Hi all,

I'm back again for my second port! This time a GameMaker Studio one.

The game is completely free, but the latest version is YYC compiled so you need to find an older version. However still, I have only managed to get it working with the 0.3.* series of the game (so you need to find one with that version).

Not sure if we can just bundle everything here as the game is free and developers made it available to all.

Dont think ive ever seen someone so excited about a port😄

#

Big compliment @ocean panther

lean crescent
#

holocure's legit fun

#

Holy s@!t thist is getting ported

urban tangle
#

Geez. Could have suggested it a while ago.

#

Back when we had the gm ports craze.

slow glacier
#

lots of mac droppings in the archive 😉

urban tangle
#

Don't act so surprised lol

ocean panther
#

it's not great for rgb30 though... it's good for landscape device

#

also @urban tangle @fossil island if you can help me

#

i'd love to get a higher / more recent version to run

lean crescent
#

but the latest version is YYC compiled so you need to find an older version. However still, I have only managed to get it working with the 0.3.* series of the game (so you need to find one with that version

rip save

ocean panther
#

well @lean crescent until we know how to get 0.6.* series to run

#

there is a version of 0.6 i managed to acquire

#

that hasn't yet got YYC on

#

but it is not compatible with any of the donor apks

lean crescent
#

ahh i see

ocean panther
#

but first question first

#

@spring fable @urban tangle @fossil island you reckon i can distribute assets with this one?

#

since it's totally free

urban tangle
#

Nope you still have to get permission from the dev

#

Unless it comes with a gpl license or something

lean crescent
#

manifests don't even have version number oni t

#

19 September 2023
Version: 0.6.1695147089

#

has to be this one

#

no wait

#

im wrong

urban tangle
ocean panther
lean crescent
#

Date: 28 June 2022
Version: DEMO 0.3.1656470021

urban tangle
#

Oof it has audiogroups

fossil island
lean crescent
#

i think all steam manifests are for 0.6 YYC

ocean panther
#

ah yep will contact the dev then

#

yes but Steam 6 months ago version was not YYC

urban tangle
#

YYC 2023.4 on itch

#

Hmm

lean crescent
#

0.6 Release
Date: 17 August 2023
Version: 0.6.1692237270

NEW

#

Anything prior to august 17

#

is not yyc

fossil island
#

And depending on how hard it is to get the non-yyc version, you will have to ask the devs

lean crescent
#

does itch has versioning? 😮

#

all i see is current on itcho 😦

urban tangle
#

It has a changelog with dates

fossil island
#

If its available on steamdb its fine

urban tangle
#

So you can see how much is missing

#

:v

spring fable
urban tangle
fossil island
#

Great

urban tangle
#

The only thing would be how much is missing between that and newest, like Forager.

lean crescent
#

prolly is missing a few characters, extra stages and the farm/house mode

#

but it's still fun at 0.3*

fossil island
#

Eh, personally i feel like its always worth it. Older version or nothing, easy decision

lean crescent
#

iirc 0.3 support mods for custom characters if you're into that

#

inb4 bonked

fossil island
#

Ive looked a bit into the licensing. So this is a fan-game, and they got permission to distribute regardless of copyright. So its probably not even up to the devs of holocure if we are allowed to distribute.

lean crescent
fossil island
#

I dont really see it happening, even though its a free game. Unless you get in contact with hololive and the devs of holocure and somehow get an agreement.

#

Worth a try i suppose 😄

#

Not easy

ocean panther
#

heard you are our communication officer @fossil island 😛

#

anyway; what other bit i need help with is finding a way for 0.4 / 0.5 or non-YYC version of 0.6 to run

#

i do have them

#

i just don't have the right apk donors atm

fossil island
fossil island
ocean panther
#

i need to find the right donor apk

#

as we discussed in the DM; i need a 2023.1 apk that has arm7ebi

fossil island
#

I doubt 2023.1 will work with gmloader-classic. I can look into it tomorrow.

ocean panther
#

ta

#

if not i'll compile gmloader if i can find the source

#

to point to the new arm64

fossil island
#

Source: JohnnyOnFlame 😄

ocean panther
#

oh droidports

#

here we go

#

anyway gotta go to my day job now

#

lemme know how it runs with 0.3 and we can finalise that ; and look at upgrading to 0.4/0.5/0.6

lean crescent
#

works a kinda laggy once gameplay has started

#

but it's playable if youre patient on r36s/640x480

fossil island
#

How would you describe laggy, low framerates?

lean crescent
#

like it runs at stable 20fps

#

it's overall slow

fossil island
#

Okay

lean crescent
#

but no audio lag

fossil island
#

Might just be rk3566 and up then

lean crescent
#

it's like there's an permanent slowdown

ocean panther
#

music bops though

lean crescent
#

yeah bangerbox lol

fossil island
fossil island
#

Or steam depots

fossil island
#

I found a 2023.4 wrapper with all the necessary libs for the 0.6 version. Getting the all too familiar Unknown symbol "__open_2" error.

#

This means we need gmloader-next for 0.6, im going to try it later. But that isnt ready for release, so 0.3 is the only one that will work for now.

solid ether
#

No fucking way. Wanted to suggest it and was even downloading it

#

Couldnt we add an Steam downloader program like Depot downloader and it just installs the Game on first boot

fossil island
#

If someone ports steam console :p Youd still have to log in to your steam

fossil island
solid ether
fossil island
#

Could be an interesting projectTurtleThink

solid ether
#

And we could if it isnt too hard. Implement it in the GUI if games are available on steam, the user gets the choose if they wanna provide their own files or install them directly from steam. And maybe if it is Possible add an File for own Steam account. So games that costs can also be installed

swift nymph
#

Nope

wet orbit
#

Would be quite a bit of scope creep

ocean panther
#

idea: port Steam to portmaster 😄

wet orbit
#

Don't tempt cebion lol

ocean panther
#

with X11/Weston that should be doable right?

fossil island
#

Steam would probably eat up half your cpu :p

ocean panther
#

fitting for the name

wet orbit
#

Bonus feature; turns your device into a portable steam cooker

solid ether
ocean panther
#

ah yeah in the repository i ignored them with .gitignore file @solid ether

#

because i zipped it manually this time for this channel they are there

wet orbit
#

Gave the port a shot with the latest 3.x version available in the archive Glas linked. I tested it on a more powerful device, but same as him I also experienced the slowdown he mentioned, so it doesn't seem to be caused by low performance. Perhaps it doesn't like the version tested?

fossil island
#

What device? Might be related to resolution

ocean panther
#

by default it runs at 1280x720

#

you might need to go into settings and switch it down to 640x360

#

then restart

wet orbit
# fossil island What device? Might be related to resolution

353m/ark, there aren't any performance hitches, and despite the rk3566 having a good deal more power the rs36s it still has the exact same slowdown, so I doubt resolution has anything to do with it.
I'll play around a bit with it tomorrow

fossil island
#

With same slowdown you mean a stable 20 fps?

#

Ill test tomorrow to see for myself i guess :p

yooooo

muted vigil
#

Excitedly catching up on all this. I didn't think 0.6 would be possible at all, interesting to hear there could be a chance.

#

Also, is my name just "Added April 3" for me or everyone and is that just what everyone has to call me now? 😅

swift nymph
#

I dont think anyone is forcing you?

muted vigil
#

Who made it that? Come on put your hands up?

swift nymph

You set it yourself?

Thanks @spring fable I did look to see if I could revert it but could work out how.

muted vigil
#

Ah server profile, found it. Anyway, back to Holocure. @ocean panther did you want an APK of 0.5 or have I misunderstood?

fossil island
#

I found an apk for 0.6, it just likely needs gmloader-next. Testing it today

queen cove
#

vibrating intensely in wait

fossil island
#

I got the 0.6 version running 🙂 However...

  • First of all, gmloader-next is not ready for release
  • The game runs at less then half of full speed even though the framerate is ok
  • The only way to get the 0.6 non-yyc version of the game is through archive.org..
WhatsApp_Image_2024-04-04_at_13.36.46_d7e8c01f.jpg
#

I think, and im not 100% sure, that the speed of the game is determined by the framerate. Which means we need to get 60fps for full speed, and thats not gonna happen. We'd need someone with a high power device to confirm this.

I have seen the slowdown happen on an apk of .6 on rg405v

#

my rg405v actually. Had it on max performance and everything via gammaOS 1.5.1
Still slows down. We thought it was because the device is too weak but no, it runs fine on super underclocked Ryzen 3

fossil island
#

I did find some hidden settings in utmt that could help a little with performance:

        var fxaa_str = "ON"
    else
        fxaa_str = "OFF"
    if directional
        var directional_str = "ON"
    else
        directional_str = "OFF"
    if occlusion
        var occlusion_str = "ON"
    else
        occlusion_str = "OFF"
    if blur
        var blur_str = "ON"
    else
        blur_str = "OFF"
queen cove
#

maybe its the number of active onscreen "units"

fossil island
fossil island
queen cove
#

like not just the enemies on screen but the "debris" too like trees, rocks and walls. maybe even projectiles

#

maybe turning off some of those settings will help with that, like the occlusion and blur? last i heard those eat a lot for what they do

fossil island
#

I mean maybe, its always a surprise with gms games🤷‍♂️

#

Some run great, others run at 3 fps. Graphics are not a good indication

urban tangle
#

I have a 552, I can test your “high power” theory. Send me your package in DM.

#

I’ll try it tonight,

worldly radish
#

Same if you need

fossil island
#

With the 0.3 version.

muted vigil
#

This game will slowdown on a steamdeck with a lot of elements on screen; on the same device in Windows it fares better. I was half joking when I suggested it as would be surprised if you could get through a whole run without it almost grinding to a halt. That was my experience with it on a number of Android devices anyway. Happy to be proven wrong though! I dont have anything high powered enough to help with testing at this point but happy to help out if and when it gets to that state.

fossil island
#

Its a pretty bad sign if the steamdeck cant run this game properly. That thing is like 6 times more powerful than the average PM device

muted vigil
#

It's perfectly playable on the deck, don't get me wrong, but it does suffer slowdown at times late in an endless run. I think there might be something than needs to be done in proton to alleviate it. Otherwise I find it weird that it's not verified on Deck as the only other issue I can see them taking umbridge with is the fact that it you can choose 720p and not 800p.

#

Didn't Vampire Survivors move to Unity because of similar issues? Probably needs a different engine.

fossil island
#

It needs better optimization, not a different engine

#

Plenty of better looking games made with gms

muted vigil
#

With as many on screen sprites?

Example of one with thousands of sprites on screen: https://store.steampowered.com/app/790060/The_Void_Rains_Upon_Her_Heart/

Tbf, this one also shows slowdowns on rk3566 :p This has way more sprites though.

muted vigil
#

Maybe you're right then, I think Kay Yu has expanded the number of people working on the game, maybe we will see more optimisations in the future.

fossil island
#

It might also be the reason they stepped over to YYC.

#

Anyway, im not sure how this port is going to work out. Its a really bad sign if even the steamdeck has minor slowdowns.

wet orbit
#

I'm not entirely buying that the slowdown is caused by performance issues, bar some really strange hardcoded shit

fossil island
#

Feel free to look around in utmt. Maybe theres some weird things to be found

muted vigil
#

I really think it's a proton thing on steam deck. I'm trying to find where I saw that mentioned before.

muted vigil
fossil island
#

Its a surprisingly good game, shame it doesnt perform well enough on rk3566. Steamdeck will be perfect for it😄

muted vigil
#

Lots of reddit threads about steam deck slowdown late in Holocure. Like I say, it's much better in win 10 on the deck. I love Steam OS, but there are a few things that are just easier or work with less farting on in windows (like OBS for example and the Sinden Light guns) and I hate windows. I hate it so much.

#

If Windows had a face I would ignore it and kick it directly up the arse, then punch it right in the Microsoft Store.

Oh thats waayy better @worldly radish

#

Like triple the speed lol

interesting would be to see someone with s922x/a311d

that's pretty playable speed levels tbf

i don't remember if collabs were in 0.3 but maxing and fusing the lava and spider cooking was OP af

#

good idea @noble isle 😛 it's just that the publicly available link from the author is the latest version which... isn't compatible

noble isle
#

oh.. dear. its a bit less clear if you were to pull on wayback snapshots i would imagine

muted vigil
#

I would just ask Kay Yu on Twitter. I'm sure that they already said they would not allow mods of Holocure, likely so they don't run into trouble with Hololive (cos I can just imagine what some of the mods would be). After reading the DDLC discussion, I believe this may be a no for similar reasons. A shame and my apologies if this is the case as I wouldn't have suggested it, even in jest.

queen cove
#

he said mods not ports. To clarify, to him mods mean like adding in unofficial characters, modification of stats, adding a cheat table.
He does not condone mods that do that, just won't be able to support it because it is not within their scope of things to do/fix.

muted vigil
#

Yep I understand, I just think his stance on ports may be similar, due to the legitimacy of the game ultimately being in the hands of Holocorp.

#

And as I say, we can always ask. Maybe I will be happily proven wrong In my suspicions. 😀

#

Just found this so maybe all is not lost https://x.com/kaynimatic/status/1573739208321081344

Kay Yu (@kaynimatic) on X

@AsinineGamer4 Yep. The app is called HoloCure (Early Access), with screenshots of the game and contains ads. You have to click to get to the last part of the description where it says it's just a guide

The intentions here are pretty clear, and that's where it crosses the line.

Twitter ·
#

Sorry thought I'd linked to the exact reply. It's in that thread though where Kay Yu has said they are okay with ports.

lean crescent
muted vigil
#

Yeah that's the one

muted vigil
#

Oh wow, I didn't realize Holo X Break has released, will be grabbing that after work.

queen cove
#

they are updating that too and adding a pause/continue where you left off save because the ones that tested the game were fast vs actual player time now being double or triple the testers time

muted vigil
#

I finally got round to trying this on the RGB30. Pretty slow. Yup.

Hi, just tried running holocure on trimui smart pro, and it works fine. but the character movement is really slow, like slowmotion. is there any way to fix it or speed it up?

fossil island

No the game is running at 10% speed
