I’m back from Anime Expo! It took me a few days, but I’m finally finished going through all of the e-mails that piled up while I was at the expo. I’ve also fixed many of the most-commonly-reported bugs from the June 29th build. (I’m very sorry that I left you with such a buggy build while I was absent!)
I attended Anime Expo for all 4 days of the convention. I announced what I would be wearing the day before the expo, so that people could recognize me and say hi. It worked! I was approached by Yandere Sim fans at least once per hour. It was so much fun to meet so many Yandere Sim fans! I also saw about 20 different Yandere Simulator cosplayers! Here’s a gallery of them:
The highlight of the expo were the meetups on July 1st and July 4th. July 1st was a cosplay meetup, and July 4th was a “Meet the Developer” meetup. We took a lot of fun pictures during the July 1st meetup! The following photographs were provided by Zero Serenity:
A good-natured gentleman recorded a video during the July 1st meetup. As a result, I am able to present you with video footage of the rare and elusive YandereDev, outside of his hermit cave!
It was a wonderful experience to meet Yandere Simulator fans in person. Everyone was so nice and friendly! It felt surreal to have people asking to shake my hand, take selfies with me, or have my autograph. I want to make sure that I never disappoint them, let them down, or lose their respect! I feel more determined than ever before to make Yandere Simulator the best game it can possibly be!
And, on that note, here’s a list of bug-fixes and additions in the most recent build:
Bug Fixes
- Fixed bug that would cause students to stand in very bizarre locations when reporting a murder to a teacher, if that teacher was grading a paper at the time that the murder was reported.
- Fixed bug that would cause NPCs to run directly into teachers as if they didn’t realize that the teacher existed, if the teacher was grading a paper at the time.
- Fixed bug that would cause students to pretty much just completely break if they were interrupted in any way while performing their shoe-changing animation.
- Fixed bug that would allow the player to use the “Confirm” and “Send Photo” buttons during an info-chan text message, which was not meant to be the case.
- Fixed bug that would cause students’ shoe-changing animation to break if the player aimed a camera at them as they were changing their shoes.
- Students will no longer react to Yandere-chan aiming a camera at their face if they are busy reacting to a murder or a corpse.
- Fixed bug that would cause teachers to float above corpses and tilt sideways when standing nearby a corpse…I think. I hope.
- Fixed bug that would cause a teacher to nonchalantly, casually grade homework while being informed about murders and corpses.
- Attempted to fix bug that would cause teachers to fall through the floor after hearing about a corpse or a murder.
- Fixed bug that would cause students’ uniforms to turn white when the player arrived at school one hour late.
- Fixed bug that would cause characters’ textures to be incorrect during the “Befriend/Betray” cutscene.
- Reduced the chance of students clipping into each other / on top of each other while entering school.
- Fixed bug that would cause Sakyu Basu’s ring to become parented to her head after being dismembered.
- Fixed bug that would cause kidnapped characters to have white hair in Yandere-chan’s basement.
- Fixed bug that would cause the victim of a murder-suicide to remain alive.
- Fixed the incorrect texture on the bottles in the chemistry lab.
Additions and Replacements
- Added a new animation for Kokona when she is answering her Monday morning phone call. (It’s a motion-captured animation! The movements of a real human being were captured for this animation!)
- Replaced the “stretching exercises” animation with a much smoother version of the animation.
- Replaced the distracting radio music with a new, original track.
- Replaced the “Bad Time Mode” music track again.
- Added new props to the Photography Room.
What’s next?
- The game’s official website is 99% finished. I hope to roll it out within the next few days!
- If all goes well, then I’ll be able to release a “rival introduction video” and officially introduce the game’s 10 rival girls sometime this month! If not, then next month for sure!
- A lot of volunteers have been sending in some very cool assets lately, so I’ll probably implement the new assets before I begin working the next big elimination method (Matchmaking).
Thank you for following the development of Yandere Simulator!
Yes your face was here
Has anyone nocticed that it you press j in the Easter egg menu naming music starts to play
it’s a bug it’s supposed to put one of those easter eggs in the game ,called bad romance mode and it looks a pink and yandere dev has talked about replacing it. I think the reason why nothing shows up is it’s in development and all that happens is the music for it just plays even if it is still in development 😉
Thanks for telling me this
OMG!!!! YANDEREDEV FACE REVEAL!!! *mind breaks* mueiwbfiuewshdzihWsi;pbgfn7e8gwesbdxngewaugdszcbfnPW;OQHNE 9WSHLZV
I know right. My mind is blown
As Jay from the Kubz Scouts would say, “He’s THAT DUDE!” (dramatic gunshot sound) 😀
Sounds like you had a lot of fun there Yandere Dev, I could not go this year but I will be going to next year’s Anime Expo so I hope you will be there! I will be flying in from Canada! It was in Los Angeles right?
Yandere-dev looks like a super nice person!
*laughing*
I CAN’T WAIT!!! Hope that it’s out before my birthday. 😀
The wasted picture goddamn I laughed too damn hard
I fell out of my chair.
I had expected that there would be at least 2 midori’s at the meet, too bad there wasn’t one. oh well… I liked that one person brought a circular saw, awesome! ^^
I’m cosplaying Midori as soon as I finish putting together the uniform–I already have the wig (and, of course, the knife)
Ooh! Will you say, “Background decoration… background decoration…
YandereDev, YandereDev!”
Aww! Yandere Dev is a cutie!!
YandereDev! You cutie! how dare you hide your face from us!? That was unfair that we had to wait to see such a cutie X33333
*Himedere hmph* We would have to kneel down and lick his shoes to see his face earlier!
Meu deus! Finalmente vimos seu rosto! Eu nunca imaginei que você era assim! Eu estou super feliz! E você com medo de mostrar o rosto! Você é fofo!
br?
I’m curious, how does the motion-captured animation work? I think its really cool, you should use motion-capture in more animations if possible~ -v-
Most motion capture (or mocap for short) uses green dots to stick on every part of the face or body to let the computer record the dots’ movements, so that those data can be animated on the computer at a later time.
Wow, thats cool. Maybe he should use this for that torture scene (the animation for it is pretty lacking at the moment, lol)
Cool!
I hope you enjoyed Anime Expo (bad I couldn’t be here T_T) Anyway, game looks really really amazing and I can’t wait for new build :3 Just wanted to Thank you ^^
Wuahhhh.. I really wanna go so badly, but i cant. Im not old enough and all, I hope you enjoyed yourself though! Also, YandereDev’s face reveal…Way to epic to pass up. I will end up going someday, I promise >////< I shall see Yandere Sim people and everything. ^^//
Ugh, I really wanted to go 😦 Unfortunately I’ve been too busy to go out of state for a convention. You should come to Norfolk Anime Explosion some time!
Reblogged this on catshby.
you’re beautiful Alex
This guy. https://imgur.com/rZZPNcb
What about this guy?
You have an awesome face and you’re so humble. Hope you had a good birthday! I’m so glad you got a break from the game and thank you so much for everything.
I’m so glad I was able to meet you at Anime Expo (I was one of the girls who shook your hand while you were sitting next to the Muriel cosplayer but I’m not sure if that narrows it down in the slightest haha) and I was mentally kicking myself for not at least taking a selfie with you, but I definitely meant it when I said I really love your work and following the development. Keep up the amazing work!
You’re soooooo lucky!

DEVPAI IS AWESOME AND HANDSOME AS HELL!!! as always
Uhm Senpai?? You have lots of fans in Australia and I know it’s a long way to travel but consider going to this:
http://www.animefestival.com.au/
:3
He’ll have money (and hopefully time) when the game comes out. I hope he gains (positive) notoriety and can travel!
So much excitement for this month!
seeing the fans in person is what makes it all worth it
YandereDev looks a lot like Finch from Person Of Interest
Yanderedev seems like such a nice guy, and I’m really glad he enjoyed meeting and talking with his fans. I don’t know why he’s so unhappy with the way he looks. I didn’t think he was ugly at all.
If you scroll down, you shall see rare footage of the creature we call Devpai. Very strange creature it is!
I ship Yandev with Toby Fox
…are you serious?
Ship it
It’s really heartwarming to see how much fun seems Yanderedev to have on those photos.
O_O ” See’s Yandere Dev’s Face In Real ” . ” Renders Unconsious ” Wow Yandere Dev Ur Such A Cute Little Guy ! 😀
So that’s what YandereDev looks like. 🙂
YandereDev, YandereDev! Why are you so adorable?
