After seeing John Wolfe's video, I wonder what will happen to Yandere Simulator. Will it end up as a hilarious trainwreck or boring piece of shit?

Hello, long time lurker, first time poster. I've been following YS from almost the beginning, first as an original small game idea, then as a glorious trainwreck.

To predict how Alex–TinyBuild partnership is going to go for them, I went back and checked out the timeline for Hello Neighbor:
Dynamic Pixels submitted the game to Steam Greenlight in June 2015, launched a Kickstarter in October 2015 (and failed), went silent, partnered with TinyBuild in summer 2016 (and announced it in September) and finally the game is supposed to come out this month (so a bit over one year after the partnership). Meanwhile, in May TinyBuild secured a deal for Hello Neighbor merchandise.
Why is this relevant? Because if that $30 Youtuber bait fails (especially after they posted a very old and broken alpha as the demo), TinyBuild probably is going to chew Alex' ass to spew out YS in 2018. And we all know it's not going to happen.

As for Jay, I noticed that recently, while half of his YS videos are about glitches, the other half are about mods. Which makes me wonder how some bored kid can implement more content in their spare time without having access to the source code than someone who supposedly works on the game "10 hours a day, 7 days a week". Last bit of new content that got Jay excited for two seconds were shades with "THAT DUDE" written on it. Even Hello Neighbor, while still a bait, has not resorted yet to literal direct pandering.

Which leads me to the final thought: a huge chunk of content right now are Easter eggs, almost all of which will have to be axed, and yet he still maintains them with cosmetic bugfixes:
July 28: Fixed bug that prevented some of the YouTuber-related “meme accessories” from being affected by lighting.
August 2: Fixed texture bug with the glasses in Galo Mode.

Also, is the Pose Mode going to be removed as well? Because he keeps making tiny bugfixes to it too.

Welcome to the farms my man

Adding onto what you said, YandereDev has started pandering to Youtubers, with references to them so they stay interested. It worked with Bijiu Mike and with Jay after all.

With pose mode, I'm not sure. He did state that it wasn't going to be permanent (I'm pretty sure) but at this rate it'll stay in the game. Besides, it was 'inspired' by an actual Pose Mod made by kgftbz, who makes a lot of mods that are actually quite good.

I don't think that's exactly them, but muh deep edgy lore is what keeps kids (and, in turn, youtubers) engaged these days. As we can clearly see from FNAF and Undertale fandoms/youtbers
Click to expand...
And thanks to both youtubers and fans editing Wikia articles, I got almost all of Undertale spoiled to me, making practically all of my interest in playing it drop to zero.

Alex seems to have invented a way to streamline this process, he spoils almost everything himself on the date of realising a new feature – or at least he was when he was still releasing new features.

Was there anything new apart roof fan murder method and non-functional pool since the addition of Mission Mode in November? (Youtuber pandering accessories don't count.) I just rechecked Alex' channel and in 2017 there's just lore peddling, Twitch drama, dumb idea proposals (town, yakuza), Osana "progress", fanart, Grand Theft Persona and a single video about TinyBuild. If you downloaded a copy in December, it would be mostly the same as the current one except for few glitches and few cosmetic assets.

If the game kept the pace of development it had in 2016 and earlier, we'd have 2 or 3 rivals finished by now. Although it probably means that Alex hardcoded everything to Kokona so much that redirecting all those features to actual rivals overwhelmed his puny programming skills – but that's just a speculation on my part and to confirm it someone should decompile both a late 2016 build and the current build – but what I saw so far makes this conjecture very likely. Also, I wonder if he took a thorough course in C# in the meantime, or is he still just winging it, producing the same kind of spaghetti he always did. My bet is on latter.

I've read maybe 2% of this thread. Has this guy done anything to match/exceed the exceptionalism seen in the feature length 'don't email' video?

Everything after the "Emails" video. Stealing content from small-time artists and modelers, directly ripping off mechanics from other games, not giving two shits about his volunteers and a possible sockpuppet (or unrelated troll, it's pretty hard to tell) where the golden phrase "criticism is trolling" was born on the YS subreddit.

Among others not really as note-worthy or I've forgotten about that are worth talking about.

Also his extremely passive-aggressive behavior when dealing with criticism, or just outright throwing insults around. See "go stick your dick in a beehive". (Old news, but I'm still putting it here for people who haven't seen it.)

And yeah, the "criticism is trolling" guy is just a troll. Though it's worth mentioning that some of the fangirls actually agree with him.

I think "Yanderefan" is actually Alex from an alternate timeline whose fans saw through his bullshit much sooner and gave up on it completely. Having become a laughingstock in the internet community, Alt!Alex tried in vain to salvage his game's code in any way shape or form. But in a fit of anger he ended up creating a gamebreaking bug so massive it tore open a rift in time and flung him into our dimension. Now Alt!Alex bides his time under the guise of Yanderefan, plotting to build up Yandev's trust by constantly sucking his dick in the hopes of of one day backstabbing him and taking his place as the one true "Evaxephon" of the universe.

Old somewhat, but I found two websites that covered the Tiny build partnership a little more-http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-03-02-yandere-simulator-picks-up-publisher-developer-guarantees-completion
http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2017/...-yandere-simulator-snags-publisher-tinybuild/

And as a side note, for some reason it's taken a while for me to realize this. Those clouds that cover Ayano when she's naked look like the clouds that covers Naruto's Sexy Jutsu form:c.

If any of you have seen his August third bug fixing update-https://yanderedev.wordpress.com/2017/08/03/august-3rd-bug-fixing-build/
you will see he mentions:
"Ah, it looks so cool! If I had more spare time, I’d love to implement an Easter egg inspired by this artwork…" in reference to a fan art he received that looks like it comes from a Creepypasta. :stress: Yay to finding another potential excuse to waste everybody's time! (Or at least Tinybuilds, volunteers, and fans)

Inb4 the next announced story DLC is about Ayano and Senpai's child, Bayano.

How to impersonate Alex:
-Nothing is your fault
-No one is smarter than you
-Write like you're trying to fill the word count on an essay
*The essay must be half assed at best

Or in Alex's case, wait until the very last minute.

Or come up with some lame excuse as to why it never got done. Either works.
