What changed in the hollow

Changelog

v0.0.1-alpha

7 September 2026

The first playable alpha of Lantern Hollow. Keep the fire lit — how long will you survive?

What's in

  • The core loop: chop trees by day, gather stone, apples and mushrooms, and haul it all back to camp
  • The campfire: light it, feed it logs, and upgrade it from bare logs to a ring of stones and beyond
  • Gloomlings that gather at the edge of the light when night falls
  • Crafting at the workbench — tools, torches, fences and fire upgrades
  • Day/night cycle with saves at every dawn; three world slots, permadeath
  • Player editor and gamepad support

Builds

  • Windows (x64 and ARM) — installer .exe
  • macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) — .dmg
  • Android — debug-signed .apk, enable "install from unknown sources"

Linux and iOS builds will join a future release.

This is an alpha: expect rough edges, and please report anything strange.
