The Founding of Hollowside

Hollowside was founded on January 31, 2026 - my fifteenth birthday. I wanted that day to represent more than another year of my life. I wanted it to mark the beginning of something meaningful. Because of my longstanding interest in technology, programming, and game development, I created Hollowside: a studio built around developing original technology and using it to create ambitious, memorable experiences. My hope is that the work produced by Hollowside will eventually inspire other young developers to begin creating ideas of their own. Whether that becomes a heartwarming story is something only time will determine. Inspiring others to pursue technology and creative development, however, has always been part of the goal.

My Source of Motivation

Much of my motivation comes from wanting to build a secure and fulfilling future for myself and the people I care about. The possibility that years of learning, programming, experimentation, and problem-solving could eventually create opportunities beyond anything I currently imagine is what keeps me moving forward. The encouragement of my friends and family has also played an important role. People such as Warrior, Hollowside’s co-founder and creative lead, continuously contribute ideas, offer support, and help keep the studio moving in the right direction. For me, the journey is not about proving that success is guaranteed. It is about remaining committed, continuing to improve, and discovering how far Hollowside can go.

My Personal Life

Outside of Hollowside, my life is relatively simple. I spend time with friends, work on programming projects, plan future games, study business possibilities, exercise, and play the games that inspire me. Much of my creative work happens during quiet evening hours, when I can concentrate on resolving bugs, improving performance, experimenting with new systems, and expanding existing projects. Although building a studio requires patience and persistence, I genuinely enjoy the process of seeing an idea gradually become functional. I care deeply about personal growth, my health, the future of the company, and the community developing around it. Listening to that community and creating experiences people can connect with are among the most rewarding parts of building Hollowside.

Hollowside has brought me a sense of purpose since the day it was founded. I continue to surprise myself with what the studio is capable of becoming, and as it grows, I hope every new member of its community feels warmly welcomed into the journey.
