Yandere School looks the most complete. But its in early access, or whatever that means, or as the developers states:

Early access: game is in development. This game is not affiliated with other developers or games about school​

I'd still say it's something they have over him.

In any case, I agree with you about telling people about it. Guess his ego couldn't take not shouting this from the rooftops.

I don't have a problem with the core idea of this game, I have problems with the inconsistent nature of its content. As mentioned before in this thread the game's development feels highly improvisational. Unlike other forms of media, programing doesn't lend itself well to making stuff up on the fly. The easter egg thing is a distraction, and he would be done with the game sooner if he didn't do them at all. This game has a bad habit of throwing mixed signals like crazy. Is it a trashy meme simulator game, or is it some edgelord stealth game? Pick one.

The introduction of a town indicates a lack of clear focus, meanwhile the school map is still bare-bones. There's also going to be a pool? For a game with stealth elements the environments leave much to be desired everything is just so empty. The FAQ is the closest thing we have to a Game Design Document. His secrecy on the scope of the project makes it fundamentally difficult for him to work with volunteers. People wont put effort into a project that has the consistency of vaporware.

And this is the main reason why I think this game is bad as it is (aside from all the missed opportunities and gameplay mechanics, mentioned below): It's got a terrible identity crisis going on.

On the one hand, it wants to be a sandbox game where you can kill anyone and do other random things. On the other hand, it wants to be a serious slasher-type game. The fact that he seems to remove certain mechanics at will when he easily could implement them in the game, like the police officer model) or even adding some that haven't been thought of (fighting back against a delinquent, or hell, killing one). It feels like he's doing this all on autopilot and the random bits of information of both the development and the game's plot feels like he's pulling them out from his ass.

That he's literally spending all of one work day on the damn thing, and is doing this without the help of anyone else (save the Easter eggs) only makes this worse.

He was asked that in chat he gave more of an affirmative that it bothered him, than a full scale chimpout. His voice doesn't have the range beyond being annoyingly emphatic.

He was bombarded by trolls or questions early in the stream around 8pm his time.
The only responses I semi-recall were something to the effect of: "Read the FAQ faggot" and "how about you auto-fellatio yourself and rip your own dick off." Beyond that it was a dull stream.

Of note he also had some "real talk" with fans at 3-4am California time asking whether that last email video took things to far. His fans basically hug-boxed him for thirty minutes.

Maybe this is something he's doing on purpose, you know? Taking a jazz approach to programming.

It's about the features he's not implementing, man.

Maybe that's another reason why the Pewdiepie and Markplier fankids love him. All 14 year olds are Tim Burton loving edgelords.

And from one of his latest blog posts:

It’s possible that producing sponsored videos might actually provide me with enough income to hire experienced professionals to produce top-quality assets for Yandere Simulator. I might make a video about this topic sometime soon, but at this point in time, I’ve never produced a sponsored video.

Gotta shill for money, even though he's making $5k a month via Patreon and only working a few hours a day on YanDev because of those dang dirty emails.
