I honestly lost interest in YandereDev ages ago. I just pop my head in on occasion because I find the tech/coding/modding discussions fascinating.

Unreal Engines bigger impact was in the kickstarter space - the engine is by default more beautiful than unity (both can get beautiful, but out of the box unity is pretty basic and out of the box unreal cranks shit up), and it was used to make a lot of complete novices look like master devs with beautiful and impossible product pitches they never delivered on.
It really is a horrific indictment of the games state that a bunch of nerds bitching over programming is more entertaining than the actual video game itself. I think my faves are the garbage and stolen designs he's trying to use, while the volunteers desperately try and fail to cobble together some sort of coherent aesthetic out of this mess.

I think that what upset me the most about this was that this game had potential. I played it not long after it's big heyday when Markiplier was playing it and I actually liked it. I thought that it could be something that was, at the very least, entertaining. But all of the bullshit that Alex kept pulling just turned me off of ever giving it another shot. And that was BEFORE I found out that he was a shit person.
It really pissed me off when I saw separate games inspired by his work that I actually got excited for, only for them to get canceled because of Alex's antics. After that, I just went "Fuck him". I like tech shit and am always up for learning something new, and the discussions here on those topics are far more interesting than whatever stunt he's pulling this week.

I’ll still argue that the concept isn’t complete shit, it’s just that of all people to start working on it, it was this particular fucker. In the hands of… honestly anyone competent, game probably would’ve been done in a year, two tops, and would probably be remembered as a niche indie title.
Instead, it’s now a game in development hell, with a graveyard of clones and fam games made by similar retards, because this entire genre seems to be cursed. Might be by whatever was in the Chalice…
The only reason I poke my head in here every once in a while is just a morbid curiosity of how much more shit the game’s gotten, without having to sit through a Youtube video

May 24 bug fixing build (archive)
New build! What’s different? 1 new feature, 10 improvements, 41 bug fixes, 7 text adjustments, and 1 half-implemented mystery feature!
Want to read a complete list of everything that was changed, fixed, or added in the latest build? Scroll down past this cute artwork by Bbreaad_!
Ah! It’s so cute! Ahh! So cute! Ahhh! Cute cute CUTE!
If you’ve been following the game for a long time, you probably remember that, years ago, I added some kind of “air ventilation control system” machine to the rooftop, and then never did anything with it. Today, I’ve finally given that object the functionality it was always intended to have!
If you approach the ventilation machine while holding a stink bomb, you will be able to send a horrible stench to any room in the school. Interacting with the machine will open up an interface that lets you select which room you’d like to send the stench to.
The stench will last for 60 seconds. During that time, anyone who comes into contact with the stink cloud will run outside of the school to get fresh air for 60 seconds.
What is the utility of this feature? Well, for example, you can use it to make all of the teachers in the faculty room run outside of the school simultaneously, making it trivially easy to steal anything you want from the faculty room! (That includes the paper clips, the faculty ID card, the cigarettes, the answer sheet, and the manhole cover tool!)
Will this feature one day be updated with the ability to use lethal poison or sedatives to kill or sedate an entire room full of people? Well, I don’t think I should add that kind of functionality to the game…I think it would have the potential to be a drastically imbalanced feature. If you could eliminate your rivals with poison gas and leave behind zero evidence, you’d go with that option every time, wouldn’t you?
It’s too early to say whether or not the functionality of this feature will expand in the future, but I’ll keep an ear open for good suggestions from the fans.
- If the player giggles while inside of a locker room / bathroom area, nobody will investigate, because they don’t want to be a creep who is peeking on someone in the locker room / bathroom. This is now conveyed in the text that appears when a notification pops up at the top of the screen to alert the player that a giggle has been ignored.
- When torturing a prisoner in your basement, the “you will reduce your prisoner’s sanity by __%” text in the description box will now update to reflect any bonus damage that you’re doing to your prisoner’s sanity as a result of upgrading the Psychology stat.
- Previously, any student with the “Snitch” persona would not respond positively to any kind of locker note. As of this update, they will now respond positively to any note about Bullying, Fighting Evil, or Suspicious Activity.
- From now on, dropping a weapon (or other pickup) nearby its original position will result in the object re-appearing in the spot where it originally came from, instead of being unceremoniously plopped onto the ground at your feet.
- Because Ayano’s phone background becomes darker in Mission Mode, some of the phone menu text has been made lighter so that it’s easier to read on a dark background.
- You can now rapidly scroll up/down the Task List or Tutorial List by holding up/down instead of rapidly tapping up/down to get where you wanted to be in the list.
- Students now have a subtitle for reacting to the sight of the player trespassing, instead of just saying “Hm…” when they witness trespassing.
- Students no longer react negatively to being splashed with water while they are wearing a swimsuit.
- The player can now apologize for trespassing (previously, the option simply did not exist.)
- Updated the “POOL’S CLOSED” artwork with new illustrations that were drawn by OMGAyano!
- Fixed bug that caused students to be alarmed by the sight of the player holding bloody scissors, but did not cause the student to accurately categorize what they were seeing, or subtract from the player’s reputation, or allow the player to offer an apology/explanation for the scissors.
- Fixed bug that prevented students from accurately categorizing Ayano’s behavior if witnessing her being weird around Senpai, but still allowed the player to perform the “Apologize” action, which basically granted the player free reputation points with no downside.
- Fixed bug that would cause Raibaru to become “alive and dead at the same time” if she was electrocuted to death with a car battery while spying on Osana’s phone call, and then Osana was killed before Raibaru’s electrocution animation had ended.
- Fixed bug that caused the game to mis-identify a Makeshift Knife as a weapon made out of metal, which would cause it to trigger metal detectors (even though a Makeshift Knife is made from glass, wooden sticks, and bandages).
- Fixed bug that would cause the “Low Reputation Game Over” cutscene to be a permanent black screen and never conclude, if the cutscene was activated while Ayano was reporting blood or a corpse to the faculty.
- Fixed bug that prevented the bucket from having an orange “this is evidence of murder” outline in Yandere Vision if the bucket was used to collect blood and gore from a student shredded by the woodchipper.
- Fixed bug that caused Raibaru’s pathfinding to break if Osana was killed during her Thursday rooftop event while Raibaru was distracted with the act of returning a dropped object where it belonged.
- Fixed bug that would cause students to get stuck in a “standing idle” pose when being stabbed by the Flame Demon Knife, if they were stabbed while the player had attracted their attention somehow.
- Fixed bug that prevented the game from correctly logging the cause of death of a rival if the rival was killed in an explosion and then the player cleaned up all evidence of the crime.
- Fixed bug that would cause a student to fail to return to their routine properly if they were splashed with water while on their way to the locker room to change into a swimsuit.
- Fixed bug that would cause the player’s reputation to drop for “skipping school” if they tortured a kidnapped victim on Sunday, even though there is no school on Sunday.
- Fixed bug that prevented the “Rich Girl” icon from unlocking on the Content Checklist if the player met the criteria by selling a kidnapped victim to the Yakuza.
- Fixed bug that caused delinquent pathfinding to break if a delinquent was attacked while fleeing school after witnessing the corpse or murder of a bully girl.
- Fixed bug that prevented the game from accurately remembering whether or not the protagonist had a “weapon bag” attached to her back when loading a save file.
- Fixed bug that prevented the game from remembering how corpses should be dressed when loading a save, if the save was created while corpses were at school.
- Fixed bug that made the “RIVAL” Map Marker appear in gameplay above a dead rival’s body after reloading a save file with a dead rival on school grounds.
- Fixed bug that would cause a “throwing object” trajectory arc to come out of the protagonist if a box of stink bombs was present anywhere at school.
- Fixed bug that caused a piece of evidence to stop being marked as evidence in Yandere Vision if it was picked up by the player and then dropped.
- Fixed bug that caused a student’s profile to display the name of that student’s crush, even if their crush had not enrolled in school yet.
- Fixed bug that caused Osana to slide around the school fountain instead of sitting down at it during her Tuesday book-reading event.
- Fixed bug that would prevent the game from moving forward from Sunday to Monday if the player tortured a kidnapped victim on Sunday.
- Fixed bug that prevented students from removing their aprons and musical instrument cases when changing into swimsuits to sunbathe.
- Fixed bug that prevented the game from accurately remembering if a weapon should be stored in a weapon bag upon reloading a save.
- Fixed bug that allowed the player to go to school on Sunday by using the “take mind-broken slave to school” option on a Sunday.
- Fixed bug that would cause the Matchmaking menu to display the text “(Not Available)” over a valid and available menu option.
- Fixed bug that would cause the Journalist to appear in 202X if the player attended the Light Music Club’s rhythm minigame.
- Fixed bug that caused most characters to perpetually run around school instead of walking calmly to their destinations.
- Fixed bug that would cause Ayano to “sit in midair” if she attended class while the police were on their way to school.
- Fixed bug that would cause a rival to accept food from the player even if the player had not stolen the rival’s bento.
- Fixed bug that caused a dead student to count as a “witness” on the 1980s Mode stats screen and courtroom sequence.
- Fixed bug that prevented the player from being able to store corpses inside of lockers after reloading a save file.
- Fixed bug that allowed the player to commit murder right in front of the Journalist without any repercussions.
- Fixed bug that caused lockers to incorrectly believe that they contained corpses when reloading a save file.
- Fixed bug that caused dead bodies wrapped in garbage bags to have white outlines instead of orange outlines.
- Fixed bug that allowed Ryoba to order the Yakuza to kidnap a rival who was arrested by the police.
- Fixed bug that prevented Osana from sitting where she belonged in her Tuesday lunchtime event.
- Fixed bug that caused Aoi to sit in midair at lunchtime if she was fired from the student council.
- Fixed bug that prevented students from pathfinding to chalkboards during Cleaning Time.
- Fixed bug in Pose Mode that prevented the “Blood” feature from working as intended.
- Fixed bug that could result in the Journalist speaking two voice lines simultaneously.
- Fixed bug that was preventing the character Otohiko from spawning at school.
- Updated the “Frame” Idea to mention that you can get a girl’s fingerprints on a weapon by dropping an innocuous weapon like a screwdriver on the ground in her field of vision.
- Updated the “Befriend” and “Betray” Ideas to more accurately reflect the steps for Befriending/Betraying in 1980s Mode.
- Updated the “Poison” Idea to reflect the fact that there are multiple ways to put poison in a student’s food.
- Updated the “Kidnap” Idea to remove any reference to the “Headache Poison”, since it is unavailable in 1989.
- Updated the “Burn” Idea to mention the option of a Bunsen burner instead of a candle from the Occult Club.
- Updated the “Expel” Idea to include the new method for stealing a ring from Himeko Dereguchi.
- Updated the “Electrocution” Idea to reflect the updated location of the pipe wrench.
You will notice that I’ve added some cardboard boxes to the basement of the Aishi home. Why did I do that? You’ll find out soon…if not this month, then probably next month. But, if you’re impatient, and you want to know immediately, you can figure it out by searching for “Basement” on the About page of the official website…

Can't quote, so @lumaleelumabop:
Alex: "I doubt I'm going to allow the player to use lethal poison or sedatives to kill an entire room full of people, since it would be drastically imbalanced."
Also Alex: "This feature will make it trivially easy to steal what you want from the faculty room!"
...It was already easy for people to steal from the faculty room, why make it so someone could do it in the first few minutes and tell them exactly where the balloons and ammonia are? With the distraction method, you at least had to wait until a certain time and lure the P.E. teacher out before you could swipe the items marked in red. But that involves a semblance of challenge and we apparently can't have that.
Meanwhile over on the Discord server, Alex had a question for people:
They were complaining to him allegedly about hair models being downgraded, so Alex made a new server rule to shut them up.
Alex is also apparently working on a new design for Akademi.

We all know he didn't make that "new model" lmao, man can't draw for shit.
Also, I still don't get why he's so bothered with balancing. A game like this doesn't need balancing, it needs a productive and satisfying risk/reward factor. Take the easy, broken way and you get shitty rewards. Do things in the most difficult way, you get the best ending/rewards. If he did it this way, not only would it make it much more fun, but it would improve replayability by a fuckton. I'm thoroughly convinced he has no logic.

Your thoroughly convinced of the truth then. He's fallen into theme park game design - He's trying to ensure every single player takes the exact same predefined routes through the game without having the opportunity to miss (or discover) anything by their own talents. He seems to have fallen down this path for fear of the game breaking - The mistaken belief that strictly defined routes and engagements are easier to fix. Balance is a far concern away, and is just an excuse to prevent someone from doing 'the wrong thing' at 'the wrong time'.
Unfortunately for Alex, this line of thinking is a trap - the more tightly coupled the game is, the more damaging the smallest break or gap is to its design. As soon as one piece gets a little too dynamic and interactive, it starts taking over everything - not by virtue of being explicitly better, but by virtue of having more opportunities, throwing the entire carefully crafted mess out. A much more resilient design is far less restrictive, allowing things to be done for no other reason than "the game rules allow it". This leads to weird emergent behavior where players will consistently discover new ways to do things, and probably ignore others.
Think of it as the difference between a crafted haunted house, and a naturally creepy forest. Both aim to scare, but you'll notice every little mistake in the haunted house - its already so well crafted that every scare that fails to fire will be a flop, every ray of light sneaking in around a blacked out window will stand out like a sore thumb. The forest is scary by the combination of its aspects - Many people will find different scary things in the forest, find a path they can tolerate walking, and usually enjoy it at the end. Even if most of them walked right past the scariest pieces without knowing.

V accurate. Like I've said before, he's completely trying to make an on-rails sandbox game, which is simultaneously the most contradictory and dumbest thing I have heard of in my entire life. He's so controlling, yet so much of it just comes from the man trying to cover up his shit coding.
Every game has bugs and game breaks, Alex. The point of game development/bug fixing is to get rid of as many as possible, so that the average player will not encounter them (because the glitches should basically only exist for people actively seeking them out, i.e. speedrunners). I mean, even a game which gets way too jizzed over, Earthbound, has tons of game breakers and exploits. Doesn't stop it from being one of the most influential games of all time.
