The new Goodbye Volcano High narrative team comes from Sweet Baby Inc. While discussion of the narrative reboot doesn’t explicitly mention the controversy surrounding Gray, she does not appear to be writing on the game anymore, and the timing of seeking a new narrative team for Goodbye Volcano High lines up with its June 2020 announcement and subsequent controversy. It was initially met with some controversy due to writer Kate Gray’s history with a controversial article on Kotaku that included pornographic depictions of fictional characters who were minors ( link to former Kotaku EIC Stephen Totillo’s apology for the article). Goodbye Volcano High, a narrative anime drama about a group of dinosaurs, was first announced at a PlayStation showcase in June 2020. We love making this game and we’re lucky we have a chance to make it! We really appreciate you and your support. Thank you to those who have been supporting us since day one and to those who have joined us along the way. We love the community that we’ve fostered through developing Goodbye Volcano High, and we hope it isn’t too much of a bummer to have to wait a little longer for the dino drama. 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. It’s been a really hard year for many reasons, and the mental and physical health of the team has to come first. 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. Those two factors have delayed our release timeline. In addition to Global Events™️, 2020 saw us rebooting the narrative of our game.
