May Preview #11

The next build still isn’t ready yet. I’m sorry! To make up for it, I’ll give you a small preview of an upcoming feature. But, in order for you to understand this feature, I’ll have to describe an aspect of an indie game that came out in 2013…

Have you ever heard of a game called Long Live the Queen? It’s a game about raising a young princess into the type of queen you want her to be. You can raise her to be gentle, raise her to be tyrannical, or even make her become a magical girl! Nope, I’m not kidding. I was pretty obsessed with this game for a few weeks in 2013!

I found it to be very challenging, because there were numerous ways the protagonist could get killed over the course of the game. Each death was accompanied by a cute little graphic depicting your poor dead princess. Those illustrations were so adorable that I couldn’t resist putting something similar into Yandere Sim!

Yandere Simulator is going to have “Challenges”, which are sort of like Xbox Achievements or PlayStation Trophies. Each challenge won’t come with a description, but will instead be represented by a silhouette. Here’s an example:

The “reward” for completing a challenge is the ability to view the Challenge icon in full color:

Yandere Simulator takes place over a period of 10 weeks; a new rival girl appears every week. Some Challenges will only be available during a specific week of gameplay. You can find out which Challenges are currently available at the Calendar screen that appears after the protagonist goes to sleep / before she wakes up:

None of these Challenges are actually active or being tracked by the game right now, but the Challenge screen gives you a peek at what’s to come in the future.

Yandere Simulator’s Challenge icons are illustrated by a talented artist who goes by the name of Bakki. I’m super thrilled with the work that Bakki has done on the Challenge icons! Unfortunately, it’s far too soon to show you all of the wonderful artwork he has made for Yandere Sim; your reward for completing Challenges is to see Bakki’s illustrations, so I definitely shouldn’t “spoil” them with a blog post.

However, I am willing to show you the “silhouette” versions of some Challenge icons that have not yet been added to the game. You can click the image below to be taken to a gallery of Challenge icons that will be added to the game soon. Can you figure out how each Challenge will be completed, based on silhouette alone?

How many Challenges will there be in the final game? I’m not sure, but I plan to implement as many as possible to give the game tons of replay value!

  1. Oh my god I need to play “Long live the queen” so badly. It’s even made by a publisher I admire, Hanako games. I have one of their old games, “Cute Knight” its fun but the graphics are not the best. I am so impressed how far that comany has gone it brings tears to my eyes lol XD

  2. 1st: Burning
    2nd: Drop a heavy object from above
    3rd: Kidnapping and slave control?
    4th: Befriending the rival?
    5th: Backstabbing the rival?
    6th: Drowning the rival in the pool
    7th: Demon Ritual
    8th: ??
    9th: Panty Goddess? Telekinesis? Possessed by Succubus Demon?
    I’m so hyped! Everyday, the preview is getting better and better! Just don’t rush things because we don’t want a buggy build. Take your time. Superbuild hype!

  3. if only i know how to do things like all of you do😔.Oh well i’m just a thirteen years old girl anyway there’s nothing i can do to help i will just support you yanderedev-sama~.BY THE WAY:My friends really like this game we enjoy it.don’t worry,my friends are older than me!tehe~😄😇

  4. Img 6… I think there’s a spider in the box near to Yandere-chan. I think 8 represents kill with weapon

    • As of right now that’s his current plan. While the build is delayed he’s giving a sneak peek into stuff he’s currently working on and stuff he has planned for the future. This delay has probably done him more good than anything since it has allowed him loads of time to implement new disposal and elimination methods as well as make a breakthrough in his programming, opening new doorways of possibilities for Yandere Simulator.

    • I don’t want to be rude, but an update every day is realy impossible because of the time you need to code, test, recode, retest, …
      Besides the fact yan-dev need the work of his volunteers for animations, and it takes a lot of time. believe me !

  5. Order in slideshow
    First one, Fire
    Second one, dismembering and putting parts in case
    Third one, mind slave
    Forth one, befriend student aka saki miyu and her favors
    Fifth one,murder friend? Idk
    Sixth one,drowning achivement???
    Seventh one, become worthy of the occult club
    Eight one,use every weapon
    Nineth one, use all panties.
    Your welcome, and IDK if im correct. xD

    • The second one is “dropping a heavy object on a girl”
      7 I think is “kill all witnesses”
      10 is I think “summon a demon” and the panties might mean it is succubus -chan

  6. My opinion
    1.Setting rival on fire.
    2.Heavy item falling onto rival.
    3.Mind slave.
    4.Befriend a student.
    5.Betray a friend.
    6.Drown the rival.
    7.Dismember all girls heads.
    8.Manage to use every weapon in the game.
    9.Use every pantsu.

    remember these are just my opinions, and i do know that there are more silhouettes in the game 😀

  7. I’m really sad that the Easter eggs won’t make it into the final game. I understand why, but I wish there was some way to include them somehow, in another game mode…

  8. Honestly, seeing a cute picture is not enough of a reward for me… I think an additional reward for completing challenges should be that you unlock an Easter egg with each challenge. The Easter egg would only be playable in another game mode, of course – ie Maybe in yan-chan’s dreams.

  9. The achievement pictures are cute, but aren’t they a bit just to little as a reward for completing challanges? How about some coins to buy wardrobe items and collectables for yandere-chan and senpai? This way people will be more motivated to do the challanges.

  10. Everyone is saying six is drowining, that is obvious but the picture suggest Yandere is doing something else. In my perpective, she’s putting “something” in the pool ;D crabs, toasters, snakes? SNAKES? SNAAAAAAAKES? (if you get that reference i love you) What do you think? Im just REALLY intriguied what you guys think Yandere is holding close to the pool.

  11. 7-9 creeped me off a little, but I know it’s going to be such a cool game cause I can’t wait to put a curse on someone or whatever #7 wabted me to do 😂 good job with the game, this super build is going to be so awesome!

  12. 1. Burn your rival.
    2. Drop a heavy thing on your rival.
    3. Suicide (kidnapping or bullying?)
    4. Befriend your rival.
    5. Betray your rival.
    6. Throw your rival with a heavy thing into the pool so she can’t swim.
    7. Dismember the heads of all girls in the school.
    8. Use all weapons.
    9. I thought about another demon? A panty demon or something like that. To summon this demon you might dismember some girls and put their torsos into the circle in the Occult Club (because of the panties).
    I don’t know ^^

  13. Take your time, we’ll stalk someone to spend the time we have before update. So everything is fine 🙂

  14. 1st: Burning
    2nd: Drop a heavy object from above
    3rd: Kidnapping and slave control
    4th: Befriending the rival
    5th: Backstabbing the rival
    6th: Drowning the rival in the pool or fountain
    7th: SNAP MODE
    8th: Kill using all existing weapons in the game.
    9th: Demon Ritual of Succube

  15. Hmm, so maybe we’ll only be able to unlock the Succubus’ power if we use all panties available for us? That’d be awesome! I’m really hyped for the weapons one. Maybe some challenges should have extra rewards matching the difficulty level of it?? Idk

  16. 1- death by fire
    2- death by heavy drop from the rooftop
    3- mid slave rival
    4- befriend (expecting that your rival will lose her crush for senpai after a little friendly discution with Ayano where we’ll learn more about our rival and maybe … learn more about our protagonist)
    5- betray
    6- chained drow
    7- kill everybody in school (if you wanna have a bad time)
    8- use all weapons
    9- use all penties

  17. 1- Fire
    2- Crushing by object
    3- Mindslave
    4- Befriend
    5- Betray
    6- Drowning (You can see the waves of the pool. Yan-Chan can throw that person off of their chair and into the pool)
    7- Dismemberment or Demonic Ritual?
    8- Used every weapon
    9- Used every panty

    • EDIT FOR 7: Like the person above said, 7 could be killing everyone at school. I think it’s for killing everyone in one day, since it will trigger something in the final game.

      • there are few chances that you’re right for the 7th with all the demons, dismembering the occult club summons only the taloned demon, so I’m quite septic (unlique if the archivement is only sumoning this demon) . however, the idee in killing everybody in one day could work with the snap mode
        in my case, I think we could unlock it killing 2 student per day in average (yan-dev planed the school with 100 students. With 10 weeks in a year, we have to kill 10 students per week and with 5 days a week, we have to kill 2 students per day. what a coincidences). This possibility is plosible only if we hide each corpse or else the school will close (that means we won’t see Senpai anymore).
        Probably one of the hardest chalenges with the saddest end, but I’m curious to see if it will be possible in the final game.

  18. First: Burning your Rival…I think.
    Second: Crushing your Rival…maybe.
    Third:Turning your Rival into a mindslave… probably.
    Fourth: Befriending your Rival… I hope.
    Fifth: Betraying your Rival… perhaps.
    Sixth: Drowning your Rival in the school pool… possible.
    Seventh: Eliminating all Rivals… surely.
    Eighth: Using all Weapons… likely.
    Ninth: Lust Demon???

  19. Is the cutscene finish now?
    So June 1st the build will be payable?

  20. now I’m realy wondering, If the game is inspired by a game where you can choose what type of person you are (like undertale), that realy mean Ayano can be a good person?

    Before you say it, I know that Ayano have to stop her rivals before they confess her love to Senpai and so she’ll never be a realy good person. But we have to make a difference between a “good” and a bad war.
    What I want to say is that we will maybe have the possibility to earn about or rivals, see howmuch they have already suffered (Kokona and her father) and find an elimination method which won’t be harmful for anybody.

    Now, why am I so sure that Ayano can be a good person?

    First point, yandev have already planned two methods (befriend and cupid) which will neither kill or victim, nor make her leave the school. that mean we could make a run inwhich everybody live and stay at school.

    Second point, if you have been litsening the tapes at school and in the basement, you should know that Ayano’s mother was a yandere too (see worst). We also know she has forced a journalist to leave Japan without his daughter (I think it’s Info-chan). I think she want us to follow her purpose like her mother(Ayano’s grand mother) did.
    I wonder if in the final game, we will be able to accuse our mother and then allow the journalist to come back and meet his daughter again.

    last but not least, if you gao on your computer and look how you can bully someone, you’ll see you can post accusations like “trash-talking”, “stalking” and “taking photographs of her clacemates’ underware”.
    I wonder if posting that kind of accusation will force the victim to stop what he was doing and leave other students alone.
    In the same case, when you want to post a message in a locker, you can choose banal subject like : anime, manga, Intenet, videogames and feeling (certenly usefull for cupid method). However, you can also choose more serious subjects like: bullying, low grades, pregnancy, drugg addiction and domestic abuse.
    Maybe in the futur we will be able to speak about it with a student if you are friend with it.

    Anyway, this game become more and more intresting and even if the update is “realy” late, I’m sure that yanderedev hasn’t finished to surprise us. good luck yanderedev.

  21. #8
    I am the love of my Senpai
    Sanity is my body and weapon is my blood
    I have killed over a hundred students
    Unknown to Senpai, Nor known to Osana
    Have withstood teachers to gain his heart
    Yet, those hands will never have him
    So as I pray, unlimited yandere works.

  22. Maybe… The last challenge (the one with the panties) is completed if you kill a certain number of female students, steal their panties and start a ritual (specifically, the Lust Demon one)…
