February 21st Bug-Fixing Build

I’m sure that most of you are familiar with the routine by now; when a big feature or a bunch of small features get added to the game, some new bugs are created. I catch most of them, but there are always a handful that slip by. That’s what this new update is for; to fix (most of) the problems that were identified in the previous build!

Looks so cool!! Feels like it would be a YouTube thumbnail for somebody’s Let’s Play of the hypothetical Yakuza Route…

Update Preview

I usually try to update the game around the 1st and 15th day of every month. Today is the 15th, but the next update isn’t ready yet. To assure you that I’m still working on the game, I’d like to share 5 screenshots of upcoming content. Here’s the first one:

Ever since I first implemented the corkboard, I’ve always wanted to allow the player to decorate the corkboard with red strings in order to roleplay as an obsessed serial killer. Yandere Simulator is supposed to “simulate” the experience of being a yandere girl, so I think it needs more features that exist purely to let the player step into the shoes of a psychotic lovelorn girl. This is one of the features that will be in the next build!

February 7th Bug-Fixing Build

I’m running out of different ways to phrase this, but:

The last build had some funky stuff in it, so I’ve created a new build that resolves some issues! To see a list of everything that was changed in the new build, please scroll down past this gorgeous artwork by ros.e_8!

February 6th Bug-Fixing Build

The primary purpose of this update is to fix a critical game-breaking bug in the previous build, but this update also has a handful of minor improvements, as well!

February 5th Bug-Fixing Build

You know the drill! There was a big problem in the previous build that I absolutely had to fix, but I wouldn’t want to release a build that only has one change in it, so I’ve put together a new build with numerous fixes and changes.

Bullies and Phone Addicts in Yandere Simulator

Today, the game gets several important additions: four new characters, bullying events, and a new reaction to murder! Here are all the details:

Here’s a point-by-point text breakdown of what these new features entail:

“Phone Addict” Persona

• A Phone Addict reacts to murder by taking an incriminating photo of you and texting it to the police, which can result in an instant game over.
• A Phone Addict reacts to corpses by taking a photo of the corpse and texting it to the police.
• When a Phone Addict is contacting the police, a countdown timer appears above their head. If the player kills the Phone Addict before the timer runs out, then the police will not be alerted.
• A Phone Addict’s daily routine involves walking through the hallways of the school, making them a threat to the player.
• A Phone Addict performs different walking / standing / running animations than other types of students.
• Midori’s Persona has been changed to “Phone Addict”.

New Characters

• The 4 new characters are Musume’s friends, who follow the same fashion trends as Musume.
• Musume’s friends accessorize much more than normal students; They each have unique phones, phone charms, bookbags, scrunchies on their wrists, cardigans around their waists, etc.
• When interacting with Yandere-chan, Musume’s friends will perform different animations depending on how popular Yandere-chan is.
• Musume’s friends spend Cleaning Time gossiping in the girls’ bathroom instead of performing their cleaning duties.
• Panty shots of Musume’s friends are worth more to Info-chan than other panty shots of other students.
• Musume’s friends deal more damage to your reputation than other students when gossiping about you.
• Musume’s friends arrive at school in a group, performing different animations than other students.

Bullying

• If a student’s reputation drops below -33, that student will be targeted for bullying. (If multiple students have a reputation below -33, the one with the lowest reputation is targeted.)
• A bullied student will use a different walk animation / idle animation than other students, and have a different routine from other students.
• If a student’s reputation drops below -100, the bullying will be so severe that they just won’t come to school anymore.
• Once a day, there will be an event where Musume’s friends harass a student who has been targeted for bullying.
• Musume’s friends will scribble graffiti on the desk of a student who has been targeted for bullying.

In addition to everything above, I have also made a whopping 40 different fixes/changes/additions to the game. Out of all the builds I’ve made, this one might have the greatest number of differences from the build that came before it!

Hey! Where’s the video?!

If it’s the 1st or 15th day of the month and it’s been more than a week since the last update, I’ll make a quick post with previews of upcoming content to assure you that I’m still working on the game! As of now, it’s February 1st, so here’s a few preview images:

Oh, my! Who are these young ladies?

What could they be doing around that table?

What’s going on over there? Nothing bad, I hope!

The next build is ready (unless I discover something that needs last-minute fixing). The script for the next video has already been written, and now all I have to do is record the voice over, record the gameplay footage, and put together the video. I suppose the absolute soonest that the video could be released would be Feb 1st, but it’s possible that it might take until Feb 2nd.

Sorry for the wait, and thank you for following the development of Yandere Simulator!
