We have an important update for you regarding Goodbye Volcano High’s release date. After assessing our production schedule for GVH, we’ve made the decision to move our launch to August 29, 2023. 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...[not enough characters. full plain text version available at the Notion link in the tweet, sorry]

ALT Light grey graphic bg with all text in black. Header: Goodbye Volcano High. Subheader in lighter text: Delay Announcement. Body copy centered text: Ok, so... about this! Kinda goes without saying but making games during a pandemic is hard? In addition to Global Events™️, 2020 saw us rebooting the narrative of our game (you can read more about that below). Those two factors have delayed our release timeline. So we are making what we're sure is by now an expected announcement: Goodbye Volcano High will be a 2022 title, not a 2021 one. It's been a really hard year for many reasons, and the mental and physical health of the team has to come first. We don't want to crunch, and we don't want to put ourselves in stressful situations to finish the game by 2021 when we can take a little more time. So ya! That's that! Band-aid ripped! We love the community that we've fostered through developing Goodbye Volcano High (No space for the additional text, please see link in tweet for text only!)
