Weird confession for an anecdote on why his "fans" act the way they do:
When I was first told about the game via a steam friend and looked at the game's website, I imagined the dev to be a sort of cool eboy in his cool bedroom tack tacking away at a keyboard, like a developer computer sciencey version of leafy, and I was thinking "wow this is so neat it's only 5% complete and there's so much! I can't wait for all the character interactions" I was probably like, 14 or 15 then.

But it was just a creepy, lazy old man wearing wifebeaters in his parents' house, who never faced consequences of his actions and had all his tendies served to him on a kid cuisine plate. Had I known this then I probably would've never given a second thought to supporting him in any way (ig when i put it that way i'm pretty shallow). Since most of his fanbase is children, I think they'll grow out of supporting the game and him, but there will always be more kids growing into edgy phases, and the cycle continues

Imagine having your fanbase grow up year by year and surpass you, a grown man, in maturity. Alex is too narcissistic and stupid to see just how pathetic that is.

How the fuck is that a disrespectful question? If anything, the people responding to it are pretty condescending about it.

they don't realize how similar they are to alex's fans and its extremely funny to watch

Let me guess, he's locking himself in the room coding 12 hours a day, doesn't even have the time to go to his friend wedding, and he had to spent hours of his day answering pointless emails that shouldn't be sent to him in the first place.

What is it about the concept of developing a Yandere game that turns people into spergs and causes them to follow the exact same pattern? This is like the internet version of the reverse Midas touch.

If you hang out in indie game development circles you'll see this a lot. It's not the animes but not quite grasping how much time game development and programming take, how many man hours go in, etc.. You think you need x, y, and z to complete the section, then you turn around to program it, taking longer than you expected, and when you think you're finished, something broke. Then you realize it would look better if you had a few more assets and some of the existing could use some smoothing too. Repeat.
Then there's sneaking problems, like optimization and scale bloat.

People who are invested in the writing and art aspect of game development or who come from those backgrounds will also focus on things like comics, shitposts, character interaction, making art, and lorebuilding, things that can be important to the game but the wallpaper and furniture is not as important as the brickwork. Funny enough, once art, comics, and little story drabbles are posted, creators get that dopamine hit of "oh I finished something and the fans liked it" and the brain then translates this to *tuxedo mask voice* "my work here is done" ("but you didnt do anything...") even though the game itself is not complete. Its an all too common trap I've seen played out over and over again.

If the creators don't peter out or actually produce a game then its likely this will be converted into a comic or other story medium by the group. But again, the first is most likely to happen since thats game development for ya. Always gotta plan for the bus factor.

Why do they need to create "hype" in the first place? This is a fangame that started from YS, they aren't planning to selling it or anything ambitious like what Alex intends with the Kickstarter (if he ever does it that is).

Honestly, while I understand why everyone was happy about that better artist being accepted to the LL official team, I'm worried that they're going to use her art for nothing else but "hype" and when the project crashes and burns it'll be all for nothing. WNM might've not been the best game, but the developer at least knew how to build hype without sacrificing time that could've been spent on development by uploading 10 min long videos of gameplay every month or so.

Alex seems to have completely doubled down on the censorship of his own platform now that he has the subreddit back. At least two posts are having user comments hidden from view. As of the time I'm posting this, the pantyshots thread has 93 comments invisible, his Karma score is hidden, and the 27 replies to him aren't visible. The only visible response is his own. People have to cross-post the threads to be able to properly discuss it.



He doesn't acknowledge the issue the thread brings up, just hand-waves the arguements then indicates there's an alternative to the mechanic of issue. Pretty classic of Alex at this point.



I guess son isn't coding his game right now.

I've read the screenshot with his rebutal. In what way does he hand wave stuff. Seems all pretty plausible to me.

I never understood the REEEEing about panty shoots. If you think they are minors, then shouldn't killing them be more morally questionable, then taking photos of there underwear?

I should clarify I don't really care about the pantyshots, myself. His response just struck me as trying to avoid the issue the user was trying to bring up. Maybe I misinterpreted it?

At the very least, it's just funny to me that his is the only response visible.

 

[Audioponics🎵⛲]

Well, what issue was he avoiding? I'm only going from the screenshot. Was there a point he was not mentioning?

here's what they said:

Spoiler: fat ass image

well, the last point the person made makes sense. you could only take about 90 panty shots for the entire game, but the items that cost panty shots cost a lot of shots (they're usually about 10 or so). you'd have to have a fuckton of students to keep re-buying things and the LAST THING ALEX NEEDS TO DO is add MORE shitty students
edit: also, he says his panty shot system is redundant....if its redundant then remove it alex, you fucking nonce

"Always coding" Yeah coding features to make the social simulator aspect and make the "dream anime vidya geim" instead of making the fucking game, it really baffles me how this weebs turn into religious zealots so quickly, the "trying to continue the hype train" is really retarded considering the fact they already have the hype? What kind of smooth brain you have to be to not realize that...

 

[Scarred Platypus]

I never understood the REEEEing about panty shoots. If you think they are minors, then shouldn't killing them be more morally questionable, then taking photos of there underwear?

For me is the fact that even a common trope in anime, is really specific about certain genres and not all that common, and more importantly, are regarded as a negative thing.
In YanSim not only does it gives you points and rewards you from doing it, but (I have heard of this, can't say if it is true as I haven't played the game, so if someone has correct me on this) seems like there is are whole mechanics around panties as Ayano equips different ones for different stats.

Dunno, but it is all kinda creepy to me.

i think it'd work better if it was actually portrayed as something creepy and immoral instead of just being fetish material for the average degenerate weeb

 

[Cowboy Christ]

Aha, the year in pages where I imagine Alex will probably unplug for a few days, curl up in a ball and cry to himself.
Face down on his bed, clutching his pillow. "What have I done?" he will cry.
And the clouds will shift maybe three inches and the Gods will answer: "what haven't you done?"

 

[The Cum Consumer]

I decided to look at the 4chan archives for evidence of Alex being a pedo, and uh...

Spoiler: Not relevant but funny

I'm putting this politely: for a lot of the team, I'm sure this is their first taste of large scale attention. Imagine going from an audience of anywhere from 50 to 500 followers to an audience of 1,000+: it's hard not to want to please your new group and hard not to want to see that audience grow either. Some of them are worried that if they don't display something NOW, they'll never be looked at again, others are just so excited they want to do stuff to bring more people in.

Bluntly: they've gotten their first attention hit and need more validation so are now in attention whoring mode since their brains aren't happy with delayed gratification. It happens.

I'm going to try and make a general thread on Lovesick & Yansim clones in Games instead of community watch or anything like that. Tell me if you guys think it's a bad idea or if someone is doing it already. DM me things to put in the thread if you like.
