Close Your Eyes News

https://store.steampowered.com/app/706710/Close_Your_Eyes_Anniversary_Remake/

I'm trying to schedule out some stuff right now after some unexpected life bumps like the passing of my best friend and a family situation, and not announcing anything else yet as it's not ready enough to put an exact date on (Game 3 of FHG11.exe, Red Haze update, Arctic Haze, etc.), but there's something I can put a date on right now.

Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- will be releasing on Steam on November 26th in Early Access for $4.99 USD (with a 5% launch discount and a further 5% off with the Yai Gameworks Complete Bundle).

The Early Access form will on release include:
-The complete remake of Close Your Eyes, with brand new areas, scenes, characters, reimagined segments, and more surprises with a total of 10 endings to obtain.
-The complete remake of Girl's Graveyard, the precursor to CYE which also features some new scenes, story beats, and details.
-The Twisted Puzzle expansion, it's identical to the DLC from the original game with one addition I won't spoil, but it is included on launch.

The game is gunning to release out of Early Access on April 29th, 2019, though more modes will be added over time, I'll be taking player feedback and asking direct questions to Early Access players for development, and the price will increase a couple times before release as more is added.

What will be added in the coming months, with an update every month or two, is the "Close Your Eyes: Anniversary Mode", "Girl's Graveyard Hard Mode", the brand new scenario, "Close Your Eyes - Beneath the Surface", two miniature side modes in "Close Your Eyes: Hushed Hour" and "Close Your Eyes: A Ghastly Tale", and a fully explorable hub area between game modes known as The Annex.

I can 100% guarantee unless my house gets destroyed by fire or something, it'll be releasing on November 26th. Hope to surprise you guys with it.

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 committed suicide on Monday, and dealing with some grief and doing some things this weekend as a result.

I hope you guys enjoy Found Horror Game 11.exe, it's first game available, the upcoming 10 games, and the whole experience.

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 the entire original soundtrack for the games I released during my first five years of making games (between 2013 - 2018). It includes the original and able-to-distribute music for Blank Slate (original Ludum Dare version), Girl's Graveyard, Close Your Eyes [Original Version], Take the Dream IX, Red Haze, Cootie Patootie [Original Version], Close Me, Please Love My Computer Game, Found Horror Game 11.exe, and Dusk Golem's Red Haze of Horror 3D, as well as some scrapped songs. This does not include outside tracks as that would've needed me to re-license everything again, and decided to keep this to the original songs by myself (and a few by friends I have been given complete permission for free reign over). All come in .mp3 format. I hope to keep surprising with all that I do. The money earned from this is going right back into future projects.

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 properly. Here's what Yai Gameworks will be releasing over the next few months:

"Found Horror Game 11.exe" will be releasing between July 27th to August 6th for $3.99 USD. Follow the story of Ina, a gas station attendant, in an episodic horror game where the community must work a bit together to unlock the next sequence of the game.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/428860/Red_Haze/
"Red Haze" will have it's big content update between September 28th to October 12th as a free update to the game (but shortly the price of Red Haze will go up to $2.99 USD).

The Store Page is not live yet, but at this time there will also release a new spin-off Red Haze game known as, "Dusk Golem's Red Haze of Horror 3D", which will cost $2.99 USD as well, though those that posted in the Red Haze Steam topic before this announcement was posted and followed the instructions will get a key for the game early.

There is not a Steam Page for it yet, but between September to October Rincs and I will be releasing a short horror game we both made involving a bag store. More details to come, this one is working on a strict time table and will be releasing not too long after the store page goes up.

---

There is no Store Page yet, but in releasing on October 30th, 2018 for free will be "Horror Game Anthology", a horror game anthology with short horror games made by different indie horror game developers. I'm holding and compiling the anthology, and it won't be releasing under Yai Gameworks collection due to being an effort of several indie horror game devs I just so happen to be hosting, but I will post the Store Page when that goes live.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/706710/Close_Your_Eyes_Anniversary_Remake/
Between November 26th - December 3rd, we'll be releasing in, Early Access "Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake-" for $4.99 USD. The Early Access Remake on release will include the full remake for Close Your Eyes, the full remake for Girl's Graveyard, it will include Close Your Eyes: The Twisted Puzzle, and it will include a new scenario known as, "Close Your Eyes: Hushed Hour". The remakes include a lot of new content and various scenes upgraded to be better than ever.

Beyond that is an enigma for now. As long as I don't have serious health or livelihood issues or anything of the like, this WILL be concrete. I had chosen from past mishaps and bad judgement to hold off revealing these dates until they were near certain, other projects are not certain right now so will see them down the line. I hope you guys enjoy the sorta' rapid 1-month apart releases I'll be doing over the next few months!

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 be on sale. Most notably, Red Haze will be the cheapest price it'll be for years, once the Summer Sale is up I'm updating the price from $1.99 USD to $2.99 USD for the upcoming big content patch update, if you guys don't own Red Haze but want it now will be the best time to purchase it. Close Me, Close Me's extended New Game+ campaign & soundtrack DLC, and Close Your Eyes' Girl's Graveyard and soundtrack DLC all will be on sale as well.

If you own Red Haze before July 8th, make sure to read and follow the instructions here to get a secret surprise in a month or two: https://steamcommunity.com/games/428860/announcements/detail/1664523682560878190
