Devlog #3

Hello

First, we want to thank everyone for your support and patience. We know our communication hasn’t been as frequent lately, and we apologize for that-we’ve been hard at work making Hollow Home the best it can be.

Heartfelt Thank You for 30,000 Wishlists!




We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that Hollow Home has now been added to over 30,000 wishlists on Steam!
This is a milestone we could only dream of when we started this journey, and it’s all thanks to you. Whether you’ve been with us since the very beginning or you’ve just discovered Hollow Home, we want to extend a warm welcome and a huge thank you for your support. Every wishlist, every comment, and every bit of feedback means the world to us. It’s your passion and enthusiasm that keeps us going, even on the toughest days.

Kickstarter Campaign Coming Soon




We have some exciting news to share as we’re currently working behind the scenes on a Kickstarter campaign for Hollow Home.
While we’re not quite ready to reveal all the details just yet, we wanted to give you a heads-up so you can be among the first to know when we launch. Following our campaign now and getting notified at launch will make a huge difference for us, helping Hollow Home reach a wider audience and giving us the momentum we need to make the game even better.
We can’t wait to share more with you soon!

Demo is back!


Once again, our demo is available for you to try! If you haven’t had a chance yet, now is the perfect time to experience a slice of what we’ve been building. For those of you who have already played the demo, we’ve made a number of improvements, such as UI/UX enhancements, updated animations, and a bunch of bug fixes.

We would love for you to explore the changes and let us know what you think.

A New Release Window: Looking Ahead to Next Year


We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting the release of Hollow Home this year, and we truly appreciate your patience and excitement.
After a lot of careful thought and discussion, we’ve made the difficult decision to move the release to next year. We want to be completely transparent with you as our vision for Hollow Home has grown, and we want to make sure we deliver the experience you deserve. Taking this extra time will allow us to polish every detail, add more content, and ensure that Hollow Home is as immersive and memorable as possible. We understand this might be disappointing, but we firmly believe it’s the right choice for the game and for our community.



Thank you for standing by us and for believing in Hollow Home. Your support inspires us every single day. We’re more excited than ever about what’s ahead, and we can’t wait to share more updates, sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes stories with you in the coming months.

Devlog #2

Hey everyone!

Welcome to our second devlog. Today, we want to share more behind-the-scenes content with you.

Location and Character spotlight!

Introducing new character concept, Fox Fin. Their character has experienced first-hand the consequences of war. A wound to the head that's bandaged up, and military outfit, strongly suggests their involvement in the defense of their home country.



Another new character is Kolia Shvets.   



Moving on to new locations, we would like to introduce three new places.

The Basement, where players will be able to take refuge and rest in between the stress and pressure of war. Providing a safe pit stop between the chaos going on upstairs, the basement can function in many different settings. As a shelter for people, kitchen, supply and food storage, or anything else that is currently necessary. We want to show you the area we took refuge in and slept in to protect ourselves ad our loved one from the chaos on the surface.



Another two places are the corridor and storage shed. We're not quite giving away where this corridor belongs, the church? Community Hall? That's for you to find out when you play our game.



The shed of course serves as a storage for the most important tools and items. Any supplies, spare parts, tools, metal scraps, it's all gathered there to help residents in their everyday tasks.



We hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes production insight into our work.

We hope to provide more new character and location concepts, so keep a close eye out on our social media.

Why don’t you come and say hello over on our Discord? And while you are at it, check out our socials for the latest updates!



We want to thank you for your continued support and hope to see you at future events.

See you soon, and stay tuned!
