I’ve spent the past two weeks focusing on three different tasks: making progress towards adding Osana to the game, attempting to improve the game’s framerate, and adding a new mode to the game. I am presently making a video about everything I accomplished over the past two weeks. This video is going to be pretty long; it might wind up being about 15 minutes in length. I’d love to have it ready within 27 hours of this blog post, but it might take longer than that. Hopefully, it won’t take very long!
For every day that the next build is delayed, I’ll try to share something cool with you guys. Here’s what I have for you today: It’s a batch of rival artwork that was created by an artist named Joakim Waller. He’s same artist who drew the very first promotional illustrations for Yandere Simulator!
Click this image to view a gallery of the rival illustrations he drew for me:
The last time I spoke with Joakim, I was asking for a few revisions to the artwork – stockings for Osana, a different color scheme for Amai, different hair color for Megami – but, sadly, one day I just stopped hearing responses from him. The rival illustrations were very, very important to me, and I didn’t feel comfortable using the artwork while it still needed those revisions, so I began speaking to other artists instead, and eventually settled on this talented gentleman.
If the next video still isn’t ready within 23 hours, I’ll reveal more “never before seen production artwork” again tomorrow.
Thank you for following the development of Yandere Simulator!

Awww what happened to Osana’s beautiful Zettai Ryouiki ?! :c
I look forward to the video ~ π
I think the white socks are cool. Osana may be cute, but she is tsundere. The socks would make her way cutier than the ideal. Andddd orange and pink aren’t matching very well π¦
The hair should be the main focus and not the socks
Put socks on her hair, problem solved.
I honestly almost adore the artwork here more than that in the rival introduction video. Not that I dislike what’s in the video, but this style seems to fit the game’s ‘girly anime’ (I use the term loosely) tone more and really get across the characters’ personalities.
maybe the problem is that this pictures here are too cute for a dark game like “Love Sick”.
Don’t forget it’s a game where you kill people and (even if I agree they are realy cool) I don’t think kawai pictures are appropriate to a yandere univers.
I disagree. Cute illustrations for the rivals actually work very well, especially since the main character is SUPPOSED to be a Yandere. The official artwork for them makes it look like a hentai game, not murder/stealth-based.
(Kjech is a great artist, no offense to him. If you check out his DA, his gallery is full of awesome pieces)
rpgmaker horror games: am i a joke to you?
the update is today?
or tomorrow
Tomorrow π
First like ππΌ
I loveeed that guy draws. They’re so cute, but not too cute π I wonder why senpai’s sister uses that very short skirt.
oh Amai’s socks… I prefered the green one π¦ Green fits very well with pink, now she is too pink (despite the fact that the kitchen is so pink).
I just don’t liked the waist. It is very thin that scared me a bit.
Just out of curiosity, why did you choose to change Megami’s hair color?
In my opinion, the light purple/lila/blue (who knows) isn’t ideal since the first thought I had that she would be like a angel, a very nice and calm girl. Cause blue is calm and write is peace etc.
Megami’s new hair colour is the pastel lilac. The old colour was the black.
Her name does mean “Ultimate Goddess”, so it makes sense that her hair reminds you of an angel.
I think it looks better black.
Well, I guess this way it’s more unique-looking.
Hair: It could be because of Yandere-chan’s hair/palette color, since the opossite of black is white.
Stockings/Gloves: White stockins aren’t uncommon, but don’t exactly look as distinctive as the other rivals’s do (Hanako is supposed to be normal/plain, hence having default socks), so I guess using black stocking AND black long gloves was a way for Megami to say “I’m not just different from you, I’m also better than you”.
I love Magami socks. Oka ruto ia using a star in the head. I love it!
I hope you change the accesorie of the drama club. The beard isn’t cool at all! Maybe they should change clothes and put black confortable clothes and the item could be a brooch of the very known comedy and drama masks.
I agree for the star in the head (or on the head, I don’t know how to say it).
She also looks a little more creepy on this picture … but Oka’s the best (with Osoro and Megamy)
It’s not a beard. It’s a ruffled cravat. Ib also seems to wear one, but it looks better on her because it’s tied around her shirt collar instead. I think the same should be done for Yan-chan to make it look cuter.
Omg. The whole time I was seing the ruffled cravat as a gray beard. (Do I have problems?) I’ve never seen someone using ruffled cravat, I had to search to find out what’s supposed to be this (English isn’t my native language…).
Well, I didn’t understand the other phrases you wrote, it’s confusing.
Aaw π¦
YanDev says, it will be ready in the next 27 hours but it might tske longer, so it will be ready next week.
don’t be silly, that won’t take so long π
First of all, he said 23 houres.
Then, big delays, like befriend update or rival, are realy rare and, in both cases, are caused by needed suply which don’t come or some spoiled info, I don’t think we are in one of these cases.
so maybe we’ll have the update in 3 day’s in the worst case, but not longer π
Yay! Dev-pai isn’t dead!! And he brings an announcement of an update!!! Keep up the good work Dev-pai!!!
Like every 1st and 15th of the month, in other word like usualy.
we didn’t wait so much you know. π
I’m curious as to why the original artist decided to lose contact with you, Devpai. But, with or without jowa, there will still be a Yandere Simulator. In all honesty I like the newer drawings better, for they are more properly proportioned for Highschool girls(also, maybe there should be drawings of the girls in the other uniforms, just for good measure)
Indeed. The artist might of felt uncomfortable with the situation, or they could of been unhappy with how their art was going to be used. Nonetheless, the artist is no longer in contact, and now no recognition will be given other than this very post.
Maybe he didn’t ‘decided’ to lose contact. People have busy lifes, things like this happens.
Aww what!?
i guess i got naked for no reasons ;-;
WHAT Γ_Γ΄ ?!?
Troll.
I’m waiting the next build and nothing happens…. It’s supposed to be today right?
If you read everything, he states it may be ready in the next 27 hours…
Oh… That’s right… Sorry
I like how big is Oka’s picture compared with other pictures. Maybe is this the power of occultism … π
I don’t like Megami (I hate Mary Sues), but I think that her illustration looks the coolest!
Mainly the expression on her face.
How is she a Mary-Sue?
When YandereDev Described the student council president, he used the words “Mary Sue”
She literally has no flaws, look at the character page.
She’s an “untouchable goddess ”
With no weaknesses
She’s the heir to Saiko Corp (so probably the richest girl in school)
She’s the most beautiful girl in school
The most popular girl in school
She’s student council president
She’s a certified genius and flawless grades
She’s combat ready
She has been trained with all the qualities of a perfect leader
She’s a Mary sue.
I’m so curious to see what dirt info Chan has on her…
I hate Mary Sue’s too
I’m just hoping there’s a really good side story or some really good secret info Chan will uncover about her
I could get behind her being pretty much perfect if she’s secretly a Saiko robot or something
It’s not a far stretch, the science club will supposedly have a student that is rumoured to be a robot.
I’m curious to see where they go with it
I prefer the Joakin art. Too bad he isn’t responding anymore.
Between this and the used art, I think I like the used art a smidgeon more. But mostly because the used art makes them look more age-appropriate. I mean, Osana and such ARE supposed to be 3rd years – meaning 17/18 – and in this drawing, Osana looks more… 14/15, more appropriate of Hanako’s age. Nonetheless those are pretty cool drawings.
I am trying to do some YanSim fanart myself, but I want to use a different type of uniform – either leaned towards what YanDev showed in May or other.
As always, take your time with the update. Better late and good quality than some hurried mess that requires more work to fix.
I prefered the old osoro shidesu, with her muscular, and strogest look, but for the others, Joakin did a great job!
What a shame about Joakim, i like these versions of rivals 10000x more than the ones you used in rival introduction video π¦
I want to the Midori’s task xD
wait what? didn’t you say that you wont upload any more builds until you’ve finished implement Osana into the game?
He’s not uploading any builds. He’s uploading a video. This is what he wrote in this blog post.
“I am presently making a video about everything I accomplished over the past two weeks.”
if u read the blog post it says For every day that the next build is delayed, Iβll try to share something cool with you guys. Hereβs what I have for you today: Itβs a batch of rival artwork that was created by an artist named Joakim Waller. Heβs same artist who drew the very first promotional illustrations for Yandere Simulator!
but he did upload a build… this is kinda weird. but, ok, then. :v
he doesn’t say he will make a new build, he says he will show the progress he has made during 2 weeks … or mayby there will be a new build but Osana won’t be there. (the last update with Kokona)
In the video, he was say THAT when Osana will add in game , he stopped update during at least on month ” but he want improve game before, and maybe add “pose mode” for that we can we entertain us during the wait (sorry for my English, I’m French).
Call the teacher rival Miss Jackson (Who gets the reference?)
She … knew ? she … fucked up?
miss jackson miss jackson miss jackson are you nasty
Guys, the build isn’t coming. A new video is.

Thanx semp … but you don’t have to repeat what yandev just said above -_-
Can someone post the pics somewhere else and give links to me? I can’t view Imgur images
there is no links sorry. there are 2 PNG on my desk with the 10 pics β¦ but I canβt add them here. is there I can post them and where you can find them?
Thank you so much for caring but I already found it in Instagram. I appreciate it though π
how … you’re welcome then π

sorry for this comment … I whrote in the bad place
Aw, so sad Joakim stopped answering you. Well, maybe something happened. I’m pretty happy for the ilustrations provided by kjech, though! I like his style.
Keep it up, man. Good luck with everything!
Oka looks like she’s on drugs.
not more than usual. but Oka’s the best
‘Than usual.’
Mmhm.
I know an Oka fan.
…and I’m sending this to her.
I’m an Oka fan and I approve :p
And I’m that Oka fan.
…….You seriously took a screenshot of this shit and send it to me on the YanSim wikia, IHNC?
BTW, I agree that Oka’s face looks high as fuck.
Reblogged this on Site Title.
Love these versions
I also love your version of Midori π
she looks a little like megami doen’t she?
Yeah, it’s kinda weird tbh
Am I the only one that noticed that Kizana’s hair is slightly longer than normal in Joakim’s illustration?
no, I did. For me she looks more similare to kokona in the sims serie of LaurenzSide.
look at 3:15 of this video. these girls are the same π
That moment when you see everyone saying, “blah blah, is my waifu, blah blah, is my favourite.”
And then you’re just like:
“My favourite is Osana.”
well … osana looks great. she has a tsundere caracter, her befriend quest looks intresting. I see why you like her .
for my, Oka is the best. spooky but friendly.
Haha~ Oka is my third fav.
Cause Senpai’s sister (another one whom I have never seen mentioned as someone’s favourite/waifu) is my second ^w^
The chaacters look so cool! Take as much time as you need to finish your work
I meant *characters*
is it just me or does anyone want the blood in the game be able to splash on walls?
Realistic and a little more challenging
You’ll need more than a mop
New animations too probably
I like the way you think though
I love those artworks, especially Osana one. A shame Yanderedev lost contact with this artist.
Lmfao, more dragging and copouts.
Oh no…This style is too lolitic.And every character’s face looks like the same.Please don’t go loli style.The current is better because of the anotomy.And looks more like highschool girls.Say no to elementary school girls!
oka ruto a riaal
People are all saying that they like Oka the best and I’m here like.. I don’t really care for her.
you could put socks of osana in Hanako, and leave the pink socks with osana,
for Hanako not have to normal stockings
Aren’t these the original silhouettes that Yandere Dev would constantly show? If so, it’s so cool that we finally get to see them!
Yes they are!
In my honest opinion, I think these jowa characters are cute, but too cute or YandereSim, and they all are styled like middle-school characters, the newer ones are more like teens and adults. I don’t mean to be rude, but honestly I think Joakim’s art doesn’t fit with the theme of the game. Just my opinion. Kjech’s doesn’t really look like hentai, other than the substitute teacher and nurse of course.
Whose do you like better? JoWa’s or Kjech’s?
Wat im confused is this update already out because it says it came out on the 14 of October XD and has this already been out????
Yanderedev Yanderedev…
Because you changed the hair of kisana if it was more beautiful as it was and the one that is now I do not say that it is ugly but I like more that it has the image that you show

Because you chose the purple color for Kisana’s hair and the White for Megami and not the black one and because you changed your mind about Amai’s pink calsetines
