Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake-
Close Your Eyes Remake VER. 2.2 Update (Much New!)
My Hole is a Mouth of Dirt: Director's Cut is also now officially starting, with the first section of it fully playable.
Here's a full list of patch notes:
ANNEX:
-Lowered the amount of achievements needed to unlock Twisted Puzzle (10 > 5), The Annex (5 > 0), A Ghastly Tale (20 > 15), and Beneath the Surface (35 > 30).
-Cleaned up the main annex lobby, put it into its "Final form" for layout, updated the dialogue around to properly reflect the update.
CLOSE YOUR EYES:
-Added a LOT of new sprites and details to various rooms.
-Added new flavor text to new details.
-Added some new events.
-Added some new secrets.
-Changed several Host voice lines to new recordings in the "New Voices" option, as I wasn't fully happy with several of the lines.
-Added new weed sprites for weed variety.
-Fixed up the "Hidden Hag Cassette" area with how it handled lighting a bit.
-Fixed some broken routes the enemies in the tunnel section can take.
-Fixed the "Death Zone" for the tunnel enemies if you died a second time (them spotting you wasn't reset previously).
GIRL'S GRAVEYARD:
-Fixed up some of the dialogue, some new lines added.
-Added a couple new secrets.
-Fixed a few typos.
-Made it so players could go back to get a selfie with the girl in red if they moved past it too quickly (can return to previous room).
Girl's Graveyard Mystery:
-Added a new event in the first night sequence.
-Fixed a few typos.
-Fixed the dialogue of some of the characters on Day 3 in the Village.
A Ghastly Tale:
-Added a few new sprite details/events.
-Fixed a few typos.
-The final room is a WIP, I know you can clip through the statue sprites and no flavor text currently. Just a work in progress for now.
My Hole is a Mouth of Dirt:
-Added properly.
-Voice acting added.
-One new room compared to the original in the current build.
-Various sprites updated to look better.
-Couple new hidden events to the OG.
The next update should be in October, I should be far more consistent from here on out.

Voice Acting Update, Small Update Before The Storm
-Adds voice acting for The Girl in every scene she appears in (about 100 new lines of voiced dialogue in the current build). In Close Your Eyes Remake, her voice acting only plays if you enable the "New Voice Acting" option when starting a new Close Your Eyes Remake game, in "Old Voice Acting" she remains unvoiced like the original game.
-Several dozen The Host lines redone for Close Your Eyes Remake's "New Voice Acting" option.
-Added new stuff to the Warehouse Path in The Forest in the Close Your Eyes Remake.
-Several bug fixes.
-Added a few secrets.
This is a smaller update ahead of a series of bigger updates, the first one, Version 0.3, coming out in a few weeks from now. Hope you enjoy!

Yai Gameworks 2020 Questionnaire Survey
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 and to increase my audience size, otherwise making games becomes a thing I do in my spare time (not the worst thing in the world, but it would limit what I can do of course). I've been crunching a lot of numbers, working hard this last year and processing possibilities to make this questionnaire form, but there's a lot of questions I want to get some feedback for from people who already are into my games.
This form will take 15-40 minutes, I ask you please read the text and descriptions I post rather than just looking at the WIP pictures as I will be taking this feedback seriously. I thank you for your time all the same, it does mean a lot to me.
