Hi all, I hope you've been enjoying the updates to Hollowbody since release. Since the game's release I have been focussing on improving technical aspects of Hollowbody and fixing various bugs based on community feedback. Over the past weeks I took some time to reflect on more general feedback, in particular taking note of game pacing and narrative aspects that didn't quite hit the mark for everyone. During this period of refection I looked back at my original design notes for Hollowbody and some of the aspects of the game that were cut due to time constraints and various other influences. There came a point in development where I had to really lock-in the game structure and focus on the core design work that would see Hollowbody through to release. Whilst I am very happy with how Hollowbody released and the fantastic reception it's received from players, there were some narrative threads missing from the game that contextualize Echo's place in the grand scheme of Hollowbody's story. This update looks to remedy that. Alongside some additional interactions and puzzle sections added to the later stages of the game I've been working on a larger optional puzzle that spans several locations, with the solution hopefully clearing up some confusion players had about the city's restoration efforts and subsequent downfall. Keep an eye out for new inventory items or changes in the environment.
