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?
“Iām 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 
Yandere Dev… I know you probably won’t read this comment but I will write it anyways. Thank you. This game is part of me, it’s part of my life. I want to thank you, all the work you’ve done… thank you. I’ve been following the Development of this game since it was only 5% complete, and I always expected a lot from you, and still you have exceeded my expectations. You’re a great game developer and I admire your willpower. 12 hours a day? I don’t see myself working that much (I’m 15, maybe it’s because I’m a bit lazy sometimes :P). Your game helped me a lot all this time. It gave me enterteinment, it helped me out of sorrow, Your game prompts me to move forward in life, all because of you. Please,don’t cancel the game D: . I wish you a happy New Year Dev. Please, take a break after this update, you deserve it.
Greetings from Spain.
PD: I didn’t send you any e-mails. Meh, I just wanted you to know it :v.
Thanks for your kind words!
You don’t need to thank me. We are all here to support you, right? Cheer up! ^u^
Yandere dev what time will the update take place tomorrow I’m really excited for this update this is really intense for a 10 year old to keep inside him
I remember that when I found this game I was searching some videos about yandere characters on youtube.
I was listening to a Yandere parody song called Yandere Dream and one of the suggested videos was a short video of this game.
Yanderedev’s channel had less then 8 videos and a few subscribers.
I began searching for more information and ended on this blog.
I would never imagined that it would become something so popular and amazing in such a short time.
Congratulations Yanderedev. You are making a wonderful job with this game.
I really hope that in this new year the game gets more cool features and that it becomes a even greater game.
And don’t forget to rest and take care of your health.
A happy new year to you and to everyone that supports the game.
Your welcome YandereDev š
I can not wait till the demos out when it is Iam probably going to have a massive party ššš(by the way I come from the United kingdom)šššššššššššššššššš
And thank you for all your hard work I really do apreshet all of it and I know I can’t spell but still from the land of tea and crumpets
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ššššššššššššššššššš
My bother told me about that game. And so I told to my friends in Facebook haha I even told to my mom!
I’m from Brazil and it’s seems that Baixaki is totally out of date. Maybe it’s being abandoned.
Happy New Year and I’m really looking forward January 1st. Let’s celebrate New Year killing Kokona.
P;s: I’m learning how to act, so I can be a voice actress when the game is finished and you start wanting translators and voice actors.
TambƩm sou brasileira \o/

Happy new year YandereDev!You work so good at all time!Take a break like September 1st’s video!And congratulations for 5 million download!
Felicidades por tu juego, se que probablemente no leas esto ya que esta en espaƱol, pero, por si las moscas, veo que tu no eres cualquier creador de juegos, solo quieres dar un buen juego y no cobrar como algunas compaƱĆas ( ssssbethesda, rockstarsss). Yo conocĆ tu juego gracias a town gameplay (un mal youtuber, pero gracias a el te conocĆ) no por markplier. como sea, te deseo que el juego quede como TU quieras (incluso sobre el fandom) Bueno, sigue asĆ yandere dev!!!!
I’m from Vietnam and I visit Game Development Blog everyday, but why there is no view from Vietnam????? š¦
Maybe it’s because YandereDev has only shown a small portion of the amount of traffic he gets from countries (the very top + the very bottom), so yours would be somewhere in the middle.
its probably somewhere in the middle
yAnDeRe DeV, yAnDeRe DeV will you be my Senpai? :3
Brasil em terceiro CARALEOOOOOOOO!!!
BR sendo BR ā¤ HUASHUSAUH'
I accidentally discovered this game while I was fooling around on my Grandma’s laptop.Back when the dumpsters weren’t even implemented yet.I’m so glad the game got so far and gained so many followers.There’s a few of us in school who follow the development daily and play all the updates countless times.
Currently,I’m waiting for the script to be done so that I can volunteer to translate the game to Serbian so that all my friends can finally play it in their native language!
Oh,and,by the way:
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YANDERE DEV AND ALL YAN-SIM FANS!
Best wishes from Serbia!
Omg… The year is ending! I can’t wait to the jan 1st š. HAPPY NEW YEAR YandereDev!! šššš
Thank you for this year yanderedev, all the new update have been awesome.
I really want to see what you can give us next year.
Happy new year.
South Koreans are also watching and loving it! Traffic of North Korea is…..maybe South Koreans’…?

A yandere lover… (wish I could find my own yandere-chan)
I’m from Sweden, and it’s not first? I need to tell more of my friends about this fabulous game… But jokes aside, thank you for this AWESOME game. I really, really, REALLY love it, and I’m dying of excitement when you post a new build. Keep up the great work! And say hi to Yandere-Chan from me! ^^
I found this game through MattShea’s channel, and I got to say best find of 2015! I can’t wait to watch the development of it continue into 2016. I am definitely buying this game when it becomes official tot hank you for all the hard work. I’ll try to donate before that too to show my support! Thank you for creating an awesomely sinister game! Some days you just need to plot someone’s demise to get ya through the day. Thank you for a wonderful game and I hope you continue working on it. Remember, as many haters, there are as many fans who support and cheer you on! I will patiently, but eagerly await the next build, which I guess is tomorrow isn’t it? But I am sure we can all understand if it’s late because you should enjoy the holiday too! Thank you once again!
supporting you till the end ā„ from egypt
To be honest, Yandere Simulator is something I’ve been looking for for a while. I wanted a free simulator with some kind of story line as well, and here you are.
Thank you so much for entertaining us with your amazing game. You’ve done an amazing job so far and we all support you to the bottom of our hearts.
From Russia ~
Hey! I’m from Malaysia, I’ve been following you since the beginning of 2015! I’ve been downloading your builds and supporting you quietly š I’ve been rooting for your efforts and creative ideas. Ganbatte! I’m sure this game would be a great success on kickstarter. Happy new year to you!
Hi! I’m from Poland! I verry love you game! ā„ Happy New Year!! ā„ I want the 1st Update xDD ā„ āŗ
omg, nie sÄ dziÅam, że spotkam tu kogoÅ z Polski.
przysiÄgam hahah
You probably won’t see this, but I am so happy that this game will reach 2016 I have been supporting you and your game, after you release the January 1st build, you deserve to rest and have a small break, after you worked so hard for about 30 days! I wish to suggest more things for you to add but, it would probably be suggested/upcoming/dumb, but I wouldn’t rather telling you because I’d slow your work down by about 1%
Hey hey hey, Devpai!~
Thank you so much for taking hours of your entire life for making this game so we can play. Happy New Year…
Greetings from all the Brazilian Yandere Simualtor comunity!~
Wishing you a very Happy New Year Yanderedev!!! I love your game so much! Since I’m a yandere fan, I’m a HUGE fan of your work too. I really appreciate your hard work and dedication. I’ll be supporting your game until the end.
Greetings from the Philippines! (we’re not in the list though, I wonder why -_-)
Congrats dude, I’ve watched this game’s development from the shadows for awhile now and I’m quite impressed. You’re an inspiration to me, thanks to you, I know what I wanna do with my life, I hope you continue to be awesome
Dangabit! I was hoping Singapore would at least be there somewhere… Too bad! š
Anyways, congrats so far on your work. We are all rooting for ya! š Without you overworking to death of course š
Greetings from Austria :3
Your awesome game literally took my breath away!
I also told my german Friend about it and we’re playing it nearly every night while talking on the phone ^^
We can’t wait to finally play the latest update tomorrow š
May your creativity last and the game become a huge success :3
Yandere Dev, I don’t think anyone would care if you started charging for the game. Just 1 dollar. That is beyond reasonable, and I’m willing to bet people would be more than happy to pay a fee if it helps with the development. Is anyone else with me on this?
Heh, a Thai person over here. My real life classmates know about it, but I’m still surprised the game is that popular in my country.
OH MAN LMAO DID I REALLY POST THAT MANY COMMENTS
but i wanted to be a hipster!
(from UK)
Wow! Amazing! I just find it odd that Colombia does not appear, as I know many people here (Colombia) they download all updates to the game … Okay, anyway… this is amazing!
Hey yandere-dev and happy new year i can’t wait to celebrate tonight by killing everyone in school (not in real life of course) also i hope your 2016 is amazing i love you <3<3<3
@YandereDev If You Was Make Your Download Link As Adfly Short Link You Would Get Alot But You Forget This š
Happy New Year, Yandere Dev!
I’ve been watching the development of Yandere Simulator progress since the very beginning. I just want to congratulate you on all of the hard work you’ve put into the game.
When I’m bored, when I’m sad, or just need entertainment(or if I need Yandere-chan to take out my anger for me) I’ve searched up Yandere Simulator.
Keep up the great work, and take two more weeks for a break if you need it after you complete the January 1st build. You’ve earned it.
Best wishes to Dev Senpai,
sincerely the best Kouhai. :3
attempt to download the game but will not let me , someone can help me pls?
BRBRBR!!!!!
Yanderedev, you are the best!! Just love your game and I’m counting hours for the next update!
Baixaki is a crazy page… Anyway, I’m Brazilian and I can help when you want to translate YS for Brazilian Portuguese. š
Happy New Year!!
attempt to download the game but will not let me, someone can help me please??
Your better off waiting till the new build is out. Tomorrow sometime, to download its simple. 1: Go to the top of the page under game development click downloads. 2: Scroll down till you see this link http://www.mediafire.com/download/c373p66xnm8xl3j/YandereSimDec3rd.rar – Its the current build. 3: follow media fire instructions and download. If thats not your problem explain what is.
I think you have not understood me , I have done all that you say, before I have the game was installed but I want to reinstall and leaves me and that I have the same programs as before
God! You Mr. Dev have gone very far in a very short time! I am Athena and I am a fan of this game from the 3% of it! My english is not my original speaking language so please pardon me. My language is Greek.Also here from the Mediterranean countries have downloads and page views, Me and all my friends at school have downloaded the game.You are making me cry right now because of hapiness… I am so happy that i am following the development of Yandere Simulator! š Happy new Year!
I feel he could have done more it’s been two years, I do think he made great progress but there’s something missing. Im looking forward to purchasing this game. I really hope this new build has something that will make it worth playing non stop, perhaps a goal that takes a long time to accomplish but little work on the developers part to create?
Of course I don’t mean all by your self, but if he had a team that was willing to work with 100% with your his goals in mind this game would be much further. I am sure 100% or at least 95% of the game is done in Dandere Dev’s head.
