Cultcow EvaXephon / Yanderedev / Alex Mahan / Alexander Stuart Mahan / cannotgoogleme - Edgy weeaboo coomer with pedo tendencies and 15+ years internet history as a lolcow, now known as a disaster developer behind eternal debug build called "Yandere Simulator", confirmed groomer and dollfucker

[Ashtar]

People like Alex aren't a rare find. People who fap to animus all day, play video games all day, have no friends and complain they don't have a significant other.

What I find amazing is he created a very shittily built video games and created a whole fan base where people worship him. Even though he bashes his fan base for being 12 they're the ones who create those stupid YS memes and watch his streams.

On another note, I just remembered a stream of his I watched sometime last year when I was still a fan of the game. I remember him telling his fans jokingly that they should only watch his videos and go to his websites. It was a joke, but I remember a lot of the girls were squealing that they were turned on by daddy dev. I don't think those girls were any older that 15.

And lastly, I really like the games tinybuild puts out. Why in the hell would they partner up with a guy who uses stolen assets and writes spaghetti code.

watch his videos

I would but Eva only uploads once a month, and usually nothing of interest and rarely a progress report now 'n days.

Spaghetti code is exactly why YanDev went to Tinybuild. He's counting on the fact that Tinybuild will rewrite and refactor the code for him in order to save him from the code mess he's in. Genius if you think about it. All the credit, none of the work.

It'd be great if the very title of Yandere Simulator was some weeaboo bullshit, but that's not the case at all. "Yandere" is a real character archetype that's just as big in Japan as it is in America; that is, well-known by anime geeks and pretty much no one else. It was first coined to describe School Days, a bait-and-switch visual novel that racked up controversy for selling itself as a romance and hiding the fact that the main girls were violent stalkers.

Alex has been fapping to anime in his parents' basement for at least ten years now, so it's kind of a given that he has decent knowledge of anime tropes. The problems lie in how he doesn't distinguish anime from reality, doesn't do any extra research on Japan outside of anime, and doesn't seem to have any deep sense of design beyond parroting superficial labels (e.g. constantly changing his definition of "yandere", shoving a bunch of clashing elements together in his character designs).

Having Googled around a bit, you're right. It is used in Japan, and it's a combination of "yanderu", insane, and "deredere", lovestruck, which are both more commonly used words.

I can easily believe it's as common in Japan as it it is in America, probably more so; I don't think they have any more cartoon spergs than America has, but they probably favour domestic stuff more over Steven Universe and whatever, though the term "anime" means any cartoon including Disney and MLP over there so the obsessives probably mix it up a bit. Given that the term's only known by a miniscule fraction of the US population, I guess a slightly less miniscule fraction of the Japanese population knows it.

I'm not really that much into cartoons in general from any country, though I don't outright hate them like some people do, just the spergs that obsess over them. I have noticed that a lot of weeaboos use unusual words or use them wrong, though. They seem to like calling themselves "Otaku", which is basically the Japanese equivalent of "neckbeard" or "sperg", and just means anyone who's obsessed with something. It could be trains; foamers like Len Shaner would get called railway otaku in Japan.

It was back in June of 2016 iirc. I think his content was slightly more regular than it is now, because now he's jacking off to anime-- I mean ummm implementing osana.

Ive heard the word "otaku" is a little closer to a geek. But like a geek in a bad way. as in someone who shells out cash on bullshit and doesn't leave the house. It's kind of like the "poop socking" gamer stereotype we have here in the west. So it's a lot like what you said. Anime in general is considered to be a little childish over there iirc. If someone watches anime it's not something they tell everyone they know. Someone like yandere dev would probably live on the fringe of society if he were Japanese.

 

[Pointless Pedant]

Neckbeard and sperg are basically geek in a bad way, though.

Some otaku do leave the house, especially the railway ones, who spend a lot of time trying to get perfect photographs of passing trains. They're just creepy weirdos with poor hygiene.

Cartoons are mostly for kids in Japan, just like in most parts of the world. Most of the cartoons that aren't aimed at kids air at about 2 AM, so obviously most people wouldn't watch them even if they wanted to for whatever reason. I think the general view of cartoon spergs is pretty similar to how we see our bronies and Steven Universe fans over here.

We all think Alex is a creep here, so they'd think the same there as well.

Yandere-kun looks like a slightly sexualized version of Senpai.

Alex would've made his self insert Senpai look like that by default if he knew how to make models or code.

That person tho, I wonder how many mechanics in the game Eva stole and didn't give credit for while getting all the praise for his thieving and spaghetti code.

Outlook: Not so good for Eva.

 

[AbduluCthuluZulu]

For someone who cant even get a girlfriend to get cucked, he sure thinks that word is really funny

I'm Surprised he didn't take a break from his cuckapella to try to slurp the big busty boobies right in front of him.

It was a joke, but I remember a lot of the girls were squealing that they were turned on by daddy dev. I don't think those girls were any older that 15.

That seems like the age range he's trying to depict himself "Senpai" being chased after by. I mean, the real question was whether he was replying to it in any way at all.

 

[Dysnomia]

The emetic poison is supposed to make Osana go throw up so you can eliminate her (or make Senpai throw up to make him dislike Osana). There's a different poison you can steal that will make Osana die.
You could make the whole thing more exciting by adding some complexity to the bentos - perhaps there's some sort of food that Senpai hates that Osana may or may not have made him and so sometimes they'll switch bentos and you can't just poison the blue one off the bat in case Senpai eats it and dies.

Why not just make Osana allergic to peanuts? That way you can't accidentally contaminate Senpai's food. The peanut dust would only harm Osana. It's like a heat seeking kill.

*edit* On second thought that's probably not a good idea. Osana would probably have one of those pens if she had such an easily triggered allergy. So Ayano would have to empty it or "misplace" it first. Too many steps. Too complex for Eva as well probably.

Let's be honest, though. If we're talking hypothetical ways to improve the game, then taking Eva into account is utterly futile because everything he touches turns to shit. We'd be better off hoping that one of the many "make YanSim but better" groups use our feedback to improve their output.

People keep going on about "anime tropes" in this thread, which I'm guessing means "tropes" as in the website TV Tropes rather than literary tropes like metaphors and analogies. I'm guessing those are things like the "yandere" and "tsundere"; they're archetypes or stock characters, not tropes, but it's not like TV Tropes cares what a trope is anyway. It's interesting to see how these things have coloured some people's image of Japan, not just Alex and his deluded followers but even some of the people watching him here. I've seen people in other threads implying that Japanese women cower in fear of rapists with soggy knees due to the existence of creepy cartoons, whereas in reality a woman can walk alone in most Japanese neighbourhoods at night without much concern, something which isn't even advisable in parts of western Europe these days, let alone in Chicago or St. Louis. The shitty meme that the age of consent is 13 so they're all paedos is basically bollocks. It is 13 at a federal level, but every prefecture (state) sets it at at least 16, the same as most US states. Most people think of cartoons as being for kids, and cartoon spergs are as socially rejected as they are anywhere else. People seem simply unable to accept that Japanese people are, by and large, fairly ordinary, and it's slightly unsettling.

The actual people who live in Japan are not unlike the general run of English people; that is to say, they are extremely commonplace, and have nothing curious or extraordinary about them. In fact the whole of Japan is a pure invention. There is no such country, there are no such people.

Guys, you are all mistaken! Below, there's an accurate depiction of the Japanese society:

[Ser Weeaboo]

... Shit, I wondered why people didn't like this guy. Now I know.

Going back several hundred pages on the nested if-else-if statements, I love how instead of trying to optimize his code for that, he opted instead to do the incredibly old-school trick of extremely close fog and subsequently shitty render distance.

Because, you know, trying LOD distance first was too much effort.

Alex is that u

I don't think even Alex is pathetic enough to come over here and try to explain himself. For all we mock him at least he's doing something that's sort of a job, unlike some of our lolcows.

And his game is still better than Brianna Wu's.

 

[MagneticTowels]

Eva goes SJW, but his inflection almost makes him sound jealous...

 

[IngusNSFW]

And his game is still better than Brianna Wu's.

Can someone verify this?
I never played Brianna Wu's game so I can't say, but I heard it doesn't lag as bad as YanSim.
