sense
the reason Kay refuses donations or Patreon is because he wants to keep this as a hobby, as a passion project. when money enters the equation then its going to stop being a hobby and start being work. Holocure has Cover's blessing. i mean he is able to release it on Steam. now to release a game on Steam you have to own the IP for the game. Holocure is a fangame that uses the Hololive Productions IP which is owned by Cover. so under normal circumstances Kay would not legally be able to release it on Steam even if its free. so yeah want to clear up the misconception that the only reason it isn't monitized is because Cover's Guidelines for Acceptable Fanworks requires it to be free.
He's a pretty high profile key animator for some big properties so ideally they pay him at least enough for some sake to drown out the voice that haunts him in his sleep. "Next update please."
I like he really tries to be known for his talented art skills but isn’t shy about his work on HoloCure, just maintains them professionally separated. Also Zamn! He is great at animating especially big ol Mommy Mi-
I'm pretty sure he's going to go down as the legendary Holocure dev rather than some kind of artist. There are many artists but there is only one Kay Yu-sensei.
Kay-Yu super well known from doing animation for anime, holocure barely a scratch in his thick resume. If he didn't want the credit, we have to respect that.
Id say a whole ass video game with years of development definitely deserves to be named. Not to put down animation as a medium but video game development is a lot more intensive. I guess it's their own choice but...come on it's free advertising for yourself. This game really could make a career simply by association.
@@raysan88 "worked as an animator", heh. Apparently: "Kay-yu has been key animator for SAO: Alicization, Boruto, Bleach, Tengoku Daimakyou, Oniichan wa Oshimai, Mushoku Tensei and Mushoku Tensei II".
That's why Holocure being a passion project is a great decision. Being paid to do updates could make him think that this is one of his jobs and it'd pile up in his list. As a passion project, he can work on it whenever he wants and when he does, the love and passion shows, and people would understand if the update would be late compared to other updates since Holocure is a passion project.

Excuse me sir, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Kay-Yu? He's been the key animator for Mushoku Tensei, Mushoku Tensei 2, SAO: Alicization, Boruto, Bleach, Tengoku Daimakyou, Oniichan wa Oshimai and most notably the face behind the critically acclaimed fan-made game based off the vtuber company hololive, founded by none other than the best girl YAGOO.
It's not really the devs fault, most of the time, management doesn't give them enough time. Crunch is especially bad in this industry. If anything blame the higher ups for bad planning or their completely short-sighted view on profit
@@unknownuser4527 The difference between being able to make a game with passion and making a game simply for capitalist reasons. Though I say the latter lightly as obviously the executives in a company don't actually do any work lol
For those who dont know, Kay Yu does the animations for Gura and Calli's song, Q. He'd also the one who made the animation for pekorap part of Pekora's intro screen
I guess Kay-yu does does have a lot of exposure animating a lot of anime and now holocure so they’re now well known in JP and EN and other places that Holocure is popular at. But still not even one mention that he’s related to the project is such a chad move and really does show that it’s purely a passion project.

Get Kaela to threaten Kay Yu with breaking ubergrinding record after ubergrinding record unless he puts his name in the credits. That would probably do it.
Kay-yu knows that he can very much become rich just by putting a price tag on his games, honestly pretty admirable and very stubborn , I never see this in someone before kek. Hoping he and his team get to the highest dream they ever want!
In an era of 60 dollar priced, fully locked down games with broken launches, broken promises and paid gacha elements, this game is truly a blessing of the gods.
Put your name in the credits. It'll be a huge boost if you're applying for a Game-Dev position at a company. Even if it's just "some silly little fan game", it's great for showing off what you can do.
Sometimes you play a free game and it’s fun. Other times though you play a free game and feel bad because it’s so good you feel like you need to pay the dev somehow!
I would easily pay 20 or 30 USD for this game... It is honestly so good!!! But I can't believe Kay Yu isn't even in the credits... Man someone should make a game about him! Hahaha!! ^_^
Kay-yu really worked on Strive and River City Girls with Arc system works, and is also one of the main developer's of Holo-cure and also part of the Onimai staff, and he acts like is not a big deal Man is everywhere
the main reason is that Kay has stated that even if the game COULD be monetized that they wouldn't because he wants it to remain a hobby and adding money into the equation would turn it into a job. the holocure team if i recall are all volunteers. they too do this as a hobby. it being released on Steam is Proof enough that it has Cover's blessing. (also i do not believe that donations to the devs making the game are against the Fanwork Guidelines. you just can't monetize the game such as, upfront price to play it,or in-game monetization such as gacha, or paid dlc but do make sure to double check this statement)
Makes sense, as charging any amount for the game would shift the relationship with the player base as one of service-consumer and the players would be entitled to make demands which could not be reasonable for the dev team, and turn this passion project into a headache...
The Chadness of not putting his name in such a project is that he doesnt need to show it in his portfolio because the entire player base IS his portfolio.
I still have a dream this will be on the SWITCH and Nintendo will just be like "What!?!? We didn't put it up there! It just appeared. Weird. Anyways you all have two weeks to download it before it's taken down. Spread the word. IT'S FREE!!!!"
iirc isnt kay-yu the only dev? the exception is that all the music didnt he find in a few different places but he just like got the rights to use it after talking with whoever?
Would they even be allowed to sell it if they wanted to? Considering they're using corpo vtubers that own the rights to all the assets I imagine they would need to sort out a deal with hololive and such.
Actual mad lad. Like, literally insane. That is an entirely nonsensical outlook, take some goddamn credit for your achievement before the zeitgeist moves on and some vulture scavenges your legacy. Like Tommy Tallarico.
Not that this has anything to do with the video, but if I'd known this stream was coming up, I could've begged for a Sonic P-06 speed game with Korone.
Wait, Holocura is free? I haven't played it yet because I didn't want to pay for something that I am not sure how much I would play, but now I have no excuse.

Put your name in the credits. It'll be a huge boost if you're applying for a Game-Dev position at a company. Even if it's just "some silly little fan game", it's great for showing off what you can do.
I mean, he was the animation director for River City Girls 2, and a key animator for several Anime, I don't think his resume is really lacking tbh.
If I was him I'd make a generic patreon as a dev/artist, but he's a chad and wants it to be like this so mad props to kay yu.

2. Makes it free.
3. Doesn't put name in credits.

on the steam page, both the dev and publisher are listed as Kayanimate. That's close enough to a credit id say.

No pun intended, I swear
Kay Yu going to be elevated to idol-dom.
He is also the sprite animator for the River City Girls games.
i was surprised when kay yu name appear on one piece credit 😂
Kay yu and his daily torture by kaela
wth he gotta put his name in the credits
It's because Kay Yu doesn't want people to put 2 and 2 together, real name Okayu

Man, I never knew that but what a chad move. Now I feel like I need to play HoloCure just to show respect to Kay-Yu
Kay-Yu is so cool and I support him with all my heart
holocure devs all chads, a labor of passion and desire and fandom.
Wait if I have progress on the downloaded holocure Can it transfer my save to the steam version?
The last time I played holocure was when it's first out, are they implemented controller support now?
He doesn't need to put his name in there because nowadays everyone knows that he made it. Thats how much of an Impact the game had.
Kay yu may not credited in game but the girls credited him on streams, its a win win i guess
I would line up the credits so that people's initials keep spelling my name

I thought v0.6 was dropping on August 17 to coincide with Indonesian Independence Day
Whats your outro music called?

I nominate Kay-yu for secret boss in game.
Twitter banner, UA-cam profile/banner outro (animation?) source?
for free!!!! TBH though to the holocure Dev's I'd gladly pay $5cnd for it lol
I doubt they could charge for the game anyways since they are using Cover's talent designs and brands
Cover could easily give them permission to monetize it.
Kay just doesn't want to. It's a passion project.
His art is so good
Kay is awesome!

Tbf if he did make money with it all hell would break lose.
Si juego aveces mi control donde lo dejaste no lo encuentro 😅 i si tengo switch bueno cuídate
I wish kay yu would try to get hololive to adopt this game so he can make some money off this game because he and the dev team absolutely deserves it
You gotta respect the holocure devs.
I didn’t know it released on Steam on my birthday
Neat
she's adorable
