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

[Activelo]

Here's the Befriend cutscene Powerpoint. It's almost the exact same as the one with Kokona with a few minor differences.

Which makes you wonder why the fuck he didn't just simply re-use most of the animations.

Edit: Osana: "I'll stay away from him."

Literally the next day:

Edit 2: Disregard that last edit. Her interactions may not have changed (or it did in ways I didn't notice), but she didn't confess to Senpai on Friday.

 

[Chariot Of Mara]

It'd be good for someone to write an overall synopsis of the shitlore in this thread if no one has already, it seems difficult to find any concrete info all in one place without it being either speculation or completely incoherent (though I suppose trying to make sense of Dev's storywriting is challenging enough)

Alex constantly changes his lore whenever a fan asks him questions for further detail on his shit story concepts. If he can’t come up with an answer right then he says he can’t tell you because he doesn’t want to spoil anything

 

[An Sionnach Seang]

That's really funny honestly, every copy of yandere simulator uniquely fucks itself in a different way every time to mess with the player.

this is pretty much what happened with Anarchy Online and Daikatana 20-odd years ago

 

[Big Bad Wart]

Why does he have like 4 different lows and 2 max for the graphics quality with no medium? why not just got lowest-low-med-high-ultra-max or something like that? Also do I have to turn off the bloom every time I start the game?

 

[Guli]

SIX MORE YEARS JAJAJAJAJAJA AND IF YOU LIL PAY PIGGIES DON'T PAY UP, MAKE IT 12!

 

[Catgirls are Love]

Another method of completely breaking Osana/Raibaru involves grabbing a fire extinguisher first thing and dropping it right next to Senpai/Osana. Osana attempts to pick it up and return it but doesn't, then her animations/positioning completely break and Raibaru never moves from her spot behind the tree.

 

[Quadquinary]

Whatever happened to everything that was supposed to be a "placeholder" until release, I wonder?

This is not a real demo. A demo is meant to be a demonstration of a full game. The narrative from the last video video goes practically the same as that one before the TinyBuild arc. Paraphrasing his points:

• "What is time, it's only been 6 months of development!"
• "I'm working on this, but I just have SO MUCH to do by myself"
• "Hitman"
• "Volunteers much needed to everything that is not ~coding~. Eventually I'll pay professionals, I swear"
• "The actual real absolute final product will be better"
• "I know Osana is the first rival, but that shouldn't mean her elimination should be so easy"
• "I'll be further upgrading this and adding better features"
• Linking to his "In short: No" and "Character assassination" essays as further proof of his credibility(?)

In short: No, Yandere Simulator is never getting out of this "demo" phase

Spoiler

It is, in a way, sad to think about it. EvaX has not learned anything in all this time and it's all back to square one... Now under a "demo" name!

 

[FurezoHarto]

Is this happening for anyone else? It looks like a flash bang grenade went off.

It'd be good for someone to write an overall synopsis of the shitlore in this thread if no one has already, it seems difficult to find any concrete info all in one place without it being either speculation or completely incoherent (though I suppose trying to make sense of Dev's storywriting is challenging enough)

I've read the most of the Wiki, saw all of the Sakura content, and played a good chunk of the game, so I could give a general outline of the story:
Main Characters

1. Mr. Saikou - Current CEO of the worlds largest corporation, Saiko Corp/Inc?
2. Megami Saikou - The final rival and the CEOs daughter.
3. Ayano Aishi (Main character) - "YanChan", the batshit insane serial killer girl you play as.
4. Headmaster - School administrator for something like 25/35 years (A long time)
5. Kencho Saikou - Younger brother of Megami and oldest sibling. Son of Mr. Saikou
6. Senpai (Taro Yamada) - The main dude that you are attempting to manipulate into being your husbando
7. Ayano's Mother - Was in the school in the 1980s. Committed various murders and got her version of Senpai, giving birth to Ayano as a result.

Now here is where the story begins:

• Saikou Corporation exists because of a grudge that Megami's grandfather held against the rest of the world.
• This grudge stems from his extreme nationalism and witnessing firsthand the bombing of Japan by the US in WWII, and watching his friends die before him.
• This nationalism is so great that he voluntarily joined a drafting Japanese military to fight for his country, during a bloody and intense war.
• Angry at the world, he sets out to create the largest corporation and spread the Japanese way across the planet, in a "revenge" attempt against everyone who wronged his great nation.
• He manages to succeed at this, creating the largest company in the world, but realizes that his plan won't work because Japan is already loved by a majority of the planet for its cultural and entertainment significance, and spreading its influence isn't really possible at this point.
• He gives up on his plan for world domination and idles around for some time before handing the company off to his son, the character known as Mr. Saikou.
• But before this, the grandfather opens a school, the Academy, as a "CEO training ground" for his son and grandchildren, putting the Headmaster in charge (We don't know his significance yet)
• In the first few years, the 1980s, Ayano's mother enters the school and goes on a similar serial killing spree, causing the Headmaster to fall into a deep depression while his schools reputation tanks and no closure is met. The headmaster becomes fat, turns into a bathroom-filming pedophile, and created the tapes (Headmaster tapes) as a coping mechanism.
• Jumping to recent times, Megami is being trained by her father to be the next CEO of their company, and is being enrolled at the school. She, the Headmaster, and the current CEO know that Ayano is at the school, but by the order of the CEO, the Headmaster is not to intervene.
• It is because of this deal that nothing changes about the school when you murder students. The only actual changes are when you either kill enough students that the school legally cannot continue operating, or a student council member which pisses off Megami greatly and she ends up having cameras and metal-detectors installed in the school.
• The no-intervening deal is because of a strange relationship between the Headmaster and the CEO, and its also hinted that Ayano's mother is involved in this as well, somehow.
• No idea of the significance of Senpai (Taro) yet, but he is somehow related to all of this.
• It was said by Alex a few weeks ago that the lore goes back to the 1700s... Nothing on this yet.
• The student council has its own lore, but it isn't related to this, so I'll leave it out. Their significance is nothing more than students at the school that Megami was friends with/recruited.
• Haven't included Kencho yet since nothing has been said about him, but he holds a massive grudge against his sister as he feels inferior to her. Its likely you'll be able to collude with him late in the game to kill/get rid of her.

There is a bit more that I'll include later, but this is the jist of it. Angry Japanese WWII veteran creates company to take over the world, but ultimately is defeated. He creates the school as a "CEO training ground" for his son and later grandchildren. Headmaster is appointed, and a bit later in time Ayano's mother comes into the school and murders people. This makes the headmaster depressed as his schools reputation falls, but she gets away with it, and in the case of Ayano herself, he can't do anything about it.
Also should mention that Alex describes Ayano as someone who feels empty without Senpai, but doesn't necessarily enjoy it. He states that she wishes that she could fix her "condition" and that murdering people is something that she doesn't like very much, but has to do for her own good.

 

[ono]

Inb4 "It's ACKSHUALLY a v-slice, not a demo."

Whatever happened to everything that was supposed to be a "placeholder" until release, I wonder?

He later admitted he was going to do exactly this, just shart out a build with "finished" Osana and the "placeholder" models, which he does not intend to replace beyond basic reskins.

 

[Ligendori Namain Skulizu]

GPU, forgive me for all of the sins I am about to commit.

Oh I'm extremely late cuz of work but HOLY FUCKING SHIT MY EYES ARE BLEEDING OF THAT DISGUSTING BLUR AND BLOOM SOMEONE SEND HELP

Obviously, but for the permanent record: Osana is indeed here.
View attachment 1561892

Look how depressed the students look in the lower-left corner. I like how the girl with the long pink hair is holding their phone through the other girl, really adds to the image.

Also, the vfx look really annoying and eye-straining when you're on the roof.
View attachment 1562022

Honestly, it just makes the game look like it was made in the early to mid '00s. Reminds me of the days when every single fucking game had a shitton of bloom applied. Even the fucking graphics look like they were made in that era.

Here's the ending of the demo if you killed Osana.
View attachment 1562155

DEAR GOD this looks like he put this together in a hour. Like, no effort at all.
Also uh...
> childhood friend gets murdered
> woop 3 minutes pass while taking to a complete stranger
> forgets about Osana
> yaaay everything is fine
Yeah, that's exactly how it works, exactly, Alex.

Do you really expect Alex to know what it's like to lose a friend? It's not like he's ever had any.

Jesus, when you lay it out like that, it is retarded.

So what happens if Osana manages to confess? Does it just skip to that stupid red-saturated "snap" cutscene or did he actually try to be unique for once?

 

[SIGSEGV]

did he actually try to be unique for once?

I haven't played the demo and don't plan to, but the answer to your question is "no."

 

[Be patient I have lurkism]

the only way I can above 100 fps is using the panty shot tech were I run look around then look up her skirt so the game won't have to load everything around it.

This sentence is art

 

[Activelo]

DEAR GOD this looks like he put this together in a hour. Like, no effort at all.

Oh, and if you befriend Osana, Senpai whines about how she hasn't been talking to him lately.

Which she has. Each morning.

Same exact animations, too. Depending on how you do it (I befriended her on Monday), you could finish it on Thursday and he'll still be depressed about it even though it's been two fucking days in that case.

 

[easymodo]

There was a typo in the video, so I took it upon myself to get it up to snuff.

 

[Meghan Sparkle]

The no-intervening deal is because of a strange relationship between the Headmaster and the CEO, and its also hinted that Ayano's mother is involved in this as well, somehow.

There’s a pretty good theory about that deal, which could explain why the mom is involved. I think it was on Osana but I can’t find it.

Oh, and if you befriend Osana, Senpai whines about how she hasn't been talking to him lately.

Which she has. Each morning.

Even after being kidnapped and tortured for days, when she is supposed to be mindbroken, her first concern is still blabbering to Senpai about J-pop.

For fuck sakes Alex, did you even test your game?

 

[Canned Bread]

Is this happening for anyone else? It looks like a flash bang grenade went off.

Yes, I found that turning off bloom fixes the issue.

 

[Μusk]

So I murdered Osana and "beat" the demo, and decided to test the debug menu. I went into the "Extras" menu as it told me, entered the "debug" command, and I received a message that "Cheats have been enabled"
Wanna take a guess if they work?
Nope. The game turns them off immediately when you enter the save menu, and going back to the title screen, the "Extras" menu is blacked out, so you can't even enter the command again. Arguably the most fun part of Yandere Simulator and the speedup function that makes the slow ass game a little more bearable is broken.
