The rivals after Osana get kinda handwaved in the roadmap for one thing, since they would all use Osana as a base, I guess. Once the second rival is implemented, the game's gonna cost money, which sounds really early to start charging for it. That was like the last time we heard about anything other than Osana, that's logical on Alex's part since drawing attention to all the 10(minimum) other ways he can fuck up would kill some hype.

Thanks for helping out with chugging my memory. I still have a feeling that Alex is only going to ramp up his grifting even more post-Osana. The fact that all of these twelvies are going to have to start asking their mommies and daddies if they can purchase a demo for a game in which you kill students in very graphic ways and take panty shots of them as well will go over very well... Not.

Just checking the comments sorted by new again and... yep.
He still has his youtube comments set to "approve only" on virtually all his vids. I went through his 5 most recent videos and they all have 4 month+ old newest comments. Pic related is the most recent comment on his most recent video.

Jfc, that reminds me that it's been 4 and a half months since last posting cringe youtube content. Remember back in 2015-16 when it was on the dot biweekly updates and fan content? That kind of consistent communication in the form of easily digestible youtube content was (and still is) basically unprecedented, even though in hindsight it's because that was where virtually all his effort was going. It no doubt had a massive hand in the game's popularity, even if in hindsight there was probably some view and sub botting going on. Actually competent indie devs could probably stand to learn that from him.

I know that most of the conversation has been centered on Osana, but has Alex said anything about the other rivals since Osana is the first one?

If I recall, earlier in the thread Cleveland had once made a statement about Alex saying the game is just a V-slice and that once Osana is out, that’s it. Alex is done. All the cringe lore and years of worthless Easter eggs and promised gameplay elements and story elements- Those will only come once Alex has a successful crowdfunding campaign and he shoves this mess of a shitstorm onto some other poor souls to fix all of his shit while also bowing down to his every autistic design demand for the game. I think it’s why he holds so dearly to “They’re just placeholders. And it doesn’t matter if my code is shit.”

And it’s also why I feel like the game will definitely not make it because, who is going to fund this shit when even his Patreon is going down and all his supporters are told “All my ideas and things I promised that you’ve been paying me to do won’t happen until you pay me even more money.”

Please correct me if I’m stupid and autistic, but that’s how I’ve seen it for a while

Besides, the only other rival he seems interested in elaborating on is Uberfrau Saikou.

Here's all of the Lunar Scythe art for easy viewing (afaik the first two aren't by Kinuko):

As for everything else it's far too much to embed in a post (and some of it has probably been posted already), so below you can download a full archive of the site. (They're volumes because of KF's upload limit so you'll need something like 7zip/WinRAR to extract)

Alex's autism must be keeping Kuniko in mink and caviar.

I tried to figure out how she charges for commissions, but I can't find any information. Considering she worked on Skull Girls and the Scott Pilgrim game, I imagine it's a lot.

Ok, this is too fucking funny to not share.
The April Fools male rival introduction video has NEARLY DOUBLE the amount of views that the actual rival introduction video. IIRC the real rival introduction video was plastered all over his patreon, wordpress, youtube, etc and this "joke" video absolutely blew up and has such gems for top comments as pic related. I think his fan demographics (especially circa 2016) need not be stated.

I swear, if Alex was actually smart and followed price signals he could've gotten Yandere Simulator out the door as quickly as possible in a minimum playable (and youtube reactable) state, spending a year making a cheap and easy yaoi themed sequel, then merchandising the popular characters up the ass. Bam, easy 25 million dollars.

EDIT: I just thought about it a bit more and realized that Alex Mahan as a multi-millionaire would 100% be taking regular plane visits to Epstein's private island. That's one dark timeline averted, at least.

 

[Rosie Fluff]

He finally "finished" Osana. I don't think it's been tested thoroughly enough but time will tell. Sadly, this came after a fan-game Love Sick began production. This makes it easy to assume that he was forced to work. Also, on the video I learned this from, it appears that YanDev used an alt account to defend himself. Kinda sad if you ask me.

 

[ｃｈｌｏｒｉｎｅ]

Um, you accidentally posted the same thing twice in a row...

 

[Kosher Dill]

I know that most of the conversation has been centered on Osana, but has Alex said anything about the other rivals since Osana is the first one?

Rival #2: "Pac-Man". 4 Raibarus chase you around the school hallways until you can find the right power pill to finish them off in SNAP mode.
Rival #3: "Chess". You're in the grand atrium with a checker-tiled floor, everyone moves like chess pieces, and it's you (the "Red Queen") trying to slip past your rival's 15 Raibaru bodyguards to shank your opponent.
Rival #4: "Arkanoid". It's dodgeball day in gym, and you have to eliminate dozens of Raibarus standing in rank-and-file before you can hit your rival with the rigged exploding ball.
...
Rival #9: "Dynasty Warriors". Use comically oversized versions of your yandere weapons to mow down Raibarus by the hundreds.
Rival #10: "Touhou". You have to dodge infinite waves of densely packed Raibarus bullet hell-style.

Sounds like more fun than the actual game will be

Why am I not surprised he created a complex infographic to explain his game progress? That alone probably took hours to create.
My personal favorite part of this picture is what he wrote in the last panel regarding the price:
"At this point in time, I think it is most likely that the final game will cost about $20. However, this number might change in the future, if it would be necessary in order to recuperate development costs" -----------> $20 $60

Alex would 100% never do this because he hates the thought of anything that could arouse women.

Plus he can't even coom to his own yaoi game. Yandere Sim has been a thinly veiled excuse for legitimatizing Alex's creepy sexual fantasies of virgin women who don't have individual thoughts, feelings, or tastes except for "being with senpai." (And also an excuse to take patreon money and buy a sex doll)

Oh, yeah, and he's just bad with money. He can't even wrap his head around releasing a game soon and making a working game, why would he want to make a profit?

Everything you said was implicit in my post.

Well, at least Alex is somewhat consistent in his failure.

That's Lunar Scythe's opening screen, and my computer is once again being forced to work way too damn hard to render that. Much like YanSim, no framerate cap. Unlike YanSim, even when I impose a reasonable framerate cap it's still almost maxing out my first CPU core for no real reason.
Edit: And naturally, there's a section of the ReadMe dedicated to "If you are experiencing poor performance".

Imagine being a "gamedev" for like what? Eight fucking years? And still incapable of know what multithreading is.

Correction: Alex hates things that arouse women that don’t lead to a direct attraction to him.

I thought that too, until I read his old forum posts about how he didn't think women should masturbate because that's gross.

I went to check the EXIF data on the image to see what software he used, but in the process accidentally found out the image has text layer metadata in it:

Pretty much all the text in the PSD is in here, including some interesting lines that are not in the final image (probably on a hidden layer). Here they are:
· Add Guns · Normal NPCs affected · Lethal and non-lethal · Recreate in-game 4Chan · In-Game Donate Button · Add DLC Only Areas

These are all near the other lines for the PRE-OSANA CHECKLIST section, though it doesn't make sense for some of them to be there.
(I used https://exiftool.org/ if anyone wants to look for this kind of stuff in other images)

 

[Kosher Dill]

Add Guns

Wasn't he already getting flak for making a "school shooter" kind of game without, you know, literally including school shootings?
