hollow timelapse & music
Hey there! Now that LD20 is submitted and done, and I’m busy trying out all your awesome games, here are some updates.
Short development cycles
First of all I’m already looking forward to the next LD, or mini LD. I really liked this style of making something small in a small amount of time. Most of my other projects have been much larger scale and much longer development time, which often can result in lack of motivation to complete the project. I’m also very impressed to see what everyone has come up with in such a short amount of time. I’ve tried some really great games so far and looking forward to trying more!
Music
Before the deadline for the jam I managed to put some music in my game too by landon podbielski, you should check it out! You can toggle the music on the ‘m’ key, incase you are playing for longer periods of time.
Beyond my Expectations
One thing I was very impressed with, is that some people played my game way beyond my own expectations, so much so that I had to add even more extra content to it. I’m also keeping a local highscore list in on the projects page just for fun, be sure to tell me if you want a place there.
Timelapse
Finally, I got to putting together the timelapse I made of the development of my entry ‘hollow’. Used that killed app that Keeyai made. (Thanks man!)
Finally
I’d really appreciate if you would try out my game and tell me what you think with comments and ratings, I’ll be sure to try out yours as well!
Your feedback is really worth a lot!

hollow complete (jam version)
Since I only had time for about 5 hours of coding for my compo entry, I didn’t get my game as complete as I wanted. I spent some more hours on it today and I’m much happier with the result for the jam entry, making the game feel much more complete.
This is my first entry to LD, and I’m really happy with what I could achieve for such a tight deadline. Would be awesome if you could check it out and rate it!
I did record a timelapse, so I might throw it together into a video later, it’s a heck of a lot of images though. Had it set to 1 per second.

Last minute coding
A few hours ago I didn’t have much of a game at all. I’ve been learning to sleep 2 hours per day for the last ten days and I’ve had lots to do. I had decided that I wasn’t going to enter in this LD. Then I decided, to hell with that, let’s see how much of a game I can crack out in the last three or so hours of the deadline. So here it is, I’m quite happy with the result tbh. Even though there are a few things that are missing for this to be a complete tiny game, I’m still happy with what I could produce this fast. It was really fun to make too, I will probably work more on it within the coming days to get everything working correctly.
Anyway, this was a great first LD entry for me, I hope you enjoy it! I look forward to testing out everyone elses games!
