Please Stop

DO NOT E-MAIL ME WITH QUESTIONS

DO NOT E-MAIL ME WITH YOUR CHARACTER IDEAS

DO NOT E-MAIL ME WITH REQUESTS FOR THE GAME

DO NOT E-MAIL ME WITH SUGGESTIONS FOR THE GAME

DO NOT E-MAIL ME WITH YOUR BRILLIANT PLAN FOR HOW TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF E-MAILS THAT I RECEIVE

Would you rather have me spend my time typing out a reply to your e-mail, or would you rather have me spend my time putting new features into the game? Obviously, you’d rather see the game get updated, so don’t e-mail me unless it’s extremely important!

For the love of all that is holy, DO NOT e-mail me and ask me when the next update is coming out, because by making me read your e-mail, you’re reducing the amount of time that I can spend working on the game, and thus you’re delaying the next update.

Read this: Please Stop Sending Me Stupid E-mails!

And read this: E-mail Problems and Download Problems

And also read this: Things You Should Not E-mail YandereDev About

Basically,

Also, please DO NOT volunteer if you have zero experience doing whatever it is you’re trying to volunteer to do. Just because you own a microphone, this does not make you a voice actor. Just because you’ve made an MMD video, this does not make you an animator. Just because you can scribble a stick figure onto a piece of paper, this does not make you an artist. Do not volunteer unless you have an impressive portfolio of previous work to show me.

These posts do not stop 100% of all stupid e-mails, but whenever I don’t have a post like this at the top of my blog, I get 10x the number of e-mails that I normally receive.

    • He’s already addressed this “solution ” with a no. Because then he’d have to run the forum too. It’s too much work. He can’t.

      • That’s why I already said, even if this guy is a genius programmer and all, in a matter of communication skills and management, he’s a pile of stubborness and stupidity. That’s why he keeps posting this.
        And believe me, it won’t change because if a matter is unknown, the ignorance of that matter is the same for 7 billions people. Whatever you do, you can’t change the fact that new stupid and unaware people will mail him for nothing.

    • Believe me it’s worse since you have to check two places! And people often spam you with the same stuff at the mail AND at the forum.

    • There’s a subreddit at /r/yandere_simulator, which is not run by YandereDev although he visits it occasionally.

  1. you all need to stop sending him stupid emails. do you want him to waste his time on looking through stupid ass emails? or do you want him to add new features to the game? can y’all just wait, impatient people. If YandereDev is planning to add new features, don’t even think about suggesting him an IDEA. because he has his own, and doesn’t need any of yours. So stop, I’m getting really tired of how YandereDev has to make a video/blog about stop sending him stupid email. He’s trying to work out with animators, and etc. JUST STOP, THIS NEEDS TO STOP NOW. THE AMOUNT OF TIME HE HAS SAID STOP SENDING HIM STUPID EMAIL, Y’ALL JUST BLIND AF.

    • You should probably go say this to the youtube fans of yandere sim. people who check the blog constantly already know that the emails are an issue, but I’m not sure if the youtube section is getting it. :\ (and the people who don’t check his blog actively)

    • I hate 5 year olds that just think they are smart on the Internet and saying things like: “people are so retarded, why do they send yanderedev emails even tho he said 4 times not to send him useless emails”. Not saying that it’s not true but it’s annoying. I don’t care for your
      Replies.

      • If you don’t care for those replies, don’t fucking address them. Nobody gives a flying fuck, and it’s off topic. The whole emails thing is kind of what this blog post is about anyway! What do you want us to talk about, ponies?

  2. But… I though, that aritists are everyone, who sings/draws/writes etc. and it doesn’t matter how many skills they have…

    • Well, professional artists. Sorry, but for a game dev would need a very peofessional artist, this has nothing to do about “everyone is an artist”

      Because truth is. Not everyone is.

    • Nope. thats just what they say to make you feel better about your skills, really. If you want to be an artist/writer/musician/anything really, you have to work for it. Otherwise, its just a hobby.

    • As someone who works reviewings portfolios, there’s a difference between an “artist” and a “professional artist”.

  3. IT’S IMPRESSIVE! How people are retarded enough to keep sending stupid emails being that YandereDev talked to stop MANY times. After all what’s the matter with you? Expect the game to be finalized, it expect to do the updates. Shut up, keep to yourself! See that he is not interested so? And that for example: BUGS. PEOPLE YOU HAVE AWARENESS THAT HE WILL AMEND THE BUGS? AWARENESS THAT THERE IS A REGISTERED PAGE BUG BEFORE THAT SEND EMAIL? It turned out, if you know this page and the bugs that is it. If it’s a bug that interferes with the gameplay and these important things … REPORT! Now, if there is to know one buggy character or spinning, which does not interfere with gameplay or shit your game … SHUT UP! I never even sent an email to YandereDev because I knew that in the future this could cause problems to him. And if you follow with this will cause problems for you! The US actually. And if he is irritated about to stop the construction of the game? Nobody wants that right? I’m not saying he’s going to do it but I would not be surprised. Because you NEED to rest, at least even one day just to sleep or do what they like. In fact, you no longer think the game is amazing? Whatever he put Easter eggs in the game? WAIT OR BOOT MODS FUTURE IN GAME OR YOUTUBERS DO UNDERSTAND? BUT I BEG FOR YANDEREDEV AND THAT AS I DO NOT SEND emails STUPID …. S T O P!!!!! (I speak Portuguese) Portuguese: É realmente impressionantes o quanto vocês são irritantes, pelo amor de deus parem de enviar os emails! Está atrapalhando o trabalho de YandereDev e a construção do jogo, assim ele vai demorando cada vez mais a ser feito! Não percebem?

  4. Welp,it looks like that instead of doing an update,you only send a blogpost saying to “Stop the annoying emails”,maybe you should just delete your email and then you will have peace. At least you will have peace,i know it is very drastic but,i think it is the only way to ACTUALLY eliminate and kill the stupid emails Devpai. Oh and,since i wont reveal my real name,i will put my Name on here as Anonymous.

    • He uses his email to communicate with many volunteers that have helped with the game; deleting his email will probably slow game development and decrease the level of quality of the game when it is released.

    • plus he does actually needs people to send him the bug reports. we are testing the sandbox build for him so that he can eliminate all the bugs as he programs the new features into the game so that it can be nice and clean before the official release. if properly executed, the emails are actually helpful to YandereDev. it’s the stupid ones that he needs to stop.

  5. Main Problem:
    “But my Email isn’t Stupid”
    -Everyone

    Also Main Problem:
    78% of his audience is 11-20 years old, and that demographic is notoriously annoying and stupid and cant follow simple directions
    I would know I was in that age range not too long ago

    • I’m in that age group and I understand his email problem, I write stories on wattpad and my friends are bugging me to upload new chapters when I’m busy with HW

    • I would like to know the demographics of all the people sending him e-mails, and those of the people who are sending him stupid e-mails. I agree that with a fanbase where over three out of every four fans is 11-20, you’re more likely to have people who have the ability to devote the time to a fandom, and have a wish to contribute, while not entirely understanding the difference between a useful contribution and one that is not until they are told directly that their contribution is not useful. That range is also most likely made up *mostly* of people who can differentiate, especially at the older end. I’m 23 now, and when I was 16 or younger, I *might* have been silly enough to send him an e-mail several months ago, after he first started implying useless e-mails were a problem, but I almost certainly wouldn’t have.

      Also, his earlier blog posts are very open to suggestions. A few people may be coming across those posts and haven’t gotten to the more recent ones yet.

  6. I feel like YandereDev has just dug himself into a hole with this one… he doesn’t want the dumb emails or useless volunteers. He’s turned down a few good ideas as to defend himself from it….I love him and all but we all know that the emails are gonna keep coming…he puts too much faith in his audience. I hope he comes up with a good idea to combat this…

  7. I work in customer service and the volume of stupid emails we receive is outstanding. We have a FAQ page and people still ask the same stupid questions. So I completely understand how annoying it is. For those who say: “Hey, but it takes a minute to answer!”, well yeah, but just as an example, last time we got 800 mails on a day, which means 800 minutes or 13 hours. Imagine how the person’s sanity ends after that! And that’s not all! Because after you answer people often ask a related question and then continue asking for more stupid questions. So those 800 mails turn into 1,000 or 1,300 quickly. We do have somebody to aid us to answer (and often is done by copy&pasting the FAQS to reduce time) but in the case of YandereDev he is by himself so that time spent reading stupid mails is time he won’t have for working in the game.

    So people PLEASE stop sending him stupid e-mails. The FAQS are there for a reason. If you don’t know, read. I usually see the same stupid questions like “When are you going to update?” (when it’s done, obviously!) or “I have this awesome cool idea!” (good for you, but YandereDev has said that he doesn’t take suggestions” or “Hey, Kokona breakdances when I do this easter egg” (he knows that already!). Seriously, if you want to have Yandere Simulator done earlier and YandereDev’s sanity to be preserved, READ THE DAMN FAQS and stop asking stupid questions.

  8. Srsly, people are so impatient these days. Just go in yanderedev’s shoes and how could you react with these stupid e-mails sent by stupid people who don’t know what volunteering and being professional is! Want to help him updating more often? Then throw your keyboard away unless you are a professional game designer who is willing to help him.

    • But if you throw your keyboard away, how your supposed to play yandere sim? (or lovesick, since he’s changing the game’s name.)

  9. Change your email address and put it on a page which only volunteers and bug reporters can find.

    // I know this might be a stupid idea and it will probably never even reach YandereDev, but I really, really had to post it. Please don’t attack me. I am not wasting his time by posting this – he has stated several times that he does not have time to read our comments anymore and I have no intentions of sending him any e-mail.

    • not attacking you, but the truth is that if he did that there are only two things that could happen:
      A- People would eventually find the new email and the cycle re-start (trust me, crazy fans always do)
      B- New volunteers and bug reporters that actually DO their job properly would probably be discourage from helping as the email wont be easy to find

    • I think it said in the FAQ or in one of the other posts that he doesn’t count the fanworks and cosplay as “stupid emails” so I think it should be fine but I would check around first I could be wrong

    • No we still can send the fanart. I just sent them yesterday. And he appreciated it. BUT DONT EVER SEND STUPID EMAILS FULL WITH QUESTIONS, SUGGESTIONS!!!!!

  10. Yandere Dev said last cycle the only features left to implement would take more than 2 weeks. Don’t know why he bothered to claim there would be a mid month update… It seems that even if there were such a thing, there wouldn’t be anything in it.

  11. “DO NOT E-MAIL ME WITH YOUR BRILLIANT PLAN FOR HOW TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF E-MAILS THAT I RECEIVE”
    Okay. I’m Sorry.

  12. “Just because you own a microphone, this does not make you a voice actor.” Oh god, I’ve waiting so long to read this from someone who isn’t me! That’s just so goddamn true! I fucking hate all those “fandubbers” doing shit work thinking they are voice actors like if it was a fucking game.
    This comes from a rookie voice actor who prepared himself to do this proffesionally. It isn’t easy and these fucktards known as fandubbers think that it’s only reading a bunch of lines while the caracter is speaking.

  13. *Sigh* While part of me feels your pain, another part of me says: This is partially your own fault. You’ve put this email address out to the public, for a very popular topic. Stupid emails are an inevitably in this situation. So long as you refuse any of the solutions such as hiring a secretary, or creating an official forum….the amount of pity I can feel for you is rather limited.

  14. This will ultimately be an object lesson to other game developers. “What, you’re answering all those emails YOURSELF? Come on, don’t be a Yandere Dev!”

  15. Stupid people do not understand these messages because all you idiots claim to be intelligent.

    No need to say “Please Stop”, it doesn’T WORK.

    Control the idiots, don’t ask them to be smarter.

    At the top of the website put a false email and write is not a real emal, it’s fake.

    Dimwits will send you letters through him, and those who are smarter will not. This will eliminate 50% of the stupid letters.

  16. How about making two emails – one for receiving cosplay and fanart (beacuse Yandere Dev likes them) and the second one strictly for volunteers and work?

    I know that everyone is tried of suggestions,but please do not insult me (some people here can be quite vicious which is not helping the situation at all).

    • “DO NOT E-MAIL ME WITH YOUR BRILLIANT PLAN FOR HOW TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF E-MAILS THAT I RECEIVE”

      Because this was already talked about and is not viable.

      • Okay,but so you know,I never sent him any email about what I said in the previous comment. However,some people did. I wonder why? Their email is just one more in a sea of emails.

  17. Part of me thinks that some people send stupid emails YandereDev just so he makes the “please stop” animations and such.

  18. It sucks that email issues are still such a huge problem. I haven’t emailed at all, but I’ve been considering about helping volunteer with game testing (But then I realized Yandere Dev isn’t looking for those people) so I figured. And while people say its 11-20 year olds who do this, I’m only 17 but I have common sense not to be a hassle. If he’s not in search of people checking for bugs, then okay. That’s perfectly fine by me. I seriously hope for Yandere Dev’s mental health and people’s intelligence that this won’t keep happening.

  19. Wow, it blows my mind the amount of people who comment that only bother to say how disappointed they are that there isn’t an update. Great games are updated in a day. Especially now that most the stuff left to add will take more than a couple of weeks. C’mon everyone, have some patience.

  20. YANDERE DEV!!!! YANDERE DEV!!!

    WHY DONT’CHA U LISTEN TO ME AND ERASE MY COMMENT!!! BAD BAD SENPAI!!!! Y U NO LOVE MIDORI-KUN!!! MIDORI-KUN JUST WANNA HELP AND GIVE IDEAS AND GIVE GOOD COMMENT!!!

    YANDERE DEV!!! NO ANGRY GET PLS!!!! ONLY WANNAA HEELP!!!! MAILS BAD, ONLY COMMENTS!!!!! BUT BUT BUT U NEED TO ADD MORE WEAPONS IN YANDERE SIM!!!!! WILL BE GREAT AND LOTS OF FANS HAPPY!!!!

  21. I can be like these people (not to this extent, though, jfc these Midoris are assholes), as in I have a tendency to not shut the frick up sometimes, but this is just ridiculous.

    1) Why would people pester him when they can just check the FAQ??? There is literally THIS on it: “What is the biggest problem affecting development of the game? Too many people asking me questions that are answered in the FAQ, reporting bugs that are listed on the Known Bugs page, or suggesting really stupid features for the game.” It’s like the Midoris don’t want to spend ten seconds doing something productive.

    2) Unless it’s been SPECIFICALLY STATED that you can add an OC, you should never, EVER, suggest to do so! Dev even made a blog about that a month or so ago.

    3) Ditto on requests for game design. Dev has his own ideas, and this is HIS GAME. You should only be able to suggest ideas if you are helping to make it (which none of us are, except for volunteers).

    4) Dev stated in his video about re-naming the game (which, funnily enough, was the blog post JUST BEFORE THIS ONE) that he would see how “Lovesick” went as a title before suggesting other names he had come up with. It’s like these people don’t want to watch an 11 1/2 minute long video, jfc.

    5) Trying to help him get rid of stupid and useless emails by sending a stupid and useless email? That makes you an asshole! Congrats!

    I also don’t get why anyone would ever email him about trivial shit, like Easter Eggs that HE PUT IN THERE HIMSELF, basic shit that can easily be found in the FAQs,etc.

  22. From your recent demographic polls I’ve realized that you have a lot of younger fans.. I’m sorry they might not always listen to you. Anyway, despite the obvious annoyance you’re getting I’d like to like to remind you to push through the tough stuff and make your dream game a reality. A lot of us really support you and what you do!

  23. Please, people! Don’t think the e-mail you wanna send will be different than the others! and DON’T think you’re too smart to fall for the better-than-average effect! You know it’s a bias, dammit!
