The Yai Gameworks 2020 Questionnaire Survey Form: Out of all the annual Questionnaire forms I've done, this 2020 one is the most important one so far. During 2020 and leading into early 2021, I have a sorta' time limit to get to a certain financial point in order to pursue game development full time. So I'm going to be trying my damndest during the next 15 months or so to get games out there an…
I have a lot going on the hood and trying to get better how I handle announcements and releases, but I can confidently say (unless the game gets held up in Steam's review process) I'll be releasing Dusk Golem's Anthology of Horror on October 30th for $5.99 USD. It is a collection of three playable short horror stories, "Girl's Graveyard Mystery," "I Haunt this Place" and "Wail of Despair. More…
The Miserable Crimson Hooded Girl Steam Store Page is now properly up. Those who follow me on YouTube or are part of the official Yai Gameworks Discord may have seen me working some on this and talking about it during the last few weeks. This was previously the Close Your Eyes Intermission/2: Glass Vedalia page, but I decided to give it it's own page later as it's not a focus right now and prob…
I very much appreciate if people fill out this Google Doc form, it will be running from February 13th to the 18th and involves a number of questions who's answers I'll be collecting for data for the future. Red Haze will be receiving a small update on February 28th, and several other smaller updates at the last day of every month up until the Big Content Update hits. Blossoming Yandere will rel…
Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- is now out in Steam Early Access for $4.99 USD with a 10% launch discount (this will be the cheapest the game will be in at the very least the next two years, the game will gradually raise in price as more is added to the game). At Early Access launch, I am actively seeking back feedback and going to work closely with the community to shape up the game. At E…
It just released for $3.99 USD (with a 5% off discount on release, and an additional 5% off if you buy it off of the Yai Gameworks Complete Bundles). It's an episodic game of sorts using community involvement, Game 2 will unlock when players find the Red Circle, Blue Triangle, and Yellow Square in Game 1, but the earliest Game 2 will release will be next Monday, as one of my closest friends com…
I've released a 320-song Album for music from all of my games over the last 5-years. The full album of 320 songs is available there in the link above if you click it, music from my last 5 years of game making. Can listen to it freely, though I do highly appreciate support if you decide to buy the whole album for $8 USD (or can buy individual songs for $0.50 USD). This album is a collection of t…
I have been working so hard to be able to pull this off, but finally I think I can fully announce the line-up of games that Yai Gameworks will be releasing between the end of July and the end of November 2018. I have been working really hard since the year began, juggling a lot of projects, and there's still more to finish and juggle after this, but finally far enough along to announce this pro…
Yai Gameworks Steam Developer Page is now live! You can follow the page to receive notifications when we release new games, plus is the new developer page for us on Steam so shows a lot of what we're up to actively (which frankly, is a lot. Despite delays, things are coming along nicely). Today also marks the beginning of the 2018 Steam Summer Sale! All of Yai Gameworks' catalog of games will b…
The game will be releasing in Early Access (but including the full remakes of Close Your Eyes and Girl's Graveyard on release with more game modes added over time) on August 31st, 2018 for $4.99 USD. There's many more surprises in this remake than what I show as well... Hope you guys enjoy it.
A slow-burn quiet surreal horror game that's a semi-sequel and spin-off of Close Your Eyes, which combines the previously announced "Close Your Eyes: Intermission" and "The Crack I Found That Taketh" into one singular game, mixing together fixed camera angles and 2.5D gameplay. There will be a lot more on this game in the days and weeks to come. It's releasing on May 21st 100% for $3.99 USD, wi…
The DLC includes a small little expansion to the main game that should add 30-120 minutes to your second playthrough (New Game+ stuff only appear once you've completed the main game once), as well as the Soundtrack for Close Me. It comes together in one package for $0.99, with a 5% discount on launch (and a 10% discount if bought through the Yai Gameworks Complete Bundle). I hope you all enjoy~
I thank you all who participated in the Yai Gameworks 2018 Questionnaire survey a couple months back. As many are probably aware of I am a man of many ideas, and indeed probably too many. I release 2-3 games a year but dates get pushed back, some are left idling for months to years before they eventually release. I won’t promise this won’t change, but as a solid effort applying some strategies…
Thanks to the wonderful feedback on the Yai Gameworks 2018 Questionnaire and some wonderful occurrences that happened towards the end of 2017, I'm here to announce a finalized date for the release of the early access for Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake-. The early access version of the game will release on January 24th, 2017 for the price of $4.99, though with a 5% discount for the first we…
Very important, I have a 10-question Questionnaire for Yai Gameworks in 2018 which includes some future stuff about projects. The questions are long-winded, but I really appreciate your guy's feedback. Questionnaire will end on January 8th: Has questions related to Close Your Eyes, Red Haze, and much, much, MUCH more.
Today, August 31st of 2017, is the 2-year anniversary of the freeware Steam release of Close Your Eyes! The Redux version and original Ludum Dare versions are older than that (the Ludum Dare game turns 4-years old next April), but for the occasion I decided to push a full remake to release between September 25th - 29th, which will cost $4.99 USD. The Remake has a plethora of new content, includ…
Just released a small little experimental game of mine onto Steam called "Close Me", for $0.99 USD. Hope you guys enjoy it. There's also a complete Yai Gameworks Bundle now available:
There's several games that will release in the next year, starting with Close Me releasing on August 7th-15th for $0.99 USD, it's a small experimental game. Other things on the table to release before the year is up are Close Your Eyes: Intermission, Blank Slate Remake, and the updates for Twisted Puzzle and Red Haze. There may be one or two other things that release before the year is up if th…
Close Your Eyes: Intermission Steam Page is now live! More news coming soon. There is also now an official Yai Gameworks Discord, for discussion, news, sharing, and more you can join here (make a post in introductions to be approved and see the rest of the public discussions, but read the rules and follow them): Hope you guys are having a good summer!
The free DLC for the already free Close Your Eyes is now out! It's a little short horror experience made as a teaser for Close Your Eyes: Intermission, so hope you guys enjoy! Notice there will be a patch releasing tomorrow to add in the last ending, but I doubt you guys will have found that ending by the time I release the patch and it'll carry over from save files which made today already. Ho…
Close Your Eyes: The Twisted Puzzle is a free piece of DLC for Close Your Eyes that takes place after the events of the original game, and before the events of Close Your Eyes: Intermission & Close Your Eyes 2. The Twisted Puzzle is a short experience that will be releasing again for free somewhere between May 26th - May 31st. I'd also appreciate if you haven't already to vote for Close Your Ey…
Close Your Eyes: The Twisted Puzzle is a free piece of DLC for Close Your Eyes that takes place after the events of the original game, and before the events of Close Your Eyes: Intermission & Close Your Eyes 2. The Twisted Puzzle is a short experience that will be releasing again for free next week if all works out. I hope you all enjoy this little teaser. I'd also appreciate if you haven't alr…
Firstly, I'm still trying to get Close Your Eyes: Intermission through Steam Greenlight. I'd appreciate if you'd consider voting for it at the link above, if it gets greenlit in time and if testing goes well I'll be releasing this in late May/June. Secondly, the Chanting Piece:
Want to keep most of the game a surprise, but figured the Greenlight page could do with a bit more gameplay. Can find the Greenlight page here to help vote for it to be on Steam: Despite these first couple minutes being a bit slow and barren (and I want to keep the rest a surprise), I hope it gives at least a bit of the idea of the atmospheric direction. Releasing it next month (May) if it gets…
It's a bit of a sloppy set-up for now, but I mainly want to get it through Greenlight while keeping as much of it secret as possible. Close Your Eyes: Intermission is a spin-off sequel to CYE, continuing the story but I will clarify IS NOT Close Your Eyes 2. Follow Marshmallow Monk into a nightmare land in a game that combines elements of the original CYE, an ARG, a Creepypasta, and a new flavo…
