What the fuck

*coughs loudly into unmuted mic*

His streams: Annoying

His talent: Doesn't exist

His advice to get a girlfriend: "Just kidnap one bro"

He is genuinely better than most let's players. Chuckled a bit. I honestly think he should stick to streaming. And cutting things from streams without context is meh. I like offensive content and other comedic sociopathy done for entertainment purposes. Offensive content is basically bread and butter in streaming. Too bad he maybe actually considers some of these ideas seriously.

the sad thing is, you're right. he'd be better off a controversial streamer than a "game developer." hell he's already got the looks for one. it's a shame but also an amusement at the same time that his head is too far up his ass for him to even consider dropping yandere simulator.
i guess this is a recurring theme for most lolcows, if they're doing something retarded for anything, be it easy money, asspats, etc. they gonna keep on doing it, never letting go, no matter what.

I'm sorry if this has already been brought up, but the YanSim Discord has a bug fix chat now and uh

Spoiler: ???

there's way more than these but these are the ones that caught my eye scrolling up

i dont think that's a bug, i think that's the game having a mental breakdown after witnessing alex jerking off to his Cheongsam dress fetish...

Oh, I dunno. Even with context this is pretty embarrassing. And I definitely don’t need to bring back the cuphead clip. If I wanted to see tantrums, I‘d just become a nanny. I definitely don’t want to see him ogle anime waifus and complain about boobs. I’m sure there’s bias going on here, but I just can’t stand the dude.

It's a new day, that means another bugfix build.

No, you really don't have a clear image of what the game is lacking and what needs to be done to improve it.

Changelog can best be summarized as Spaghetti Code.

Spoiler: dumb

Special mention to the game being unable to recreate everything if a student is wet from the save system, thus now you can't save if someone is wet (probably pathfinding related). Also special mention to a bug that didn't reset a specific NPC when you reset the day.

Edit: Also, Alex's Patreon has been doing something weird for the past week or so where the number of contributing patrons increases but the actual money income either stays roughly the same or decreases.

So, there's no chance for rain to occur, ever, in Yandere Simulator. Isn't it nice how reality bends around this game.

 

[Μusk]

Part of me feels bad for Alex considering his game could've had FNAF levels of popularity if he actually pushed to finish it in a year, but I also know that he's the only one responsible for his current state. What a complete waste of popularity.

 

[Kuritan Deplorable]

Its Honestly quite a little insight into Alex's understanding of his own code.

Alex's save system wasn't written by him if you recall, it was written by a volunteer. This leads me to believe that its a functional, if rudimentary implementation of a simple serializer system, turning gamestate into raw values in what is effectively a glorified text file. Alex drives everything with yes/no flags, so it probably saves away every damned one, because if Alex understood the idea of mutually exclusive conditionals, his code would be half the size it is. He also is keen on using booleans that are only valid for a frame just to redirect a bit of logic once, that then get immediately reset. Such as "change your destination because you are now wet"

With Alex's code being one massive conditional argument rather than a state machine, he likely can't just apply the existing flags, without hitting condition issues as his code can't just 'resume' partway through the execution, it starts from the very top again. We will probably see more of these issues appear as he hits more conflicting conditions like this. I don't actually think its pathfinding related, I think its however he suspends a students action in favor of an immediate concern, such as "go be not wet" that he can't restore properly, as they'll reevaluate their situation from the top and resume their old actions immediately, without firing an 'I just got made wet' trigger.

If I had to try and fix these issues, and wasn't allowed to use anything more complex than what I learned in the first three weeks of my introduction to java course, I'd... I tried writing this three different ways, but each one was just more stupid. If I had to do the above I'd just neck myself, fuck that.

His patrons are undergoing mitosis.

That pretty much sums up Alex's potential and how he wasted it.
He had everything handed to him on a silver platter - lots of fans, lots of creative content, lots of people who wanted to play the game once it was finished (and let's not forget the guy from TinyBuild), and instead of finishing the game and collecting his rewards, he decided to waste all of YanSim's potential by delaying Osana until he couldn't run her into the ground any longer.

Spoiler: Potential off-topic

In a way, he actually reminds me of Lowtax.
Both him and Taxman had so much potential that they could have used.
Alex ended up wasting it instead of working on his game.
Lowtax wasted his potential by deciding to stay with his old, broken Web 1.0 forum and blowing his savings away on wine and sleeping pills.

Anyone here who is unfortunate enough to use Unity know why he hard codes the animations? Doesn't Unity have a built in fancy animator???

Because they're state machines and he mentally cannot process the idea of a state machine even though the animator editor is completely visual and requires nothing more than dragging, dropping and naming a few things in text fields. If you've ever constructed a flowchart on a computer you've done 80% of the work that goes into making a Unity animator.

My YanSim clone is going to be in 1-D.

With apologies to Edwin A. Abbott

I'm far too amused trying to figure out how yansim would work in a world where women murder others all the time completely by accident. Kind of makes me tempted to write Love Triangle : A Romance of Not Many Dimensions for a game jam.

The Chad Scott stealing the spotlight of every other announcement in the PS5
The Virgin Alex still struggling to understand why his computer starts melting as soon as he opens YS.

Amazing what actually taking criticism and working hard can achieve.
You could take Alex's entire life, write it down on a book and sell it as "This is how you DON'T gamedev".

If you like Alex's streaming style then you must be a big fan of DSP.

 

[Sir Joahim Browinson III]

His only redeeming quality is that he streamed Pathologic 2 reading article about first part no less.
Funny enough, Ice Pick Lodge started development cycle aroud the same time Alex did and went through hell and back to get at least one character route done (which is still 30 hours of good content). And they probably wished they could have at least half amout of money YanDev accuulated through years to fully finish it.

The bugfixes continue. Of particular note:

However, based on what we saw in his emails the plan pitched to 505 was roughly "release demo, bugfix for a month, then do crowdfunding". We're coming up on a month since the demo was released, crowdfunding was mentioned at the end of the demo...but otherwise, no real sign of it so far, other than this:

Spoiler: probably not intended

I wonder if Alex changed his pitch, 505 made him change his pitch, or if recent events have made 505 reconsider their partnership and Alex is on his own now.

I love how the first search result for "yandere simulator crowdfund" is a fucking r/Osana post saying that said crowdfunding campaign is a scam. What if that search result is still on the first page when Alex actually gets around to making the Kickstarter for his shitty game ()? Yandaddy might have to make a whole video about how the Kickstarter is not a scam in the near future...
