Is this game still alive?

I have booted this game up after breaking my VR back out. I used to play this a lot but now any time I try to play any song I get "caching failed" messaged. Is this game still being supported?

Unfortunately, for the last almost two years, I didn't have the bandwidth to give it much support. I had been working on Holodance fulltime (actually, a lot more than fulltime, lol) from 2015 to 2021, and invested a significant amount of money into its production as well over that time but unfortunately wasn't able to bring it into economically sustainable territory.

So in early 2021, I started helping get Zenith: The Last City[zenithmmo.com] on PSVR and am currently finalizing the PS VR2 release. Apologies for not making a more formal announcement much earlier - it's been a very fast and intense transition (and originally was just a contract for a few months but then turned into as much a passion project for me as Holodance was, except now I get paid instead of spending all my savings to sustain it, lol).

You can still get beatmaps that are compatible with Holodance from https://osu.ppy.sh/home and https://bsaber.com/ (and a few other places), put them into the relevant songs folders in

C:\Users\<YourWindowsUserName>\AppData\LocalLow\narayana games\Holodance\GameData\Songs

(osu, BSMG, BSMG playlists), and play them from there. It's just the caching that apparently broke because some of the osu mirrors shut down.

If that path doesn't work for you, check Configuration.json in

<PathToSteam>\steamapps\common\Holodance

- this can be used to set up custom paths to your liking.

Thanks for the info, stinks that relevant mirrors aren't working, it's more fun just browsing and picking things to play on the fly. But I understand needing a make a living, best of luck!
