2015 is almost over! Let’s review some data about the blog!
- In 2014, this blog was viewed 184,000 times.
- In 2015, this blog was viewed 30,000,000 times!
- In 2014, the busiest day of the year was July 2nd, with 10,441 views.
- In 2015, The busiest day of the year was August 22nd with 216,504 views!
(That’s probably because of a very popular video that Markiplier uploaded on August 21st!)
My longest “posting streak” was during the first 5 days of December, when I updated the blog 5 days in a row. In fact, I’ve probably made more blog posts this month than any other month!
The most-viewed blog posts were “Please Stop Sending Me Stupid E-mails!” “E-mail Problems and Download Problems” and “Things You Should Not E-mail YandereDev About“. Wow! I really did try my hardest to push that message, didn’t I?
The next most-viewed blog post was the School Atmosphere Update post. Before that, the most-viewed blog post was the Sanity In Yandere Sim post, waaaaay back in January!
Here’s where most of the blog’s traffic comes from.
Wow! More traffic comes from YouTube than all other sources combined. Yandere Simulator’s popularity can be directly attributed to Let’s Players. I’d like to extend my thanks to everyone who plays this game on YouTube!
This blog received a lot of traffic from AlphaBetaGamer. I think that’s because, for a very long time, this post on AlphaBetaGamer was the top Google search result for “Yandere Simulator Download”.
A lot of this blog’s traffic comes from Facebook. Why are you telling your friends and family that you bully schoolgirls and take panty shots?
There’s also a lot of traffic coming from VK, which is basically the Russian equivalent of Facebook. Wow! It looks like there’s a very active Yandere Simulator community in Russia!
I wonder why there is so much traffic coming from a Brazilian site called Baixaki? Probably because someone is hosting a really old build of the game there. But that build is from June! How embarrassing!
People from 223 different countries have viewed this blog! Here are the top 10:
Mexico, Brazil, France, Argentina, Spain, Chile, Thailand…wow! There are a lot of non-English speakers that enjoy Yandere Simulator! I’m looking forward to the day when I finalize the English script so that I can begin to provide the option to change the language that the game is displayed in.
Hmm…so, what are the countries that have viewed this blog the lowest number of times? Let’s take a look.
There is ONE dude in Samoa who knows what Yandere Simulator is. Who is it? Is it this guy?
Wait a second! This blog has been viewed 25 times in North Korea. But, Internet access in North Korea is limited to government usage only. Does this mean that someone in the North Korean government is a fan of Yandere Simulator? Could it be…Glorious Leader Himself?!
In 2015, the people who made the most comments on this blog were:
- Glb Jlznv, with 462 comments.
- Irosuhana, with 359 comments.
- poofymushroom, with 312 comments.
Wow! Thank you for taking such an interest in Yandere Simulator! But…I wonder…what have they been commenting about? I hope they weren’t just spamming “YandereDev is a loser!” the whole time…
Over the course of the past year, the latest debug build of the game has been hosted on several different websites: Mediafire, Mega, yanderesimulator.com, Google Docs, and yanderegame.com. So, how many times has the game been downloaded?
- Downloads from Mediafire: 3,722,039
- Downloads from Mega: 865,744
- Downloads from YandereSimulator.com: 242,564
- Downloads from Google Docs: 97,681
- Downloads from Yanderegame.com: 63,290
If we add up all of those numbers, then we can conclude that…
WOW! I’ve created a game that has been downloaded almost 5 million times! That’s pretty awesome!
(….most game developers probably would have started charging for the game by this point…)
Just imagine: What if I had received $1 for each download? The entire game would definitely have been funded by now!
So, what did I write at the end of last year’s Annual Report?
“I’m hoping to release a playable demo by March 1st, and launch a Kickstarter by April 2nd.”
…well, that sure didn’t happen. I’d love to finish implementing all core gameplay mechanics by March 1st of this year, and launch a Kickstarter by April 2nd of this year, but I definitely don’t want to make any promises. (After all, it didn’t work the last time…)
The only thing I CAN promise is that there will be a new build of the game uploaded on January 1st!
Here is the last time you’ll hear me say this in 2015: Thank you very much for following the development of Yandere Simulator!
Yandere Simulator Development Blog 
If she was able to feel emotions, Yandere chan would have been so happy to see so much people helping her to get Senpai!There is no need to thanks us for following the development but we all need to thank you for developing the game
Saludos desde Chile! Siempre comparto el juego con amigos y a muchos les gusta :)) Gracias por todo tu trabajo :)))))

Hey, YandereDev! I’m from Singapore and I really enjoyed playing Yandere Simulator! My brothers love playing it too. We can’t wait for your next build! Thank you for making this and we really appreciate your hardwork!

heh, not only in Russia, maybe in Belarus (I from Belarus)
The description of the game in Baikaxi is hilarious, lol
I agree
looking forward a new year with Yandere Simulator at its very best! thanks for all your hard work in the past year and please continue doing your best always
There’s also a little tiny percentual of downloads from an Italian girl who LOVES YanSim ♡
Hello! Here in germany there is also a bunch of yandere-sim fans, and we really love your game :D.
Can confirm this 😀
I went to Germany for a school trip to the xmas markets, I LOVE it! Thinking of living in Germany when I grow up 😉 I still can’t speak German very well but I’m gonna try my best to learn ❤
Okay, I should read all those comments to find out, but MEH. Too lazy. I love Yandere Simulator and was some kind of depressed after that thing on 15th, but I can understand YanDev. By the way, am I the only german Girl here? I told my friends to play this and one of them wants to visit me because of this game. Her laptop is too dumb for this high-quality-game. She already loves it from what I told and showed her. Heehee, soon you´ve got at least 3 or 4 more fans from Germany. Like we would say in Germany now to end this: Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr! (Happy New Year.)
Not the only one :D. I’m from germany too
That´s great. You know, I just made myself this account because I wanted to say something^^ I´m a talkative one.
Congrats, Devpai! You really deserve it! A great year for you, and us, your fans!
Hello YandereDev! Congrats for all the people that enjoy this awesome game! You deserve it for all the hardwork in this whole year! Hope you have a great new year, I will wait for the next build, greeting from Argentina! 😀
Spain, woohoo!! *rises flag*
I really wanted to know how north korea got access………….
It is rumored (obviously in South Korea) that schooled children are being taught how to hack and stuff, so it is very possible some teens could have hacked around the North Korean network and accessed it hahahaha.
OR some people set up a private router (something like a VPN) there so they won’t get caught by their moms.
Still hilarious. XD
XD omg I wanna see that happen ❤
I want to know YandereDev. What came first the vocaloids or Yandere-Sim? and why have you only used some vocaloids like Minori and Miku and Teto and Rin?
He only used Miku as a reference. Teto and the others was pure coincidence 🙂
I thought Miku was a coincidence too!
there are millions of other vocaloids like Lily, Gakupo, Kaito, Haku, didn’t you use Gumi? The only boys I know are Gakupo, (Purple hair) Len, (blonde hair) and Kaito, (Blue hair) I just don’t understand! 😦
BTW Naver is a South Korean (which exists a Japanese version) portal site that lets the users host their own internet forum cafes and blogs (hence blog.naver.com) as a service. So hooray for the otakus in Korea!
*as for North Korea, it is rumored that schooled children are being taught how to hack and stuff, so it is very possible some teens could have hacked around the North Korean network and accessed it hahahaha. or some people set up a private router (something like a VPN) there.
The interesting thing is this blog is constantly being blocked by the Korean government…..just yesterday i used a proxy to access this blog
(I’m not even residing in Korea right now, i’m attending an international school in CHINA using VPN. Wow….)
As for popularity in South Korea (which is not shown on the charts for some reason D:):
BJ-ing (broadcasting-jockey, basically live-streaming like Twitch) is pretty common to see happen in South Korea too, with the mok-bang and all. It is likely some anime-fan live-streamers got a hand on the game and their fans spread the word. I saw one channel in June and it was hilarious with the dragging bodies and all so it was how I got to know the game.
You have also fans from Poland, too ^-^!
Baixaki is a pretty popular site for downloading software in brazil, and i’ve seen quite a few brazilian let’s players play yandere sim, so since the site is so popular (and most people who watch those let’s plays probably don’t speak english) people go there instead to download the game.
Congratulations on the game’s progress and thanks for putting so much time and effort into it, i can’t wait for the Jan 1st build.
It is truly amazing how far the game has come in terms of popularity when it is still in its debug build stage. Just imagine what the fully fledged game could be like…such a thing is so exciting to ponder over. Hopefully 2016 will hold great things for Yandere Sim! Thanks so much Dev for your work on this spectacular project! 🙂
Wow, this is amzing YandereDev, you did a great job! I am Chilean, and i am happy because me and y friend helped to be in the top.
We liike sooo much your game,and i hope Chile will be minimun in the number 3 of the top, YANDERES WILL TAKE THE WORLD!
Hi,I am from Hong Kong!!
Same here!
I’ve been following the development for more than a year,and the community has been ever growing since
YandereDev,keep up the good work!
Don’t thank us! it’s YOU who we should thank! thank you for replying to my watercolour fan art! it made my day!
Hiiiii! I’m from Brazil! I’m so happy that Brazil is on the Top 10!
Well, I think I’m the only one that play this game in my school
The youtuber that makes me play Yandere Sim is AzzMan, and I met the game by some Brazilian youtubers some months ago.
I think I wrote something wrong. Sorry.
Kisses and Hugs from Brazil! And sorry for Baixaki, I hate this guy to. If we search for “Yandere Simulator Download”, it shows Baixaki before Yandere Dev.
Pensei que só tivesse eu do Brasil aqui :v
Bom, de acordo com aquela imagem tem uns 2 milhões do Brasil aqui :v
USA! USA!
So long ago this was the title screen.. Look at how far we’ve gotten guys! 😀 :,)
Reblogged this on catshby.
You’re so very welcome, Yandere-Dev. I hope you had a good holiday and have a happy New Years.
Congratulations, YandereDev! You have made an explosively popular game that has already spread like wildfire before it has even been finished! We all wait for the next update and I wish you well for the upcoming year!
Hello yanderedev
I’m from the philippines and i’m a huge fan of this game, been playing since the first release of the kidnapping update
Hello again 🙂
I first got a glimpse of this game when a youtuber- Lost Pause uploaded a video about it. Ever since then i’ve been following yandere-sim on its updates as well as the blog and i hope that the actual game be a success in the future.
If yandere-sim is very popular now in the debug stage then it will even be more popular in the actual game.
Have a pleasant new year everyone
Yes ! A new build the day of my birthday! This is amazing.
Oh and yes, a lot of French people love Yandere Simulator ! I’m a moderator from the first website of Yandere Sim French.
