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

The only hope is to hand off the idea to a game company so they can delete everything and start from scratch.

Tiny Build tried that. It didn't go well.

What bothers me the most about Alex's latest blog post was the line "I have removed all “Anti-Osana Countermeasures” that prevent Osana from spawning in public builds."

all

How was this not as simple as removing spawn_osana: false in a config file?!

Alex was using conditional compilation to prevent the compiler from even seeing Osana's code when creating public builds:

UNITY_EDITOR is a preprocessor macro defined by Unity. If UNITY_EDITOR has been defined as a preprocessor macro, then everything between #if UNITY_EDITOR and the corresponding #endif will be visible to the compiler. However, if UNITY_EDITOR isn't defined, then the code inside of it doesn't even make it to the compiler. Alex probably removed all of the #if UNITY_EDITOR statements.

Spoiler: What I would have done instead of removing the preprocessor directives

I would replace the #if UNITY_EDITOR directives with something like #if !DISABLE_OSANA, which would have the effect of enabling Osana unless DISABLE_OSANA has been defined. Then when I'm ready to start testing the second rival, I'd define DISABLE_OSANA with a compiler flag to ensure that the new rival works properly in isolation (unit testing), then I would recompile without defining the macro just to be sure that Osana's code and the new rival's code don't interact in unexpected ways (integration testing).

Happy 2100!
According to Yandev, Osana is done... But TBH I'll believe it when the build is out.
EDIT: When she does get released, I'll be surprised with the amount of ELSE IF statements that will be in the games code. I guess the only thing we can do is... well. Hold our breaths and hope shes somewhat decent? Kinda curious on how Raibaru will work out. I honestly hope shes not as indestructable as we have seen her in builds and god help us if you can't truly take her out.

Alex is fucked even if he learned how to code and rewrote the whole base, as long as he sticks with his current vision of Osana.
Even in the harder Hitman games, the first target can legit just be killed in a very sloppy fashion (even gunning down everyone in the level). None of them have a fail condition (beyond dying) or an invincible body guard.

There's a natural progression in difficulty from target to target (occasionally with a breather level).

What's the second rival gonna have? Two Raibarus?

Maybe 3 Raibarus

By the time it gets to the 10th rival it's going to be like "Dynasty Warriors" and you'll have to be blasting hundreds of Raibarus out of your way.

 

[Kuritan Deplorable]

If only we were to be so lucky. The actual likely progression of Alex's difficulty levels will be increasingly complex, hairbrained schemes you must pay for with panty shots. Characters will develop increasing immortality to a wider range of things. I bet you the cooking rival will be immune to poisons because she became hardened to rotten foods in her early days of cooking.

Figuring these schemes out yourself will be an exercise in futility, and Alex will simply take this as an excuse to "Encourage players to engage with other gameplay mechanics" as he shoves in a whole pile of side minigames and such to earn currency to buy the checklist you need this week.

Rivals six, seven, and eight will be able to transform nearby students into Raibaru. The ninth rival can summon Raibarus at will. The tenth and final rival will have the ability to transform herself into a supercharged Raibaru.

will you guys be downloading the demo build if it comes out? i probably will, just to see how little has changed between now and 4 years ago.

 

[deepFriedBaka]

Well, if the second rival has two Raibarus, the tenth rival will be able to teleport around the school, detect you even if you're hidden, immediately attack you if you kill someone away from them, kill you in SNAP mode, be surrounded by the Student Council members, and force you under the map.
Oh god.
The sad part is I can imagine Alex doing this.

Spoiler

Just making this post is making me feel :autistic: as hell.

I will be downloading it not to see how it plays (because we already know) but to see what continuing and new technical fuckups Alex commits.

Most likely. Just to see how it'll turn out.

It's our darn diddly duty to gather intelligence from it, ja?

#if !DISABLE_OSANA

Something tells me he doesn't know how to add preprocessor directives so he just crammed it into one of the automatically defined ones.
To be fair, it's mildly fiddly in unity since the option is buried in a weird spot but it's still something you can learn in 5 minutes.

Alex is getting more ganged up on moment after moment.
I wonder if this is destroying his fragile ego to the point that it’s dust.

Why do you think he's been talking about Osana so much, recently?

 

[TyrasGuard]

Glad to know he finally released the what's meant to be the tutorial boss after 6 years of "developing".

It's like the equivalent of finally getting Mario to jump or Sonic to roll.
