(6/6) release.
There's 2 smaller games too, which I suspect might come out first due to smaller scale. One is a "Not" Girls Graveyard "small space, many endings" game. The other is a small horror game I'm trying to make the scariest thing I've ever released.
Have more soon!
(5/6) be further out still since they're both aiming to be a few hours long.
I'm working on a pretty huge update for Close Your Eyes Remake, I'm excited for that to get out there, but not rushing it since I want it to be one of the singularly biggest CYER updates I'll ever
(4/6) in a final state I'm happy with. But a lot of the final areas are nearly fully designed, just want to keep them a surprise.
Been making great progress on Blossoming Yandere & Not Your Eyes (first tweet WIP vid is from NYE). Those two are coming along together great, but
(3/5) some other stuff on hold in the meantime.
Red Haze's final update is going well, the main obstacles is I need to contact Danuta again to voice things for Starry & Ghastly in Close Your Eyes (that's been on me since I've wanted to wait until I'm fully sure the scripts are
(2/5) months have been taken up by Sugary Sinful Girls work. I've been holding voice auditions for the project, the deadline is less than 2 weeks away, so just been focusing on finishing scripts. By far the longest script I've ever written. Though SSG is still far off, it's put
(1/5) I've been really productive since 2026 begun, to the point I'm getting closer & closer to finally releasing new things. I don't really have any dates yet, & been juggling a lot, but I want to talk a bit about what I've been up to in the meantime.
A lot of the last couple
As I get ready to release a few games this year, while I may remain in obscurity forever, my request if a game of mine does ever blow up is to not gatekeep the Yai community. No elitism, let people in, let them theorize, no wrong answers.
Unless they're a bigot, then kill them.
(3/3) alarming signals, which leads them down a rabbit hole of conspiracy & terror.
Having over 50 endings (as the game changes as you collect more), interactive detailed environments w/hidden stuff to do, ranging from signal decoding, cleaning, to a vast array of varied threats, & many surprises.
(2/3) Play as Scyne, a signal processing engineer who decodes & maintains the technology alone high up in the Himalayas, working with a cutting edge AI named N.O.A.H. to maintain operations, & otherwise only occasionally gets in contact with their higher ups. They begin to decode
(1/3) Static Haze, Yai Gameworks biggest game to date, & collaboration between @grcnexe.bsky.social & myself, enters full production this year. A twisted 2D horror game set at a fictional isolated Chinese satellite ground station in the Himalaya mountains, loosely based on, "The Ugly Duckling."

store.steampowered.com/bundle/4193/...
In the future when Red Haze 2 comes out, & I talk about inspirations for the game (outside of personal things), it's going to be a weird experience since they're all things most people have never heard of, & half of them are Gmod maps.
But I have a direction I'm in love with.
Right now working hard on updates for Close Your Eyes Remake, Red Haze, Feast Your Eyes, & Close Me.
Here's a small sample of the intro cutscene before the title screen for Close Your Eyes Remake on Steam, done by @grcnexe.bsky.social exe & I. See the full thing when the next update hits:
