I wouldn't call his vague plans of a "Hitman but like my favourite anime" a great idea.

From an artistic value it wasn't a "great idea" but from a business perspective it was. "Play as anime trope character in anime trope school environment" I knew at least 3 or 4 people who wanted to buy this game when they first heard about it like 5 years ago. It was one of those ideas that just anyone can have and can get rich off of. Kind of like FNAF.

It's ironic, because maybe if he was a more decent and sensible human being

But then what would we laugh at?

Alex could win an award for the most awkward and synthetic description of fetch quest ever. Holy fuck, everything he writes sounds so unnatural.

He also apparently doesn't know how to use commas.

They sound like the procedurally generated garbage quests that games generate to pad content. Even a random comment from the npc in-character based on their like/dislike of you with a tag for what they want would be better.

What's the point of completing those quests and joining the gang?

Other than getting close to the Delinquent rival I have no idea. Supposedly you can intimidate students to do what you want but it just drops your reputation which cannot go up if you are in the delinquent gang.

 

[psuedonarrative]

Honestly, in terms of story and characters and the proper use of the Yandere formula, I was thinking Alex would use the "1980s mode" or whatever its called to hammer some of that home as the idea and ties of Ayano's mom to the supposed mysteries seemed a lot darker and more akin to what you would expect in a game like this. Have no idea if that mode is still a thing or if he will implement that side plot more into the main story, but that aspect always seemed more appealing.

To stretch out his grift as long as possible and to keep the excuse his shit game is "pre-alpha" as long as possible. Both for money and ego's sake.

There's really no point in 1980s mode if he's already established in the lore that Ayano's mom only killed one girl.

I was rereading these. A better way of wording it could also be from Ayanos point of view.

"Umeji Kizuguchi wants me to bring him $100 because he wants to get rid of me. I bet he'd listen if I proved I could get it." Or something like that would have sounded more natural and less randomly generated.

Last I heard he was planning it on being after he finished the game. Not a sequel or prequel or anything...but like a Hard Mode kind of thing. But he needs to actually finish the game first.

I think 1980s mode shouldn't be a separate mode but a tutorial stage. Would make much more sense than his retarded "the drama club needs Ayano's help for a very convenient role that includes killing people in exactly the way Ayano is planning to do it later on" plan Alex had. Instead you now get some info dump on Ayano's parents, you get to stab some girl who's in a very convenient location, dispose of the evidence, get rid of the corpse and now you know the game's main mechanics. Considering 1980s mode is just a pallette swap without Info-chan, it should be an easy enough tutorial stage. Then just have a "20 years later" timeskip and you're playing as Ayano in high school.

Alex confirmed that she killed 10 girls, with the phantom girl being the one that sent her to trial

In short, the Journalist's tapes will be found at the locations where all 10 of Ryoba's previous victims met their fates.

That makes 80's mode even more pointless.

Ayano should just get advice from her mother. It wouldn't take up a lot of scenes (just night/morning phone calls or texts) and would make more sense, since Ryobas an actual yandere who got away with murder and has subtly "educated" daughter before.

Yeah, and we know she wouldn't turn in her daughter for kidnapping and torturing any students. Heck, that would be a pretty good tutorial for the first week. Or even get one or two notes on napkins. Getting some obscure tip in the morning based off of some choice of questions during breakfast you can ask and then another one on a napkin in a school lunch or something with another tip related to whatever you asked about. Then ones such as kidnapping you'd receive most of the help after bringing the victim home.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet (and I'm not about to go through 1600+ pages to find out), but has anyone mentioned the people who actively support Yanderedev like Kubz Scouts? There's no doubt that he knows what's going on considering how widespread the Yanderedev drama was on Youtube thanks to the official Discord Server, so I feel like that's something at least worth looking into.

It's been mentioned a couple times, but honestly there's not much to talk about. A majority of them have chosen to take a neutral stance and not comment on what's been happening, not denouncing Alex but not aggressively defending him either. I can see why they wouldn't openly take a stance on the situation, though. For a lot of them, YS is their best running series and brings a lot of new subscribers to their channels. Actively supporting Alexs actions wouldn't have a great return, but neither would openly condemning him, so their best choice has been to stay neutral and focus on the game, rather than its developer. While it's disappointing, I can honestly see why they'd go that route.

I honestly bet I (or anyone else) could design a better one with CSS or something. Wouldn't make a bad practice project.
The only thing is would he even add a better one?

Idk if its the way they're worded, but a lot of these are pretty tame for delinquents whose leader supposedly brutalized an entire group of students. It could be a call back to the counselor believing they're only faking, if not though this strikes more as 80s sitcom bully than an actual delinquent
