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

[Lobotomized_Chicken]

Yah! A whole new mode filled with bland, underdeveloped characters that were thrown together to make up for the fact that Alex won't work on the base game!

Yay! Another pointless feature that will do nothing but give Alex another excuse to delay the game!

He's literally just reusing promos and stuff he got from children from 5 years ago. Amazing how retarded any fans who have stuck with him are if they still are committed.

 

[Keine]

Either the negative comments are getting pruned or there's an alarming number of people who think positively of this game and Alex's ability to actually finish it.

Given how many indie Unity games have the old VHS style screen effects these days I'm guessing it's an asset that's widely available now?

Well, we all saw this coming. Now we wait to see how much of a hack-job it really is.

As I download this abomination and browse through Alex's blogpost...

In addition to the main story mode featuring Ayano Aishi as the protagonist, there is now a prequel story mode – “1980s Mode” – starring Ryoba Aishi, the mother of Ayano. In 1980s Mode, you must eliminate the girls that tried to date Ryoba’s Senpai in 1989.

No surprises there.

Each rival has 2 interactions with Senpai per day – once at the start of the day, and once again at either lunch or 5:00 PM. The player can sabotage these events to gradually make Senpai hate the rival. Due to limited resources, all rivals share the same set of Senpai Interaction events, but with different dialogue.

In other words, you're lazy. You got it working once, then either applied it to all NPCs or just copypasted everything (more likely).

There is a new befriend/betray sidequest in 1980s Mode. Due to limited resources, every girl shares the same befriend/betray sidequest. (They were all victimized in the same way by the same person, just on different days.)

See above.

Because 1980s Mode is a prequel story mode, there is a “canon” elimination method for each rival.

I sense incoming sperging from his fanbase over exactly who got the knife shoved where.

1980s Mode has “VHS Tape” filter effects to give the game an “80s” feeling. New options have been added to the Settings screen just in case you’d like to disable certain aspects of the filter.

Oh god not again. Remember when the town first appeared? Or any other time Alex tried to implement some kind of filter? I remember.

The game is now capable of spawning female delinquents in addition to male ones.
The game is now capable of spawning male student council members.

My first thought was that majority of the student population is now randomly generated for each playthrough, then I remember it's Alex. Hello new random useless NPCs.

1980s Mode features an entirely new cast of students at the school. (The art style and quality of the hair models is inconsistent, so many of them may be changed in the future.)

I wonder why.

There is also a hidden grade that is only achieved by meeting very specific criteria: S+. Obtaining the S+ grade will unlock an additional cutscene after the credits with some important lore information.
I actually subtly disclosed the criteria for achieving S+ somewhere in one of the bullet-points above. I wonder if you spotted it?

Hitman/Metal Gear this is not. Also, it's probably who gets the knife when and where.

Welp, time to make my computer beg for mercy with the latest build.
Edit: Also, Alex was right. Game is now roughly 4 GB...from a 2 GB compressed file. Alex, you continue to fuck it up as usual. Unity games shouldn't be much larger than their compressed size if you're halfway competent.

Well, first impressions. Alex still hasn't fixed a long-known issue, so certain menus will attempt to rape your GPU. Also, only four sponsors shown now(don't recall when that changed). 1980s mode runs significantly better than the base game, rarely visibly stuttering or managing to go under 50 FPS while the standard game can drop to sub 40 FPS and visibly stutters often. As usual, I've capped my FPS at 90 because I don't like hearing my GPU whine in pain.

As for the 1980s tutorial...

Aside from the blinding fog it's...actually surprisingly competently done with only a few minor flaws (wrong key commands in instructions, the trail is based on your foot position so it's useless on stairs/changes in elevation, leg animation is very very awkward when carrying a body), though the story is still the same quality we can expect from Alex. Minimalist introduction cutscenes; it's literally just white on blue text with a voiceover, and the tutorial is fully voiced.

First rival is a reskinned Osana that probably shares nearly the same routine, though her bodyguard is absent.

There's also a detective NPC that shows up after the students and I assume will eventually be following you around to impede your progress. I've got stuff to do today, so might see what I can break later.

 

[Empty bottle of fanta]

First impressions? Its weirdly moved backwards. Like this fucker spent so much time "getting new assets and animations" just to use the older ones he took so long to change.

 

[Activelo]

Looks like someone's assmad

I played it and it was more personally enjoyable than Osana, but this should have been released before Osana. Also I keep getting frame drops every time I open a door, optimization is shit.

Aw, and they put their page on private. I think we've been a little too mean to Alex guys. Clearly the game is good and it's time to pack it up and go home.

 

[hazydaze]

God, he's a genius at finding new ways to progress the game without having to actually make progress

EDIT: I didn't realize there was an extra page full of similar comments damn

Honestly I think it's a testament to how patreon and twitch users are retards who should not be allowed to have money.

 

[Diesel Boogaloo]

Few quick impressions based on the trailer alone:
– that CRT effect does not do image distortion to all layers, just to the HUD
– no, Alex, Japan did not use Macs at schools (BTW, which year is this game supposed to be set in? Macintosh came out in 1984) (BTW, there are still dollars everywhere, so I guess it's fits the nonsensical setting) (BTW, I just checked, it's 1989, I guess Alex wanted the 1980s mode to be set 30 years before the current year and was caught by the fact that "30 years ago" is now the 1990s)
– of course the fucking yakuza is in, weren't we already over this?
– the skirts are too short – Alex, watch some 1980s/early 1990s anime, the skirts cover the knees
– rival names looked at least relatively normal, but some seemed suspicious, so maybe I'll analyze them later

Based on screenshots from /r/Osana:
– the yellow subtitle font fits, I guess, as it was used with tons of 1980s and 1990s anime, but it's not applied everywhere, making an even bigger stylistic mess than before
– I take back what I said about the names

 

[Unknown_man1991]

And course it still look like shit

 

[Activelo]

And yes, you can still kill the rivals at the start of the day (before 7:10 AM) and get away with it.

Edit: Video is appearing as an mp3 file even though it's an mp4. Until the issue is fixed, I attached the zip file with the video.

Edit2: The only rival immune to this speedrun strategy is the final one, aka the junior detective. She has other people surrounding her and trying to stall her by initiating a conversation doesn't work. Even then, all you have to do is giggle to lure her to an empty classroom and off her quickly before her friends come in.

Edit3: Just finished all 10 weeks and it took me around 30 minutes, assuming you do nothing else. Just don't expect a "good" ending because you'll get judged guilty.

 

[Untrue and Dishonest]

You know, I always believed he added these gimmicks so he would delay actually having to work on the game and get patreon money, but I'm starting to think he really is just retarded.

 

[Natsuki]

Tbh wouldn't surprise me if he finished before because ryoba ends up as a sahm and we know how much of a pervert he is. Also Alex the first rival is way to similar to natsuki from doki doki. And since he was able to make this in a month or less what's stopping him to make the game. I mean if he did it would end up as one of those stories of the game Dev that out so much love into the game that took them years until it was perfect in their eyes and we all know he would love the ass pat he would get from it

Better be careful or else your mom will be the next rival
