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

This is Saki Miyu with her brand new haircut, which was added in the last build... well, not exactly new. It's the one she had in the very first builds of the game.

Spoiler: First version of Saki Miyu

View attachment 1465787

Alex changed it for a twisted tails haircut in order to not make it obvious she was just a pale copy of Hatsune Miku. I guess he doesn't care anymore about that.

Spoiler: Saki Miyu before the last update

I wonder why he is putting so much emphasis on her, especially when he is not supposed so be working on Kokona anymore.

That scientist is actually another character entirely. I agree that Saki Miyu has a better, more "original" hairstyle now, though.

he was supposedly locked out and the admins stepped in to give him back the subreddit for some reason. he's also already trying to rally his fans to "post nice things!" on it, most likely an attempt to spam out the memes if he isn't already planning to delay development by another 3 months to delete that shit himself.

I don't know what he's expecting people to post positive comments about, he hasn't done shit for them to talk about. Nobody who's still in the subreddit gives a shit he got it back. The entire subreddit audience was one of three kinds of person. Gremlins, his Simps, and people who pop in once in a blue moon when they heard about a new update. The former group certainly ain't happy to have the reddit reclaimed, the latter all left to his other subreddit, and the third group missed the whole party, and still won't care to show up until he actually makes something worth their time.

Of course, I know the real purpose of that message isn't an actual question, he's just fishing for simps to clean up his mess on the subreddit and make it look good for him. He spends 36 hours a day reading emails about how to resolve merge conflicts to implement Osana, don't ya know.

New to the YanSim drama, though I recall Null or someone shitting on it on stream a while back. It looks like the game has a lot of procedural generated characters and I don't get why, it's just a school after all so there's no need for a ton of characters and a ton of variety. Just seems like it'd be computationally more efficient to just have a set list of characters for the class and clubs and then just use the setting to justify not having 100s of procedurally generated AI walking around, let alone with a code as clunky as his.

It doesn't.

I find it extremely unlikely that Love Letters/Lovesick is going to ever be completed. From the get-go, there are already too many problems present, and the game having SJW developers is the biggest point that I believe will doom it to death. Drapeis apparently going by "They/Them" pronouns, the tumblr-tier artist with the past that is going to scare away most normalfags, and using a fucking discord server of all things to develop the game.
They could've made a subreddit or even a fucking board on one of the more esoteric imageboards, but they chose discord and ended up creating some strange shitposting/fan/development hybrid that breeds drama and procrastination on the mods part. They should've made two separate "rooms" (I don't use discord I don't know its terminology) to keep things organized. One for the fan posting and speculation, and another strictly for development and recommendations, so the developers can actually focus on the game instead of drama which is always rampant on those types of websites.
The fall of yanderedev provided a power vacuum that they were smart enough to use to advertise their own project, but other than that the game they've created adapts many traits from yandere simulator itself and doesn't appear to be anything spectacularly different or innovative, just what yandere simulator "should've been".

Another thing. Do people really expect the 10 rivals to fix the game? The environment is bland as fuck, the AI and depth of the game is superficial and very rough, and all-in-all despite its somewhat polished appearance, the game is very elementary in its creation. I can't imagine doing the same shit over and over again 10 times will be fun, especially in a world as limited as yandere simulator with its box-shaped school and minimal character development and no relationships whatsoever except for a few that have plot importance. As hard as it may be for yanderedev, I honestly believe completely trashing the school and rebuilding something with a much more realistic and diverse environment instead of "Box school surrounded by box fence with 2D tree textures outside" is the best thing that could be done right now for the game.
Despite what people say about the easter-eggs being a waste of time, they have great importance, as they are what the youtubers reported on the most. It has been the sandbox nature of this game so far that has been a selling point on youtube and other platforms since an actual story and antagonist doesn't exist in its world yet. People are absolutely bound to be disappointed when they play it for themselves.

Randomly generated students would have little to no impact on the game's performance; all that would do is slightly increase the initial load time when starting a new game. The game's technical shortcomings lie elsewhere; the clunky code mostly serves to make adding new things to the game or troubleshooting bugs rather difficult and insanely time consuming.

 

[Scarred Platypus]

@lewdwig van beethoven, you got one post about you in r/yandere_simulator! (archived since I don't know the extent of Alex's censorship)

Wow, TIL r/Osana was actually kiwifarms the entire time, thank you le…

Not really relevant, just drama between subreddits, but since someone from here was mentioned, I thought at least I would bring it up here.

I'm not sure randomly-generated students would be a good idea considering the desires of the fanbase. A large appeal of yandere simulator is its sandbox nature, and regarding publicity, youtubers making videos about different clubs and game mechanics. Granted, the games diversity is superficial and not very well thought-out, but it existing in the first place is something that keeps people around. Imagining yandere simulator as a hitman game or watchdogs with NPCs that have no background whatsoever doesn't seem like it would be fun, especially considering that the having rivals as they exist now would require the player to spend multiple weeks within the school, interacting with the same environment and the same characters.
Random generation could work for some students, but I don't see it as something that would be good for most of the game except for the few characters that act as filler (Which shouldn't exist in the first place considering that this game should have a social aspect with the player learning the social dynamics and networking of the world and using this to his/her advantage).

Bit rarted given that r/Osana got a bit of praise even from the children in Alex's echo chamber for "supporting the fandom" or whatever. I hope it leads to more juicy bullshittery but it probably won't.

Out of curiosity, does someone know what are the subscriber only channels in YS Discord? I assume Alex hangs there mostly. I would rather not give him any money to know.

Not sure if it's been posted already, but I cant find an answer since the question was asked, so Im going to say no. DiscordChatExporter lets you see the names of every channel in the server. Sadly, you cant actually export them if you don't have access to them, but its atleast an outline of what's there.

Sounds normal enough, but its too early to know how things are going to turn out.

 

[DickMain]

I'm sure that this won't result in another wave of unfunny redditards flooding the thread.

We could abandon the thread to them, start a new one, and cultivate a new breed of Yandrecow here at home. Though, I'd rather them not think themselves free range and shit up the rest of the place.

I don't recall this being posted before. Not very interesting but, y'know, for the sake of following the thing.

"I got the subreddit back, but nobody has begun to post any positive content yet."

This just sums Alex in a single image.

"We're banning people and deleting critical posts as we speak, you may continue to stroke my huge throbbing ego in the subreddit I paid 3grand for, my precious Fuck Kittens."

 

[TheBlueMagicalGirl]

I'm still not banned from the Yandere Simulator sub.
Those were 18 days quite peaceful and good while they lasted, but now Alex is back and shit is going downhill again.

 

[Brick Face]

What the hell did I expect?
Another collab w/ Boobs in the City.

EDIT: Some positive news now,
witcherries/seekndestroy is now part of the Love Letter team.

 

[Sejfo]

How much did he pay this time to get the subreddit back?
Bonus if he paid reddit admins instead of whoever was running it this entire time.
