(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.

(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."

(1/6) Just to be transparent with what Yai Gameworks is up to: -Working on a new game called Pale Sugar. This is the main character art and sprite from the game, far more info on it soon. -Working on a big overhaul update for Close Your Eyes Remake, doing a final pass over

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.

yaigameworks.bsky.social @yaigameworks.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

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:

(1/6) I've got 5 updates to share for Yai Gameworks that should be pretty concrete. FIRST, Aug 18th-Sep 1st there will be a BIG Yai Gameworks sale, all games at the cheapest they've ever been. Feast Your Eyes & Decaying Delicacy will be getting a price increase immediately after,

Working hard with @grcnexe.bsky.social on Inferbito right now. "A girl named Hailey struggles to remember the face of her dead sister for one of her paintings as a suicidal bunny plush & a shadowy hare monster infiltrate her life." Share more on my little horror game as it comes along.

(1/3) Working on Inferbito, hoping to have the game out by August 26th, but may end up a bit later depending on how everything goes. A basic synopsis of the game: "A girl named Hailey tries to paint a portait of her long dead sister, but she can't seem to remember her facial features correctly.

(1/4) So I've been slowly trying to put accessibility features into Close Your Eyes Remake, like the screen brightness option last update. Right now doing a "color blindness" test run through the game & modifying stuff where seeing color would limit playability, making conscious decisions of how

yaigameworks.bsky.social @yaigameworks.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

(1/3) Inferbito is a game I plan to release before 2025 is up, dedicated to making that happen. I personally think part of art is a balance of personal expression of things experienced & what's in the minds eye, alongside inspiration & love for things that evoke thoughts in you.

(1/10) Hey, did you know we're approaching Yai Gameworks 10-year anniversary? Well, now you do! I've technically been making games since 2013, starting with Blank Slate, but "Yai Gameworks" was made officially in 2015 as part of becoming a Steam developer to release Close Your Eyes: Redux on Steam.

A promise from me is I plan to work on my own little games regardless of the state of the world, without the use of AI. I love the independent artist spirit, I've already chosen to dedicate my life to making little games. I'll do it with other creatives without AI till I die.

(1/16) Over the last few weeks I got some great progress done on Red Haze 2. I've debated keeping it mostly secret, but I do sorta' want to be transparent with the project especially as I do plan to do an Early Access thing in the future with it resembling how Red Haze's original

The original line was, "My mind doesn't like me, it's so unruly & cruel", but this misread has infested my brain to the point it's becoming an in-joke with a friend of mine, & I don't think anyone else will find it funny, but it's actually becoming a problem how much it tickles me.

Been holding voice auditions for one of my games, "Close Your Eyes", recently. Been fortunate to have over a thousand people audition, I'm truly grateful. But living rent free in my head for two weeks now was someone's misread of a line, "My mind is so unruly & cruelly."

Finished up the Sink Your Teeth soundtrack! Lot's of music in this thing, but here's a 30-second sampler of four of the vocal songs made originally for the game: www.youtube.com/watch?v=my4v... Work on it is going swell. I hope to surprise people with this game.

I can say now that Sink Your Teeth is going to have a 100% original soundtrack. Most of the music is done by me, except for six vocal songs, all of which are original songs made for the game by four different musical artist. I'm really looking forward to people hearing the OST!
