(1/3) Next year I'm gonna' experiment with making a new YouTube channel to explore the horror genre more in-depth. My goal is 6 bigger videos in 2-years, & then determine if worth doing more or not. I will be shamelessly plugging these videos when I release them. The six videos I decided to tackle

cannot guaruntee i could work on it anytime soon. if you'd like to throw something extra my way, i've made a donation pool on my kofi ! funds will go directly towards moving expenses, like downpayments & renting a truck. and if you read this far, thank you 💜 (6/6) 💫 ko-fi.com/xenoscribble... 💫

Silent Hill 2 Remake on the Xbox not being at the Xbox Partner Preview is actually shocking, though kinda' funny since it's kinda' just... releasing with no fanfare then?

The Xbox Partner Preview starts shortly. Silent Hill 2 Remake on the Xbox should be properly announced there, Re-Animal also is guaranteed to be there (which I'm not super hyped for after playing Little Nightmares 2 last month), & probably other things too www.twitch.tv/Xbox

(1/8) I'm going to do a "in defense post of Rinko from Silent Hill f. MAJOR SPOILER WARNING. Rinko gets a lot of hate, & I get it, but I don't think people are seeing Rinko clearly. To understand Rinko, you first have to understand the Rinko we see through the game ISN'T Rinko.

(1/3) Silent Hill f SPOILERS warning. I really, really like SHf's layered narrative. Exploring about how being told to "be grateful" being thrown as you as an insult is a form of violence. Pressure to pay back for basic things, being belittled by parents, peers, etc, for simply

Playing the entire final Red Haze OST Soundtrack (all music from all updates, plus the Bruises Glimmer in Starlight 1 & 2 DLC OST). Run a bit less than 4 hours, VOD will stay up after the stream, hope you enjoy~! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Xst...

(1/7) 4Gamer had an interview on Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake with Makoto Shibata (director of every single FF game since the first one), & Hidehiko Nakajima from Team Ninja. Gave some interesting answers; -They're not against remaking Fatal Frame 1 if fans want it, do say it'd need heavy

(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

All of my horror games, like my twisted dark fairytale take on a drug addicted Red Riding Hood in an abandoned apartment complex with 27 endings & the game changing after each ending, Red Haze, are on sale as part of the Steam Scream Halloween Sale: store.steampowered.com/bundle/4193/...

That's a fucking crazy ass photo.

While I do not know if anything will be here (I don't know Capcom's marketing plans), & my personal expectations ae low, Capcom's "Capcom Presents" New York Comicon panel is starting in about 45 minutes from now. Can watch an official stream of it here: www.youtube.com/live/wMN4-fQ...

(1/4) In exactly 12 hours from me posting this will be the Resident Evil Requiem Capcom TGS Special Stage. Supposed to run roughly 50 minutes long: www.youtube.com/live/wpVKDiW... There is a Pragmata Special Stage & Monster Hunter thing in the hours before it if want to tune in for ahead of it.

PlayStation State of Play begins in ~30 minutes (2 PM PT) YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QcE... Twitch www.twitch.tv/playstation Runtime: 35+ minutes new looks at anticipated third-party & indie titles, plus updates from PlayStation Studios teams & extended look at Saros

Me playing Silent Hill f be like:

(1/21) So at the slow speed I take to play games, I'm 9 hours into Silent Hill f, just beat the first boss, playing on Hard combat difficulty & "Lost in the Fog" (Hard+) puzzle difficulty. Here's my non-spoiler impressions if you'd like to hear them. I promise, minimal spoilers!

There are many people out there that will be playing Silent Hill f right now, but if you'd like to join me playing it for a few hours at the start of the game, I'll be streaming it here starting at 10:15 PM PST/1:15 AM EST: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMwv...

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.

Fatal Frame 2 Crimson Butterfly Remake announced just now on the Nintendo Direct, releasing early 2026.

(1/10) In lieu of the Drakengard 1 OST dropping randomly onto Steam & Spotify, I want to talk a little bit about Drag-On Dragoon. Most people know it as Yoko Taro's prequel to the NieR series these days, but for me it's a well of major creative inspiration, a bad game that comes

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:

I'm being super productive. Might've figured out how to make better skipable cutscenes in Red Haze finally, almost done with Red Haze 2's blueprint, Close Your Eyes Remake's Opening Movie soon™️!

Red haze is a underrated rpgmaker horror classic o3o "I'm happy. are you?" with a great ost too. (WARNING. Game contains scenes not suitable for all audiences. drug use, whoring yourself, and addiction. you have been warned.)

Tomorrow, August 22nd, at 11 AM PST / 2 PM EST, I'll be holding a 10-year anniversary developer stream for Yai Gameworks, giving history, developer insight, fun facts & other surprises for the whole history of my horror games so far: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xBi...

Resident Evil Requiem's main menu theme from the demo was shared & making the rounds. Will likely end up the main menu theme of the full RE9 game as that's not unusual for these demos.

Here's the full cutscene from the end of the Resident Evil Requiem demo if anyone wants to see it. Nice to see a fuller RE9 cutscene.

Capcom launched the 30-year anniversary website for Resident Evil, nothing on it yet but a new piece of artworkm but it shows they're kicking off the 30-year anniversary starting today with RE9 at Gamescom & RE2 & RE3 PS1 versions coming to PS4/PS5 today: game.capcom.com/residentevil...

(1/2) Reminder that Gamescom Opening Night Live will be premiering in 10 hours from this post (11 PM PST/2 PM EST). Resident Evil Requiem & Silent Hill f are confirmed to be there with new trailers, so that's guaranteed if planning to tune in. Links where to watch in next post.

Akira Yamaoka of Silent Hill fame reveals in an interview from the devs of DarkSwitch (survival city builder game Yamaoka did music for) that if there was a dream video game franchise for him to work on, it'd be Resident Evil. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/silent-...

PayPal is messing with Steam purchases that are not EUR, CAD, GBP, JPY, AUD, USD

(1/3) I think Resident Evil cliffhanger teaser endings are super funny. The weird after credits scene of RE:3 with Jill picking up the vial & the BSAA soldier thing at the end of Village were both set-ups to be paid off in the now scrapped multiplayer Singapore version of RE9.

(1/2) Anyone who knows their way around the RPG Maker Horror scene know of any "database" of games that aren't the following? -Steam -The RPGMakerNet Internet Archive -Itchio -GameJolt -Freem -VGPerson -Yume Nikki Fangame Wiki -Ao Oni Fan Game Wiki I don't mind if I have to dig

(1/3) Spent the other day watching a couple dozen short animated films & student animated films on YouTube with a couple friends, FAR more I still want to watch & have queued up, but here's three I watched I really liked. TRAIN WORLD by Ropeszzz: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOnr...

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 as it comes along.

NEW: Earlier today, Mastercard denied playing a roll in the Steam and itch.io purging NSFW games. But Valve now says Mastercard communicated concerns indirectly through payment processors and banks. kotaku.com/mastercard-d...

I think animals that have evolved very intricate disguises for their environment, like that spider which looks like a leaf or the sea horse which looks like coral reef, is absolutely fascinating, since like what in their DNA determined to evolve that way to super specifically disguise as something?

(1/3) Several publications played 5-hours of Silent Hill f & wrote previews. Alongside 15 minutes of new footage was released: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpfz... Here's some choice quotes; IGN: "Silent Hill f seems to be a horror game that gets everything right...serious GOTY contender."

(1/3) Working on Inferbito, hoping to have the game out by August 26th, but may end up a bit later depending on how it goes. Basic synopsis: "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.

(1/2) In the continued censorship reign being done by Visa & Mastercard, under pressure from groups like Collective Shout & Exodus Cry, horror games, like Mouthwashing & VILE: Exhumed, are now being targeted. Mouthwashing delisted from itch.io, VILE removed from Steam.

Konami confirms there will be a new Silent Hill f trailer premiering at Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 19th: www.konami.com/games/eu/en/...

i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

(1/2) I talked about this on the Yai Gameworks side, but evangelical puritan Christian types from Australia & America who have money lobbying groups & people of power at Visa & Master Card are pushing to censor games hard right now. I'm fully for adult games, LGBTQ+ games,

(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

I've ended up watching several Irish horror movies in the last few years (mostly by coincidence), and one of my big take aways is Irish Horror is on an upswing in the 2010s/2020s. Don't think it's been talked about in-depth yet, but there's a lot of hidden gems coming out of Ireland.

I'm a bit unreasonably excited for the upcoming third season of "To Your Eternity". Hardly ever see anyone talk about this anime, it's definitely flawed though has some stellar moments. But I kinda' love its characters & world despite some flaws especially in pacing, so excited.

Been recording some stuff for my little horror game, Close Your Eyes, for reference as doing art passes & deaf options for the game (easier to have on video than replay multiple times to time stuff correctly). Decided to just pick a random 90 second slice to share as I often don't.

(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.

All of my little Yai Gameworks horror games are on sale for the Steam Summer Sale, if you wanna' check them out (also have some free games): store.steampowered.com/bundle/4193/...

(1/2) Because I wanna' see it succeed, I'll mention right now the PS1-styled Japanese horror game "Walk", which had a demo a few years ago in the Haunted PS1 Demo Disc 2021 collection, is running a Kickstarter for future development. Link to the kickstarter in the reply tweet.

And done with my trailer & media analysis for Silent Hill f of the content released around the June 4th 2025 State of Play. Can ready the whole 78 BlueSky thread here: bsky.app/profile/dusk...
