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

[Sir Joahim Browinson III]

Alex is probably going to write shitty trope-fus as rivals. I mean Osana is already the classic "modern tsundere". I don't have any expectation that the game isn't going to go above meme status.

Honestly, they are already seem to be a bunch of one trick ponies. I wouldn't compain if that was indeed a true high school maniac simulator, but Alex clearly aims for a big plot (even if it's compleetely redundant for everyone, except his silly fandom), so standarts are quite hightened.

The drop continues, who knows, the recovery might not make it back to above 2000$ anymore.

the real root of his recent depression.

Is yandev really care about the tardbux? He lives with his parents and they seem perfectly happy to keep providing for him. He always seem like the kind thriving on recognition rather than money to me.
As far as I know I've never seen him whining about money to his fans, like say dsp for example.

I'd personally say it's less about Alex, and more about concern for those who are getting scammed, funding him for a game with a slow development cycle and bad game design choices. It dropping is a small victory, the more people pull out the less people are throwing money at a bad project that will likely never see the light of day in a finished state.

Plus his Patreon mentions that if it goes under 1k he will have to seek freelance work; he would have to find an actual job. I'm interested to see that happen.

But that would only be the case if he didn't save any of the money at all. I mean I can't deny that he's fucking retarded but even if he hasn't saved any money, he could have saved enough money to not have to worry about literally anything for the rest of his life. You would think that it might not be that extreme but usually you're gonna spend more money on kids than anything else and seriously I can't even bring the thought of him having kids without laughing out loud

And yeah he has made easily more than 300.000$ (it's definitely much more) and unless you buy expensive shit all the time you're not gonna spend all of that

EDIT:Well what the fuck I didn't write "exceptional" but I suppose that's a thing here for some reason? Anyways it's the R-word (jesus christ)

 

[IceGray]

Thing is, we know he's willing to whale out on things we find unreasonable, like Saltybet or trying to purchase sites that criticize him.

 

[The Reaper]

You'd think that a guy called EVAxephon would find tsunderes more appealing. One of the main characters of EVA is a tsundere. Asuka is probably the most well-known, very blunt, tsun in the history of the archetype.

>asuka
>appealing

Jokes aside I'd be willing to put money on Alex being a Rei fan. If you ever want to explore a truly unique place I'd suggest lurking for an /a/ thread on Eva. Never have I seen a group of people so entrenched in their opinions and bitter towards others than Asukafags vs. Reifags. It even became a joke in the /a/ subs of the first episode of Eva:


People to this day fight over which girl is better with Asuka fans calling Rei a piece of cardboard with tits while the Rei fans call Asuka a bitch who would fuck another guy if she thought it would get her closer to getting your seed. Someone else recently said he hated Asuka. I wouldn't doubt he just hates tsunderes in general and that's why he made the first rival one. Conceptually the idea of liking Rei is similar to liking a person who is a blank slate and allows you to project upon them. I think this sounds like something Alex would do given his use of self-inserts. Might explain why he chooses to make Osana seem so unappealing.

It seems as if Adolfin lurks Kiwifarms. She posted this around three or four hours after I made my post; give-or-take an hour before I made this edit. Due to the timing and the sheer amount of similar terminology she uses, I fail to see this as anything but an almost direct quote.

Wanted to point out that smeone even called her out for it, and she plays dumb, acting like she never heard of such a website called keeweefarms.

He got half of that from patreon alone if we go by the posts he makes every year as proof that he's not scamming people.

Doubt.

But that would only be the case if he didn't save any of the money at all.

We're talking about a man who spent 3k on a fucking subreddit.

Since nothing is happening right now, what do you say we debate about around which percentage of the game is finished ?
I'd say at least 3% right ?

10% at best, and even that would only be if Osana was implemented since she's one of ten rivals.
So perhaps around 3% is realistic since she isn't even the game, after 6 years.

All the other side shit he's added, like clubs and the street, are unnecessary for that core gameplay.

I'd say, that your approach is wrong. To know how much of it is ready requires to know what's the final product should be like and Alex has no fucking idea about that, beyond his "it's like Hitman and Persona and has anime inside and you can see panties" takes. Basically, he is not even on the point one, because if you don't have end goal, you can't finish. And all his "all rivals are in the game" bullshit doesn't matter, he can squeeze their models into the game right now, but that's not going to turn this crippled sandbox into fully functional and playable game.

 

[Sir Joahim Browinson III]

I don't think completion percentage can be used in this case.
Currently Yandere Simmulator is more like a pile of trash that keeps growing as Alex adds more and more shit on it, holding all of it together with duct tape and bublegum, hoping he will somehow manage to polish the turd, if he ever decides to.
The pile will keep growing with questionable features and easter eggs but will never progress towards finish line.

Just remember the golden rule for estimating development time:
The first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts for the other 90 percent of the development time.
Anyway, you need to look at the project from various sides:

• you can estimate the completion of the story by looking at (the lack of) Osana, so this part is done at about 5-8%. This is also the easiest one to estimate.
• then there's the actual gameplay, which I think is at least done enough so that nanny youtubers can dick around in the game, so maybe 20%? Maybe 10% or even 5% if he adds tons of new elimination methods.
• then there's all the incidental stuff, like savestates, UI, cutscenes, etc.; I'd give it 15%, 30% if he doesn't plan a UI overhaul and sticks with plain black text on plain pink backgrounds
• then there's 3D models and textures. If he considers them placeholders and is planning to replace them, then it's 0%, if he's not, then it's hard to estimate, as I don't know how many new models he's gonna need, but let's be generous and say 15%
• then there's making the game engine actually work and not give Jay any new glitch material. This is Alex, it'll never be done. A permanent 0%. Although many popular games are glitchfests, see Skyrim, so this might be actually less important than some people think, as long as the entire game doesn't collapse under a pile of glitches.
• and finally, there's designing fun challenges for people to overcome. Again, this is Alex. 1%, and that's only because mopping up the blood is there.

It averages to about 5%-12%. Since it took 6 years to get there, it'll take another 40-100 years to get to 90% and then another 46-106 years to finish the game.
You know what it means? Yandere Simulator can come out as soon as 2106! Hype!

Rei vs. Asuka

The correct choice has always been Misato.

I will forever believe that Adolfin is an idiot, but I do feel that people are clutching at straws when taking issue with her art posting.

Realistically, the extent of the issue should be that she posts art without posting the exact source of where the art came from, because she only credits the artist and most users on that subreddit are too lazy to bother looking up the name because it requires additional effort on their part. Without her taking appropriate care to direct traffic to where it should go, it can come across as Karma-whoring.

But I've seen some daft arguements from users about it, like how apparently she's meant to ask for an artist's permission before posting their work, which is laughable. An artist that posts their work to a public platform shouldn't require permission for their art to be posted elsewhere, because it is public. It is unwritten etiquette of the internet for people to post the source of where the art came from, which directs traffic to them. In a lot of cases, if art is unsourced it gets posted by someone else, and/or the user is chastised for not doing so. Obviously it depends on the community, some are more lax about it than others, but it's incredibly unrealistic for an artist to expect the entire internet to specifically ask them if they can post their work.

I feel that people who find issue with her because she's doing literally anything related to posting art completely miss the point.

Yeah, there’s been a shift in discourse recently that has gone from “credit artists/directly link to their page” (which I wholeheartedly agree with) to “obtain permission from the artist before posting their art anywhere” (which I think is unrealistic). Like you said, it’s silly for artists to expect the entire internet get their permission to repost their art when they themselves posted it publicly.

You should credit/link to the artist, because that’s just common decency and it’s shitty to steal someone’s art and not credit them so they can get exposure. But I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect people to get someone’s permission every single time you want to share something. There’s also the issue of language barriers (especially with anime/manga fanart, as a lot of artists are Japanese).

In my opinion the game is 0% done because if it never comes out (which it how things seem to be going) then it's not really done at all.
In a technical sense that's not true, of course. However if he gives up before any rival is properly implemented then it really would be close to 0%, since all it is now is some weird sandbox that doesn't resemble his grand plans at all.

Effectively 0%. It might seem like he's accomplished *something*, but his code architecture is fundementally broken. What he's doing is the coding equivilent of trying to renovate a crumbling wooden shack into a mansion without just tearing down the shack altogether. If there's to be actual progress on the coding front, the code has to be scrapped and completely rewritten. The only true work that he's done is actually planning the mechanics and lore, but there's just too much bloat there. As it turns out, 20000 lines of if-else statements aren't exactly sustainable. If only there was an accomplished game developer who told Eva this a decade ago.
