Hey all! Only a quick message from me, because today Adam is taking over and showcasing something he's been working on. As we mentioned before, Hollow content will always be free to access - so no need to adjust your tiers. Over to Adam ;D -Blayke <3
Hi y'all! (Yes it's Adam - I will eventually get Blayke saying y'all if he stays around me much longer)
Anyways, Happy New Year! We're excited to kick off 2023 with an entirely new content experience - Hollow Shorts!
(** Hollow Shorts has now been rebranded to MGUniverse to include a variety of stories from characters at Magnolia Grove University**)
Think of them like bonus scenes from a movie - larger cg sets that have narrative to go along with them! This gives us a chance to explore more of the world we're building by telling stories and showcasing character interactions that may not fit into the narrative for the main game.
I would say right now MOST of these stories can be considered canon - but we definitely may have some fun doing some "what if" or more fantasy style stuff down the road - we'll let you know if something is specifically non-canon. Our first short takes place after Tyler's first soccer practice of the season - except it's told from the perspective of Myles - a new transfer student at MGU. This was a really fun one to do because it gave us a chance to show an outsider's perspective on Ty and show off a bit of the MGU athletics vibe in the process.
Also I have some cool behind the scenes tidbits I'll be sharing later this week in my first ever Dev Log for Hollow, so keep an eye out for that! We hope everyone had an amazing holiday and are ready to follow along with us for what we hope is an exciting 2023 for all these characters.
Enjoy! -Adam
P.S. We'll be sharing the full size images for this set in the Apollo Studios discord if anyone wants to see them in all their glory - so if you haven't joined it's a great opportunity to come say hi and chat with us about your favorite characters! https://discord.gg/ywZfHDaN
