Big January Update

Today’s update is huge – possibly the biggest update that the game has ever had, aside from the Osana update and the 1980s Mode update. This might also be the longest blog post I’ve ever written, simply because of all the new content I need to describe!

To see a list of everything that was added / changed / fixed / improved in the latest build, please scroll down past this gorgeous New Years’ illustration of Aoi by unknown-ANN0! Why Aoi? Because 2024 is a “Year of the Dragon” in the Chinese Zodiac!

Responding to the Allegation, and the Future of the Project

EDIT: I’m sorry, everyone. It pains me to say this, but I’ve been forced to make the video private. I’m not at liberty to discuss the reason why. I’ll only say that it was putting a specific individual at risk. (Not me.) I’ll update this post if the situation changes.

Last year, an extremely serious accusation was made about me that I would like to address. Please watch the video below.

Small Announcements

Hello,

I would like to make two small announcements today. If you’re a current (or former) volunteer who has been trying to contact me, or if you’re an adult-aged fan of the game, these announcements will be relevant to you.

Moving Forward

I’ve been exhibiting horribly self-destructive behavior on a regular basis for a long time now.

As a result of the many conversations I’ve had over the past few days, I think I can pinpoint the cause. My downward spiral is the result of consistently making incredibly unwise lifestyle choices that have caused my mental health to deteriorate massively over time.

It didn’t hit me until recently just how bad things had gotten. Haven’t left the house since July 2019, no real-life acquaintances, 16+ hours on the computer every day, no vacations in half a decade, prioritizing work above my physical health…it shouldn’t be any surprise whatsoever that when you allow both your body and mind to completely waste away, you dissolve into a “mistake machine” – a person that is capable of nothing but bad decisions, who exists solely to cause problems for others.

Since the last blog post, a lot of people have reached out to me to share the same advice: “See a therapist.” “Get hobbies that don’t involve a computer or TV screen.” “Step away from game development for a few months.” All of it can be summarized as: “Start making healthy life choices that will turn you into more of a normal human being.” And, I honestly can’t argue with that.

I’m sorry.

Hi. You’ve probably heard some really concerning stuff over the last few days. You might have seen a video that has left you feeling worried, disappointed, and wondering what I have to say for myself.

There’s a part of me that wants to say, “No, you don’t understand, the video was edited in an extremely dishonest and misleading way, blah blah blah…” but, no, I’m not going to focus on that.

There’s a part of me that wants to do what I usually do, and type out a massive essay where I over-explain absolutely every single detail about the entire situation, provide context to absolutely everything, go point-by-point down the list of every possible fact that could make the situation easier to understand.

But, no, I’m not going to do that. This isn’t a blog post about how, “Actually, you see, I didn’t really do anything all that bad, if you consider all the facts…” I’m just going to take accountability and own up to a really, REALLY huge fucking mistake that I’ve made.

September 19th Bug-Fixing Build

Hello!

There was a bug in the latest build that wasn’t absolutely game-breaking, but was definitely easy to notice. I don’t want people to waste their time reporting a bug that has already been fixed, so I’m uploading a new build with that issue resolved – along with various other improvements and fixes.

Big September Update

Curious to know if the recent Unity controversy will affect Yandere Simulator? Click here to find out!

Hello! I’ve prepared a new build for you today! I’m proud of this one, because I was able to take care of a lot of “dangling loose ends” that I really wanted to resolve before continuing forward with development. I’ll elaborate more about it at the bottom of this blog post.

Regarding the Recent Unity Controversy…

Next build? Coming soon! Less than 24 hours. In the meantime, though…

There is a certain topic that I’ve been asked about dozens of times over the past few days, so I figure that I should probably write out all of my thoughts in one place, so that I can simply link people to this post whenever they ask me about the subject.
