Hollow Announcement! (Full production)
🕑 Added 2022-11-07 19:06:10 +0000 UTCAs the title suggests, myself and Adam are extremely excited to announce that we will be continuing our adventure with Hollow and have already started work on its full production!
With over 3000 downloads (and that's just the ones we can track through Itch.io and MediaFire) we are thrilled to have nothing but positive feedback! 100% 5-star ratings on Itch and very kind comments in support of the game, we feel this story definitely has an audience and needs to be told.
We would like to personally thank each and every one of you that has liked, rated and commented on here, itch, Twitter and elsewhere. Without your support, projects like this can't blossom. So truly, thank you <3
So full production - what does that mean?
The demo was designed very deliberately in a way to show off the world, characters and the essence of the story being told. There are a lot of moving parts to Hollow, which are now being drafted into a narrative plan. The main plot is supported by several subplots surrounding the supporting cast - this is to ensure that the game feels rich and full of life.
Hollow will be FREE to play, with no early access. This means there is no Patreon Exclusive content. Any updates, promotional works, etc will be FREE.
What about New Hope?
New Hope will remain the backbone of Apollo Studios. As such, I'll be altering the tiers slightly in the coming days. But don't worry - New Hope is very much still in production and will not be side-lined for Hollow. Justin's story is only just getting started!
When will the first update for Hollow be out?
Now, I know some of you are eager beavers... but sit back and enjoy the journey! Hollow is in its very early stages, and as such don't expect a V0.1 update soon. We will be sharing teasers along the way, so it won't be radio silence... but how much we tease is dependent on you! The more likes, comments and shares on promotional posts, the more we can tease ;)
And finally...
We want to thank you one last time for playing Hollow and supporting its production. When hit the launch button, we thought we'd get a few plays, but nothing to the scale that you guys showed up in! As a thank you, you can download the promo image above without the text. It's a very cute desktop background that we're already using!
Thank you and all the love <3 Blayke & Adam
Oh shoot! We almost forgot! There's a new face in the promo image... Introducing Kai! Stay tuned for tomorrow when we'll be releasing his character bio.

Small side note: Given the challenges Gabe has in moving objects, there is a slight continuity error regarding the pillows (after he comes to the apartment). He spent a lot of enenergy moving that pillow into position so he could lay down, but when Ty comes in, the pillow vanishes and Gabe sits where it would be. It's only really noticable in three pics that it's not there [and not phasing through him either], those pics that actually show Gabe sitting without the armrest in the way. After that it reappears so Gabe can rest his head on the pillow. Further, after Nix gets his pastry and sits at the table, the head-pillow is again standing straight against the sofa backrest in the background (without anyone having moved it). Ty sits on the sofa a little while later, where it also is standing upright (but he might have moved it, so by that point the pillow position could genuinely be anything).
