Please Love My Computer Game
Close Me - New Game+ & OST Selection Soundtrack coming on March 16th for $0.99
For those who don't know, Close Me is the prequel to PLMCG.
Many people had requested for a few songs release from Close Me, so I decided to release the soundtrack along with a content expansion update for Close Me. Both come together as one package for the price of $0.99 USD on March 16th.
Firstly we have New Game+, which is the content update for the game. New Game+ adds new content to the game after you've completed Close Me at least once. On your second and later playthrough if you own the DLC a number of new things will open up, including new areas, new scenes, new secrets, and a new optional scenario to go through. I want to keep most of this a surprise, so I won't say much more than that for now.
Also included is Close Me's soundtrack, including the various versions of the song 'All It Comes With' used in the game, as well as two new versions, one more 'normal' version of the song, and a new very odd remix for the album. It also includes the credits theme and various songs from the game, all in 320kbps MP3.
I hope you guys enjoy it, it'll be out in 8 days from this posts time.
Yai Gameworks upcoming game release plans and news
Between February of 2018 to April of 2019 I want to release 12 video games onto Steam.
Now there’s a few reasons I have chosen to attempt this honestly foolish errand, especially foolish for me. I originally had set my sights to work on a dream project I’ve had in my head for many years, my first actual big project titled, “Complete Isolation.” I held a funding campaign for this game back in 2013 on Indiegogo, who’s funding has been used for all my projects to produce the music you all hear in my games. Still, here we are five years later and CI still does not exist. I want to make it, I desperately do, and I originally had planned to commit myself to it this year. That was until all my analysis, self-reflection, crunching, talking with others, and reason pointed me to pursuing another goal first, to do something else foolish first so that CI would be a less foolish endeavor and a safer bet.
You see, Complete Isolation is planned as an episodic gameplay experience. Episodic releases work best on a timed release manner; being timely with episodes is important. That means having a good groundwork you can easily build off of, self-discipline, a solid plan and commitment, and short development cycles. These are all things I need to master, and trying to wrangle that first-hand on an episodic game would be setting many up for disappointment of delays when I inevitability failed to deliver on time. I need to practice this first, but in a form that isn’t both as anti-consumer and as financially risky as a longer term episodic game. Climb a hill before a mountain kinda’ thing.
Add to this CI needs to look the part, it has a bigger investment, bigger cost, and as I’d be tackling a large chunk of the game myself from coding to design to music and writing and voice directing I’d need someone to do the art, a pretty sizable amount of drawn art and sprite work as well. But the needed art amount is hefty, and I’m not in a financial position to offer a decent payment upfront. Rincs, my partner in crime on projects who’s done the drawn art on my projects, hasn’t seen a cent from Yai Gameworks sales and I feel awful about it. I need her for a longer term but don’t want to run her ragged, and need to pay her properly for her work. I should save up and split profits, but even that is a huge uncertainty. I need to secure more income, and allow her more time to do art for the project between her busy life.
Add to all of this having Yai Gameworks name out there and more experience under our belt can only be a good thing.
I decided to propose a challenge to myself, a series of experimental games on a planned and tight schedule. This is a way to work myself to a position where I can hopefully form the experience and conviction needed to do an episodic structure, all while getting more games and experiences under my belt. All while hopefully earning some money and making some more things available to all of you guys I hope that y’all enjoy. It may even work out to be a good way to market it as the steps up to try and achieve Complete Isolation.
There’s more to all of this. But I plan to in the upcoming week make a video detailing it all a little further. This plan isn’t just to make more games however, it’s to make an over-a-year plan and stick to it. The first game of this challenge is already released, it can be found as Please Love My Computer Game on Steam. However, I will now detail the rest of the plan to you all. I cannot guarantee I will be able to meet and achieve what I hope to, but I can tell you I’m going to be working hard to achieve my own dreams which I view this as a crucial step towards.
So if things pan out, what can you all expect?
APRIL 2018:
-”The Crack I Found That Taketh”
A nearly dialogue-less 3D exploration and discovery experimental game about a crack in the floor.

JULY 2018
-”Hellscape”

You may guide them to nurish a future, or trample them into oblivion. What gift may you give a disgusting world with no hope?
AUGUST 2018

A B-Horror Comedy game about a group of college kids who all are a bit messed up and kinky getting trapped in a cathedral with the monstrous nun known as the Killing Kink Nunster, who wishes to eradicate their sin and pay their dues with their blood. It’s a lot weirder and even more twisted than you think.
