This is lovely, thank you for playing ❤️
Graduating high school isn’t the end of the world… unless you’re a character in @ko-op.com's Goodbye Volcano High, in which case it very much is!

Find out why I really connected with this game about musical teenage dinosaurs in my latest article 🎸🦖

Dinosaurs and asteroids really need to work things out.

under-discussed aspect of living in 2025 capitalist society is the mental fatigue of being constantly inundated by scams. Watching my streaming service that ratcheted up the price and forced ads on me and having my scary movie get interrupted by a minute and a half of casino app commercials

it's so wild that there are millions of people out there who don't believe privatized healthcare is a fundamentally evil enterprise

This is probably one of the coolest things I never could've expected for a game we made. Really astounded and emotionally vibrating at seeing the love for GVH. 2 years later and I still can't believe we reached people in this way
It is our sincere pleasure to announce that the Goodbye Volcano High Fanzine is finally complete!
Check for the Itch page in the next post.
Thank you to everyone that contributed and supported this project! 🎸🦖☄️

Holy shit
After almost 2 years of work, it's DONE!
My tribute to a game that changed a LOT for me.
Made me laugh, cry, feel seen, and led to meeting amazing friends.
No word can describe how much it means to me, so I hope you enjoy the animation!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GVH!

I don’t know how to explain this but I always feel a profound sadness watching lots of cool games delaying because a black hole game just announced its launch date
