Today is the three-year anniversary of Yandere Simulator! As of today, March 31st, the game has now been in development for three full years!
To celebrate, I’d like to share this illustration created by the wonderful Mulberry!
I love this image so much! It accurately conveys the way that it feels to work on Yandere Simulator! (On the positive days, at least!) If you’d like to see a larger version of this gorgeous artwork, click here!
Over the past three years, I’ve established a lot of traditions; on Halloween, I release a horror-themed minigame. On Christmas, I release a parody of a famous holiday song. On the final day of the year, I post statistics about the game and the blog. However, I don’t actually have a tradition for the game’s anniversary! It’s just another workday.
In the absence of a special tradition, I’ve decided to make a list of the coolest, most memorable yandere-related things that happened in the last year. Click “Continue Reading” to see everything that I enjoyed the most about 2016!
It might be a little self-congratulatory to include my own videos in this list, but I really enjoyed creating all of the following videos:
A bunch of other great things happened, as well:
- I enjoyed the development of the flame demon dating sim, Burning Love.
- I was really delighted when the very first Yandere Simulator merchandise was designed and sold.
- Meeting up with fans in person at Anime Expo was probably the highlight of the entire year!
- Seeing Yandere-chan become a character in Crush Crush was fantastic!
- Fan-works like Koumi-senpai’s “Tsubaki” were always delightful to see!
- And, of course, the Pokemon Contest and Nemesis Contest were both a total blast!
Wow – I haveb’t actually thought about it until now, but, looking back, I realize that 2016 was full of wonderful experiences! I know that a lot of people think 2016 was an awful year, but it may have actually been the best year of my life – and absolutely none of the above things wouldn’t have happened without you, the fans!
Thank you very much for coming with me on this three-year journey. We are almost certainly past the halfway point of the game’s development. I hope that you’ll stick with me until the end!
Now seems like a very appropriate time to say: Thank you for following the development of Yandere Simulator!

Wow… has it really been 3 years already ?
yeah the second Anniversary felt like a few months ago
Hi There,
Gratitude for putting up this prolific article! You truly make everything a cake walk. Genuinely good stuff, saving time and energy.
I have been asked to create a formula that uses balance values from the previous 3 payroll periods. The idea is to retrieve the basic pay period balance in each of the 3 previous periods. The sum of these will be used in a separate calculation. I have used ptd balances but never
spanning previous periods Any help greatly appreciated.
By the way do you have any YouTube videos, would love to watch it. I would like to connect you on LinkedIn, great to have experts like you in my connection (In case, if you don’t have any issues).
Please keep providing such valuable information.
Thank you,
Nani
Hey no problem Yandere Dev, your game is gonna be great.
“haveb’t” yandERE DEV YOU MADE A SPELLING ERROR!!
DEV YOU MESSED UP WE LOOK UP TO YOU!
Hey, he’s a human. You guys have made mistakes in your comments too. MeLMeL, you should have put a comma behind ‘DEV’. God, people like you must love to get attention. Even though we’re only talking about spelling, it’s good to grow up and learn about grammar too.
@Molly Moen: Holy shit are you actually a fucking autist or what? Are you that retarded and socially awkward than you cannot even think of the possibility that it was all a joke? In every fucking post by this yandereFAG, there is like 1 negative comment, and you still feel obliged to sperg out like a 12yo autist and start defending this overgrown manchild? You should get some friends in real life bro and start working on those social skills, unless you really are just a 12yo kid, which is very likely thanks to the demographics of this retarded fanbase, in which case you still have some time. But until then, please refrain from writing anything on the internet, you will just embarass yourself. Thanks, faggot.
@Issfe OMG ARE YOU A JACKASS? I THINK YOU ARE IT DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER IF IT WAS A JOKE @Molly Moen HAD A POINT AND YOU DON’T YOU’RE JUST SAYING THIS TO BE A FUCKING BITCH
@issfe yeah, everything about this reads edgy wannabe middle schooler. Hope life gets better after middle school
You are very welcome, Yandere Dev! Thank you for introducing a wonderful game to us all.
happy 3 full years guys!
You ship Ayando??? That’s an Ayando comic right there! That’s awesome! But… Budo is in love with someone from the past right?
No YanDev, thank YOU for powering through and sticking with this project for this long! ❤
Yan Dev, thank you for making this game. Because you made this game, I made the blog Posedere (which I’ve seen you liking some of my posts, thanks for that!). I’ve never felt happier in my life than when I see someone happy that I did their request using Pose Mode. I was suffering with depression and going through hard times, and thanks to this game and the blog, I finally feel that I have a reason to go on with life, and that is to create things for people and, in that way, help them. Also, I’ve never really been able to follow the development of a game this closely until now, which is great because video games have been a huge part of my life since I was really little, and I’ve always loved seeing the creative process behind something! Once again, thank you Yan Dev, for creating something so beautiful. I can’t wait to see how the game turns out!
HAPPY ANNIVESARY YANDERE SIMULATOR AND YANDEREDEV

Congrats! Yandere Dev!
*patiently waiting for the release of Kuudere Simiulator 3*
well for the three years od yan sim, I’ll give my impression about the game for each years
the first year. well, it looked like a funny game but like goat simulator and some other game I thaught the be like yandere simulator, I saw it like a little game just made for fun (how wrong was I)
the secound year, clubs have come, the school grew up, personalities and delinquents came and more over, I learn that the game is not made to be a “serious” game. I started to become a fan of the game during this perriod.
for this year … wow … just WOW … yan chan doesn’t have to kill her rival, lot of characters shown up, the lore is becoming more and more developped and so much things iin gameplay mechanics. really, that promise to be a really good game
that’s crazy to see how more and more intresting the game becomes. really, what will the 4th year repport be if the third one is alreaddy as good as this?
I’m 100% with you yan dev.
Happy 3rd anniversary, everyone!
Don’t worry, we’ll still be here until the game’s launch! I can’t wait to play the full game!
Are three of the martial artists twerking? [Probably spelled that wrong]

Good luck moving forward!
Well, I do love Yandere-chan, i absolutely Congratulate you, YandereDev, for 3rd Anniversary.
Normally, I’m not sure about Senpai.
I literally just made that picture my desktop background.
Happy anniversary! 😀
Same.
This is SOOO my new laptop background! Three years and I’m still so proud of you. Thank you for making the best game ever!

Wow, three years already? I must say it’s been a delight and I can’t wait for all the new wonderful things next!
Also I’m SOOO glad you saw the Ayando doujinshi “Tsubaki” It’s my FAVORITE art ever for the game! I so hope Budo has a crush on Ayano, even if it leads to nothing

Oooooh ! My birthday is at March 31st too ! Happy Bday to me and Yandere Simulator too ❤ Love ya Yandere Dev. ^-^
wow lol I went to mulberry and it has funny pics of yandere dev lol I’m dead!!
Thank you so much Very interesting and applicable. The one point I really like is the one about infographics. You produce one infographic and get plenty links from it but also traffic. I am yet to find some example of highly successful infographics, but I used this method a number of times for my blog http://www.u2fifa.com/– I hope you’ll continue with providing us with great posts like this. Thanks again Neil.
