>>42892195>Also if the dev decides to add Stars-related items and unlocks, then it becomes a massive headache to balance if you purposefully add a mode or toggle that excludes them.If the dev doesn't add stars related items, it will look bad on the dev since every character so far has an item related to them in the game, even if the stars became playable characters.
If I was the dev, I would either work on a way to make the game modularised by branches (which will be a pain from the game design pov), or just bite the bullet and either add the stars in only to see half of hololive stop playing it, or backtrack and just not add the stars to the current game.
Another solution will be to make a parallel game of holocure called starscure or something.
I just don't see a good way out for the dev, but honestly this problem will only arise after they have done implementing all of hololive so far.
