You know, I've realized something. Sgt_Mark_IV accomplished more than YanDev, despite being a rather hated member of the DOOM community.

He was criticized for stealing assets, and for spaghetti code, and he was also banned from the ZDoom forums for telling someone to do an hero.

Yet he managed to release a whole bunch of big updates for Brutal Doom, and is now working on Vietnam styled mod for Doom, as well as his own game based on the GZDoom engine, Brutal Fate, where he makes all the code and assets by himself. All in less time than it took for Alex to work on YanSim.

And he has improved his coding abilities, so his code is not as spaghetti as it used to be. This shows that even if you are a disliked dev, you can still improve your skills and create something on your own without it being shit, and actually finish it.

And also he is a Brazilian chad, compared to the virgin 'Murican Alex is.

YanDev either has no idea what poverty is or is lying once again. Alex’s Patreon is making $1,626 a month. Being very generous and ignoring the fact that it’s been significantly higher these past SIX YEARS, that’s still over $19,500 annually. If we assume he works 40 hours a week (lmao) that’s an hourly wage of a little over $9.38 an hour. That’s not just above the poverty line, that’s over $2 above minimum wage in most states.

I know taxes are higher when you’re self-employed, but I’m not counting the money he brings in through Twitch and YT, so I feel like I’m being more than generous when I say Alex is a moron.

He's grifting off his parents in a mansion in california. He's a spoiled overgrown brat.

the best thing Alex could have done was the second he got his boost from all the YouTubers playing his neat sounding game was bust his ass making a popsicle and glue proof of concept and restarted development with a Kickstarter and a team, hell he could have even kept the patreon and claimed it was for the update video production. Within a year or two he should have just had a small test school with students with basic reaction styles and only few kills and how to clean up the aftermath and mainly the fucking main objective of a rival to show the basic game loop. The only problem is it Alex making it so of course that would have never happened cause he would first have to accept his code is bad or you know just be at all competent at anything.
Yandere dev has basically been feature creeping his tech demo for 7 years and is acting like all those mean ol' gremlins and time consuming waves of emails are the soul reason for it's development hell. At this point it just a wait to see how retarded his exit strategy will be cause theres a better chance of him making an osana sex doll then him actually putting her in the game.

These "I'll prove yanderedev wrong!" projects are pathetic, and they never work for a multitude of reasons.

Not only are these projects just falling into the same mindset as Alex's "I'll prove Mike Z. wrong!", but they're using mindless praise as motivation, again, just like Alex. The best route for these yandere simulator style projects would honestly be to just immediately distance it from Alex and his shitshow, and only announce it closer to the release date.

Though that'll never happen since his fanbase is retarded.

The problem with these projects is that the devs don't actually understand the fundamental flaws with Yandere Sim (aside from the dev himself obviously). Take this vid from DrApeis who is making the Love Sick knock off.

Examining Yandere Simulator: Part 2 - Gameplay Janks

Twitter: (@DrApeis): https://twitter.com/DrApeis?s=09 *The music in this video was changed due to reasons unspecified* In this video, you'll learn what a per...
www.youtube.com www.youtube.com

The video is titled 'Gameplay Janks' but it doesn't actually address any base gameplay. Rather, it nitpicks randoms bullshit like "why does the gardening club water the same flowers multiple times!", as if these tiny details actually affect the broader game meaningfully. This isn't to say none of DrApeis's critiques are valid, many of them are, for example, he points out poor path finding and robotic NPCs in an earlier vid. However, Yandere Sim is a retarded anime game which isn't taken that seriously. Consequently, a cringey story, minor inconsistencies, and nitpics are totally irrelevant to the broader experience. What matters is gameplay; how fun it is, and Yandere Sim struggles to be fun.

The biggest problem stopping Yandere Sim from being fun (besides the dev, obviously) is the gameplay of murdering someone. The stealth mechanics are okay, but the environment clashes with that stealth constantly. For example, the hallways are small, restrictive, and give very little room for actual stealth. The roof is probably the best area in this regard. Additionally, every murder plays out similarly (clean up blood, get new uniform from locker room, carry body and weapon to furnace), to the extent where you are (literally) filling out a checklist. The repetition mixed with poor stealth makes murder feel frustrating and tedious rather than fun and challenging.

This segways into the second biggest problem which is... every other killing method. While murder is tedious, there is actually depth. The player has to plan shit out and there is actually a bit of emergent gameplay. Every other killing method is scripted trash. The player buys a scheme from info and follows a checklist. That's it. Literally no depth at all. The larger killing methods like matchmaking, rival specific eliminations, and making senpai hate the rival, are also tedious and boring because of the third biggest problem.

Yandere Sim's world sucks. Visually, it's bland. Gameplay wise, there isn't much to do other than walk around. Students are boring to interact with. There is very little emergent gameplay. The RPG elements are so underdeveloped they might as well not exist. Overall, the game's environment just feels... empty. Despite being small as shit it feels like all that space is wasted.

Anyway, autistic rant over. None of the Yandere Sim knockoffs I've seen actually address any of those issues, which is pretty disappointing. My advice would be to make your OWN game. Change up murder mechanics, spice up stealth, abandon some mechanics (like photos and sanity) and replace them with your own. Make your game more than just a superior knock off, make it distinct.

In one of the messages to LoveSick's dev, he insinuates that he'd kill himself because of all the harassment and bullying and aww pity me Mr. LoveSick Dev!

If you are aware that your project is having so many destructive consequences on another person's life, how can you possibly continue? Don't you see how harmful and damaging this is for me? If the cost of Yandere Simulator was ending a person's life, I'd cancel development.

ETA: In way too many words, he's saying pretty much cancel your game or you're the reason i'll an hero myself because people are seeing through my smoke and mirrors
