Meeting our original launch date would require our team to work nights, weekends and early mornings to ship and risk burning people out. Plus, we’re a studio that prides itself on avoiding crunch.

We don’t want to release anything less than the best version of the game we have been making throughout our development cycle. This would mean delivering something much different than what we’ve envisioned and worked toward. The reality is that, with our current workload, we could not have met our June launch date without significant cuts to the quality and scope of the game. After assessing our production schedule for GVH, we’ve made the decision to move our launch to August 29, 2023. We have an important update for you regarding Goodbye Volcano High’s release date. Thank you so much, and if you haven’t yet had the chance to play, we hope you’ll get to now that we’re keeping it up! And tell your friends all about it too-the dinos thank you 💖 The final release will have all these things, but since the demo scenes were forked so long ago, it's hard to update demos with all the new changes when the team is working on finalizing the game. This demo was originally made for Tribeca (and our last one was for PAX East) all the way back in March! So a lot of bug fixes, audio, and polish are missing.We know some players are frustrated by this so we really apologize for the inconvenience, but don't worry, the final game will have full keyboard functionality! The demo requires a controller to play.And the asteroid finally makes its introduction! 😱 While there isn’t rhythm gameplay in this demo, there are two minigames. This demo features the end of Episode 1 as well as the first five scenes of Episode 2.In that demo, there were two rhythm gameplay sequences and one minigame. Our first demo premiered on Steam for LudoNarraCon 2023 and featured the first 4 scenes of Goodbye Volcano High.Some notes on this demo for those who didn’t play it when it came out! Coming off Tribeca and Steam Next Fest, we wanted to keep our demo up so that anyone who missed out gets a chance to play it!

A little update as to the GVH store page.
