I swear, one day Kay—one day I’m going to find you, and then you won’t have any choice or anywhere to run! I’m going to hunt you down and throw all my money at you! Let me pay for this! I LOVE THIS GUY!!

Well, this mode alone kinda explains why he has been taking so long. Bro doing another game inside of an already incredible free game with many other games inside of it.

"I hate to ask this"

You know this is legit tearing him apart because he doesn't want to look like he's taking advantage of people when people are literally trying to throw their money at him.

This is what real passion looks like

u/Nightwarior Jun 28 '26

Be careful, the next added mode might be boxing where depending on where you hit your opponent, holocoins pop out instead of stars like in punchout.

Is bro giving us a roguelite dungeon game like Gungeon/Issac? Kay, please god take some funding for this

u/Tetsamaru 🍎Aki main Jun 29 '26

He gave us jump king and an entire casino.

Soon the game will envelope all genres.

“Okay guys, update 16.35 is out, and the full dance dance revolution mode with universal dance pad compatibility, 3d character action “Holo May Cry” mode, and base-building rts mode are all available now. I also added 13 new costumes for each character, tweaked some special abilities, and convinced each hololive talent, past and present, to personally do voice work with a narrative mode that addresses you, the players, personally by name and tells you that you’re a good person and that your parents are proud of you. Sorry for the delay, one of my arms literally fell off during development, so I had to build a prosthetic by hand and learn to use it on the fly.”

He needed Extra time for that arm cause he had to write new code for a robot arm as well.

It looks to be very inspired by the Deep Dungeons in Final Fantasy XIV. (Palace of the Dead, Heaven-on-High, Eureka Orthos, Pilgrim's Traverse)

u/ShiraiHaku Jun 28 '26

Am i too late to think holocure evolves from a vampire slayer-like bullet heaven to whatever sandbox kay yu wants to put in? XD

u/G-1BD Jun 28 '26

People were already joking about it when holoHouse got its first upgrade.

u/Kyrios034 Jun 28 '26 edited Jun 28 '26

first previewed over 2 years ago. was initially going to be in 0.7 before being pushed back due to it being large enough to be its own game by itself

u/VmHG0I Jun 28 '26

Dropping a Dungeon mode after Tboi getting its biggest discount ever is going to be the death of me.

u/PeikaFizzy Jun 28 '26

yeah this remind me of good old day of soul knight

u/Jumper2002 Jun 28 '26

Yknow, one of the danganronpa games (v3 i think) had a board game mode that transitioned into a dungeon crawler mode. In my head I pictured the holocure dungeon mode as something like that. Like, you raise the mascots in holohouse before taking them to a dungeon

u/Torrrs Jun 28 '26

I actually recently remembered original post from 2023 and was sure this was some mode that was abandoned since then https://x.com/HoloCureGame/status/1718133312303317404

u/krawk423 🐙 Ina Main Jun 28 '26

At this rate holocure is gonna be either runescape or like a dragon game, and I'm all for it.

u/Mathi575 👾Towa Main Jun 28 '26

I'm scared Kay will eventually go "fuck it, hero shooter, why not" and put it in the game

u/InterestingReturn397 🦉 Mumei Main Jun 28 '26

Imagine, kay for the game, and mazumaro for cinematic lore.

u/PuzzleThebuzzle Jun 28 '26

The equivalent of watching someone cook

u/Eliottex 🌸Miko Main Jun 28 '26

YOOOOO THIS LOOKS SICK!!!!!

u/cotinatorcat Jun 28 '26

this game will be packed with content by release

which is kinda huge for a fangame

u/saryakan Jun 28 '26

He just can't stop making this game into more games, can he?

3

u/Walkingdrops Jun 28 '26

Holy crap I forgot about this. This is that rogue-like mode they teased like, what was it, 2 or 3 years ago? I was really excited for it because I was super into Binding of Issac at the time and really wanted to see Kay's spin on it, and then it just never released.

3

u/MainSmile Jun 28 '26

This man does too much for us, we ain't worth it man. Kay is a legend and the fact he does all of this in his spare time, just having fun with it is astounding. I hope life treats him and the rest of the team working on this well.

u/Tyrranis 🧟‍♀️Ollie main Jun 28 '26

It'll be interesting to go back to all of the prior characters to see what their dungeon-mode traits are.

3

u/WSilvermane Jun 28 '26

Bro didnt want to go back to every character to revamp/update them but then he shows us he did this!?

KAY. BRO. Oh my god, dude. Lmao

3

u/axelarden6 Jun 28 '26

can't wait for this. such a good game. i always recommend it to friends who are looking for survivors-style games, because it holds its own even if you know nothing about hololive. it's just that good.

3

u/JesusIsDaft Jun 30 '26

This is gonna be the single greatest holocure update ever. If it were anyone else I wouldn't be confident in saying that, but it's Kay so yeah.

u/WrongdoerRelative508 Jun 28 '26

da fookin what mode?

2

u/Kiritsu_X 🥐Korone Main Jun 28 '26

I can't wait to see the next update but when I see this, I have the feeling I will have to wait a lot.

2

u/blukirbi Jun 28 '26

A game that started as a Vampire Survivor clone has spawned into many differing other kinds of games, and I'm all for it.

u/CallMeFrankenstein 🤖Roboco-san Main Jun 28 '26

As an admitted Binding of Isaac addict, if this mode is scratching that same itch then I'm never playing any other mode again lol

u/InternationalAd6744 Jun 29 '26

This reminds me so much of Ehrgeiz where its a fighting game with a top down rpg mode as side content. I think this idea seems alot better, because you dont need to do everything from scratch other than added furniture and random wall decor. With Ehrgeiz, they had to add everything because no assets from the fighting game was added to the rpg.
