11/16 3:00 AM Update: A high number of people have reported difficulty downloading the latest build of the game. I will try to solve the problem as soon as possible!
NOTE: The most recent build of the game is currently only available via the game’s official website / launcher. It is currently not available from Mediafire. Please have patience; hopefully it will be available from Mediafire soon.
The latest build of the game is finally ready! The star feature of this build is a new gameplay mode called “Mission Mode”! Here’s a video that explains everything about it:
The last three times I proposed a new feature for the game, I received a very strong negative response from the fanbase. I really hope that this new gameplay mode won’t be rejected, too. If you don’t like it, please remember that I only spent three days on it, and I don’t have to keep updating it…unless people enjoy it, and really want to see it expand. At the very least, I hope that it gives you something interesting to do while waiting for Osana!
Here’s a list of everything that is new in the latest build of the game:
- The weapons that were previously placed in front of the school have been re-located to more logical locations.
- Fixed bug that would cause students’ arms and legs to look strange after disabling “Distant Animations”.
- Fixed bug that would cause gloves to float in midair after being removed from Yandere-chan’s arms.
- Darkened the shadow that appears over Yandere-chan’s face when she loses sanity.
- Made numerous changes to the game’s code in order to improve the framerate.
- Added debug command for increasing the school’s population to 100.
- Added new architecture to the locker area of the school.
- Fixed bug that made ragdolls twitch indefinitely.
- Added an arch above the entrance of the school.
- Added debug command for killing all students.
- Added a new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.
- Added Mission Mode.
- It’s possible to change the background music in Mission Mode by pressing the Confirm button over the music icon in the pause screen.
Just in case you were curious to know what the main Culprits of the framerate problem were, the majority of the problem stemmed from these three issues:
- Many UI elements (windows, numbers, letters) were active / updating even while they were offscreen / invisible. I told them to deactivate when offscreen and only activate when onscreen.
- Setting a character’s rotation is an expensive operation. I told characters to stop updating their rotations if they are within 1 degree of the direction that they need to be facing.
- Some scripts were performing calculations when it was not necessary for them to be doing anything. I told them to deactivate when they are not needed.
After making those changes, the framerate shot up to almost 20 FPS higher than it was last week! I’m even seeing 60 FPS under some circumstances (but, to be honest, those are circumstances when very few characters are moving / very few polygons are being shown onscreen).
Vacation Time!
The last time I took a vacation was in September 1 of 2015. I would really like to take some time off! I’m going to spend the next two weeks relaxing instead of working. I’ll still spend time corresponding with various volunteers to make sure that Osana’s development continues moving along, but I will also spend time catching up on all the anime and video games I missed out on in 2015 and 2016.
I always aim to update the game on the 1st and 15th days of every month. Because I’ll be on vacation for the next two weeks, it’s unlikely that the game will receive a huge update on Dec 1st. Maybe a little update…but not a big one. With that said: if any critical bugs are discovered in the latest build of the game, I’ll fix them as soon as possible.
Fan art contest?
Last year, I held a fan art contest while I was on vacation. I’d like to do that again this year! If I decide to go through with it, you’ll hear from me on November 18th. What will the contest be about, you ask? It’ll be a surprise! Just be patient!
As always, thank you for following the development of Yandere Simulator!

Mission mode looks pretty good, I wouldn’t mind if it became part of the main game (like side missions for Info Chan to unlock bigger favours). I’m looking forward to playing and seeing Jay have a crack at it.
Sammeee I Cant WAIT
this mod is a good idee. In fact, I wonder if yandere-chan could be that kind of girl if we decide to play the game like a bad hero (like X-mens #RespectIsDead)
imagine this scenario, yan-chan can’t feel anything and meet Senpai. by meeting him, she meet Osana and decide to kill her but … after talking a little with her … she learn that Osana is not a bad person at all and discover that a lot of people are causing troubles in school (I know that yan-chan is supposed to be unable to feel any emotion, but I think she fust didn’t had the occasion to do it before).
Seeing the facts, she decide to kill people who make trouble in school (targets would be evil people and bullyers) … without knowing she is causing more problems than resolve them.
We know yan-chan is a yandere, but what kind of yanderer is she?
Well, A yandere is a yandere…… If someone wants to steal your Senpai, that person is gone. XD
No let’s see her as a killer for hire. She is dressed in a “disguise” so that she can kill people
*idea
Yas!
when will the link for mediafire will come…. i want to play it
i love yandere simulator … keep it up yandere dev
Me too 😢
Oh, no. Osana could take longer. How dare you. */SARCASM* Nah, take as much time as needed. Better to have a nicely added Osana, rather than a half-added one that doesn’t function right.
I like Mission Mode; personally wouldn’t care to see it as an ‘alternate reality’, I’d just see it as a gameplay mode and nothing more. No need to try to tie it into the main game. But it seems pretty fun.
Ikr I want a finished product not a half finished in the work project (even though you can already put her in)
Yes! I was actually hoping there will be some kind of a mission mode in the game!
Mine doesnt have the update button tho and i redownloaded the launcher already D:
same! Help Dev!!!! Somebody help please~
what? my laucher say game is up-to date but i dont udate this game… YANDERE DEV YANDERE DEV
YandereDev, I’m just about to get my Drawing Tablet on Christmas… please…. make the final deadline around January XD
Please make the Fan Art Contest Deadline around January XD
Hey, yandere dev.
here is why people had great difficulty with downloading the game.
BECAUSE YOU USED YOUR ANNOYING LAUNCHER!
it literally takes 30 (or so) minutes to download a new build! AND THIS TIME IT DIDNT EVEN DOWNLOAD THE NEW BUILD!
It’s not his fault, you have to email the guy who made the launcher.
Wait for the mediafire.
Like Saki would say: Don’t be rude on the internet 😡
No, she says “don’t post stupid lies on the internet!”
The launcher download time is fine, dude. Get a better computer.
i agree and my launcher worked before and now it dosnt work pls get the mediafire one as soon as possible because i really want to try the new build please and thank you
You know that it worked on the first day i used it the day it came out and it worked XD
im just being dumb again
I think the mission mode is awesome! Have fun on your vacation~
Quite frankly, the “story” of mission mode sounds kind of retarded. I guess it’s fine if its not part of the main game.
Instead of randomly generated missions, I would prefer if there was carefully designed missions, like challenges, that give you some kind of reward when you complete it (like new title screen wallpapers or background music, or even just a badge for completion would be fine). That would motivate me more than just doing basically the same things in different ways over and over. I think the game will be fine in terms of replay value with all the different elimination methods and all, what it needs is giving the player a reason to do so.
This is very very early alpha he is going to make lots of changes to it. And I agree after awhile it just felt like there was point of even killing. But if there is a hunter and story to every kill we must do then pall alfalfa yandere yandere dev
Retarded? Really? You might want to re-think your ways of insulting, dear.
But he is going to have tons of challenges. They’re just not implemented yet.
That wasn’t an insult. They were just giving their oponion, dear. (Me calling you dear can be seen as an insult, though.)
You clearly do not have a disabled child. Your tune will change really quick, “dear.”
I’m not going to fight with any of you. It would be disrespectful to Yandere Dev. I didn’t mean to come off as snarky, but there’s plenty of other words in the English dictionary to imply how stupid something is.
I’m just saying .. Her opinion is perfectly fine, but using “retarded” as an insult is really degrading. I used the word a lot as a teen because I was super ignorant, and now I’m regretting it because I now know what it’s like to have a child with special needs. It’s opened up a whole new world I never knew existed. It freaking hurts seeing it used now. It’s like the ‘that’s so gay’ phrase everyone used in the 00s, if anyone remembers it. Now barely anyone says it. I hope the word eventually disappears.
For a feature that’s not even for the main game? It’s hard to judge. I mean, this game is an indie game with just Yandere Dev and volunteers working on it, if you want something as fleshed out as carefully constructed missions, perhaps you should checkout hitman
Really your a moron this is based off hitman sorta hes put it in this vid if you watched it and hes working on things WE want because he had a poll and the one that won was the adding more students second was framework
You always can sugest a better plot, but don’t be rude on the internet
I was first but my comment must have got deleted or its on a different post 😦
Nvm
Oooh, the new Story should be like if yandere-chan was walking down the hall when someone Pulled her into an empty room and tried to kill her. So yandere-chan Got away from The person (I was thinking the hunter) And that is what made her become a killer. She set her mission To kill that person, But the only way to get to Them, Is to kill.
I got my frame rate to 80 XD I put low everything and disable animations and fog mode close. But yeah I did it. And also MISSION MODE
OMFG!!! I FREAKING PREDICTED THAT THERE WILL BE ANOTHER YANDERE COMING AFTER YOU!!!
PLEASE ADD IT IN THE MAIN GAME, WHEN IT BECOMES FREEROAM BASED
how i download this ? my laucher says is up to date but it is not the build
Wow! This mode is amazing! And it only took you 3 days? Crazy! XD Nice work as always Yanderedev! You deserve a break!
I’m on vacation in a way too. I have eight days off lol.
4 heure pour télécharger le jeu 4h
i will wait to the mediafire download. The laucher it’s to slow.
Anyone have the November 15th 2016 build I can’t seem to download it.
The launcher new works always errors out.
try disabling your antivirus and firewall
I don’t have either enabled
Yandere dev yandere dev~ could you toss in an Easter egg pertaining to the dating game Panzermadels? There is a Yandere tank girl in that game, the IS-2. She’s such a cutie, and it would make sense to include her in the pre builds
cant download!!! 😦 D:
The idea of being chased in mission mode reminds me of Assassin Creed’s Multiplayer mode (Especially the Escort game mode in Assassin Creed Brotherhood). Perhaps you could look to them for inspiration?
I really loved the mission mode! And about the character who hunt you be randomly choosen i already can imagine Kokona stalking me for revenge xD
In case anyone is wondering the mediafire link on the download section says the 4th but it’s really the 15th version 🙂
located here http://www.mediafire.com/download/m7o5uczvp612ip9/YandereSimulator.zip
Oh thanks *-*
We’ve been tricked!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH~!
The build weighs 811GB :v
It’s 811Mb. In that link it’s less, cause it’s zip file.
Wow We Been TROLLED Yan Dev WHY!!!! you’ve been trolled you’ve been trolled (the song goes on who ever knows this song XD
I can’t download the game via Launcher? Its says Game is up to date
Just download the mediafire link it’s the up to date version.
It’s a joke?
Wait……WHAT?
Mission mode. It’s an interesting mode, but it’s not my cup of tea. At least not as it is right now. If there were objectives other than just eliminating someone, I’d be more interested. Theft, “accidental” death, and kidnapping are a few objectives I can think of. The kidnapping part might be a challenge with the current version of kidnapping someone, since you need to be in a specific room to knock someone unconcious. Would be nice to see someone fall unconsious on the roof “for no reason” then to pick them up and “take them to the nurse’s office”. (That could raise suspicions though if the student doesn’t end up at the nurse’s office)
If you ask me, allowing players to choose how to interact with an NPC would be nice. It should be possible for someone to talk to another person if they are holding scissors in their hand. It should also be possible to choose to either inject sedatives in someone with syringe or just stab someone’s artery with the same syringe.
Valid points. I’m sure Yandere Dev will make it more like your ideas. 🙂
Yes, Keep this feature. I like it, It gives me a reason to play til osana is done.
When will u update the FAQ YandereDev?
my launcher is not working and the last time it works
I downloaded the launcher and it updated, I loaded up the game and mission mode wasnt there!!!!?? help?!
It took like 3 hours to download the game through the stupid launcher then wen i go into the game it says at the bottom when you arrive at school “this is not a demo this is a debug build form NOVEMBER 4TH” What The HELL!
I downloaded the launcher, took like, 5 hours, and it said it was a sandbox build from NOVEMBER 4TH now, I’m not mad, just upset! I’m not hating on yandere dev, I was just so upset. I’VE BEEN LIED TO
The Mission Mode is an awesome addition, YandereDev!
But a few critical bugs can wait, take a good rest, don’t overwork yourself!
everyone download it through mediafire link http://www.mediafire.com/download/m7o5uczvp612ip9/YandereSimulator.zip
It’s the November 15th version
Downloading now. Hopefully this really is it. I’ve really been needing to get my mind off of life. Thank you so much!
YEP! I can confirm that this IS the November 15th build. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I made a custom “students.json” for fun. It allows Osana Najimi to appear but not fully functional just a senpai follower.
download it at http://www.mediafire.com/file/v6wymulolbfu81w/Students.json
put it in YandereSimulator_Data\StreamingAssets\JSON
guys! the mediafire download is the november 15 build!
Downloading now. We’ll see. -fingers crossed- If I have to wait 4 more hours to download, I just might cry. 😥
You know, just the other day, I was thinking that something like this, where you take on certain missions in the school besides trying to get Sempai, would really work for this game. And now it turns out you were making just that sort of mode. Either I’m psychic or I’m good at guessing what sort of features a game should have. Hopefully the former.
Have fun on vacation. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
This contest I know I will participate and not use a base…..lol I can probably draw it..? Maybe??? Ok I’m not gonna win cuz my camera quality but I’d still like my drawing ):°•●•○]
I know that the Mission mode was a quick add so the story for it ain’t the best but I have a idea. Info-chan has some dirt on Yandere-chan and if Yandere-chan does not do these missions Info-chan will release the dirt on Yandere-chan to Senpai. And the reason as to why Yandere-chan does not just kill info-chan is that with the constant surveillance Info-chan has on the school info-chan would see Yandere-chan coming to kill her a mile away. I put this out here because I what to know what people think.
The game mode is interesting, however, it feels like the plotline and mechanics of an entirely different game. Are you sure that you want to include this in Yandere Simulator, when it takes place in an alternate reality? I think it would be better if mission mode made its way into the final game in a way which cooperated with the plotline instead of working against it. The idea of info-chan telling Yandere-chan what to do and Yandere-chan carrying out missions of varying complexity around the school to suit Info-chan’s needs is an interesting one. In the future, maybe mission mode could become an optional alternative for the panty shot mechanic for players who want to take advantage of info-chan’s power, but do not want to take pictures of panties. Info-chan could give Yan-chan the option to either provide her with panty shots as currency, or complete a mission for her.
But in the end, Yandere-simulator is YOUR game, Yandere Dev. Do what you will and we will enjoy it.
the men react to murder if you set their persona as evil/coward!

If you’re an American, have a happy and relaxing Thanksgiving. If not but there is some other holiday which aligns with this vacation, have a happy that. If not…just have a nice, relaxing vacation.
What if we had a yandere rival! It would definitely make the game more interesting because we have to attempt to kill a girl who wants to kill us too…
I love the idea of Mission Mode! But instead of Yan-chan being an assassin and not a yandere (which kinda contradicts the name and the whole point of the game) she could still be a yandere, but the reason why she’s killing non-rivals is because Info-chan bribed her saying “It’ll make the school a better place for Senpai.” Yan-chan obviously would want the school to be the best place for her beloved, so that works, right? It could take place after story mode to make more sense.
I know you don’t like suggestions, but I just personally think the idea of Yan-chan being an assassin and not a yandere contradicts the whole point of the game – killing for your Senpai.
