Lantern Hollow is now The Hollow Moors
The game has a new name. It has always been set on the Hollow Moors, and now it's called that too. Your worlds, your account and your purchase all carry over, and the old address still works.

Alpha v0.0.37: the moor, relit, and the beta is a few weeks away
The biggest build yet. A sun that crosses the sky and throws real shadows, four graphics levels up to Maxed out, rolling hills, a moor full of life, and the fern and moss of a proper autumn. And the beta is a few weeks off, with online multiplayer coming with it.

Alpha v0.0.32: Halloween to the millennium, and an abbey with floors
Every new world now starts on Halloween 1999, with sixty-two nights to the millennium and November nights of its own. The hall past the bog is a ruined abbey you can climb, four storeys of it. And since v0.0.29: farming, fishing, a stew pot and a camp that looks after itself.

Alpha v0.0.27: every world is December 1999
Every world now starts on 1 December 1999 and counts down to a Millennium Bug finale, with event nights on the way. The old railway has a story and a train, runs pay out arcade tokens for starting kits, there is a sticker album and mixtapes to find, and the music is made by the game as you play.

Twenty-four builds, and everything I sized by eye
A devlog rather than a release note: two views because half the house wanted a camera they could turn, an update path I should have built on day one, a moor where every creature and hill was the wrong size, and the rig that made a wardrobe possible.

Alpha v0.0.22: dress your wanderer
Appearance is a proper screen now, with eight haircuts and a wardrobe of mid-nineties clothes, some of it earned by surviving. Going down with friends around is no longer the end of the night, and the game is on TestFlight, Google Play and Linux.

Alpha v0.0.14: the Hollow Moors, 1999
The biggest update yet: a bigger world on the Hollow Moors in 1999, with moorland, a western forest, marsh pools and an abandoned railway station. Longer days, busier nights, a stalker you can kill, and menus that fit every screen.

It is 1999 in the hollow
Alpha v0.0.10 puts a year on the game: ten finds from 1999 scattered through the woods, a bag to keep what you carry, a CRT filter to play it all on, and trees in 3D that finally look like a wood.
