Thank you so much for your understanding - we can’t wait for you to play what we’ve been working on. Soon, we’ll be premiering another public demo and we hope you’ll all have the chance to check it out. We need a bit more time to make sure all that work really shines! We’ve been so honored to hear such a positive response to our demo. GVH is a really special project for us and everyone on our team has done incredible work on this game. I know this isn't the easiest thing to hear-it is a difficult thing for us to do. This delay also moves our launch date out of a very busy June release calendar, opening us up to more incredible opportunities, and gives the game a greater chance of success. 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. Goodbye Volcano High is a queer narrative adventure game created by a diverse team: one of the key pillars of the studio.Īfter assessing our production schedule for GVH, we’ve made the decision to move our launch to August 29, 2023. The team is also excited to welcome actor Lachlan Watson ( Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) who will lend her voice to Fang, the game’s playable protagonist. Will they find time to figure themselves out? Can they balance navigating a changing world with a budding romance? During hard times, what do we owe each other? Goodbye Volcano High is a cinematic narrative adventure about the end of an era… and the beginning of a love story. But they’re about to have much bigger problems. Considering the game has been confirmed to be a narratively-driven rhythm game, this is all the more important.Fang is a typical 18-year-old dinosaur: they’re more concerned about their band going viral than they are about what happens after graduation. I was immediately drawn in by the mellow, complex soundtrack (they have two songs from the game on Bandcamp) composed by Dabu, who also composed Dwarf Fortress, and featuring vocalist Brigitte Naggar. The game centres on the band Worm Drama and its members in their final year of high school: nonbinary vocalist Fang, guitarist Trish, and drummer Reed, as well as other members of their school. Made by worker-owned game studio KO_OP, Goodbye Volcano High looks like a game that’s incredibly in touch with internet culture (dril tweet in the trailer, not joking), while exploring queer narratives… and also featuring anthropomorphic dinosaurs. Despite having been announced at the PS5’s reveal in 2020, we’ve heard very little about Goodbye Volcano High since – until today’s State of Play, when we finally got to see a trailer with some gameplay, and a June 14 release date for PC, PS4 and PS5.
