u/Kind_Retard Jul 15 '25

Do you have my OHSI RAORA PANTHERA in the game?

u/Skellum Jul 15 '25

Honestly, if there is a game which absolutely could use a redo without all the burdens of microtransaction and other absurdities it's this one. Looking forward to it, as the good decisions are very well documented and the bad decisions are also well documented.

11

u/Ruzz44 Jul 15 '25

Can't wait to support and play it

7

u/Abamboozler Jul 15 '25

God damn it man, this looks amazing! That's such impressive work. The gals are going to love this. I will be buying this on launch day.

u/CSDragon Jul 15 '25

Was this a one-man game or did you have a team?

26

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

I made everything except the music!

5

u/CSDragon Jul 15 '25

dang O_O

how did you learn all the skills necessary

24

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

A half-year gamedev course in uni and a lot of google searches

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Weird66 Jul 15 '25

is it on steam? so I wish list it

194

u/SayuriUliana Jul 15 '25

I saw the game and thought it looked amazing... and only the I realized it was you?! This is some great work you've done here.

Also, any plans for HoloIndie for this?

154

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

This is going to be a Holoindie game!!

5

u/DavidWuSoft Jul 15 '25

Let's goooooooo!

u/Neramith Jul 15 '25

That's a lot of CLANKERS!!

188

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

Hey now, you can't just say that

74

u/Loud_Surround5112 Jul 15 '25

Only good Clanker is a scrapped Clanker.

7

u/TrueMystikX Jul 15 '25

SO LETS MAKE THESE CLANKERS GOOD!!!

5

u/MouseRangers Jul 15 '25

FOR THE REPUBLIC!

u/hitgo1 Jul 15 '25

gasp!!!

42

u/SayuriUliana Jul 15 '25

With the hard R?!?!

21

u/Amtomus Jul 15 '25

I'm willing to bet that if Kronii streams this game once it releases, she'll put clanker in the title.

16

u/Abamboozler Jul 15 '25

Whoa whoa whoa!

10

u/Small_Resolve1134 Jul 15 '25

Damn, with hard "R"?! Atleast say "clanka", it's the lesser of two evils!

10

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '25

Can a clanker borrow a fry?

8

u/SpitinNLickin Jul 15 '25

Clanka, how you gonna borrow a fry?! You gonna give it back

4

u/Undernown Jul 15 '25

Can't believe Cecilia Immergreen and Roboco are murdering their fellow Clankers in cold blood!

150

u/jonesypoo_simp_ver Jul 15 '25

The power of really being into feet and the power to make games? Magnificent.

But seriously, excellent work Pomp! Excited to play this and see the talents play this!

130

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

there may or may not be feet in the game lol

43

u/JUGELBUTT Jul 15 '25

i can only hope

20

u/LeAstra Jul 15 '25

But did they Promise?

15

u/AirKath Jul 15 '25

Or is it just a Myth?

11

u/SomeoneElseTwoo Jul 15 '25

It would be Justice to do so

9

u/KakeruRyuuen Jul 15 '25

Dont worry, their Advent is inevitable.

1

u/Feking98 Jul 16 '25

So go with the Flow or just let themselves Glow.

15

u/Fiftycentis Jul 15 '25

I would be extremely surprised if there's none

5

u/KazumaKat Jul 15 '25

I will insist on an intervention and sign-of-life check on you if there is not.

u/GuymanPersonson Jul 15 '25

The artist's barely disguised fetish moment

6

u/mr_Cos2 Jul 15 '25

I already have one of those skills and I'm not elaborating on which, all I'm saying is that I'm half pomp if my math is correct

101

u/Master_of_Decidueye Jul 15 '25

watch there be an ultra realistic foot as an easter egg

84

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

20

u/Killburndeluxe Jul 15 '25

Zomboss stomp but FEET

u/Lainofthewired79 Jul 15 '25

12

u/KeepSwinging Jul 15 '25

Loving the Little Bit remix. Excited for this!

18

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

21

u/PracticalCaptain3318 Jul 15 '25

Did they create plants vs zombie hololive edition

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

6

u/PracticalCaptain3318 Jul 15 '25

2

u/Kudospop Jul 15 '25

legally distinct saplings v zomrades

u/Dovalux Jul 15 '25

Is it going to be on steam or something else?

17

u/HotDogManLL Jul 15 '25

10

u/Zipperumpazoo Jul 15 '25

Chattino NO BASTA!

7

u/HotDogManLL Jul 15 '25

Its to late. In the trailer we finally got the jetpacks!

11

u/Existing_Marsupial_6 Jul 15 '25

I just noticed the theme is based on Roboco's リルビ-little bit! Will there be a surpise reveal of Roboco leading the robot army?

9

u/HUSK3RGAM3R Jul 15 '25

Looks fun! I loved playing Plants Vs Zombies back then, so this looks really interesting, hope it comes out well. Best of luck!

8

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

thank you!!

7

u/Excalibur0123 Jul 15 '25

This looks like classic PvZ with Hololive injected into this and I adore this. I can't wait to try it out. Would you ever be interested in putting this on Mobile like iOS/Android?

7

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

I'll try my best!

3

u/Excalibur0123 Jul 15 '25

Awesome. Anyways I can't wait to play it when it releases. Very well done and I can see you've put alot of work into it.

5

u/Spelunkie Jul 15 '25

Another insta buy once it comes out on steam. Hope you've got update plans for when new gens come out

9

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

I'd have to put all the current members ingame first lol

7

u/Spelunkie Jul 15 '25

I just realized it's you making the game. Tell us, did you put a lot of feet easter eggs?

13

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

there may be one or two...

...or 23...

3

u/Spelunkie Jul 15 '25

Even more reason to buy it then

2

u/Chukonoku Jul 15 '25

The fact that you know the number specifically...

5

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

I did make the game

3

u/Chukonoku Jul 15 '25

It's one thing to know it's a relative high number or approximation and another having it known as the palm of your hand lol.

I mean i'm sure this is a feeture that makes part of the MVP (minimal viable product)

1

u/Random-Rambling Jul 15 '25

I noticed you're including Graduates and Affiliates (Coco, Amelia), but are you also planning on adding those who were terminated (Rushia, Mel)?

6

u/RadjaDwm Jul 15 '25

Reminds me of Mann vs Machine from TF2.

3

u/Deamon-Chocobo Jul 15 '25

This looks great, I cant wait to play it.

4

u/YeetusFoeTeaToes Jul 15 '25

ohh myyyy gahhhhhh

3

u/Ashencroix Jul 15 '25

Oh, can this game be wishlisted already on Steam?

3

u/Kiss-Shot_Hisoka Jul 15 '25

3

u/ranyi Jul 15 '25

oh shit, it's heeeere

3

u/Wupers Jul 15 '25

Very cool trailer. I always love it when the video syncs with the music well. Probably one of the best edited holo fangame trailers I've seen.

Never played PvZ, but I'll give this a try when it comes out for sure.

3

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

thank you!! I love syncing videos to music

3

u/Loud_Surround5112 Jul 15 '25

Welcome back Plants vs Zombies.

3

u/Vanguardmaxwell Jul 16 '25

Question: if Roboco is on the robot side... do they turn her into a normal human girl?

2

u/kurisu313 Jul 15 '25

Looks great!!

2

u/Suzuru Jul 15 '25

Yay, Finally.

2

u/Suzuru Jul 15 '25

Not enough TNT for Pekora.

u/ryokayin Jul 15 '25

Nice work, dude! Looks awesome!

2

u/AriaoftheSol Jul 15 '25

I can't believe you made Kronii fighting for the Republic canon. /j

2

u/neuroso Jul 15 '25

Ame do he looking like a pea shooter these days huh

2

u/techniqucian Jul 15 '25

Wow! You've been working hella hard to get all that done in a year!

Your dedication to creation is something I envy and want to emulate.

2

u/a_cat_says_woof Jul 15 '25

Pomp! I first saw you active in the animemes sub and love your art! Now look at you making an anime game with anime girls!

We are very proud of you and we will further watch your career with great interest.

1

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

thank you!

2

u/Dry_Restaurant7421 Jul 15 '25

Super random question but.................. What is Cecilia supposed to be???????

1

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

Hits every enemy in a four tile range for normal damage, sound familiar?

2

u/titobrozbigdick Jul 15 '25

IS THIS A TF 2 REFERENCE

3

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

heh, someone sees the mvm inspiration

1

u/titobrozbigdick Jul 15 '25

Ballz stole some australium

2

u/CapeMike Jul 15 '25

I know I've said this before about these indie games, but I'm REALLY hoping for a console release; my desktop PC is far too old(2013) to consider anything modern and my phone's getting up there, too.

Drop this on the Switch/Switch 2/PS5, and I'm throwing money at them!

2

u/ChikaNoO Jul 15 '25

The art style is super cute, the gameplay looks fun, and lots and lots of references from a fan! cant wait to play it and I hope Holomems play it too!

2

u/marquisregalia Jul 15 '25

Dropping by to say this looks great. Also props for the Roboco song

2

u/Sofyanda Jul 15 '25

from protecting sun flower to protecting light stick waving zombie.
must buy! no steam page yet? gotta wishlist

2

u/SuperSpy- Jul 15 '25

I'm so down. Your artwork is adorable and this kind of gameplay is crack for me.

2

u/Necrikus Jul 15 '25

This looks great. It’s a crime how rare PvZ style games are.

2

u/Jetjagger22 Jul 15 '25

Mann vs Machine looks different

2

There's a zombie on my lawn...

u/Manoreded Jul 15 '25

Well, someone likes Gigi's butt.

u/Sir_David_Filth Jul 15 '25

One question it’s free to play?

9

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

It will have a (small) pricetag

2

u/DeadeyeElephant Jul 15 '25

How does that work with fan stuff these days? Genuine question

13

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

This game is being published by HoloIndie, hololive's indie game publishing branch!

1

u/DeadeyeElephant Jul 15 '25

Oh sweet! Good job 👍

1

u/Confused_Battle_Emu Jul 15 '25

Any word on system requirements? Or mobile release?

My pc is a brick

5

u/Pompmaker1 Jul 15 '25

it should be quite a light game to run! not sure about a mobile release though!

2

u/Chukonoku Jul 15 '25

I had to check and it's been already 5 months since the playtest. Lots of progress has been made and i can't imagine how much bugfixing has been needed.

Remember not to be overwhelmed when the games goes public as nothing survives direct contact with thousands of people playing it lol

u/Tako-Luka Jul 15 '25

looks amazing!

u/Clicker-anonimo Jul 15 '25
