In the rare event that Alex's lolsuit is upheld and actually goes to court, it will be one of the most pathetic and embarrassing cases the U.S. justice system has ever faced. How would he pay for lawyers anyway? E-beg to his few remaining paypigs?
Imagine being a lawer and taking the case about some some peeps stealing weaboo fetish game concept from some old ass manchild. I would really reconsider my life choices.
 
>Half-Hitman & Half-Persona

Ok, this is the pinnacle of desilusion as his pure form? Because i'm literally thinking about this.
The next shit coming of his hands/mouth will be Half-Yakuza & Half-Metal Gear to appeal more fucked up people like him, no doubt.
PD: Don't tell me about the cover song, it's insane, just like Chris.
 
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?
Like people have said before, any generic Japanese name sounds a lot more authentic than whatever Alex came up with because the majority of names are the equivalent of Shitty Wok-type pronunciations of English words or Japanese words. Imagine meeting a person named Childhood Friend or Awesome Perfect, and you've got half of the game's cast, which is why anyone that could Google "Japanese baby names" will produce more authentic names.

This has been bothering me for so long now.

The whole "The game is HALF HITMAN, HALF PERSONA" Argument doesn't really make sense to me now that I gave it more than just 10 seconds of thought.

The whole point of Persona is it's two halves of very different games. It's half VN/Social life sim etc, half dungeon crawler RPG. Both have very rich depth.
The Persona comparison also falls short considering the series treats itself seriously for the most part, and tries to present a story realistically within the rules of its universe. The current "vision" for YanSim is the complete opposite of realistic, mostly thanks to Eva's attempts at trying to explain glaring issues in a "realistic" way. The explanation for why the police don't go into Info-chan's room has more spaghetti than an Italian restaurant.

So much of Yandere Simulator is ripped directly from the later Persona games (because Persona starts at 3 (:_() but doesn't achieve the same effect because of everything else around it. The most obvious example is that the later Persona games take place over nearly a year and not just 10 weeks with a rival popping into existence every week. In Persona, characters are introduced briefly and then may not appear regularly until they become more relevant to the plot, but you know they're still around. YanSim rivals are completely missing until it's their week and then they don't matter to the "plot" because they've been taken care of. It feels so artificial and more like a Monster of the Week cartoon as opposed to a ~super srs story~. It's hard to create a serious, character-driven narrative when all the characters are inconsequential and the player character is introduced as what is basically a sociopath anyway. What does it matter if the Music Club rival is the 1st or 3rd? Does the student body as a whole really care if Osana is expelled? Is there a difference if you have Konnichiwa Kawaii kill a rival for you instead of Samassu Aranu? You can't even attempt to emulate Persona when most of the characters don't matter because the attention to characters is the reason why the series is distinct from mainline Shin Megami Tensei. And yet Eva tries anyway. The idea behind Yandere Simulator and its gameplay as it is largely incompatible with a possible serious story. You'd have to change so many elements of the game to make it work well with a serious plot without coming off as a total joke that you may as well scrap the current game entirely

On top of being an unfunny joke, Fred is basically Bebe, Megami is the daughter of a super rich family that owns the prestigious school the player attends just like Mitsuru, the leaked phone UI concepts were just like Persona 5's UI, and while the day changing animation is generic, it reminded me immediately of Persona 3 and 4's animation.

I'm certain there's more, but this is just off the top of my head. I'm surprised that there aren't more overt Persona references in the game already
 
The game's mechanics are also complete garbage and poorly designed. My favourite example for Alex' complete incompetence is the bodyguard of Osana, Raibaru, the invincible, not distractable god watching the easiest rival 24/7 and destroying you, if you try to kill Osana.

Alex' excuse for this is, that in the Hitman franchise, you as the player, are not able to just run to the target, stab him and escape. The only problem with this is, that this statement is completely wrong. If the player wants, he can do the exact thing and the game won't stop you from doing that, even though this is not the recommended way to play. It's just dumb stating that this is impossible while showing footage of the easiest Target I can think of to just stab and run.

The actual competent devs of Hitman prevent players from doing these kind of cheesy kills by giving the guards guns, which do absloutely no damage, if you just run away and, most importantly, make multiple targets in one map / mission so the player has to do another challenge in the environment previously created.

Not home rn, so I'm not able to record footage of Hitman, showcasing the described

One of the other things I'm hoping that Lovesick axes (or at least heavily changes) is the godawful lore in YanSim. As many others have pointed out, Ayano seems more like a kuudere with a blood lust than a true yandere. If the Lovesick team rewrites their new protagonist as more of a yandere, then they'd be on the right track. Also, the whole fucking "yandere bloodline" thing is so damn cringy and doesn't even make sense. Any other pieces of lore (like the whole Saikou corp thing) rips off shit from much better pieces of media.

Also, I want them to give some more life to Taro (well, whoever will replace him in Lovesick). He's a bland piece of cardboard in YanSim. Why does the protagonist love him so much? Why does she want specifically him over anyone else? Lovesick needs to fix this glaring issue in YanSim by showing the player why the protagonist loves him so much instead of how YanSim "tells" us why Ayano loves Taro.

The new protagonist in Lovesick has a generally cute design, but there's some anatomical issues (specifically with the ankles and feet). At least she stands out way more than Ayano does.

I'd assume the anatomical errors are more due to artistic skill and thus won't be in the final 3D model. (Just like how Ayano and co are drawn with chubbier thighs in the concept art when compared to the model).

I think Taro being a cardboard would have been fine as a jab at Harem animes having equally bland MC's most of the time, but because Taro is probably Alex's self insert and his animes are a holy cow, he can't do it as a joke. To iirc, Alex said in the past that Taro would be able to be customized (and even have his gender swapped so Alex can masturbate to lesbian murder porn), and i have to admit, being able to have "Senpai" be a Ralph Bluetawn like abomination would almost make this game be worthwhile, just almost to.

Edit: spelling.

That makes me curious...I wonder if Lovesick will also give the player the option to customize their equivalent of Taro and swap his gender, or if they'll just replace him with an uncustomizable character.
 
Who wants to bet Hate and Shame 2 becomes the new "Osana" that keeps getting delayed whenever Alex needs a cash injection or decides he can't live up to expectations.
That'd be really disappointing because, as I've mentioned earlier, I'm looking forward more to Hate and Shame 2 than the actual damn game at this point. It's always really funny to see Alex try to make up excuses as to why he's so lazy, how all the drama surrounding the game began, and why he did the shit he did in the past.
 
It seems that in an effort to keep Alex at bay, the game owner here will use any method possible.
Once the drama started, he sent out that apology video and defended his intention multiple times.
Now this, contacting Alex and pacifying him. It's a good move to completely stave off the incel wrath and angry kids raiding the server, but it's so fake. Shouldn't have to bow down to this man.

That was a mistake. Alex has his foot in the door now.
 
Honestly, this all just further inflates his ego. In alex's head, he's 'won' and made them submit under his foot.

Let's be real, egos are why every other YandereSim clone has failed. @NewYandereDev being a great example of an ego before substance. Everyone is making it to prove they're better than Alex, and hate alone isn't enough to get a game out.

If they just give Alex lipservice and fuck him up with regards to updates and getting a product out the door, then that's a better play than actively antagonising the guy. Also, adding more stuff to the students is good, the YandereSim students suck balls.
 
So first we have that half-assed l33t h4x0r that blew his load all over the board about getting into Alex's email account rather than laying low for a while and extracting what juicy stuff he could. And now we have this lazy game dev who blasts out how they made a YanSim clone in just two weeks but had to do it with stolen assets and is now backtracking like a lost skier and trying to buddy up to Alex after being called out on it.

Alex doesn't deserve haters this stupid.
