Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Just like last year, and the year before that, it’s time for another…

 Yandere Sim Spooktacular!

Last year, I celebrated Halloween by releasing a yandere-themed tribute to Castlevania. This year, I paid tribute to a different game!

You might have more fun if you experience it for yourself instead of watching it on YouTube, so here are the download links:

Remember to read the “README.txt” file!

If there’s any reason you’d rather watch it than play it yourself, here’s the video!

It’s been over a year, but I still have very fond memories of Undertale, and I’ve always wanted to pay tribute to it somehow. Ever since I beat the game, I’ve yearned to create my own Undertale-style boss battle. I really wanted to do something extra-special for Halloween, so I chose to take this opportunity to make an Undertale-style minigame featuring Oka!

In the beginning, I had much bigger plans in mind – I wanted to have Check / Item / Mercy options, just like in Undertale. I wanted to have a “get dunked on” moment when trying to spare Oka halfway through the battle. I wanted the final attack to be much more elaborate and difficult to survive. However, I ran out of time. I didn’t want this Halloween minigame to take up too much of my time, so I imposed a time limit on myself; I gave myself only 7 days to create this minigame. (Even then, I split my time 50% between Osana and the minigame; progress was still being made on Osana the entire time.) Now that this minigame is finished, I’ll go back to focusing on Osana 100%.

Who helped you put this together?

• Oka’s lines were provided by Mom0ki!
• The Oka sprites were created by Hana Piana!
• The demon arm sprites were created by SRealms!
• The tense music in the beginning was composed by Only Wednesday Music!
• The super-awesome artwork at the end of the video was illustrated by Shyua!
• The fonts that I used – Determination and Monster Friend – were created by JapanYoshi!
• The battle music – pre-transformation and post-transformation – was composed by Irish Trish!

Will “Yanderetale” become a full game?

It has as much chance of becoming a full game as Yanvania does…but it would have to wait until after Yandere Simulator is finished.

When is the next Yandere Simulator update?

I’ll be releasing a new build within the next few days. I can’t promise exactly when it will be available, but I feel almost certain that it’ll be ready in less than a week.

EDIT 1:

There were some bugs in the Yanderetale minigame. I’ve fixed the bugs and uploaded a new build!

EDIT 2:

The official Yandere Simulator website now has a Wallpapers page! Please check it out!

EDIT 3:

I’ve been seeing a lot of memorable Halloween artwork today! Here are some examples:

MulberryArt drew Osana as a witch! I love the design of her outfit!

Angi drew Sakyu Basu and Ikyu Basu trick-or-treating! Oka’s reaction is quite adorable!

Noaj drew a truly beautiful illustration that is romantic and morbid at the same time!

Hyanna-Natsu drew this absolutely gorgeous art of Yandere-chan in a spooky graveyard!
