Funny thing is a lot of the questions YandereDev set up for the lore to answer either don't need to be answered at all, or have a much simpler way to answer them.

"Why does every teacher know Martial Arts?"

Considering how the School has a Martial Arts Club, you could just use the excuse that they learned Martial Arts from visiting there a few times (Hell Alex even said that Raibaru was very willing to teach anybody when she was the club leader). That or just say they used to train at a Dojo that recently closed down or something.

"Why does the Headmaster hate children?"

I don't know if Alex knows this, since he was home schooled for most of his life, but it's fairly common for the principal or headmaster of a school to be a complete curmudgeon who despises children. That really doesn't need an explanation.

"Why do the police not do through investigations?"

Also doesn't need an explanation, people can just accept this through "Video Game Logic". Nobody questions why when you beat up a Drug Dealer in Grand Theft Auto, you don't see the police doing a through investigation and eventually showing up to your house with a warrant for your arrest. Besides, his reasoning for it is terrible anyways.

"Why does the Headmaster have a Stun Gun?"

Just say that he is either extremely paranoid, and/or he is extremely protective of himself. Either way, it's a simple answer that also adds a bit to his character. The same answer could apply to the Katana.

"Why aren't Ayano's parents around"

It's a common anime trope to have teenagers live by themselves, doesn't need an explanation.

The only questions I could think of, but couldn't think of a very simple answer too are the following:
"Why does Megami know who Ayano is?"
"Why is there a ghost in the girl's bathroom?"

To be honest, both of those factoids could just be removed. The former would actually make Megami a bit more believable of a character and a bit less of a Mary Sue, and would still make sense for a playthrough where you are killing everyone (I think it's reasonable for somebody to bump up security in an area where they know a lot of people are going missing and/or getting killed). The later should have happened anyways (Alex stop pretending you own Fun Girl).
I mean, let’s be real, there didn’t need to be a ghost in the bathroom. It doesn’t do anything except add supernatural elements to an allegedly “serious” crime game. Though the sheer amount of anime tropes kill any of the seriousness it could have she had(notice how even the serious anime’s tend to avoid using tropes outside of intentionally comedic scenes used to give the audience a breather?).
I’m starting to think this massive lore is just there to give him excuses to not finish the game

Agree. And his laugh is unbearable.

Is there anything not creepy about him? He literally sounds like a nasal pedophile, his fetishes are exposed in all their creepy glory, his face is as unfortunate as they come, his arms are disgustingly hairy, he’s pale as a ghost, he clearly suffers from some sort of mental illness and depression, he’s a massive collection of red flags

C’mon, new update of Basu sisters routine and dialogue clearly shows they are not from this world and are not humans. Plus a fucking demon dimension you can access from occult club. And this super duper tech corporation that hides supernatural elements from regular people... There’s clearly mystical shit in lore not as some easter egg, but as a serious part of the world.
I won’t be surprised if main plot twist will be that women with “yandere genes” are some supernatural goddess.

I disagree, I think the ghost could've been a genuinely good easter egg if Alex kept her hidden. The ghost girl didn't need to be mentioned anywhere else and if he was going to go through with DLC (Heaven forbid) she could've been a surprising rival.

Someone finished Osana before Alex...

The dialogue is so stupid, you can really tell Alex doesn't have any friends and doesn't speak to anyone besides his fanbase.

He could have pulled a Gaster and have her as an intentionally cryptic secret for the fans to sperg over.
 
For all the harping on if/elseif/elseif statements people do, I feel obliged to point out that just changing it to a C# switch statement might not even do anything performance-wise.

If the cases are all integers that are "close enough" together, the compiler can emit a jump table, but in the general case a switch statement will still be encoded in MSIL/assembler/whatever as a bunch of if-else instructions. And if the cases aren't integers it'll have to be if/else under the hood just like it would be in C.

In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the original source code did use switch statements, which compiled down to if/else, and that's what you see when you decompile it. That would also explain why the Youtube guy did find a couple of switch statements in the code - the ones that use the actual MSIL "switch" opcode for a jump table decompile back into C# switch statements and the rest don't. Someone with more experience with decompilers can probably fact-check me on this.

Point being: this code needs a redesign of the data structures, not just prettying up.
 
I honestly don't find his voice nice at all, he sounds creepy. It's like he has to articulate perfectly every word

And of course, his personality makes it worse.
Initially I thought he was using a text-to-speech thing, then I assumed he was acting to give his dev videos some character, like wouldn't it be fitting if the creator of a yandere simulator sounded like one of those creepy pasta narrators? Except he is an actual creep and he's either being condescending or it's a natural sped voice.
