I’ve got some bug fixes for you! But first, first, check out this cool artwork!

You can see a larger version here.

And you can find the talented artist, Aea, by clicking here.

With that out of the way, it’s time to tell you what bugs got squashed!

May 16th:

  • Limited the speed of the “Pass Time” feature and the speed-up debug controls so that it’s not possible (or at least not easy) to cause the game to run so fast that an NPC’s pathfinding breaks.
  • If an NPC is going to meet up with a friend and the player tries to talk to her, the NPC will politely explain that they are too busy to talk.
  • If two NPCs are having a private conversation and the player walks up to them, they will get annoyed with her and the conversation will end.

Eavesdropping, Notes in Lockers, and Faking Suicide

The latest build can be found here: https://yanderedev.wordpress.com/downloads/

This update contains some of the darkest subject matter so far!

If you think this is unappealing, don’t worry. The final game won’t be this dark ALL the time…unless you want it to be. The player’s actions determine how dark the game gets.

What’s new?

  • Created the code structure for an “Event” system, in which two NPCs break out of their normal routine and go have a conversation somewhere.
  • If the player eavesdrops on two NPCs during an “Event”, new gameplay options will become available.
  • Created an interface for crafting a note and leaving it inside of a girl’s locker.
  • Programmed NPCs to react positively or negatively to a note in their locker, depending on the content of the letter.
  • Programmed NPCs to go stand at a specific location at a specific time, if they responded positive to a note.
  • Added the ability to push a girl off the school rooftop.
  • Added the ability to leave a suicide note on a dead girl’s shoes if the player’s Language skill is high enough.
  • Added a police response to suicide.
  • Programmed the railing on the school rooftop to be replaced with a chain-link fence after a suicide is discovered.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed bug that would cause a teacher to run towards a corpse instead of Yandere-chan if Yandere-chan dragged a corpse in front of that teacher while a student was reporting a corpse to a different teacher.
  • Attempted to fix a bug that would cause a teacher’s pathfinding to break if the teacher spotted a corpse and then that corpse was dumped into the incinerator without the teacher noticing Yandere-chan.
  • Fixed bug that would cause students who died in the middle of the “Heartbroken” or “Expelled” sequence to come back to life in the middle of the sequence.
  • Fixed bug that would cause Yandere-chan to get stuck in “Lewd” status even when not aiming her camera at a girl’s skirt or panties.
  • Fixed bug that would cause the “Expelled” sequence to break if the teacher grabbed Yandere-chan right before 6:00 PM.
  • Fixed bug that would cause NPCs to not react properly to Yandere-chan if she spoke to them while bloody.

Teachers in Yandere Simulator

The latest build can be found here: https://yanderedev.wordpress.com/downloads/

As usual, the latest YouTube video demonstrates the newest features more effectively than a blog post could:

If you’re interested in reading a full list of changes, here you go:

Teachers

  • Added teachers to every classroom.
  • If the player is spotted by a teacher while bloody, carrying a weapon, visibly insane, or taking panty shots, they will be expelled from school.
  • If the player enters another teacher’s class while their class is in session, the teacher will tell the player to leave the room.
  • If the player doesn’t exit a teacher’s class after being told repeatedly to leave, the teacher will take disciplinary measures against the player.
  • If the player is late for a class, the teacher will scold the player. The intensity of the scolding depends on how late the player was.
  • If the player is late for class, they will get fewer Study Points to allocate that day.
  • If the player attempts to attack a teacher, the teacher will resist the attack and debilitate the player, resulting in a game over. (In the future, I will give the player the option to counter-attack the teachers.)

Teacher’s Pets

  • Added the “Teacher’s Pet” personality type.
  • If a student with the Teacher’s Pet personality discovers a corpse or witnesses murder, they will run and tell a teacher.
  • If a teacher is informed of a murder, they will run to the scene of the crime and investigate it.
  • If a Teacher’s Pet witnesses a murder/corpse, but someone else is already reporting a murder/corpse, then the student will run and hide in a classroom instead of informing a teacher.
  • If a Teacher’s Pet informs a teacher of a murder/corpse and leads the teacher to the scene of the crime, but Yandere-chan has already cleaned up the evidence, the teacher will conclude that the student was pulling a prank on her.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed bug that would break Yandere-chan’s animations during the Heartbroken cutscene if she was laughing or using the mop when spotted by Senpai.
  • Fixed bug that would allow Yandere-chan to dip her mop into a bucket of water when that bucket in a different room or behind a wall.
  • Fixed bug that would allow Yandere-chan to dip her mop into a bucket that was much higher or much lower than her elevation.
  • Fixed bug that would cause the “kidnapped prisoner” model to turn black (hairstyle and hair color will still be incorrect).
  • Fixed bug that would prevent camera from centering properly if the player gets a game over while crouching or crawling.
  • Fixed bug that would allow the player to trigger Easter Egg music without changing Yandere-chan’s appearance.
  • Fixed bug that would cause an automatic game over if Senpai noticed Yandere-chan while in “Pass Time” mode.
  • Fixed bug that would cause NPC pathfinding to break if Yandere-chan was blocking the school’s exit.
  • Fixed bug that would cause police countdown timer to display minutes as “1:60” instead of “2:00”.
  • Fixed bug that would allow the player to bring up their phone menu while allocating Study Points.
  • Fixed bug that would cause students to ignore Yandere-chan when she was dragging a corpse.
  • Fixed bug that would cause Senpai’s face to become deformed during Game Over sequence.
  • Fixed bug that could get two weapons stuck in Yandere-chan’s hands simultaneously.
  • Fixed bug that would cause time to keep advancing during the Heartbroken cut-scene.
  • Fixed bug that would allow Yandere-chan to laugh during the Heartbroken cut-scene.
  • Fixed bug that would cause Yandere-chan to get stuck in the mopping animation.
  • Fixed bug that would cause Yandere-chan to “float” when running down stairs.
  • Fixed bug that would cause the wrong text to display over weapon pick-ups.
  • Fixed the textures on the male students during the Titan Easter egg.

Miscellaneous Improvements

  • If a student catches Yandere-chan taking panty shots, Yandere-chan gets a reputation penalty.
  • The player can no longer attend class if they are armed, bloody, insane, or dragging a corpse.
  • Made the camera transitions in the Game Over sequence smoother.
  • Added several new “O key” accessories for Yandere-chan to wear.
  • Removed an Easter egg that was repeatedly reported as a bug.
  • Added props, decorations, and furnishings to the classrooms.
  • Attempted to fix the “Only Senpai comes to school” bug.
