Pretty much everything I wanted to say today is contained in that video, but there’s just one thing I’d like to elaborate on…bugs!
I spent the past 6 hours hunting for bugs in the build, and actually found a bunch of critical game-breaking glitches! Bugs that made the screen turn white and never return to normal, bugs that made multiple scripted events occur simultaneously, bugs that made Yandere-chan blink out of existence during cut-scenes…I managed to fix every issue that I encountered, but dang, I’m really glad that I decided to bug-hunt before releasing the demo!
Because I could easily find so many issues during a simple, cursory playthrough of the demo, I’m sure there are other issues that escaped my notice. This first release of the demo is doubtlessly going to be a bit rough around the edges. I’ll probably spend the rest of the day watching people stream the demo so that I can take note of bugs and quickly prepare a bug-fixing update to release within 24 hours. If you run into any issues, I apologize in advance!
There’s only one thing that I foresee being a problem. I usually test the game at a resolution of 1280×720. I recently learned that the depth-of-field effect looks different depending on the resolution that you’re playing the game at. So, if the game looks blurry for you, you might want to try switching to a resolution of 1280×720, until I can release an update that makes the depth-of-field effect appear consistent across all resolutions.
While implementing Osana, I made dozens of fixes / changes / additions / improvements to the game. Because I was making so many rapid changes to the game, I didn’t actually log most of the fixes/additions. I can show you a changelog, but it won’t actually be a complete list of all the changes. Click “Continue Reading” if you’re interested in seeing it, anyway!
- Fixed bug that would cause a student to attempt to attend a “meeting” while standing at their desk, if the player arranged a meeting with that student and then advanced time by attending class.
- Camera sensitivity when aiming Yandere-chan’s phone camera is now determined by the Camera Sensitivity option in the Settings menu.
- Removed exploit that allowed the player to kill without consequence if they were standing in the middle of the Occult clubroom.
- The button prompts that appear at town will now change depending on whether the player is using a keyboard or controller.
- It is no longer possible for characters to get trapped if the player blocks their path using a jug of bleach.
- Fixed bug that allowed the player to stop a student who had been “Sent Home” by aiming a camera at them.
- Fixed bug that allowed the player to use the “Send Home” feature on a student who didn’t have a phone.
- Fixed bug that make it impossible to pick up the cello case, even after joining the Light Music Club.
- It is no longer possible for characters to get stuck at the entrance to the gardening club.
- Fixed bug that made it impossible to pick up one of the tapes in the basement.

Hooray! Congratulations!! 💌
Congratulations! Hopefully, now that Osana is implemented, implementing more rivals will be much easier! Thank you for never giving up!
Awesome work, YandereDev. With the demo out, this Crowdfunding campaign can begin.
I AM SO HAPPY RN THX YANDERE DEV
Congrats YanDev!!!! Thank you for making this game!!!!!
It is great news, YandereDev! If only I could use my computer right now to help with bug-hunting… I hope I get to experience the demo soon enough!
O DIOS MIO, ESO QUE VEO ES VERDAD?, NO ESTOY MUERTO, AHORA SI QUE CREO EN USTED EL INIGUALABLE YANDERE DEV,
AHORA SOLO FALTA RL VIDEO DE MEGAMI Y SU NOVIA AOI Y EL DE LOS MODELOS DE PERSONAJES, FELICIDADES YANDERE DEV NO ME ESPERABA MENOS, TIENED MI APOLLO
Google Translator translation:
OH MY GOD, IS IT TRUE WHAT I SEE? I’M NOT DEAD, NOW IF I BELIEVE IN YOU THE UNMATCHED YANDERE DEV,
NOW ONLY MISSING RL VIDEO OF MEGAMI AND HIS GIRLFRIEND AOI AND THAT OF THE CHARACTER MODELS, CONGRATULATIONS YANDERE DEV I WAS NOT WAITING LESS, YOU HAVE MY APOLLO
LMAO
You have my Apollo too
“You have my support.”
Apoyo and tienes are misspelt
Aoi is not Megami’s girlfriend. Remember?
You DID it YandereDev! You should feel proud of yourself! Good luck on everything else!
is putting a mac version for yandere simulator a priority now that Osana is done?
I thought your sentence said “
Bro I cant’t wait to see jay play the demo
My heart is beating so fast! i know what too wait will give reward!
just downloaded and the menu is black =(
Oh wow, I have waited for this moment since the start of the year ;w;
I was waiting until the demo released so I could try out every single elimination method and I’m so ready!!!! 😀
YOU FINNALY DID IT!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
We believe in you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations! The demo is awesome! The game’s biggest weakness at this point (and I mean this as constructive criticism) is the way we walk around the bedroom and to choose which location to go to. Maybe you don’t have the resources to do so, but I’d suggest we be able to walk through the house into the basement, outside and down the street to school, and so forth all in game without any menu options to “go here” or “go there.”
This is just an opinion but I honestly don’t think that’s needed. Some people just wanna dash to the door and be on their way. It’d be unnecessary to have them go through the house all the way downstairs or outside when it’s not an important map for the most part.
When I tried to download the demo using the launcher it crashes and it tells me that an error has occurred and something about my IP address, and then I tried downloading it the other ways and it won’t work when I try to extract the zip file!!! Someone, please help me,
When that happened to me I just redownloaded the launcher, and it seems to have fixed that issue.
I can’t wait until jay plays the demo
Oh, and PLEASE give us an option to invert the Y axis! Those of who who play flight simulators have created muscle memory to push forward to look down and pull back to look up. People who don’t play flight simulators have the opposite instinct. The game is literally unplayable for one group or the other if you can’t invert the Y axis.
Um Yandere Dev, you will update the description that yandere simulator is a sandbox and now it is a demo?
Same I did everything but it didn’t work I thought it’s because my computer isn’t really good I hope yanderedev fixes this thing
Oof wrong person-
Lastly, I know this request is a long shot, but do you think you’d be able to release a Linux version of the final game?
Whenever I open the game, after the sponsor screen, it just goes black.
Dont spam any buttons, it happened to me just let it go without spamming buttons
I think it may be a bug (most likely)
I figured it out, tap a button and the menu prompts should come up then go to the settings then go to the detail options and turn on draw distance.
Yea same it’s bad 😦
Also, same. Not sure if that’s normal and the problem is my computer, or if that’s a new issue, as I’ve never played the game before.
This is happening to me as well! I’m not sure what to do
The same thing happened to me! I hope there will be an explanation or a fix soon.
The same thing happened to me, I just pressed Enter and the menu selections popped up, it looks weird but once you get past the menu the game should work fine!
The same thing happened to me as well
Same 😦
same dude
Same idk whats going on at all im getting a little frustrated …. because im so happy to play i wanna play sooo bad right now but i cannot ;-;
please help
You got to press start (on xbox controller) or enter (on keyboard) I had the same problem and pressing that button gives me the options to play the game
Press enter go to settings and go to detail options
Set draw distance to 10m that should fix it
happening to me as well. I am super excited to play though!…once it opens. haha
Same I wanna cry rn TvT
is anyone else’s game just a black screen? I chose my settings and the music is playing but its just a black screen?
after the sponsor screen, my screen goes black
You need to update yanderesimulator.com as it still says download debug
What do you mean?
The game improved so much. I love it! Only thing I think needs work is that moment when you can´t move because someone is coming for you (Raibaru or people going to pin you to the ground, etc.). It´s kinda annoying and feels weird. Sometimes it´s not even realistic because normal people would be scared and run away instead. There should be some good alibi system so the game doesn´t need you to get caught immediately for game over. Anyways I´m looking forward playing this demo, good job.
He mentioned before that he didn’t see the point of running away since Ayano had been seen doing something. Word would get to senpai and there would be no way of stopping it. So it wouldn’t make sense for her to run away when all she cares about is senpai.
Youre right, it would also add a more work for dev, but on the other side its more about the sense of freedom you have in game. Also, there is still a tiny chance of you killing everyone that has seen you and getting rid of evidence. I still think that the game would feel better to play like I said.
Congratulations on getting the demo out, YandereDev. I hope everything goes a lot more smoothly from here on out. And I look forward to seeing how people eliminate Osana from the game.
YES QUEEEEN
Are lesbians in the game yet?
I checked the game and there is an option to make your senpai a girl but unfortunately there is nothing actually there. Correct me if I’m wrong but it did say that with the crowdfunding it might be made.
I WAS SO EXCITED BUT AFTER I TRYED TO UPDATE THE GAME ITS TILL NOW 1 AAAAAAI WANNA BREAK MAH LAPTOP
Congratulations!
i cant wait till jay makes a vid
When I start up the demo and get to the main menu it’s all black and then I’ll click a button and the menu prompts come into focus and the more I click on them the more blurry they all become. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hey so I drowned osana and then I waited till Friday and then it said osana told Senpai to go under the cherry tree and then the game softlocked.
Also the headmaster has the easter egg reaction even though you dont have a box on
And it appears that i cant enable debugs
I put in the code and it does nothing
You must complete the demo once in order to get the debug commands
Thats what i did and its still not working
Same I beat the demo, entered “debug” in the cheat code labeled “extras” and if I load the same save it just reloads the ending if I pick a new save I lost the option for extras until I load the first one.
same lol the extras menu doesn’t let me type anything therefore i can’t enable debug:/
Is it ready for download?
If you steal sakyu basu’s ring while senpai is there the osana event on monday wont trigger!
My game stays in a black screen after the sponsoring advice… only the music is running. How can solve this? or is this normal?
hiya. i downloaded the game and it works perfectly up until the title screen. i can do the graphic settings at the start, the disclaimers and the sponsor screens fine, but the title screen is just black. however the music is still playing in the background. i’ve tried different graphical settings, running as admin, and even using comparability mode, but nothing works. none of the buttons respond either, so i can’t even enter the game. please help yandev!
Congratulations on releasing the demo! I downloaded it as soon as it was released, but when I reached the title screen, I could only hear the title screen music and see a black screen! I’ve been looking forward to this demo since October, and I really want to play it. Can you tell me what might have gone wrong?
