July 18th Bug-Fixing Build

To my relief, upgrading to Unity 2017 only caused one or two minor issues! This new build fixes a small handful of bugs that stemmed from the Unity 2017 upgrade. This build also contains a few “quality of life” improvements – minor things that will make your gameplay experience a bit more convenient, based on feedback from players.

To read a list of everything that is new/fixed/different in the latest build, scroll down beneath this lovely photograph that somebody shared with me!

It warms my heart to know that somebody was thinking of Yandere Simulator during a trip to the beach, and felt like drawing the game’s title into the sand! I can’t explain why, but it just puts a biiiiig smile on my face, and makes me feel all fuzzy inside!

Quality-Of-Life Improvements

  • In order to prevent the player from accidentally resetting the day when they didn’t mean to, the “Reset Day” debug command now requires the player to hold down the “~” key for 1 second, instead of tapping it.
  • If you press the “L” key at the Settings menu, all settings will drop to the lowest level. This will improve the framerate. (If you press “L” and then turn on anti-aliasing, it actually looks pretty okay!)
  • When the player is spotted in Mission Mode, a text box will now inform the player of exactly which student spotted them.
  • The Settings menu now allows the player to change the sensitivity of the camera.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed bug that would allow Yandere-chan to freely walk around after getting a game over, if she was stripping gloves off of her arms when she was apprehended / spotted / pepper-sprayed.
  • Fixed bug that would cause the Art Club Leader to do his “holding paintbrush” pose when the player was speaking to him, even when he wasn’t holding a paintbrush.
  • Fixed bug that would sometimes cause Yandere-chan to remain upstairs when the player was trying to make her move downstairs to the basement.
  • Fixed bug that caused camera speed to be dependent on the game’s framerate, instead of being constant no matter what the framerate was.
  • Fixed bug that would cause Yandere-chan to freeze permanently when failing the pickpocket minigame under very specific conditions.
  • Fixed Yanvania bug that would cause the game to freeze as soon as Yanmont-chan reached Dracula-chan’s throne room.
  • Fixed bug that was preventing students from teleporting to their seats when the player attended class.
  • Fixed bug that would cause the delinquents’ radio to play music in the presence of a dead delinquent.
  • Added one new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.

What’s next?

I’ve been working on a lot more stuff than what’s listed above; the other stuff that I’ve been working on simply isn’t ready to be added to the game yet. Hopefully, you’ll see it soon!

Recently, I acquired the assets necessary to add a new club to the game; I’m very excited about them! Adding them will be my next priority. Implementing this club will require me to change the layout of the school, so the next time you see Akademi High, you’ll notice that some buildings have moved around! Hopefully it’ll give the school a “new and improved” feeling! I hope you look forward to it!

    • I had that problem so often, I’d go to unequip my weapon and blend in after a BUNCH of progress, then accidentally reset. I wanted to email yandere dev but I know he doesn’t like requests because he has everything planned. It did ruin a bunch of my really good runs though and I’m glad it’s been fixed.

  1. Yanderedev one question. When will all the house of Ayano be functional? I mean that we can walk in all the maps of the house

  2. Do you have any long term plans for when after Yansim is finished? Like would you work on a sequel or start work on Lunar Scythe (Which if the skullheart posts are anything to go off of I’d be excited for it) or would you just take a long hiatus and not work on anything for a couple years. Also do you plan on keeping your fans updated on future projects like how you do currently? Just some random questions.

    • The plan is:

      1) Release Yandere Simulator
      2) Release updates and patches to fix issues / balance difficulty / improve the game based on user feedback
      3) If there is a lot of demand, release DLC
      4) Go on a hiatus to catch up on all the anime/video games I’ve missed out on
      5A) If there is demand for it, release a prequel/sequel/side-story
      5B) If there is no demand for a prequel/sequel/side-story, then I’d just work on my next game.

  3. So I just finished downloading the update and was excited to start playing, but a few minutes into playing the game crashed when I tried to take a panty shot directly after a missed one, I restarted it and the same exact thing happened a few minutes later. I also realized running the game heated up the computer I was using to a serious level despite a fan running on high to cool it. I cannot play the game with the new update, it just continues to crash. Will there be any update to try to fix this? (And yes, I hit L in the settings menu. This is the result with that function.)

  4. A few questions:

    (1) So, will all of the rivals have sexual relationships with Senpai? Because some people tell me they will, but other people say otherwise, & I am confused.

    (2) Since there is so many classrooms, will all of them eventually be filled and used? I don’t think it would make the game a challenge to have a bunch of unused rooms where you can just freely kill people.

    (3) Will you be changing up the schedules of the characters without clubs? Maybe the main 6 females would hang out in different places or take walks? I really think it would, not only make the game more challenging, but make it more lively.
    I love watching the development of Yandere Simulator and I think it’s really cool that you respond to questions that get asked on your Development Blog! It’s ok if you can’t answer mine. Anyway, keep up the good work!

    • 1) That’s not my plan.

      2) All *classrooms* will be filled and used. However, there are many *rooms* which currently see zero usage whatsoever. I think I’ll probably remove some of the game’s currently-existing rooms, if I can’t think of any reason for students to use those rooms.

      3) Eventually. Please wait and see what I have planned.

  5. Hey, if someone loves your work then why not show it. You deserve recognition for all the hard work you do. This is just an example on how fans like us care about you. Keep up the good work.

  6. I have more question
    1.Can you finish Osana in next year ?
    2.Can you add something INTERSETING of vending machine ?
    3.Why Ayano wake up in the School Uniform .
    4.Can you make Ayano’s House ?
    5.Who is Yakuza?

    • 1) You’ll either see Osana in the game at the end of this year or the beginning of the next.

      2) When Osana is implemented, the vending machines will have a use.

      3) When you first see Ayano, she has already taken a shower and gotten dressed.

      4) There is no reason to do so.

      5) I’ve already answered this.

  7. Yandere Dev, the thing that really bothers me with the game is how if you commit murder and either the student council, teacher(s), heroic students, delinquents or a group of 4 average students see you they either apprehend, pepper spray, knock you out or fight you but why do they stand back when a mind slave attacks?! currently only the bullies help by taking a photo and running away, I really don’t understand this… this just makes killing the any rival easy, maybe if the mind slave is apprehended before suicide they can undergo severe therapy and tell about how you kidnapped them etc and the pair of you get arrested ending in a game over, sorry if you took this as an insult but its just it makes the game super easy and unchallenging. Thanks for taking the time to read Yan-dev (if you have), keep up the good work :).

    • The idea is that they don’t try to stop a mind-broken slave because a mind-broken slave’s behavior is much more disturbing and horrifying than Yandere-chan’s behavior; it’s so shocking that it petrifies the person who witnesses a slave commit murder.

      • oh so it turns all students around them into temporary cowards until it finishes, if that’s the case, shouldn’t an unstable and no sanity yandere-chan petrify all students the same way a mind slave would? I think that a no sanity yandere is way scarier than a mind-slave. One more thing, in the final version do you think that when you murder someone near a wall instead of clipping through it yandere-chan pushes them against the wall and kills them and their body slumps down it instead of it clipping through? p.s I am hyped for the next big update (or video) cant wait to see what you’ve been working on :).

  8. Dear Yandere Dev:
    -Add more plants and bookcases to the corridors and benches
    -Students sometime can be sick sometimes , they would be sitting in a Bach wearing a jacket or scarf, and they would be sneezing
    -Add weather
    -All students would eat lunch, the ones at the rooftop would eat at the roof top as same as the teachers sot here could be more people at the rooftop, but still there would be the gym the teacher in the faculty room, the club members should eat outside their clubs , that their would near benches, Delinquents would eat at the bench near them
    -Add the plaza near the bathing room, there would eat the Gardening club and the students from library which doesn’t have a routines
    -The drama club should be sometimes at the gym practicing
    -The Gardening club leader should e planting and weathering plants at their club space

  9. Yandere Dev some questions, I hope you have time to answer:

    1) Will the buildings (showers, auditorium) be closer to the school?

    2) Will the sports club consist only of men? When I see these sketches, I can not imagine a sports club without men:
    https://www.deviantart.com/lucfu/art/Sports-Club-2nd-version-751264713

    3) Will you use a different model for Gema? I think you’ve heard something about your thin complexion

    4) Today there is no one to see the classrooms when students and teachers are out of class, do you have plans to cover this?

    Thanks for reading, continue with the good work as always 😀

  10. yandere dev when do you expect the new build of yandere simultor to be out

    also ignore all the ignorant ungartefull people you deserve a life too they shoud be thankfull they even get the game and should stop moaning and get lifes your the best

  11. i have a few questions for you that i would really appreciate if u could answer but dont worry if you can not

    1- will there ever be 2 rivals in the same week for example hanako and megami as killing her would really upset senpai

    2- will each rival have two personal eliminations like osana with the pool and the extraction fan

    3-will the main building go though any drastic changes in the next update like a reshape or a new layout

    thankyou for producing such an amazing and fun game to play even though it is still in development it is one of the only games i never get tired of playing. 🙂

  12. I have a few questions:
    1. Do you have a presentation on how to contact rivals with senpas?
    2. Will there still be mini-games such as keys and hooligans, if so, how do you imagine them?
    3. Do you need to crawl on the floor, only to take pictures of panties?
    4. Is it possible to release someone from the club to leave, than just kill the leader?
    5. Will there be sempai in clubs if Kizana or someone else asks him to join him at the club?
    6. If in old gatherings the corpse is brought into the Methodist’s room , then on the carpet and on the objects in will not be like the other blood, what does it mean?
    7. Why do we need a labyrinth, in addition to accomplishing the task of Osana?

    I hope I do not interrupt you and thank you for your work!

      • I can try to make it more understandable.
        1. Will there be a video about how all of the rivals talk or think about/to senpai?
        2. In the final game, will there be more minigames like the one for pick-pocketing or fighting?
        3.Will taking pantyshots be the only reason to have the ability to crawl? OR Will crawling be the only option to take pantyshots?
        4. Will it be possible to make someone leave the club without killing? OR Will it be possible to disband a club without killing anyone?
        5. Will senpai join a club if one of Yan-Chans rivals asks him to?
        6.???
        7. Will the labyrinth be the only option to accomplish Osanas quest (finding the kitty charm)?

        I hope I could help you with this one.
        -Jill

  13. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYANDERE DEV YANDERE DEV! I have some questions!

    1: Will YandereSimulator be free on it’s release? If no, how much do you think it would cost?
    2: Will Asu be the only girl in the sports club is the club only consists of boys?
    3: Will Yandere-Chan ever be able to steal things from people’s bags?
    4: Are you able to tell us anything about the suitor you imagine for Osana?
    5: Will Midori ever play a purpose in the storyline?
    6: Will Yandere-Chan be able to accuse people of crimes in the future? (Ex: accusing someone of murder, drowning, poisoning etc..)
    7: Are witnesses going to play any purpose when the police arrive at school?
    8: Will the police check student’s phones during an investigation? If so, would this be a way to frame people for murder?

    • 1) https://yanderesimulator.com/about/

      2) Yes, Asu will be the only girl in the club.

      3) It’s too early to say.

      4) I wouldn’t like to spoil it.

      5) Possibly, but I haven’t been planning on it.

      6) It’s too early to say.

      7) If I decide that the game is too easy and difficulty needs to be increased, then I’ll make a rule like “If more than 5 people testify that you’re a murderer, then the police arrest you and you get a game over.”

      8) I think that phones should be checked during a police investigation, although I have to put some thought into all of the side-effects / consequences of making this a part of the game.

    • I think about it sometimes. I saw a cool mod where it was possible. However, I feel like it would be pretty tricky to implement it properly, and I feel like it could result in a lot of weird bugs, so it’s a pretty low priority right now.

    • At this point, I think that the idea of having a female Senpai should be considered a “stretch goal” – it’s something I’ll begin to *consider* only *after* all of my other goals have been achieved.

  14. Questions for Yandev! ( Deformed Lisa Simpson made me do this )

    -If the Gym, Pool, And Other things outside of the school will get closer to the school does that mean so will the open area ( besides the track ) ?
    – Will there be Another School or a Street behind akademi high to simulate the part that Saki is doing some frisky stuff with the boys from the other school(s) ?
    -Will Yandere Chan be able to Swim in the Swimming pool in akademi? (to have the swimsuit at least another purpose)
    -If the town was ever implemented (in this case it doesn’t really need too) but will Ayano Have a Danganronpa styled type of argument when she’s questioned by the Jury, Counselor, or perhaps… MEGAMI???

    • 1) I don’t understand.

      2) Oh…I had forgotten about this. I think I should change the position of Saki’s bra so that it’s in a place where it could logically have been thrown to.

      3) I think this would be a cool feature to implement, but…there’s just no reason for it.

      4) When the counselor is implemented, you might see something like what you’re imagining.

      • Two more questions…

        During the course of the Nine Weeks; is there a school festival or something similar to that? It can also make yandere chan kill people harder because of the populated area and it might have police officers around too!

        And what I was trying to say was:
        If the stuff around the school like the pool, the gym, etc… will be closer to the school…. does it also mean the open area of the school will be smaller right?

      • Adding a school festival would require tons of new assets and animations. It’s the type of thing that would extend the game’s development time, so I’m really hesitant to promise this sort of feature until after I have a super-firm idea of what the game’s final scope and budget will be like.

        As for your second question, please just wait and see.

  15. Yandere Dev! Yandere Dev! I have some questions!
    1) Rivals who have fast reflexes (Osoro Shidesu, Megami Saikou) can dodge the water before it hits them, so, if Yandere-chan set a bucket trap, will they notice it or they will just walk throught it and get soak with water?
    2) In the final game, can we drug a student in order to kidnap them instead of using a syringe and tranquilizer ? (I think we can get the drug from the Yakuza or maybe from Info-chan)
    3) With rivals who are strong enough to fight back a mindslave (Osoro, Megami), Can we sneak up on them and kill them and let it like a murder-suicide?
    4) Would a student council member be able to peper spray a midslave when they’re coming to kill them or peper spray a mindslave that was trying to kill themselves ?
    Please reply! And I love your work so much!

    • 1) I think that some rivals will be immune to certain “tricks” unless you meet specific criteria first. (I’m trying to be vague because of spoilers.)

      2) Adding an “unconscious” state to the game means that I would have to implement situations like “Student discovers unconscious student” and “student wakes up from being unconscious”. This adds a lot of extra work, so I’d prefer to *only* allow the player to kidnap a student under circumstances where there could not possibly be any witnesses.

      3) You’ll see.

      4)They’d be too surprised to take action.

  16. Hi yandev. I have a few questions i would want to ask!
    1. Will the sports club memebers swim in the pool?
    2. Will yanchan also be able to swim in the pool?
    3. Will the new build be out Before or On August 1?
    Thanks! I really love all the effort you put into the game!

  17. Hello there! I have a small question. You don’t have to answer it if you don’t want to. I completely understand if you choose not to.

    Will the coding for the other nine rivals be same as Osana’s just with different models and voice lines? Or, will they all be unique and suit the rival individually?

    • Well, it’s not really a “yes” or “no” question…

      Each rival will be unique, but the game might use the same block of code when checking to see if a character is a rival, to apply certain conditions to them.

  18. YandereDev, I love your game!
    But I have questions…

    1) Will Pose Mode ever have an option where you can give people objects?
    2) Will Pose Mode ever have an option where you can give people paths to walk on? (e.g: Set Yui to walk from Class 1-1 to Class 1-2)
    3) Will there be an option in Cinematic Camera Mode where you can look around?
    4) In Pose Mode, will you ever add a way so game overs are halted or an option to do so? (E.g: Steal Answer Sheet doesn’t alert teachers; the nurse’s and Uekiya’s keys don’t have the option to pick-pocket instead you have them; Taro’s aura)
    5) Will you ever add more Unknown Spots after everyone is implemented?

    Thank you for following the development of my fingers — they hurt a bit after typing this.
    Thank you for your time.

    • 1) It’s a very popular request, so I’ve considered it a lot, but right now, it’s way too low-priority to work on.

      2) Instead of shoehorning this type of feature into Pose Mode, I’d rather create a “Cutscene Mode” or a “Design Your Own Student Routine” mode. But it’s not something I’d work on for a long time.

      3) Maybe eventually, but it’s not a high priority to me right now.

      4) I guess I could add stuff like this, but I feel like it’s way higher priority to focus on important gameplay features instead.

      5) This depends on a large number of factors that I cannot predict right now.

  19. Yandere dev in the final game will have a dark atmosphere? because i like so much this shining atmosphere or you can leave the debug menu to only change the atmosphere to your preference.

  20. Hmmm… I have some questions.
    1) Will you add a teacher that walks around the school during classtime to check the school? (like she wants to make sure that no students are skipping class. I don’t know does Japanese schools have it, but my school does.
    2) If a student council member has a reputation lower than -50, will they be a student council member anymore?
    3) How can I join the student council when Megami is absent? (I know there’s Kuro. But how?)
    4) After eliminate all rivals, Yandere-chan can win Senpai, right? But she mostly never talk to him. Then how can she make Senpai loves Yandere-chan?

  21. I have some questions, as well.
    1. Are there going to be voice lines for when Yandere-Chan tries to make a conversation with a student?
    2. Are you going to turn the windows of the school transparent?
    3. Why can there only be 100 students?
    Also, good job on creating such a good game. Keep going! ^o^

    • 1) This depends on a large number of factors that I cannot determine right now.

      2) Probably not.

      3) It’s *possible* that we might spend a bunch of time working really hard to optimize the game as much as humanly possible, and discover that, no matter how optimized / efficient the code is, we’re limited to having about 100 characters at school before the framerate begins to drop. So, we *might* be locked to a number like “100”, or maybe not. This is one of the things we can’t determine right now, until we’ve spent a bunch of time on it.

  22. Yandere Dev I really wanted to write this and thought a lot about it:
    1. How can I improve my school?
    1) Put a large flowerbed from the horticultural club on both sides before entering the school
    2) Place either a bush from the horticultural club, or a small flower bed with roses around the trees near the sempai fountain (those in the middle, behind the pits)
    3) Automat from the cafeteria to the roof

  23. will you ever update the hair models of the rainbow 6 and the rainbow boys as they arenot as crazy as the other students

  24. Yandere Dev I have something I wanna tell you: You know the missing poster feature, right? Some students (like the Gardening Club, The Delinquents,…) don’t have missing poster when they’re gone missing, can you please add them.

  25. hello yandev!!!! i have a really important question about rivals
    if you make senpai reject a rival…will she appear in school? is she going to have a different routine? is she going to have different interactions with rivals?
    thank you for reading!!!!! and don`t give up. you are my favorite game developer(im sorry if my english isn`t good)

  26. I love your club update. I can really see the game shaping up now. Good job YandereDev

    One question: If the students calls Ayano Yan-chan, then wouldn’t they relize that she is the one murdering for her love?

    • I’ve considered it, too. I haven’t thought about it in a long time, though. It’s something I’ll be able to determine much later, closer to the game’s release.

  27. I have a few questions:

    1) Will all clubs have male and female students?

    2) Will the Sports Club members at any time wonder around the exterior / interior of the school except cleaning time?

    3) Will every club be implemented by at least the end of this year / the start of next year?

    Suggestion:
    I think the cooking club should walk around giving students food that they’ve cooked, as well as Yandere-chan. (There could also be a club activity for feeding other club members food.)
    Thanks for reading.

  28. Hi Yandere Dev I would like to ask a couple questions and thoughts for the future of Yandere Sim

    1. Will the thought of having easter egg characters removed as they would change the feeling of yandere sim
    2. I see that personalities should require an eye type so that the player could infer their personality
    3. The Yakuza being added at the present time would be irrelevant as of the delinquents have changed yet I would see a good elimination as of Osana (or the other rivals) being kidnapped
    4. If 90 students are added will they have unique hairstyles because they won’t stick out that much

    • 1) In the future, I think that it should only be possibly to activate easter eggs if the player has activated a cheat code at the game’s main menu.

      2) I like the idea of including more unique eye types, but not for the purpose of telling a player what type of character someone is; the player needs to be able to know that from far away.

      3) I don’t understand.

      4) You’ll see.

  29. hi yandere dev
    1- when do you imagine the next build will be ready by
    2-will rivals be alot easier to impliment into the game afterosana or will they take just as long
    3- will you ever add any more wepons to the game or udate the textures of the new on
    4- will the turtle be in the final game
    5- will we ever meet ayano’s mum and dad
    6- will the pool elimination method be added with the sports club and will the pool be moved

  30. I found this game from some friends from school. They were staying over at my house because we have a home theater, and we were doing the most logical thing to do with a home theater (watch random anime stuff). My friend had the remote and she was like “Hey, check out this crazy game!” and we watched a guy play a dinosaur build. We laughed because, well, crazy physics.

    Now I’m here, about 4 years later, and the game has grown so much. I’m going off to college for game design this fall, and this has given me huge insight into the development process.

    Thank you (^ω^)

  31. I am loving your game so far Yandere Dev. But i have noticed a big bug.
    when am crouching to take a panty shot and take picture and Im caught the game freezes. I have tried this with two of the popular bully girls already and the same thing happened.

  32. 1. In the final game after the player beats the game, would there be like a “11th Rival” like after all challenges are completed, all weapons collected, we found all tapes etc.
    2. In the final game after the player beats the game should there be a “Debug Mode” where we could play through the game using debug commands?
    3. Will you use the real club leaders (As u, Kizana, Amai) to represent the concept of the club or will you use a member?

  33. *Ahem!* Yandere Dev, Yandere Dev! When I was playing Yandere simulator all the girls and boys changed weirdly after i got out a classroom! When I walked out a bunch of blue haired girls and black haired boys were walking. I tried talking to them but i couldn’t! Were you doing a test for the models?

  34. Hello Yandere dav. I have some questions.
    1) Will there be fashion in the final version?
    2) You can turn off jokes from the pantry without restarting the day?
    3) Will Oka use magic against Yan-chan?
    Thank you.
