Yai Gameworks 10-year anniversary; releasing FREE updates to all of my games!
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: Red

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 the game. If you do the "story quest" to unlock the pathway to Ending A right now, it's blockaded for now but will remain unlocked for the next update.
I hope y'all are having a wonderful day, I'm releasing this on my birthday actually. And I hope you enjoy the new content in Red Haze!

July 11th (12th in some regions) Red Haze update detailed
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 th
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 one more update planned, I don't want it to be too much later but right now it has to be "TBD" as it partly is based on when Danuta and I can record the rest of the lines. I decided to hold off releasing Ending A since there's quite a bit of dialogue by Danuta in that ending, and rather people experience that with the scene fully voiced rather than Rockette being the only one talking.
The final update will hopefully land in August, and include the following:
-Ending A
-The A-Z Door finally openable
-Ending Q will finally have Starry be voiced
And then Red Haze will be finished!
If thinking of holding off playing until the final update, I actually would say there's no real good reason to wait. Ending A & the A-Z Door both have very "point of no return" elements and content to them that make them a bit separated from the rest of the game. With this update, all of the "main area" of Red Haze is concluded and fully explorable. You can even do the "story quest" to access Ending A right now, but it'll be blockaded until the final update (but stay unlocked for anyone to easily access if they do so now before the final update).
Anyways, I'm excited for this upcoming Red Haze update and to very soon finally mark Red Haze as completed. I really hope you enjoy the final batch of Red Haze content! Have a wonderful day!
