Hollow - Chapter 4: Devlog Update (Public)
🕑 Added 2025-11-08 21:55:56 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
We’re here with Hollow’s first Devlog Update for Chapter 4. To kick things off, here’s a broad overview of what’s complete and what we’re currently working on.
Scene 1 - Complete
Scene 2 - Complete
Scene 3 - Complete
Scene 4 - Complete
Scene 5 - CG’s rendering
Scene 6 - Planned (needs drafting)
Scene 7 - Planned (needs drafting)
Scene 8 - Planned (needs drafting)
As you can see, we’re already more than halfway through the production. Although the script work began a while ago, production didn't start until after the most recent New Hope update, so we're actually making good time overall. To aid in that process, we're trying a different workflow where coding takes place alongside the sprite work and visuals. We're optimistic that it will reduce the workload on the backend and enable us to move into the testing phase more quickly than we have previously.
So what can you expect from Chapter 4?
We start with Nix and Gabe in the midst of searching for any info they can find about Gabe potentially being at MGU, but they aren’t having much luck. However, during a morning coffee bitch session, Gabe regains a fractured memory, which finally gives them a direction to head in.
Meanwhile, Ty is focused on winning Chase's affection and is determined to prove to him that he’s not the guy that Chase thinks he is.
What’s new?
We have a whole new range of sprites ready for Chapter 4! New outfits, and especially for Gabe, a more varied range of expressions. He should now feel much more animated and less stuck in the same few emotions.
The main menu page has also received new music. Specifically, a new title track called - Hollow. Written by yours truly, Hollow will now be the game’s overall theme, so we hope you like the song!
When will the release be?
Due to the varying nature of the different programs we work with, we won’t be able to provide a solid date at this time. That being said, we’re aiming for a November release.
