...Also, let's say I've killed all the members of cooking club. Will it still be open just to stay empty?...

As far as I remember that's already a "feature". If a club has less than 5 members (IIRC there are 6 members in every club, might be 5) it'll close forever. Of course, Alex could make it so that other students could apply to enter that club, but that means actually doing some work and we can't have that now can we

Yeah, thank you for correcting me. Also, killing a club leader results in that, because it's not like they can elect another one. And the entire feature is autistic as fuck: one of club members/leader sees you killing a student - they just won't allow you to join for some vague reason instead of "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID". It's also funny how he warns "be aware of who you kill, otherwise all clubs will be closed" and numerous rivals are club leaders. I thought, he said that it's a game about being a stalker psycho with no emotions beyond lust for a boy.

I am yet to get to that blogpost, but has he implemented members of Photography club following your every step if the atmosphere is too low? If yes, that means that you need to kill 2 students or a leader to stop that bullshit.

If I remember correctly you have to kill them all to get them to stop following you. Non-the-less its still retarded looking as all shit. With teachers a substitute will show up with a shnazzy new hair color and eye color but the feature is so buggy its pretty easy to break it and have a perpetually empty chair. Also I'm not sure if anyone called attention to this but in the may 1st bug fixing build he stated:

• The hidden debug functionality to delete all Yandere Simulator data from your computer’s registry wasn’t actually working properly – whoops! It should be working correctly now. If you’ve got a bug like “no students spawn at school” or “Raibaru is permanently dead, even when starting a new save file” then press the “R” key at the Demo Checklist screen.

I played the demo when it first came out and there is a chance this shit is still on my computer. That will haunt my dreams.

To be fair that's pretty in-character for the Scooby Doo characters they're based on. Too bad this is supposed to be a 'serious' game and not a campy 70s cartoon.

This shit is impossible to take seriously for even a second if you reference the Scooby fucking Doo gang in your anime game. It’s even worse when it’s Chris-Chan tier levels of not even being parody and just abusing your interpretation of fair use.

Even Chris didn't butcher the names of his victims references as hard as Alex did.

EDIT: Good job on picking an image hosting, Alex, now almost all pictures in old blogposts are gone.

FunkyIMG is DOWN

and will NOT go online
Almost 14 years of serving images.. and we were forced several times to migrate/shut down due to BAD images. Despite the fact that we had two filters (thanks to EOKM.nl & cybertip.ca) that were checking online all images it's just easier for datacenters/police and other authorities to make us shut down our service.

admin@FunkySouls.com for any questions

"Fucking Twitch banned my game, why?"

"You can have sex in GTA, but it's not banned"

"How is my game different?"

"I even talked to the real Japanese teacher"

Her unused voice line from Rival Introduction video literally says:

If you want to see your grades go up, there are some favors you can do for me. I can teach you all sorts of things... Would you like me to be your..."private tutor"?

Spoiler: Long image

He wrote a lot but says very little. In short:
* He gives himself asspats for listening to feedback and using that to progress development. That's worked so well for him thus far.
* He wants feedback for the difficulty of 10 rivals but can't do that with 1 rival in the game, so he's making a new game mode where you play as someone else killing 10 different rivals. He's essentially making an entirely new mini game as a foundation for this one. Alex's proposed game mode will be finished before Yandere Simulator itself, but he insists it won't slow down development to work on it.
* Because he wants to make the game mode rivals as "unique as possible", he's proposing changes to his Patreon by suggesting 10, 20, and 30 dollar tiers; 10 for silhouettes and vague statements, pay 20 for blurry images and footage (what a great deal!), and 30 for the best experience - he clearly wants you to pay for the $30 one. Then he asks his pay pigs what they would expect for their money.

Seems to me that now that his numbers have dipped under 2k seemingly permanently, he's worried. It's fairly obvious he wants to claw back some of that funding.

So instead of working on his 10 rivals, finishing their routes and THEN doing the kickstarter to remake the assets (all of which he'd never actually do).
He's INSTEAD decided to...work on 10 new rivals with a new protagonist and a new story taking time away from the base game and the original rivals........right..

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

Seems to me that now that his numbers have dipped under 2k seemingly permanently, he's worried.

Worried? When he was worried he just hinted that if he falls inder 2k, then he would have to find a job and YS would be just his hobby. I'd say he is desperate, like never before, since all his old tricks are bouncing back. Art contest - flooded with trolls and the interest to the game itself is all time low. Video with a bunch of excuses - no one is going around screaming "LEAVE ALEX ALONE, GREMLINS", people in comments call him out and he even turned off likes/dislikes. The only option is to release the game to win at least something back and he can't do it.

 

[The Marauder]

First he released a Definitive Demo where he finally finished Osana, then he made 50 patches for it, like all demos are known for, with him going so far as labeling it over time as versions A, B, and C. Now he’s making Definitive Demo 2, with 10 completely unrelated rivals being eliminated by a completely different protagonist. And he’s putting development updates behind a paywall.
You really have to give him credit for finding new ways to milk his fans and presenting incompetent mismanagement as development progress.

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

And he’s putting development updates behind a paywall.

So the 99% of his remaining fans would have no idea if he is still working on a game or not... Even if gremlins were real they wouldn't be able to fuck him up so bad.

"A fool and his money are soon parted", and nowhere is this more accurately displayed than in the comments section of that Patreon post. It's still kind of amazing (and sad) how some are so willing to praise Alex for spending seven years slapping together premade assets and getting others to create new assets for him. But even then, of Alex's nearly 600 patrons (most of which are throwing just a dollar or two at him) only ten of them could thus far be bothered to provide feedback and that's after the Patreon post has been live for three days. So as stated above, a desperate attempt to turn the large number of single dollar patrons into minimum $10/$15 patrons to salvage both his income and ego, and I believe we can all somewhat accurately predict how well that's going to work.

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

Wait a minute...

Jun 15, 2021:

If there is a critical game-breaking bug in this build, I’ll silently release a new build without making a blog post about it, and post the changelog here at the bottom of this blog post.

Outside of that exact circumstance, this is the last time I’ll release a build that contains less than 10 rivals.

I’m not certain how many blog posts I’ll make between now and the release of 10 rivals, but I’ll definitely post an update if there is something noteworthy I need to communicate."

Oct 1, 2016:

Once I begin working on implementing Osana, you won't be getting any new builds until Osana is 100% functional

Then put your warm little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

Babe, I got you babe, I got you babe, I got you babe

Saw one comment be so deluded as to claim that the drama surrounding Alex is series of smear campaigns (and then going on to say they'll let Alex suckle on their financial teet), as if public opinion on Alex is the result of one big tinfoil hat strategy to make Alex suffer. In reality it's just his actions and constant contradictions that people have very well documented, and they have yet to see that. Gave me a chuckle, regardless. It was such a brain-dead comment.

It's almost impressive to me how he's so desperate to not get a job that he's milking the one thing in life that he was semi-successful with which he fucked up, and he's desperately trying to get more funding out of it any way he can. He is very dedicated to the shut-in lifestyle funded by idiots, if only he put that dedication to better use.

 

[PinstripeLuns]

Even Russians are talking about how long it took.

 

[Audioponics🎵⛲]

At least Alex is good for a surprise. No one, absolutely no one would have guessed he was going to implement 10 different rivals with a different protag. I guess we all had too many braincells to come up with that gem.

If he is really only going to update his patreons for the next months, this is going to get really boring.
This could even be the final arc. Its the new Osana but bigger and this time he isn't going to make the mistake to claim it "finished".

I honestly expected him to intentionally make ten rivals that are just Osana copy pasted to prove a point about why he needs crowdfunding

He's been talking about it for years, we just didn't realize it would manifest this way.

This is the Yanchan's mom mode. This is that 1980's or whatever mode. Thats why there's no infochan, thats why your hand crafting items, thats why there's ten completely different rivals, but it still in the same school.

I wonder how he's going to react when he releases his "99% gameplay 1% story" mode, and realizes nobody really gives a fuck about the janky ass gameplay. At this point he's running a BATIM situation, where the community is more invested in the lore they built up themselves than whats actually present in the game. Detaching to a whole new mode with new chars loses that.
