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

[Lambda]

As an outsider to the Yansim thing just a week ago, I was very confused about a lot of things. I'm an engineer, so a lot of what was going on seemed very easy to fix.

After reading up on this case, I'm actually impressed at just how incompetent Alex is as a developer. I actually don't think he's a developer in the slightest. The technical challenges he faces are very easy to overcome, from e-mail to the actual game. But the issue is, he's not in it to build something, like developers are (with recognition/fame/praise being secondary, albeit nice). His goal is to run Patreon, YouTube, social media, and be famous for the project. You can see this from his earliest interactions on IRC: he wants recognition for doing something very basic, but his actual goal wasn't building the game, because if it was, the feedback he received was very valuable and could've pushed him to succeed. I think it's clear he's a narcissist who will latch onto anything to try and get that hit he's addicted to.

The thing that convinced me was the tinyBuild fiasco. Nothing he said about their interactions were actually true. Refactoring can be done piece by piece. Modifications to code are usually localized. Fighting over minor changes really translates to: he's "that guy" who refuses to allow anyone to change his code because he's too proud of his own accomplishment. tinyBuild was trying to protect its interests as a publisher and get the game finished and out to make money, but he refused to let them do it. I don't know if he was actually scared of the game being finished (probably), but they certainly couldn't do anything for him if they weren't allowed to contribute in any meaningful way.

Since Alex will likely read this thread, I have a simple piece of advice: step the fuck back from the game's development and let qualified people from your fanbase finish it. Just give them a percentage of the revenue. You can be the face of the team and reap all the public reward you want like designers/producers in big game studios do. You can still guide development to see the game be what you want it to be, but for fucks sake let people who aren't shit at making games make the game.

A complete outsider plays Yandere Simulator.

Its actually pretty hilarious to see how unfinished this game is exactly and Osana is now supposedly the top priority,

On mobile so post might be weird, also longtime lurker, blah blah you get the point.
What really gets me as someone who hasn't watched any sort of actual YanSim gameplay footage in literal years is how...painful that damn SNAP mode is. Like, holy shit. The screen is going everywhere with the edgy murder scenes, its fucking seizure inducing. Even as someone who used to be interested in the game around 2014 and thus has some sort of knowledge of what should be going on, I'm just as baffled as the guy in the video is. Rate me late on this or whatever, I just wanted to toss my two cents in.

Spoiler: Powerlevel

SNAP mode is a joke. It took him 6 years to make something that could have been implemented with a week of coding. All the code shows is Yandere-chan standing up and everyone freezing in place. Even Raibaru, who is supposed to be fucking immortal, dies in one-hit because YandereDev was lazy and wanted to complete it.

The entire mode is bad. Why do the students stand there waiting to be killed? Because Alex is shit at writing real interactions.

 

[Midori]

I've been getting a sudden mass recommending of "Yandev exposed" videos on YouTube lately, so decided to see what he was up to.
Nice to see the same amount of coding as usual.

I don't think this was posted here

 

[deepFriedBaka]

Considering Alex still throws removed objects in the sky instead of deleting them, it's unsurprising that they count as "top-heavy files".
OF COURSE Yanderedev would keep the "ripped clothes" models in the game. Gotta jerk off to something, now. It can't all be big busty boobies.
And holy shit those anime/hentai covers at the end of the video are :islamic:

 

[keyboredsm4shthe2nd]

So a few years ago Alex publicly humiliated an artist who was obviously a child:

That kid has grown up and improved their art quite a bit, posting on the r/Osana subreddit with an updated drawing:

Their Instagram is here. Their art is quite cute and obviously a huge improvement.

View attachment 1331226

This is why you shouldn't shit on young artists (or hell, any artist), they're constantly improving and honing their skills. Alex could have privately told this kid "I appreciate your passion, but it's just not the style I'm going for. Keep it up and keep improving!" but instead he publicly humiliated them and was an asshole.

This is what the poor kid said about that:

EDIT: The artist confirmed they were in 7th grade when they drew the initial picture and got insulted (if you live outside the US, 7th grade is 12-13 years old). So yeah, literally a child.

imagine being such a narc that you shit on a 13 y/o's drawing but think yourself a god when shitting on a keyboard when a monkey could do it faster and more efficiently. TeenTiara is fucking spot on, and it's so pathetic if Alex were a better person I'd feel bad, but he's not, so I'm laughing it up. Alex you idiotic motherfucker.

Bingo, you hit the nail right on the head with the hammer. I don't remember where I heard it, but I think it was one of Alex's videos where he publicly stated his intentions for developing Yandere Simulator was that he wanted to be recognized in the gaming community as a developer. Dude saw the success Scott Cawthon and Toby Fox were able to achieve and became jealous.

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

It's extra funny, because when Mike Z told him something like this, he went full spastic and cried that he hates his work.

Dude, this is not powerlevel. Powerlevel is when you reveal embarrassing information about yourself and/or something that can lead to your doxing.

 

[CakeCutey]

I'm surprised how stubborn Alex still is at this point. More and more people have either started memeing on him or have criticized his mess of a game.
And despite this, he's still considering making Hate and Shame 2 even though the first one cause more people to go against him than pity him. This shit is like a snake eating itself.

Hate and Shame was Alex's attempt to get himself out of a hole, only to keep digging it. If he makes a second Hate and Shame, I honestly wouldn't be surprised.
Lolcows never learn.

Can I have a quick recap on MulberryAry and her shenanigans with Yandev, besides tracing?
And why the hell she keeps supplying Yandev's coomer ass with art throughout the years?

Mulberry is a simp to Yandev and is desperately trying to get him to "Notice me, Senpai!"

God they're both idiots. Alex could settle and quit being a fucking virgin but his rampant narcissism makes him think he has the face of a god and personality to match, instead of being garbage on both fronts.
I support the abortion of npd babies.

Alex does shit like this and then is genuinely baffled when people call him a shithead. Narcissism: Not Even Once.

We've been telling him this for literal years so don't get your hopes up.

Yeah, Alex's sheer narcissism and lack of tact is so irritating. He honestly seems to believe he is owed professional-level work from volunteers for completely free. So when an actual child sent him a drawing and an offer of help he got bent out of shape because how dare someone submit something that isn't professional-grade quality?

Alex is insanely lucky he's managed to get so many talented volunteers to offer up their labor for free, but he never seems grateful for it. He just seems to think it's what he's owed. Iirc he doesn't even entertain people who asked to be paid for their services (even if it's a really low amount).

After reading your post, I get the feeling that he thinks that the whole world owes him for the idea of Yandere simulator alone.

Also, I recall from his Debunk page something like "bad programmer would not be able to make a mini game", but I remember that somebody here said, that this mini game was made by a volunteer. So which is it?

Again, he clearly has a mania to be recognized developer like big indie boys, so it's only natural that he thinks he already scored half of it by comming up with idea that was good on paper.

Bad programmers are somewhat able to make stuff, but in a worst and buggiest way possible.

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

No, I mean, if that's the case, then it sounds like "I'm not a bad programmer, because someone else has made me a mini game".
