Greetings! This is the Holoearth Management Team. On September 30th a new boss monster, "Huge Toxic Slime," will be added to the Simulation Room. This boss is more dangerous than the first, so ample preparations will be necessary! Date & time: September 30th at 15:00 (JST) *Schedule is subject to change How to summon: A special item obtainable in the Simulation Room will be necessary to make the “Huge Toxic Slime” boss appear. Boss Reward Slime Hat A reward for those who have defeated a powerful slime. This fashion item can be worn even outside of the Simulation Room.

For users who have encountered such issues, please contact us using the Holoearth contact form in-app or on the homepage so that we can reset the play data in the simulation room if you deem it necessary.

Contents  Recap Since the Previous Letter  Looking Forward "Alternative City" Area  Avatar Customization Sandbox Game (Simulation Room) My Space New Area & Minigame Recap Since the Previous Letter Hello everyone, this is Holoearth Producer Oooka. Four months have passed since the last producer letter at the end of April, and over the summer we released three updates - ver. 0.7.0, ver. 0.8.0, and ver. 0.9.0 - in which Holoearth has changed quite a bit. In this producer letter I would like to recap what has been achieved since the previous letter, and then discuss the plans for September until around the end of the year. Ver. 0.7.0 From ver. 0.7.0 we added the fashion shop as well as the salon and clinic for players to fully customize their avatars to their liking. We have thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone express their creativity and fashion sense with their outfits, and we will continue to update and deepen the avatar options for everyone to continue further customizing their own unique style. Please look forward to it! Ver. 0.8.0 Sandbox Game (Simulation Room) With ver. 0.8.0 came an expansion of the Simulation Room, with a greater variety of gameplay including combat mechanics. While the game was made more difficult, we have been happy to watch the ingenuity with which players have approached building and spending time in the newly expanded area. Based on user feedback, we are continuing to add more features in future updates for a greater scope of gameplay. Ver. 0.9.0 Transportation Most recently we released the ver. 0.9.0 update, which included the first implementation of transportation items for greater ease of moving around the city area. The transportation items have been more popular than expected, and it is great to see players treat them not only as a means of getting around, but as a riding experience in it of itself. We hope to keep this in mind as we consider adding a greater variety of transportation options. The construction of the city area and its buildings is also coming along more and more, and as of ver. 0.9.0 some new buildings were completed and are being prepared to house new stores and tenants. We continue to add more finer details and elements to the scenery of the city itself and make it feel more lively, including vehicles and billboards.  My Space A new area, “My Space,” was also added with the ver. 0.9.0 update. This area is similar to the Simulation Room but without combat mechanics. Currently the area is very similar to the Simulation Room, however, in future updates we plan to add more unique gameplay elements to this area to further differentiate it. Looking Forward And now for Holoearth’s future outlook for the rest of the year. "Alternative City" Area Ver. 0.10.0 - Ver. 0.11.0 Two major additions to the fashion shop are planned: ・A feature for trying on items. ・A shopping cart feature. Avatar Customization New avatar items, customization options, and gestures will be added incrementally. In addition, new accessory categories are planned. Sandbox Game (Simulation Room) Ver. 0.10.0 We plan to implement a boss battle playtest. Special furniture and clothing items will be offered as rewards for defeating the boss monster. Certain items rewarded will be usable even outside of the Simulation Room. Early 2025 and Beyond We are planning to trial an open area separate from the Simulation Room. My Space Around fall We plan to implement a feature that allows players to exchange items obtained outside of My Space with items and item recipes (engrams) in My Space. New Area & Minigame Around fall A new minigame will be available to playtest in a newly added time-limited area. That wraps up the current outlook for upcoming updates. Until around the end of 2024, the core development focus is primarily to improve the avatar system, add fashion items, improve the game feel of various features, and expand the scope of the gameplay experience. We are also working on other major features with a view to the future release of version 1.0 that we hope to be able to discuss as soon as we can. Thank you, and we appreciate your continued support of Holoearth.

The size of the Simulation Room area will be expanded, and features such as monsters, combat mechanics, a day-night cycle, and more survival elements such as hunger and thirst will be added. Each update is outlined below. Simulation Room Area Expansion The Simulation Room area will be expanded. The expanded area will offer a greater survival experience. Day/Night Cycle It will now become night in the Simulation Room. At night it will become extremely dark, requiring the use of items such as campfires and handheld torches to light the area. Battling Monsters Monsters will now inhabit the Simulation Room, which can be defeated to obtain food items and other materials. Some of these monsters are dangerous, so pathfinders will require weapons and armor to face. Survival Elements Pathfinders will need to fill their stomachs and quench their thirst with food dropped by the animals and plants in the area. When pathfinders are hungry or thirsty, their speed and stamina recharge will be hampered. Thrown Items Pathfinders will be able to wield many items as weapons by throwing them, which may have different effects depending on the item used – so give it a try! "Observation" System ▲ProtectCube By cutting trees, breaking rocks, gathering resources, and battling monsters, pathfinders will acquire “Observation Data.” This data is exchanged at the “ProtectCube” in the middle of the area. In addition, by placing “Observation Beacons” pathfinders can expand the observation area and increase the amount of data they acquire. ▲Observation Beacon Avatar Leveling and Unlocking Recipes Pathfinders will level up in the Simulation Room, allowing them to craft more new items. Recipes can be unlocked by exchanging recipe points gained from leveling. *Pathfinders can level up through exp gained by activities such as gathering, defeating monsters, and crafting. Avatar Outfits in the Simulation Room It will now be possible for players to wear the avatar clothing items they purchase in the Simulation Room. Outfits are only aesthetic and will not affect the player's status. Over 200 Items Including Equipment, Furniture, and Building Materials Over 200 new items including equipment, furniture, structures, and new building materials such as stone and iron will be added. Enjoy building whatever you want with these new items and materials. Precautions With the ver. 0.8.0 update, current Simulation Room data will be reset.

The stock status for each item will change as follows based on the quantity remaining: ・80％ or more　→　Stock status: packed ・Between 30％ and 80％　→　Stock status: sufficient ・Between 10％ and 30％　→　Stock status: limited ・Less than 10％　→　Stock status: almost gone ・0 stock　→　SOLD OUT Sold out items may be restocked. Please note that multiples of the same item can be purchased more than once. In the future we are considering adding features that will offer more uses for avatar items, such as housing decoration or or trade. But as of this update, players will only be able to equip one of the same avatar item at a time, regardless of how many are held. In addition, later we are planning to assign lot numbers and serial numbers to purchased avatar items. Lot numbers become sold out when inventory is added and are updated when item inventory stock is replenished. Stock added at the same time will share the same lot number. The lower the value of the lot number, the earlier the lot was sold after being added. Serial numbers are assigned by item type and are in the order of which items are purchased from the shop. The serial number increases as the item is purchased by players at the fashion shop; the serial number will also increment if the same player makes repeat purchases of the item. So, the lower the number, the earlier the item was sold at the shop. We will announce the relevant details along the update for this feature. *As the lot number and serial number feature is under development, the implemented version may differ in some ways from what is explained here. ALT BEAUTYS ALT BEAUTYS will open behind the main central building of the city. ALT BEAUTYS has both a styling salon and a clinic. Avatars can be customized or rebuilt at these facilities. *Customizing avatars will require "ALT BEAUTYS Points" and "RebuildCores" that are part of the ver. 0.7.0 update. Styling Salon https://holoearth.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/サロン髪型変更_3.mp4 At ALT STYLE players can exchange ALT BEAUTYS Points to edit their avatar's eyes, makeup, hair, and other face features. Additionally, at ALT STYLE specifically the bangs, sides, and back of the avatar's hairstyle will be separately customizable. Clinic At ALT CLINIC players can exchange ALT BEAUTYS Points to customize their avatar's body and other features. Additionally, players can exchange RebuildCores to completely remake their avatar including all of its options. ALT BEAUTYS Points From this version "ALT BEAUTYS Points" will be introduced as a new item used for avatar customization. As an opening campaign the staff NPCs at ALT BEAUTYS will be giving points to players up to the 20,000 points limit once per day. Campaign Start: From the ver. 0.7.0 update on May 16th (Thur), 2024 *The campaign end date will be announced later. RebuildCores From this version "RebuildCores" will be introduced as a new item for remaking player avatars. Upon logging in after the update players will be given two cores. In addition, players can receive a RebuildCore from the staff NPCs at ALT BEAUTYS each day. Players can hold up to two regular RebuildCores at a time. *RebuildCores will also be purchasable with HoloCoins. Campaign Start: From the ver. 0.7.0 update on May 16th (Thur), 2024 *The campaign end date will be announced later.

Hello everyone, This is the Holoearth producer, Oooka. Spring is finally upon us! Today I would like to take the opportunity to talk about our efforts with Holoearth, and what is planned for 2024. First of all, allow me to touch on the avatar creation system and simulation room test versions implemented at the end of last year. Despite being test versions with simplified features, more people have played the current test version than we initially imagined. We truly appreciate all those who have participated in the playtest so far. We are emboldened by the great amount of feedback we have received. The development team is carefully considering the feedback and suggestions with a view to making improvements and refinements. This is in addition to what we are already working on, so please have patience while feedback is incorporated. The video streaming feature that was tested during the New Year's period as well as during hololive EXPO last month went well, and again thank you to all who participated in the video streaming tests. These were restricted to simple video streaming for testing purposes, but thanks to this we were able to confirm a stable streaming feature and are thinking of interesting ways to utilize this system along with other features in the future. Again, more people than expected joined us to test this feature. While it is currently a relatively simple streaming feature, we would consider continuing to implement it if there are enough requests. That is all for recap, and now for the main topic: Holoearth development moving forward. About Upcoming Updates First of all, allow me to apologize to all for the delay that we announced for the version 0.7.0 update that was planned for April. While this news comes just before the update was expected, we made the decision to delay with a focus on ensuring the quality and feature stability is up to our standards, in order to provide the best avatar creation and customization experience that we can. We appreciate your understanding and patience. The upcoming version 0.7.0 update is planned for May and is intended as the first step in further developing the lifestyle experience of Alternative City. In order to enjoy the continued growth and development of the city area and its attractions, we hope you view the area as the "current version" of Alternative City. We are also planning the following update, version 0.8.0, for June this year. Version 0.8.0 will expand upon the sandbox game playtest environment, including enemies and combat mechanics as well as some more survival mechanics. From this point, the simulation room game cycle will evolve from a simple crafting game into a more complex survival and crafting game. While I cannot say exactly when at this time, following the version 0.8.0 update, after various feature additions and adjustments the sandbox gameplay field is planned to be expanded into an open world experience. At that point at last pathfinders will delve into the land of Holoearth - which pathfinders can prepare for by viewing the expanded simulation room as a training experience. A version 0.9.0 update is also being planned for summer this year, so we will announce information as the date comes closer. Outlook for the Rest of 2024 and Beyond Until now Holoearth has been presented as three core pillars of content: ・Avatar creation system ・Sandbox game ・Lobby and now Alternative City As the basis for Holoearth these three core systems are expected to be largely complete during 2024. These core systems are designed for further development and expansion in the future. Even after the release of these systems, we will continue to dynamically add and expand features while monitoring the stability of the core systems. Specifically, in addition to these three core systems we are planning to release until now undisclosed features that we have been working on, of which are four large items: ・One is game contents other than the sandbox game ・Another is a space that will act as the player's own private area And two more features that we will be ready to announce at a later time. We initially discussed planning an official Holoearth release in 2024. However, with a view to the long term and dynamically adding more functionality while also planning to continue to trial a number of new features, we ended up having much deliberation with regard to exactly how to define the end of beta and the start of official release. In light of this, from 2024 we have decided not to go with an official release version and instead to maintain the development version (β) as we update. The driver for our decision on this matter is that we would like to view this as a continued development phase and express our stance as having a bold and ambitious style of development in a transparent manner. However, this does not mean we are doing away with defined updates and milestones. To this end, we are looking toward releasing a version 1.0.0 update (*similar to what is typically considered an official release) as a key milestone celebration once the core content has come together. At the current moment in April, 2024, we are aiming for this version 1.0.0 to be ready in spring of 2025 and making the necessary adjustments and development efforts. With version 1.0.0 in mind, I think it will offer a clearer picture of Holoearth as a whole as well as the features currently being developed - so we hope you are looking forward to it. To wrap up, while version 1.0.0 will be the critical milestone, from the version 0.7.0 release in May we plan to continue releasing partial play content, avatar customization options, and other features at a quality equivalent to a fully released service. I think everyone will be able to have plenty of fun during the year. On that note, we will continue to add more features and content, and bring the growing, anime-style virtual world of Holoearth to life. All of us on the development team are exceedingly grateful for your continued support.   April, 2024 Yuuki Oooka, Producer, Holoearth

Minimum System Requirements During Playtest With the implementation of the avatar system, sandbox simulation area, and other features, there is a possibility for increased loads on processing capacity of users' PCs in some areas of the game. In this case, gameplay may become unstable even for PCs that have the minimum system requirements, and we recommend closing unneeded apps while running Holoearth to free up processing capacity. We will continue to optimize and improve game performance in the future, but please be aware of possible stability issues during the playtest period. Please check the Download page for information on system requirements. https://holoearth.com/en/beta/ *Minimum system requirements and recommended system requirements may be subject to change in future updates. *Update contents and schedule are subject to change depending on development status.

This is the Holoearth Management Team. We greatly appreciate everyone who attended the Protolive #2 ~Yamato Phantasia~ concert. Thank you once again to all who participated in the event. We would like to inform everyone about the technical issues that occurred during the Yamato Phantasia performance and our response. Why the number of attendees to the stage area was restricted Although the app login and network communication in the venue area were working as normal, the load on the API for fetching information on event-related items from the server far exceeded expectations. Due to the increased load due to people entering the stage area, the number of events that caused this error increased. As a result we took measures to restrict the number of entrants to the venue. We apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the show but could not enter the venue. We are currently working on a solution to this problem, and plan to take further measures against server load issues. At the same time, we will also review the quality assurance procedures performed during the verification of new releases, and will establish a more rigorous release verification system. In addition, in response to this incident, we are considering holding a replay of Yamato Phantasia after taking measures to allow more users to enter. Details of the replay being considered For a replay of Yamato Phantasia, we are looking into reopening the event area and showing the performance again. Contents under consideration: ・ Reopening of the Kyo-no-Miyako area ・ Replay of the performance with archive footage * Further details and schedule will be announced at a later time. * Currently, after verifying and improving functionality, we are considering whether it is possible to hold a complete event replay. This is under consideration; as a result, it may be replayed with some changes, so we ask for your understanding in advance. For those who purchased event items and were unable to participate Contents under consideration: ・For items with an expiration date, such as Holo Lite Blade, the usage period and effect activation period will be extended according to the schedule of the replay. ・The lanterns purchased will be carried over to the replay event area. *For further questions not pertaining to above please use the Contact Us page in-app. 500 regular Holocoins will be distributed to users as a thank you for participating in Yamato Phantasia Although some issues remain, the takeaways from this event were a sufficient verification for the platform as a benchmark for next-generation virtual event experiences, which was the primary purpose of this event. As a thank you for your understanding, we will send 500 Holocoins (regular) to all users who have logged in to Holoearth by the end of the original event period ending at 15:59 on July 21st (JST). Thank you for your patience. The event area for Protolive #2 ~Yamato Phantasia~ has been open for a while now, and we hope you will continue to enjoy it. Thank you for your continued support of Holoearth.

About the Metaverse Project Holoearth This project envisions a metaverse of virtual content possibilities, all set in the alternate universe of Holoearth. About the Verification Test For this test we will use the prototype version of the communication lobby – the portal into Holoearth – to test and verify both the current functionality and server loads. Since the main purpose of this test is verifying server loads, the in-app functions and visuals do not necessarily reflect those of the final planned release version. In this test version of the communication lobby, participants are able to control a test avatar, move around the lobby, and communicate with other participants using emotes and text chat. The results of this test will be used for continued development for future in-app functions and events held in the Lobby. Verification Test Period The test will run from March 14th, 2022, until March 25th, 2022. How to Launch Holoearth Download the zip file from the test version download button at the top of this page.
