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.
The Miserable Crimson Hooded Girl releases on August 20th
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 probably won't be for a while. Those who beat The Twisted Puzzle and got one of the keys at the end of that will own this game on release automatically for partaking in that. Notifying in case you're wondering why you already have this game wishlisted/already own it.
Sans any major tragedies in my life or Valve making the review process take too long, I'm gunning for that August 20th release date. The game will cost $2.99 USD, I'll post more details about the game in the upcoming week on the Yai Gameworks Discord and Twitter, which you can find links for both below:

Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- OUT NOW!!
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 Early Access launch, the full 'Girl's Graveyard' remake is included, with 1-2 hours of gameplay. The 'Close Your Eyes' remake first hour or so is playable, up until the Judith Manor section of the game. 'Close Your Eyes - The Twisted Puzzle' is included, unlocked after 10 achievements in-game are completed, and has a few puzzle solution changes, a few new hidden things, and should give people a varying amount of gameplay time (depending how good they are at the puzzles).
I hope you guys enjoy, up until the Close Your Eyes Remake is completed, there will be fairly regular updates. You can play up to the current cut-off point and load your save file when new updates hit to continue where you left off. I look forward to communicating with everyone over the course of development, and hope you all enjoy the game!

Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- releasing on November 26th
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.
Found Horror Game 11.exe out now
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.
Yai Gameworks: First Five Years Music Album released
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.
