Funny how once competition shows, instead of working harder Alex just tries to destroy the other games.

 

[Kuroiwa]

I noticed that he hasn't addressed 505 games in any of the statements he made regarding the hacking, what do you think will happen?

He has infact breached (even if not willingly) the NDA he signed so i'm wondering if the company will pick the game up regardless if his Kickstarter actually is successful or if they will just give up due to the circumstances.

[for anyone new or that doesn't wish to backtrack, in the leaked emails the company wanted to start committing to his project only if the Kickstarter of August, {which at this point is going to be delayed even further} ends in positive results, until then they wanted to not be mentioned anywhere and he even signed an NDA over this, all of this info has been leaked along with the hack].

Alex is starting to get a little antsy after more and more tweens are starting to jumpship over to LoveSick

Lmao. Live by the flighty, retarded 10-year-old fanbase, die by the retarded 10-year-old fanbase.

I'm sure suing them into oblivion will improve your work ethic, Alex. Maybe Russell Greer will help you, since we know how you feel about having competent professionals on your team.

Edit: to reply to Litmus

The only reason yanderedev is so angry at this project is because they decided to announce it during one of his lowest points, where more allegations and discoveries came to light due to the hacking.
It also got way more traction than any of the others yandere sim derived games because of this reason.
Lastly, stylistically it's the one that most closely resembles what his own could have looked like if he put more care into it.

I don't know if I'm the only one here but I like the new look of the protagonist, it's a lot more anime-like and I think is a huge improvement.
The smaller eyes give the game a more serious and adult atmosphere, it's a common trope in anime and manga that the size of the eyes with regards to the face and the size of the head with regards to the body is negatively correlacted to the age of the target audience.
The graphics of the forniture, doors, floors, etc... also look a lot fresher and more realistic while keeping a somewhat cartoonish style IMHO.
Let's hope the SJW developers don't ruin it by adding some body positivity bullshit to the main character or some tumblr/calarts crap to the props.

Sorry if this was already posted but DrApeis has apologised for using animations.

Most comments are saying that he shouldn't have apologised.

I mean, isn't Lovesick technically an asset flip of an asset flip? Hopefully the Lovesick team eventually replaces the Unity store assets (like Ayano, for instance) with original models. Bonus points from me if they manage to do it before Alex even announces that there will be official new models for the characters, school rooms, trees, etc.

Speaking of replacing assets, it's way too late in the metaphorical game for Alex to replace the game's models in my opinion. It's been six years since YanSim started development and fans of it have this image burned in their minds of how the "final game" will look like. Chances are, if the models are ever changed, there's gonna be a shitstorm in the community because inevitably there's going to be pockets of fans who hate how the characters, for example, now look and other sets of fans who love the new look of the game. FFS Alex, you've already made merch for your shitty game that features essentially prototype versions of your characters.

Something else I hope to see from Lovesick is changing some of the shittier character designs, removing characters that only impede the game (looking at you, Raibaru...), and altering the shittier character names to something more authentic to Japanese culture. Some characters are huge doozies right off the bat, like the motherfucking Mystery Gang, for instance. I recommend that these characters and the photography club as a whole either be altered or scrapped as a whole. Alex obviously has a huge issue with the tone for the game. He constantly flip-flops between serious and humorous, and considering the subject matter of YanSim, I personally feel like approaching the names and designs of the characters more seriously will greatly benefit the game's image.

Going back to the topic of character design, I actually really liked some of the earlier character design concepts for Ayano, like this one for instance:

View attachment 1440933

Here, Ayano looks like much more of a recognizable character! Her present-day design just looks really generic and bland. She only barely stands out amongst the crowd of samefaced, rainbow-haired students. The player character must stand out in some fashion in order to successfully be able to be appealing, marketable material for the game.

Part of me wants Lovesick to succeed so it can actually pull off YanSim's original concept in a much better fashion, but another part of me feels like the full game is just never meant to be...

The majority of Yandere Simulator's original concept was vastly superior to the current bloated mess, but that's because most of the ideas came from /v/ and not Alex himself.
I would've loved it if Yandere Sim kept its simple but effective concept at the time, and didn't replace the simple but fun story with Alex's endless library of edgy backstories and bloated lore. But alas, /v/ chose the wrong incel to not fuck up such an easy task after spoonfeeding the instructions to him. Here's hoping Lovesick actually makes something of the momentum, support and hype they have at their disposal unlike their chalice-consuming predecessor.

Let's hope the SJW developers don't ruin it by adding some body positivity bullshit to the main character or some tumblr/calarts crap to the props.

There are no outwardly SJW developers I believe. There was just an SJW moderator who falsely claimed her tumblr OCs were lovesick characters and was banned from the discord for it shortly after.

I'm almost 100% sure that when his underage fanbase hears about something shiny and brand-new, they'll forget all about YanSim. Lovesick might be the "hottest new thing" in this case.

Didn't that one mod get kicked or banned from the Lovesick Discord group though?

yeah this game is going to get curb stomped by a lawyer. but I'm curious if yandev will stop there or if he's petty enough to pursue damages.

If the development of his game doesn't progress, his memes certainly do

[ｃｈｌｏｒｉｎｅ]

Was browsing the official YanSim subreddit again and found this post. (archive)

This post reminds me of that one post (that later on got deleted) made a few years ago by an actual Japanese person who also knew English that also suggested new names for some of the characters. I thought all of the renames in this particular post sound very authentic and are a lot better than the names that Alex came up with. Any thoughts from you guys?

By the way, I also noticed something very strange. I don't have a Reddit account, but only one out of four of the comments show up. Could the other three possibly be hidden or deleted? Who knows...

Yet another example of Alex being creepy towards his fanbase

Yet another example of Alex being creepy towards his fanbase

Oh my fucking God. He keeps insisting that his fans are all "of age", but we all keep seeing proof of the complete opposite. Even if his fans were all adults, this is still really creepy shit to be sharing with them. Almost all of the clips of his Twitch streams I've seen give me the same kind of feeling I get when I see a creepy message from him on Discord (like this one)...the overwhelming desire to take a damn shower.

 

[SIGSEGV]

Same, but at Auschwitz.

What Kickstarter is he talking about?

The Kickstarter is the whole reason he's been so desperate to control the narrative about him by censoring information like a wannabe dictator. "Gremlins" and "trolls" destroying his reputation isn't going to do good things for his Kickstarter campaign. Poor CumDev needs the extra cash as his Patreon continues to plummet.

Hate and Shame 2 is likely Alex's next scheme to pocket money from his desperate twelvie fanbase. If his monthly Patreon amount actually drops after the vid is released, I'd be very surprised. Then again, that's not taking into account whether Lovesick would've made any more significant progress by the time Hate and Shame 2 actually comes out.

Don't give Alex too much credit. He's not some Bernie Madoff level master manipulator. Hate and Shame 2 is just going to be duct tape patching on an already sinking ship in a last ditch effort by Alex to salvage what remains his reputation. He knows that damage control is all he can do at this point. Everyone can clearly see that the people hanging on to his Patreon are his most loyal supporters. The video is mainly targeted at those people, not really the general populace.

If this is just another coat of paint on the YandereSim school layout they'll be in trouble. Frankly, they should aim higher if they're serious.

Ideally they'd actually look at what they should keep and what they should remove. At the end of the day, people want to kill people in a cutesy setting. If they just added a decent physics system to throw shit like in Hitman and a rival to throw the stuff at, people would love it.

While he sprays fire into the void and tries to do as much damage as he can.
