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

[Cowboy Christ]

In the year 1797...
Deep within the early United States, colonialists progress into the unknown expanses of the west...
148 years later...
WWII is brutally ceased with the United States dropping nuclear bombs on Imperial Japan... And then Saikou is born.
I'm honestly curious what "Lore" Alex could possibly have that takes place in fucking 1797.

"A knife, tainted with demonic blood, fell from the cosmos.

Some faggot found it in their rice field, cleaned it, put it in his kitchen, then that knife ended up getting passed down generations.

Until one troubled young girl picked it up."

 

[Banworld]

One thing that's consistent with Alex is the long paragraphs carefully breaking down his points while talking down to you like you're a child.

But I thought he put it all into a pot and gives himself minimum wage by choice?
It's at give-or-take 2k right now which I assume is roughly mimum wage where he is, and I assume he still has plenty of money to burn saved up in the pot since he can afford himself luxuries like a second Switch.
Has he been complaining about earning less than minimum wage recently? If he has, that might be where that ~$200 cash injection into his Patreon came from.

It's minimum wage in California, where he lives. The rest of the US is half that. Although, Alex lives with mommy and daddy I think, so unless he pays rent with utilities included, he really doesn't have any expenses beyond, I assume, Unity. If this is the case, Alex could make 0$ and still lose nothing from making YandereSimulator. This whole argument is totally disingenuous because most people subscribed to him probably wouldn't buy the game and many of them are people who just like to troll YandereDev. An 100% transition from interested parties to sales is a marketers incredibly messy wet dream. Also, his main demographic is teenage girls, who would be too young to buy the game, and probably don't have $20 to buy video games, or the PC to run it.

Most importantly, Alex wasn't always earning minimum wage, at one time he was earning three times that amount. It's perfectly reasonable to believe he did stretch out development because he was making 6k a month from it. That's 72k per year, which is above the average salary in California of around 63k per year. And the only reason he's not still earning this amount is because of his own foolishness and slow release schedule, so he can hardly pretend to be hard-done-by. He's not even earning minimum wage, the guy has deals with porn games, he has YouTube ad revenue and donations through Twitch, he's likely still earning a comfortable living.

He wouldn't even earn the amount of money he thinks he would from YanSim, it's a buggy mess that's easily reverse-engineered and cracked, even if loads of people bought it, Steam takes 30% and then California would take a good chunk of the rest. Then people would just pirate it, break it open and mod it to try and fix the game, like Skyrim. Only more irredeemable.

You need to add the donations and the money from subs on Twitch along with the revenue from Youtube plus the 30K he stole from TinyBuild.

Wasn't the $31k what he owed them, and he presented the possibility that he could "theoretically" use his YouTube sub count to slander them as an obvious threat to get out of it?

Theoretically, if I wanted to, I could upload a 20-minute video explaining to my audience of 2.4 million subscribers that tinyBuild has massively screwed me over and that no developer should ever work with them. I've had 15 months to do so, and I haven't done it, because I hate drama.

 

[Audioponics🎵⛲]

And you would not call that stealing 30k? He made the company spend 30k on his project, then booted them off the project. The company lost money and his project gained value. Sure he did not directly take 30k in $, but in he did take 30k in labour.

On the other hand that money was an investment, hence risky. They just made the wrong call on this one.
So yeah, its not stealing. Capitalism, ho!

Good point. Only really thought of it from direct monetary value, rather than labour.

And didn't Alex throw out most of that labor's fruits, anyway? He said that he "couldn't understand the code".

Correction, it does have a story, but its doesn't really make a lot of sense:

• Flashback to WWII. Japan gets assraped by the US with nukes
• Butthurt Japanese dude decides he wants to get revenge for his fallen brothers
• Creates company (Saikou) with the intention of spreading Japan everywhere, for everyone
• Actually manages to succeed, becoming most wealthy company in the world
• About ready to continue with his plans, but sees that weeaboos did his job for him and Japan is being spread already
• Gives up, decides not to go through with plan, and grows old
• Gives company to his son, since his daughter noped the fuck out and caused butthurt
• Around this time, Saikou family opens the school as a "CEO training ground" for their children
• A bit later in the story, in the 1980s, Yandere-chans mom goes to school and massacres other children
• Headmaster goes into depression, becomes fat, and the school loses its reputation
• Later in story, main character joins the school and meets Taro, falls in love
• Headmaster knows who she is and knows she is dangerous, yet let's her stay in the school because...
• Headmaster has a deal with the Saikou CEO to allow her to stay inside for some reason
• Both Headmaster and the CEO know what yandere-chan is doing, don't give a fuck anyways
• Last rival Megumi, CEOs daughter, ALSO knows about yandere-chan, but doesn't do anything about it
• None of them give a fuck except for Megumi, and that is only if you kill one of her student council slaves
• Also should mention that Megumi is described as a "140 IQ certified genius master fighter" that has successfully blackmailed anyone that tried to fuck with her.
• Hinted throughout game that Yandere-chans mom somehow knows the CEO, but its kept vague as fuck for no actual reason.
• Taro, the main love interest, is also somehow a part of this.

Hope you enjoyed my autistic summary.
Is the school a hologram? Are the students crisis actors? Can jet fuel really melt steel beams? All this and more will be answered... LATER!

On one hand I refuse to believe that this is the actual lore because of how retarded it is, but then again it is perfectly in character for Alex to write such an unbelievable pile of compost.

I'm still offended he didn't take it as a learning opportunity.

Not to be mad at the internet as I understand people are just having fun and being creative, but I personally do not care for the "I think the game will be better if..." posts, and think it is for the best if those discussions were to be moved somewhere else along with the art nitpicking and redesigns. Unironically spewing out what you think is an improvement to YanSim is honestly cringy imo, and no better than all the other failed clone games, as listing up interesting ideas and understanding what actually works are two different things.
People are here to follow and laugh at Alex's drama and spergings, not to read someone's dreamgame fanfiction, and many believe the whole premise of the game is dumb/unsalvageable, it's just not in our main interests (the lolcow is). /r/Osana is the place to go if you care so much about weeb games with murderous highschool girls.

I remember the salty women at PULL (rest in peace) had a different thread discussing the game's flaws. It escalated, they tried to make their own game, and made a fool of themselves.
Fans, antis, anti-antis...so many people tried to come up with better gameplay and failed. I doubt you can either. Nor Dr. Apeis, for that matter.

 

[keyboredsm4shthe2nd]

Idk how things are in the US but if he is 18 that means he is a freshman? I think is really weird.

Apparently certain high schools and such allow "dual enrollment" and you can technically achieve a two year degree, but I wouldn't call that "extensive".

I agree, Alex is the main focus of the thread, not the game.
You should ask Null to make a subreddit and we can discuss it there.

I disagree, solely for the fact that they were way too lenient as Alex didn't uphold his end of the deal. They should of sued for damages or at the very least gave the reason for why the contract ended preemptively. In fact this was only found out due to the hack that @Not Based or Redpilled did.

It's all real. Alex released these retarded "headmaster tapes" that exposed all of his retarded lore.

https://yandere-simulator.fandom.com/wiki/Headmaster's_Tapes

 

[Sejfo]

It's more than the tapes. You would think that he would put the lore in the actual game, but its spread thin across his youtube channel, reddit, and twitter. This is what I read on the wiki:
"Megami is the heiress to Saikou Corp, the most powerful business conglomerate in Japan. She is impossibly wealthy, a certified genius, has extensive self-defense training, has excelled at everything she has ever attempted to do in her entire life, and has been trained to possess all of the qualities of a perfect leader, to prepare her for the day when she will inherit her fathers company. She is also the most beautiful girl in school, the most popular girl in school, and the student council president."
"Megami is going to be a strict disciplinarian. Everyone agrees that she is mature, responsible, and intelligent. Her IQ is 140. However, some say that Megami acts as if everything she says and does has been written in a script and rehearsed."
And then of course there is this:

[ｃｈｌｏｒｉｎｅ]

Well guys, the two-year anniversary of when I found the Rise and Fall of YandereDev video and this thread came and went. I still can't believe I used to look up to Alex so much and actually believed that YanSim was a good game and had a chance of being released. I'm cringing at thinking how much I would've donated to the hypothetical Kickstarter for the game if I still was a fan today (or if it had simply been launched years ago like it was planned to). Alex is a decently manipulative guy, but apparently not manipulative enough if half of the users who post in this thread were former fans of his, like me. However, he is manipulative enough to constantly have a hold over some pockets of fans, even if his fanbase is essentially a revolving door of gullible twelvies.

 

[FeatherDuster]

Here's Alex rambling about his opinions on the last of us 2 for nearly 7 minutes. With such highlights as comparing the ending to metal gear solid 4, and looking way too deep into plot holes.
