Currently a creator, Roboqlo started learning game development and illustrations only after they had started working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"46b95801-31ba-4178-acc5-5dadab7b9111\"><strong>\u2014\u2014Thank you for allowing us to interview you!<\/strong><br><strong>For starters, could you share with us what you have done up till now and your jobs in the past?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"1324f33e-eec0-4530-99b3-28ac0c571f90\"><strong>Roboqlo:<\/strong><br>\u201cHoloParade\u201d is actually the very first game I made public. Before I became a creator, I was working as a system development leader in the IT department of a company. It was a company that gathered many brilliant talents from all over the world and allowed me to gain many valuable experiences. Apart from technical skills, I also learned a lot about project start-ups and advancements, and I believe the experiences from there led me to release \u201cHoloParade successfully.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"9cf587bd-fae9-40b5-a31c-b8b50426da14\">Through this company, I gained an interest in game development. Back then, I created original titles rather than fan-made works. A couple of publishing companies contacted me, but my job had taken up much of my time, and I stopped developing the game midway. Since then, I had not created games for a long time, until three years ago. When I finally freed up time, I started learning illustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"19c7929d-7c9b-4c3e-a10b-82c9b401b5d5\"><strong>\u2014\u2014Three years back, it was during the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"385593b0-08bc-45b7-9ba7-e6e6941a83c0\"><strong>Roboqlo:<\/strong><br>Yes. Since we had to work from home, it gave me the liberty to use all of my free time to learn how to draw. I posted my drawings on social media and could see my drawings getting better. As more people reacted to my drawings, the stronger my feelings of becoming a creator became, the more I started to seriously think about where I could utilize my strengths to their maximum. However, just doing illustrations alone was difficult for me realistically speaking, in terms of my ability and situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"eca7fa7f-742d-46a0-af34-f4127fea18c9\">At that time, in order to brush up my illustration skills, I requested Mr. Lack-sensei(<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lalalalack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@lalalalack<\/a>) to correct my illustrations. I asked him about my future path, and he told me, \u201cSince you have illustration and game development skills, you shouldn\u2019t just do illustrations, but use both skills together effectively.\u201d With those words as my support, I put that plan into action and started developing \u201cHoloParade\u201d in September of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"dfee7263-aa62-40fb-96a9-8865e93be19e\"><strong>\u2014\u2014It\u2019s amazing how your first game is \u201cHoloParade\u201d!<\/strong><br><strong>Since you\u2019ve created original games previously, why did you choose to create a game based on \u201chololive\u201d?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"e4683f96-3c1f-4648-b083-96b4613c45c9\"><strong>Roboqlo:&nbsp;<\/strong><br>It\u2019s been 3 years since I took up illustration as a hobby, but I had already known of hololive before then. I kept drawing a bunch of hololive fanart, too. The reason why I chose hololive as the base of my game, is of course&nbsp;<strong>because I love hololive! (lol)<\/strong>&nbsp;In addition, I think it\u2019s also because hololive is a huge worldwide community. There are so many fans, and having many people play my game would lead to new opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"dc23c9aa-a474-47b6-8708-0032b77a3388\"><strong>\u2014\u2014Your love for hololive is very evident in \u201cHoloParade\u201d!&nbsp; \u201cHoloParade\u201d is being played by fans throughout the world, which is exactly what you had aimed for.<\/strong><br><strong>What was the reason behind it being the first release under \u201cholo Indie\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"313aa57c-d028-4159-9dbe-fd817629e7a7\"><strong>Roboqlo:<\/strong><br>Let me see. Actually, I was the one who contacted COVER Corporation, the management of hololive. I got a reply from my current person-in-charge, who wanted to speak to me face-to-face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"21e5f0c1-8fff-4409-8c49-7a27a95b6038\"><strong>\u201cholo Indie\u201d In-charge:<\/strong><br>We also wanted to get in touch with Roboqlo, but we got a contact from them first. My immediate thought was, \u201cYes, definitely!\u201d When we got their contact, \u201cholo Indie\u201d was still in its planning stage. As we had meetings with Roboqlo, we were able to learn the frank opinions of creators and what they wanted. It wouldn\u2019t be an overstatement to say that those words were what made \u201cholo Indie.\u201d They are a very reassuring presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4d973ab5-f503-4d53-aca7-ee983d1d66c9\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%96%A0_A_development_that_comes_from_being_a_massive_fan_of_hololive\"><\/span>\u25a0&nbsp;A development that comes from being a massive fan of hololive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"b67e0b28-996b-471a-8d41-609542de96b4\"><strong>\u2014\u2014Please tell us what you paid special attention to with the development of \u201cHoloParade.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"5bf2d62a-69ed-45a6-93f2-e1f15aa817f2\"><strong>Roboqlo:<br><\/strong>I put the most effort into a game design that would bring the most out of hololive\u2019s charm. Firstly, not only the talents but also the viewer\u2019s mascots are full of charming characters. Also, the talents\u2019 live streams are not one-sided. The interactions with the viewers make a wholesome environment and a lively and fun space. The result I came up with from infusing the \u201cmany charming characters\u201d and \u201clively environment\u201d into one screen resulted in a 2D tower defense game with pop visuals. Of course, I had to put jokes that fans could understand and laughable ones. After all, I am another big fan of \u201chololive,\u201d so I had to squeeze everything I love about hololive into the game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"6b062957-07e9-4930-9bad-f58afe58ce9a\"><strong>\u2014\u2014It is truly a game that you were able to create because you are a big fan. \u201cHoloParade\u201d does have an energetic feeling similar to the talents\u2019 live streams! (lol)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"2999ec8f-4e35-482b-9184-4053e78743a1\"><strong>Roboqlo:<\/strong><br>If we\u2019re talking about parts I paid special attention to, there\u2019s another good example&#8230; There is a minigame in \u201cHoloParade\u201d called \u201cHurryUP! Mikochi!\u201d where I reenacted the live stream interactions between Sakura Miko and her viewers \u201d35P (pronounced Mikopi).\u201d I had only thought of this minigame right before the release&#8230;<br>With the approval of everyone on the \u201cholo Indie\u201d team, I added the minigame a week before release, just right before the promotion. As I had created \u201cHoloParade\u201d alone, I could freely add in whatever I thought of and wanted to do.

It was a completely different industry from the one I\u2019ve worked in, and I remember it was very refreshing and fun. Being a creative is working towards something from nothing, which allowed me to work in a positive and forward-looking attitude.&nbsp;<br><br>And things that troubled me&#8230; I don\u2019t know if this would be considered, but when I presented \u201cHoloParade,\u201d \u201cholo Indie\u201d was not yet a thing. When I was kept in the dark regarding the final verdict of the game, I felt uncertain since it was quite a long period, and the game had already been created. I also couldn\u2019t tell anybody about it until it was announced, so I did feel helpless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"f27f1348-8549-4f3b-a539-a954b3985297\"><strong>\u201cholo Indie\u201d In-charge:<\/strong><br>After Roboqlo contacted us, there had been a couple of meetings, but there was quite a long period when we had to keep it confidential from third parties&#8230; At every meeting, Roboqlo would prepare proposals and agendas, and their responses gave me the impression that they were very fitting as a project manager too. I truly felt that I wanted to continue working with them!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"285aaf68-6781-466c-af90-ccedb856719d\"><strong>Roboqlo:&nbsp;<\/strong><br>Thank you.

COVER Corporation, a company that has had many experiences, was able to point them out to me, which allowed me to focus on game development without worry.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>Also, the \u201cholo Indie\u201d team advised me that I had to be careful not to make expressions that were contrary to the intentions of the talents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"dd73fdb9-8e6e-4be5-b1d8-0f0dc12e52b7\"><strong>\u2014\u2014Because of the consideration towards the talents at hololive, the fans were able to enjoy the game!

I was very happy about the positive feedback about the important parts and that my intentions had reached the audience. There was also lots of feedback for improvement, I also realized foundational ideas for game-making, and gives me the confidence to say that I will definitely make more interesting games in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"9088889f-deb1-4850-bf88-b3616b631609\">With these experiences, I decided to make game-making my specialty!<br>Although I am still at the starting line as a creator, I feel that I was given the opportunity to have the best start.&nbsp;<br>On top of that, as a fellow hololive fan, I want to keep the spirit of this community constantly fired up.
