- 10 New Card Upgrades! - 24 May 2025
Hey guys! 👋 Danny here with a bunch of new updates! The most important one is: 10 New Card Upgrades! 🃏🃏🃏 Some of these will allow you to regain health ❤️🩹 (you guys were asking for it quite vocally), while others will increase your damage 🗡️ output by 2x / 4x!!! Of course, nothing in this world is free, so you might have to deal with some nasty side effects 😰 Here’s a sneak peek of the new Cards: Save System improvements Apart from that, I improved the Saving System - a couple of you had problems with the game not saving sometimes (I’m guessing because anti-virus was checking the save file during the saving process). This should no longer be an issue! (If you encountered any issues with saving, please let me know and I will help you restore the savefile!) Balance changes and Bug fixes Additionally, I introduced some balance changes and fixed more pesky bugs. Hope you had a fanta…

- Devlog #8 - 3 March 2025
Dear players It's been another good month for Hollow Survivors. Flower Floor I've been working on a lot of things but the coolest one is the Flower Floor. I don't know why, but the image of this floor appeared in my mind when I just started working on the game a couple years ago. I never had the time to implement it, but now, finally, I brought it to life. Flower Floor is not anything spectacular, there are no fancy enemies in there or anything like that. It's a calm, mysterious place that may reveal itself to battle-worn Hunters. An oasis of peace amidst chaos. Here it is in all its beautiful glory: Azulon - The Scourge of the Skies Another boss fight is complete. This time, you'll be fighting Azulon - an old dragon guarding his crystal treasure - jumping on you from above and shooting fiery waves of projectiles. The way the waves are constructed makes it much harder to destroy with yo…

- New Enemies! - 20 May 2024
Hello Survivors! 👋 It’s been a while since you’ve heard from us but things got pretty dangerous so the information was delayed. Before we get to the scouts’ report we have an announcement to make. We’ve received a lot of feedback pointing out the lacking parts in the tutorial. Now we’re happy to tell you that revamping the tutorial has been finished. Hopefully, the new features added will make it cover every basic you need so you’ll no longer find it lacking content! 👍 With that being said, the scouts spotted new dangerous creatures roaming the tower. Here’s what we’ve managed to find out about them thus far: 🛡️ Minotaur Slow as it is, this monster can give even the strongest fighter a headache as its ability to block attacks with his shield is unparalleled. What’s more, his attacks are really powerful so you should do your best to avoid getting hit. 💪 It is one of the two new big m…

- UI Improvements - 8 April 2024
Hello Survivors! 👋 Welcome back to the barren lands of the hollows. Recently we’ve been introducing new weapons, floors, enemies and attacks with every single devlog. Today, we’d like to slow down and show you some of perhaps not as exciting but very important work which has been done to improve the quality of gameplay! Today we’ll take a quick look at the UI improvements! 💪 In pursuit of optimal visualization a new UI for the merchants has been introduced. The option menu UI has also been updated. With those changes we’re aiming to offer you a UI that's both clear and intuitive while being eye-pleasing at the same time. 👀 The cards have also received another visual change which adds a bit of a more exciting look to choosing your upgrades! 🃏 Last but not least, the well-known enemy: Skull King also received a visual upgrade. With his new crown now he looks like the real ruler of tho…
- New Floor- the Void! - 11 March 2024
Hello Hollows! 👋 Welcome back to the new devlog from the hollow lands. This month the developer discovered the entrance to the new floor- the Void so today we’d like to show you his discoveries! 🔍 1. New Enemy- Corrupted Totem 🗿 You guys got used to enemies with projectiles? Well, this one is different. Corrupted Totem uses the void to create an explosion right under your feet. Be careful and don't let them catch you off guard! This enemy can prove to be deadly in cooperation with other foes, forcing you to make moves you’d rather avoid! ☠️ 2. New Enemy- Ethereal Bull 🐂 "Okay, it'll probably run towards me then stop... no, it didn't stop, maybe now? WHEN DOES IT STOP?!" - This one is tough. Ethereal Bull is a relentless being that will chase you until you're defeated. It requires some skill to avoid it during the chaos of the fight, especially when projectiles fly your way and the g…

- New weapon - 18 December 2023
Hello Players! 👋 We’re happy to see you again. Today we’d like to continue a topic mentioned in the previous devlog- the Lava Floor 🌋 as well as introduce two new spells, a new weapon and an exciting feature which will tremendously impact your gameplay! Let’s take a look, shall we? 👀 Lava Floor In this hellish landscape only the strongest monsters shall survive. 💪 Therefore, it’s not surprising that enemies you’ll get to face on this floor will have considerably higher hp and more challenging attack patterns. ⚔️ To make defeating the monsters more satisfying we’ve introduced an improved AI which makes the enemies smarter. 🧠 Today, we’d like to introduce you to three enemies you’ll encounter on these lands. The first one shoots a barrage of bullets once every few seconds but is immobile. The second- giant skull 💀 will charge at the players and their considerable size makes them har…
