- Yai Gameworks 10-Year Anniversary Developer Stream & Sale - 22 August 2025
Hey! It's window of the 10-year anniversary of Yai Gameworks! I've officially been making little horror games for 10 years now! Three things to express here.Firstly, all of the Yai Gameworks games are on sale on Steam right now at the cheapest prices they've ever been at for the Yai Gameworks 10-year anniversary. Sale lasts until September 1st, and I'll mention after this sale there will be a price increase for Decaying Delicacy & Feast Your Eyes ahead of their big updates, alongside Close Me's New Game+ DLC will be delisted from Steam (due to a shortly coming update to add all the New Game+ content to the base game, alongside some new random events), though those who've bought it will give a little exclusive alt costume in-game as thanks for those who supported and bought it.Can find all the games I've released on Steam here, all on sale for the Yai Gameworks 10-Year Anniversary Sale u…
- Red Haze's final update will hit in December - 7 August 2025
Red Haze's long awaited final content update will be releasing in December of 2025. This is the final content update, everything in the game will be fully playable. The only other updates afterward will just be to fix any bugs that might creep up for anything found afterward.The update will add the top of the lighthouse to the game, Ending A will become available, and the A-Z Door will open up for anyone who's collected all 26 regular endings (the two bonus Halloween & Out of Bounds endings aren't needed, but they unlock other things). It'll probably hit in the first half of December, but don't want to narrow it to a specific date until I'm 100% certain, just wanted to give a heads up when its coming broadly ahead of time. I want to keep most of what this update entails a surprise, but I hope y'all will look forward to it!Additionally, the DLC piece for Red Haze, "Bruises Glimmer in Sta…
- Yai Gameworks 10-year anniversary; releasing FREE updates to all of my games! - 7 May 2025
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. So I have some surprises for y'all! I'm doing a HUGE 10-year celebration. What does that entail? I'm going to update every single game I've released on Steam. This will start in a few days from now, but the updates will roll out through the next 477 days (until August 31st, 2026). I will not reveal everything I'm adding to these games here, just the core new additions. I will give no ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) on any of these, just know that I'll post an update on each game's store page when each one is out (or of course, keep the game installed to be notified when the game updates). All of the…
- Red Haze Big July 11th Update OUT NOW! - 11 July 2024
Alright! Here's the promised update from the last update. This update includes: Endings B, D & X added to the game. Two new monsters with two new death scenes. 25+ new rooms added to the game. 227 new voice lines, including previous endings and quips where Rockette wasn't voiced she now is. 3 new non-ending cutscenes and 2 new "Story Quests" (which make permanent progress points). Few new secrets. Think I've fixed every bug reported to me, though sure new ones will creep up I need to fix. This completes the "Main Area" of Red Haze! The game is almost finished, just one more update to go to add Ending A and the A-Z Door into the game (and get Starry voiced in Ending Q in the last recording session with Danuta). I wouldn't hold off playing the game just for the next update though, as Ending A and the A-Z Door both are pretty strong "points of no return", separated really from the rest of…
- July 11th (12th in some regions) Red Haze update detailed - 5 July 2024
Red Haze is getting a big content update on July 11th. This was originally planned to be the final update, but Danuta (the voice of Starry and Mariana) needed more time for life busyness, and honestly this allows me more time to work on the area through the A-Z Door anyway, so this will actually be the second to last update. But it is a pretty sizable one all the same. The July 11th Red Haze update includes: 3 New Endings (Ending B, D, & X) 2 new monsters (along with two new death scenes) One new Dummy variant 27 new rooms 227 new voice lines (previous endings & quips that were non-voiced by Rockette now will be) 3 new non-ending cutscenes Two new "story quests" Several new secrets Bug fixes (think I fixed every bug that's been reported to me, sure new ones will creep up though) I'm excited for people to experience this update! I hope those who've enjoyed Red Haze will like it. There is…
- Red Haze's final major update finally hits on July 11th, 2024 - 10 April 2024
Sorry for the super lengthy delay, but finally after years, Red Haze's final update is releasing on JULY 11TH, 2024. It adds several dozen new rooms, several new endings, new monsters, now story bits, voice acting of previously unvoiced scenes (and new scenes). new secrets & more! The reason for this delay is very complex and can basically be summed up that I had a really rough last few years. But that's in the past now, I'm excited to get the ball rolling again. And starting that off with finishing Red Haze off. The only other thing to mention is with Red Haze coming to a close, I've started development on its sequel game, titled "Static Haze". This game will not be releasing in any capacity until 2026 at the earliest, I have other projects at Yai Gameworks to finish up and new games to release before it, but I also want to give it more time to cook. However, in the meantime as Red Haz…

- Yai Gameworks 2020 Questionnaire Survey - 27 December 2019
The Yai Gameworks 2020 Questionnaire Survey Form: https://forms.gle/aAHSNATPVih4uDcK7 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 th…

https://store.steampowered.com/app/833020/Dusk_Golems_Anthology_of_Horror/ I have a lot going on the hood and trying to get better how I handle announcements and releases, but I can confidently say (unless the game gets held up in Steam's review process) I'll be releasing Dusk Golem's Anthology of Horror on October 30th for $5.99 USD. It is a collection of three playable short horror stories, "Girl's Graveyard Mystery," "I Haunt this Place" and "Wail of Despair. More info on all three of these games' on the game's store page description. You're going to see more frequent releases from me over the next 10 months. I have been working really hard, but also I have a time limit now in either do or die if I can fully rely on this due to some unfortunate circumstances involving my family being in need and myself needing to be able to provide for myself and others. I'm going to put my all into…
- Red Haze Halloween 2019 Event & Update NOW LIVE! - 27 September 2019
Red Haze's Halloween Event is now live! From September 27th to November 5th, you may enter the special Halloween area to play the "Dark Harvest" Halloween event, returning from last year. Collect all the costumes and experience a short story! Alongside the returning event, there is a brand new secret added to Red Haze that is over 100x more likely to be found during this Halloween Event than after it (the secret will still be available after the Halloween Event is over, but it is much, MUCH easier to find during this Halloween Event than after). The Secret also has a new achievement tied to it, and a new unlockable costume which has some special aesthetic effects on the game. Alongside all of this, I managed to fix all bugs reported to me and stumbled on some minor bugs I also fixed. I'm sure there's more bugs to be found, and report them to me, but I fixed a few minor long-standing bug…
- Red Haze Third to Final Update OUT NOW... Mostly - 2 August 2019
So, there's a few crevices here, but for the most the "Third to Final" Update for Red Haze is out now! Restart Steam if you want it to download immediately. There is a few crevices. Rockette will get some voiced lines, but they're not quuite in yet, and that's on me scheduling with Serene last minute. There's some secrets I'll be releasing over the next few days. I'm sure there will be some bugs, which I'll be ironing out as they come in. Still, new areas are available, new secrets, some fixes. Expect some little trinkles of content to hit also tomorrow and the day after, then whenever I get Rockette's new lines, bug fixes, and then the update will be complete. I hope you all enjoy!
- Red Haze "Third to Final" hitting August 1st, Price Increase on August 6th - 29 July 2019
The "Third to Final" Update which adds everything to the game except the Top Floors of the Lighthouse (and the four endings up there), the A-Z Door and unlockable stuff hits on August 1st. Red Haze is currently on a discount matched at the cheapest it's ever been (since the price increase a year and a half ago). Red Haze is going to get its second and final price increase after this update hits to raise to $3.99 USD. The sale going on right now is the cheapest it'll be for some time (you may notice I'm a bit stingy with my discounts and almost never partake in bundles with only one exception over the last four years I've been making games. Though none of my games are that expensive, I do value them properly). I also will mention now that there will be a Halloween Update for Red Haze this October. It'll include the previous "Dark Harvest" Halloween event, plus a new smaller Halloween eve…

However, if holding off playing it for the final update, you shouldn't. This update makes everything within the game as "complete" as it'll be outside of bu…
