August 26th Bug-Fixing Update

I’ve got some bug fixes and some improvements to the behavior of wet students! Scroll down past this lovely illustration by Inan0 to see the latest fixes and additions to the game.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug that would cause the game to play sound effects out of the left audio channel or the right audio channel based on the orientation of Yandere-chan’s head, rather than the orientation of the camera.
• Fixed bug that would cause the purple-haired girl to walk around school wet or naked if Yandere-chan went to class immediately after dumping water or blood on the purple-haired girl.
• Fixed bug that would allow the player to dump a bucket of water off the school rooftop outside of the purple-haired girl’s phone call event.
• Fixed bug that would break the purple-haired girl’s pathfinding if she was following Yandere-chan before her phone call event triggered.
• Fixed bug that would cause a photograph of a dumpster to be registered as a “corpse photograph” if a corpse was inside of the dumpster.
• Fixed bug that would allow the player to bathe in the shower room while holding an item in their hand or dragging a corpse.
• Fixed bug that would cause the game to display the incorrect button prompt at the portal that leads into school.
• Fixed bug that would cause the player to see a floating hair wig during a “noticed by Senpai” game over event.
• Fixed bug that would make a teacher say two different phrases simultaneously upon witnessing murder.

New Wet NPC Behavior

• If the purple-haired girl sees a corpse while she is wet with blood, she runs to the shower area and cleans the blood off of her body rapidly before fleeing the school.
• If the purple-haired girl sees a corpse while she is wet with water, she decides that she doesn’t care about drying off, and just flees the school.
• If the purple-haired girl sees a corpse while she is naked, she changes into her gym uniform before she flees the school (unless she is bloody).

I’ve finished moving into my new home! Now I finally have some free time to work on the game again…but I still have over 175 bug reports to go through, and I’m going to take a 2-week vacation starting on September 1st, so I don’t think I’ll have much time to do anything other than bug fixes between now and the start of my vacation…anyway, I’ll try my best to get a cool new feature into the game between now and September 1st!

Another day, another bug-fix build! As always, scroll down for the list of bugs fixed.

• If you dump blood on the purple-haired girl, then let her see you covered in blood while she is also covered in blood, she will presume that you are a victim of a prank, and will not think less of you or give you a reputation penalty.
• Fixed bug that would allow Yandere-chan to talk to the purple-haired girl before her Monday Lunchtime event started, which would cause lots of bugs during the event.
• Fixed bug that would cause a bloody uniform to spawn behind Yandere-chan if the purple-haired girl was removing a bloody uniform while Yandere-chan was bloody.
• Fixed bug that would cause ragdolls to levitate in midair and spin wildly when dragged to the part of the rooftop where Yandere-chan can push a girl into a dumpster.
• Fixed bug that would allow the player to dump a bucket of water off the school rooftop even when the chain-link fence was put up.
• Fixed bug that would cause Yandere-chan to rapidly move back and forth when attempting to grab a dumpster. (I hope.)
• Fixed bug that would cause Yandere-chan to sometimes freeze when dipping a mop into a bucket of water. (I hope.)
• Fixed bug that would cause Yandere-chan to not spawn any bloody footprints while on the school rooftop.
• Fixed bug that would allow Yandere-chan to drag a corpse and push a dumpster at the same time.
• Fixed bug that would allow Yandere-chan to drag a corpse that was inside of a dumpster.
• Turned down the volume of the bike music in the town.

I still have many more bugs to fix before I’ll begin adding more new features to the game. I sure do hope that the bugs go by quickly!

August 20th Bug-Fixing Build

To download the newest build, click here!

Here comes another update that is not quite significant enough for a YouTube video, but it definitely worth describing with a blog post!

Once again, this update is mostly about fixing bugs. There are still tons of other bugs that I still need to fix, but I decided to submit a new build with several important bugs fixes. (After all, I really want to stop getting e-mails about these bugs…)

The biggest difference between this build and all previous builds is that the process for cleaning blood off of Yandere-chan’s body has changed.

New Process For Changing Yandere-chan’s Clothing

• Now, when Yandere-chan is bloody, her only option in front of a locker is to take off her bloody clothing and become nude.
• When Yandere-chan removes her bloody clothing, her nude body is still bloody. Yandere-chan must bathe in the shower room in order to clean the blood off of her body.
• After Yandere-chan has cleaned the blood off of her body, she is able to change into another uniform at her locker.
• When Yandere-chan removes a bloody school uniform, gym uniform, or swimsuit, it appears on the ground as a pickup that can be disposed of at the school incinerator.

If you’d like to see a list of all the other new additions in this build, scroll down past this beautiful illustration made by Riinabs, who specializes in very bloody and NSFW artwork!

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed bug that would cause the purple-haired girl to begin walking away from Yandere-chan in the middle of a conversation if a “go to event” flag was triggered while speaking to Yandere-chan.
• Fixed bug that would make the “Leave Note” button prompt appear at the purple-haired girl’s locker even if the player had not eavesdropped on the conversation about domestic violence.
• Fixed bug that would make the purple-haired girl forget that she had to use the toilet if Yandere-chan alarmed her while she was walking to the restroom.
• Fixed bug that would cause the purple-haired girl’s phone conversation to take place even if she was killed in the middle of the conversation.
• Fixed bug that would make non-interactive button prompts appear in the purple-haired girl’s locker.

Misc

• Yandere-chan’s swimsuit texture, gym uniform texture, and nude texture can now be modified in the same manner as the rest of her clothing.

With the number of bug reports I’m getting, it’s possible that I’ll spend the next 10 days fixing bugs instead of adding new features to the game. I really hope that I’ll be able to add a new elimination method to the game by September 1st, but it looks a little unlikely. We’ll just have to see how things turn out!

August 18th Bug-Fixing Update

To download the newest build, click here!

Golly! There sure were a lot of bugs in the last two builds. I’m still working through all of them, but I decided to fix some of the most commonly-reported ones. Scroll down to see a list of all the latest fixes!

• Fixed bug that would cause Yandere-chan to transform into a horrific nightmare-inducing Eldritch monstrosity if she changed clothing in the locker room while Hateful Mode was active.
• Too many people were accidentally hitting the “Skip to 6:00 PM” debug button, so that functionality is now only accessible through the Debug Menu accessed by pressing the “\” key.
• Fixed bug that would allow the player to take out their phone camera while attacking a teacher, and view the “caught by teacher” cutscene from a first-person view.
• Fixed bug that would cause all of the button prompts above students’ heads to disappear if a student spotted a corpse while speaking to Yandere-chan.
• Fixed bug that would cause a teacher to freeze and never move if she witnessed a murder while a student was reporting a corpse/murder to her.
• Fixed bug that would allow Yandere-chan to talk to the purple-haired girl while she was wet, which caused a dozen other bugs.
• Made the “Hateful Mode” hairstyle accessible during normal gameplay by hitting the “H” key to switch hairstyles.
• Fixed bug that would cause the purple-haired girl to remain “Drownable” after being alarmed by Yandere-chan.
• Fixed bug that would cause the “leftmost” dumpster to teleport when Yandere-chan tried to push or pull it.
• Fixed bug that would make students and Senpai turn bald during the “Spotted by Senpai” cut-scene.
• Improved Info-chan’s student portraits.

There are still many more bugs to fix; I just wanted to quickly put up a new build that doesn’t have some of these bugs. I’ll probably continue to update this blog post with further bug fixes over the course of this week.

Senpai Customization Update

Last Updated: August 15th 9:00 PM

If you’re looking for the latest build, click here!

I still feel really bad about how long it took me to produce the last update, so I decided to release a new update as soon as possible.

The biggest feature in this new update is the ability to design your Senpai’s appearance! You can change his skin color, hair color, eye color, hair style, and even give him some eye-wear. Unfortunately, you can’t change his gender yet, but hopefully, that will be coming soon. If there’s anything else you’d like to be able to customize about your Senpai, please let me know in the comments below.

(Asking to customize his personality / voice would be a big problem, since Senpai will potentially have hundreds of lines, and that’s an awful lot of lines to re-record for each personality, for each voice, in each language that game is released in…so, please don’t request anything that would change his voice.)

A lot of people have expressed interest in Yandere Simulator’s story, so I added the beginnings of an intro cut-scene. There are no visuals yet, only voices; the plan is to add character models and animations in a future update. For now, the voice-over alone should should paint a clearer picture of Yandere-chan’s personality for you.

I also added a text message cut-scene that portrays the moment that Yandere-chan and Info-chan first meet one another.

I also added some other stuff, as well. Here’s a complete list of all new additions:

• Added a “Senpai Customization” screen.
• Senpai’s character model reflects the appearance that you give him in the Senpai Customization screen.
• Added the beginnings of an “intro cut-scene” – however, there are no visuals yet, only voice.
• Added a short text message conversation between Yandere-chan and Info-chan to establish how they first meet.
• Fixed bug that would cause Yandere-chan’s textures to go crazy if Yandere Vision was activated after changing Yandere-chan’s clothing.
• Fixed bug that would remove the steam clouds from Yandere-chan’s nude body if she was spotted by Senpai or a teacher while nude.
• Added a new accessory that has unique functionality.
• Changed the color of the green-haired-girl’s panties.
• Added a missing teacher portrait.

I’m going to be moving into a new home in a few days, and I’m going to be extremely busy once a certain stealth video game comes out on September 1st, so I won’t have very much time to work on the game for the next 30 days. Ideally, the next update would happen on September 1st, but I can’t guarantee it. I’ll try to always release SOMETHING on the 1st and 15th days of every month, even if it’s something simple, like this update.

I hope you enjoy customizing Senpai and watching the cut-scenes!

Dumpsters, Buckets, Bathing, and Electrocution

Wow! That was the longest delay ever! The last time I truly made a significant update to the game was July 16th, when I added the ability to drown girls.

As always, the best way to demonstrate what’s new in the latest build is with a video:

If you’d like to see a list of all the bug fixes and additions to the game, scroll down:

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug that would cause all kinds of terrible nonsense if Yandere-chan killed the purple-haired-girl at the exact moment that the Wednesday lunchtime rooftop event was beginning.
• Fixed bug that would result in Yandere-chan getting expelled during the school subject screen if the player equipped a weapon while simultaneously beginning class.
• Fixed bug that would cause Yandere-chan to be unable to go home if she met the “can’t go to class” criteria as the time of day changed from classtime to clubtime.
• Fixed bug that would allow Yandere-chan to hear the two girls having a conversation on the rooftop while Yandere-chan was on the 3rd floor of the school.
• Fixed one of the exploits that would allow an NPC to open the door to the gym storage room when Yandere-chan was inside of it with an unconscious NPC.
• Fixed bug that would cause the panties in Yandere-chan’s room to remain onscreen as a black dot even after the player had closed the panty menu.
• Fixed bug that would prevent Yandere-chan from speaking to NPCs while sane, if her sanity had dropped beneath a certain threshold in the past.
• Fixed bug that prevented the purple-haired girl from opening her locker during her “check locker for notes” animation.
• Fixed bug that would cause Yandere-chan to slowly float upward into the air while using the “Pass Time” feature.
• Fixed bug that would allow Yandere-chan to hold an item in her hands while drowning the purple-haired girl.
• Fixed bug that would allow the player to drown the purple-haired girl after stabbing her to death.
• Fixed bug that would cause the “Talk” and “Drown” button prompts to appear at the same time.
• Fixed bug that would cause objects to float in midair near the incinerator.
• Fixed bug that gave teachers a low running speed when chasing Yandere-chan.
• Attempted to fix bug that would make students get stuck on doorways.
• Restored the music that was missing from the Hatred easter egg.

Additions and Adjustments

• If Yandere-chan aims her camera at a girl’s skirt, the game will not label her as “Visibly Lewd” unless she is less than 5 meters away from that girl.
• Adjusted Yandere-chan’s face texture so that there is no longer a permanent shadow on her face.
• Added many new options to the debug menu accessed by pressing the “\” key.
• Dimmed the “SNAP” option to make it clear that it’s not available yet.
• Replaced the Madoka theme song with an original music track.
• Added a new eyewear accessory activated by the “P” key.
• Added a new easter egg.

Buckets

• Added the ability to dump a bucket of liquid over the railing on the school rooftop.
• If a bucket of liquid hits a girl, she reacts to it with animation and voice.
• If a bucket of water hits a girl, she becomes wet with water. If a bucket of blood hits a girl, she becomes wet with blood.
• If a girl is dripping wet with liquid, she runs to the girl’s locker room, removes her clothing, walks to the shower room, and bathes herself.
• If a girl’s school uniform has been ruined, she wears her gym uniform for the rest of the day.
• Added the ability to turn on and off lights in the girls’ bathroom.
• Added the ability to unscrew the light switch in the girls’ bathroom using a screwdriver.
• Added the ability to dump a bucket of liquid over the top of a bathroom stall.
• If a girl is dripping wet with liquid and attempts to turn on the light in the girls’ bathroom, she will get electrocuted and die.

Dumpsters

1. Added the ability to push and pull dumpsters.
2. Added the ability to open and close dumpster lids.
3. If the player positions a dumpster underneath a spot where a girl can be pushed, a symbol will appear above Yandere-chan’s head, signifying that the player should leave the dumpster in that spot and open the lid.
4. If Yandere-chan pushes a girl off the school rooftop while a dumpster is below her with an open lid, the girl will fall straight into the dumpster.
5. If a girl is inside of a dumpster, she counts as a hidden corpse, and Yandere-chan can go to class without a problem.
6. Yandere-chan can dump a bag of garbage into a dumpster to cover up corpse so that it won’t be discovered by anyone who looks inside of the dumpster.
7. If Yandere-chan doesn’t cover up the corpse, it will eventually be discovered, and result in a police investigation.

Miscellaneous Additions

• Yandere-chan can change her clothing by approaching her locker in the girls’ locker room. This was only possible thanks to help from Saracen!
• Added a “wifi signal strength” icon to Yandere-chan’s phone, which has secret functionality.
• Added 10 collectible items around the school, and a way to use them.
• Added the ability to turn on and off lights in the girls’ bathroom.
• Added two new hairstyles.
• Added a new NPC.

I hope that people are still interested in Yandere Simulator after all this time has passed without a significant update. Hopefully, the next update won’t take so long.

If you want to learn how you, personally, can stop yourself from delaying the game, heed these words.

August 1st Build Delayed

I’m very sorry! The content I was planning to show off today just isn’t ready yet. I need a few more days to prepare it.

If you’d like to see a brief preview of the content you can expect to see in the next build, you can catch a few glimpses in this video:

If you’d like to have more hints as to what kind of content I’m adding to the next update, here’s a look at my (slightly redacted) list of new features added to the game so far:

Of course, that’s not the extent of the features you’ll be able to enjoy in the next update. There are still more to come!

And, remember, if you want to avoid future delays, don’t e-mail me unless it’s important.
