Blog:Yandere Simulator Debunk Page Debunked

'''Warning: This is an extremely long blog if the spoilers are unveiled. Also, YandereDev is active on this page and updates it as more controversies rise so this blog is subject to change and if I miss one please let me know. Some links may also be missing due to fatal error not letting me make change.'''

Another Warning: YandereDev might be subject to change as a person and these debunks might become dated, so please don't treat this blog as a permanent source of debunking.

YandereDev made this debunk page on the official Yandere Simulator website. It's garbage and just proves that he can't handle criticism. If he debunks the criticism that he has recieved then I suppose it's only fair that I debunk back. I will be following the debunks on the page in order off of the site so read YD's responses first before you read mine.

= Pointers That I Will Not be Debunking (Before You Read This Blog) = I will not be debunking these because it either sounds too stupid to even be something that was debunked in the first place or I was not able to find enough evidence that proves that he was lying. = Key = YD = Yandere Dev Debunk
 * 1) YandereDev wants to include a rape feature in Yandere Simulator! (Not even he would be crazy enough to do this let's be honest.)
 * 2) YandereDev wants to kill his parents! (Could be considered outdated)
 * 3) YandereDev wants to abolish the age of consent and replace it with a "sex license"! (I don't even...Even if it's true I still can't find proof.)
 * 4) YandereDev attacked the developer of Way To The Woods! (Seriously, it was just a tweet taken out of context)
 * 5) YandereDev defends pedophiles! YandereDev believes that pedophilia is a sexual orientation! (Sorry, but this one is a bit too much for me to discuss.)

PDD
While it's understandable that not every interaction with a fan of your game would be positive, you still shouldn't let your temper get the best of you because of the actual harassment that you are receiving and you end up being rude to a fan that didn't do anything to you, nor is it an actual excuse for your behavior in the first place. Treating your fans like this regardless of the situation is not good for the game's reputation or your own. You are making the vocal minority of the people who view you negatively that will go as far as to actually harass you directly seem much bigger than they actually are.

PDD
You might know how to get things in the game to function, but that doesn't fix the fact that the game's code is a mess. There are an extremely large amount of "if", "else if", "this" and "update" statements in the game's code. The large amount of else if statements make the code hard to read due to the unnecessary large amount of lines and a switch statement which be much more fitting. The large amount of update statements also cause the code to run in every frame, hence why the optimization is so terrible. This type of code is not small potatoes either, it can be found everywhere in the files.

PDD
Yes, you do. Yandere-chan's model is from the Aoi Character pack on the Unity Store, the old grass textures and room were traced from a person named Doug Clayton which you later removed and the heaviest file in the games was a toothbrush that you didn't even make. Hell, you even stole the school model from K-On! and Persona 4/5.

PDD
3 hours obviously isn't the whole day but with the fact that it has been 6 years and you still haven't even finished the first rival I find it ridiculous how you claim that you spend 8 hours a day working on this game, far more work should have been done than just the first rival if that were the case. While I am not saying that you should work nonstop on the game you shouldn't take breaks this frequently if you want people to believe that you are actually making progress on the game.

PDD
That is wrong. You knew people were starting to become impatient by your lack of progress on the game and divided the people that were still willing to wait and those who were criticizing your lack of progress. You don't have to work insane hours but you weren't doing very much to begin with.

PDD
So you are admitting that you didn't accept the criticism? It can be a bit stressful or overwhelming when a much more and bigger name developer notices your product and doesn't exactly say positive things about it like Mike Z, but he didn't mean to insult you personally unless there was somewhere in his critique of the prototype where he called you garbage or told you to stop developing games that i'm not aware of then you shouldn't have gotten so upset. It seems that you had forgotten the point of criticism is to point out the negative things in a product so that you can improve it, good things have to come those that listened to criticism, but it seems like you didn't understand this.

PDD
Not only did you just contradict yourself when you said in this message that the person who was saying bad things about you was a harasser, but in the header you called them a simple critic. Harassment is an awful thing to receive but two wrongs do not make a right. There comes a time in everyone's lives where they let their anger get the best of them and they want revenge, but it just falls flat, it seems that this was your time to learn that. While it is good that in the end you did indeed condemn the harassment it didn't give your fans the right to harass them back, even if they were actually toxic and not just criticizing you for a period of time.

PDD
For point 1, you might fix complaints that people have about the game, but those are usually smaller things, the main problem with the game's design that I hear people talking about is that it has become too focused on features and they make the game unnecessarily difficult and just ends up delaying the rivals and other main features of the game that have yet to be implemented. There also screenshots of fans asking you certain questions and you replying in an angry and upset manner or flat out blocking them, contradicting point 2. Point 3 is the reason you should be seeking more help with the game, combined with your laziness on its development. Point 4 is likely you making lots of money off of the Patreon but not appearing to spend it on the game's development and a very small amount of work done for 6 years, this is why people are donating to you, so that you can use that money to finish the game and cover any other possible expenses for you as you have no actual job. If you are talking about certain YouTubers in point 5, their job is simply to inform, it is not up to them to change the opinions of their viewers, most also tell their fans to not attack the people that they talk about, which should even include you.

PDD
Yes, you did. The tinybuild programmer was given the tasks of moving the code from JavaScript to C# and upgrading from Unity 4 to 5 to help fix the game's major bugs and improving the optimization. You were simply too impatient to wait for them to finish their job and you didn't understand the code as I assume that it wouldn't be filled with else if statements and other things, you could have simply asked for them to explain the code to you and help you improve at coding in C#. I would be sure that if you had announced you wouldn't be able to release any new builds during that time if it meant improving the base game significantly, fans would have been fine. I know you were also eager about getting the game unbanned from twitch, but there are some things that just can't be done, especially when the game involves high school students being murdered, torture, etc.

PDD
Suicide can be a touchy and very stressful thing to talk about which I won't fault you for, but if you just told me that you were aware of suicide being discussed you shouldn't have worried so much about your reputation as it could have showed people that you actually care. Don't let people like that get to you.

PDD
I don't have very much to say here other than you shouldn't worry about internet trolls going after the people that they credit, if they want to receive credit for being a volunteer then add their names, if they don't then you should listen to them and not. If they say nothing you should still do it anyways as it's the proper thing to do.

PDD
I agree with your last statement, but with a person like you who has gained so much internet attention you could mistake something like a meme that is about you as abusive and your general inability to take criticism may also play part in this as you could be deleting comments that may be criticism.

PDD
It could be true that are servers that plan to do malicious things to you like the Discord speedrun trend but there are screenshots of fans simply asking you certain questions, mistaking them for trolls and then blocking them.

PDD
“I am Your Slave”. Look it up. That's all the proof you need.

PDD
If you are saying that the point of the video was to inform people about your “position” and that this girl is shown going through horrible events, then yes, this girl was indeed meant to embody yourself.

PDD
Again, the people that stalk/dox/harass people like you are simply the vocal minority of trolls in a critic base. This video that you made was essentially troll feeding.

PDD
While I'm not going to say that you did you seem to have a large knowledge about the types of emails that you were receiving and instead of simply ignoring those and focusing only on the emails that you receive from volunteers and similar things, it shouldn't have been a problem and you could have simply blocked the problematic email addresses. Not to mention that proper emails are important for feedback on the game, so when you told people to stop sending emails it could have helped slow down feedback and bug reports from fans.

PDD
You used to make about $5,000 on your Patreon but after the infamous Hate and Shame video donations began to go down, now only about $2,000. I understand that working on a game alone can be hard, but that is why you should still have help with the game, like the tinybuild programmer that you ended your partnership with. Game development can also be a stressful job but you are mistaking memes and parodies as harassment, the YouTubers that talk about you also don't mean to ruin your reputation but simply to criticize your decisions and progress on the game, as well as any actual behavior that you may show, blocking the actual trolls and harassers that aren't simply critics can also be done with the push of a button.

PDD
Yes, you do. The people who have shown the frame rate are not playing the Unity editor as only you can make changes to the game, they are playing exported builds of the game with various hardware. Since the game's code is filled with update statements and causes too many things in the game to run at once it does more than it can handle and the game starts to turn into a slideshow as a result.

PDD
If all you are doing is asking them for suggestions then that is not exactly assistance as it would be direct touching of the files to make changes or add new things, what you are doing is simply asking for tips as you add things yourself. And again, you parted ways with the tinybuild programmer who was going to help you improve the code.

PDD
You usually block people who post memes about you, memes are not meant to offensive or to attack someone, they are simply meant to be humorous. I will admit that it can be overwhelming at first but its not really as bad as you think. Even if there are actual trolls that post offensive things then you should indeed ban them and delete the image, but for the most part it is something that can easily be ignored, doing so will also feed the people who simply want to get a reaction out of you if it is harmless.

PDD
It doesn't matter what the context of it was, telling someone to kill themselves is very unethical and it is actually illegal to do so. You are basically ruining your own reputation when you did that and according to the person them self the only reason that you said that was because they asked why you only respond to certain people.

PDD
Yes, you did. Even if Corona-chan is or isn't seen as racist depending on your point of view it was still a very poorly timed and tasteless thing to add to the game given the we are still in the middle of the pandemic prior to her being added to the game and hundreds of thousands of people have already died from the virus. Even games made before this pandemic used the word as either "checkpoint" (San Andreas) or a level for a Mountain (Super Mario Sunshine). Sure, those names haven't aged well, but at least they didn't mock the existence of a SARS virus.

PDD
Yes it has. You can find videos of the game's atrocious code everywhere on YouTube and there files of it everywhere on sites like Github. You're not hiding anything. I also doubt that the game's code will be different because the last 6 years will have been pointless as you will just spend even longer replacing everything just to fix the optimization and other things.

PDD
I get it, you make tons of money off of Patreon every month and it can be tempting to buy yourself something nice. But people have noted that some of the purchases that you make with your money is "stupid", like you buying another Nintendo Switch just for another save file in Animal Crossing New Horizons because you didn't like your island, when you could have just deleted your old one. In addition, electronics like the Switch are not cheap purchases, they cost hundreds of dollars. Maybe if you spent less on personal things or bought cheaper things and showed more of that money going towards the game people wouldn't be so upset.

PDD
Yes, you do. the leaked email was shown that you lied about many aspects of your partnership with them, up until the point where you terminated the contract yourself and not in agreement with them. Also, you do in fact owe them money. $31,000 if I'm correct.

PDD
Lovesick isn't supposed to be a recreation of Yandere Simulator, it is a fangame that shares many similar elements and mechanics to it like rivals, eliminations and a school setting. It shares very similar visuals like the protagonist's character model but that wasn't even yours to begin with, also anyone can actually buy the Aoi character pack because it's on the store and available to the public, therefore you have no legal right to go after the developer of the game for the pre made ones. However, you are right that the original assets in the game shouldn't be stolen and should be made from scratch. The game also has its first rival after only 2 weeks in development while it took you 6 years to do so, so you are wrong on that. (Also, I seriously can not believe that you are still denying that many assets in your game are not original.)

PDD
It could be implied from this post that if the cost of Yandere Simulator could mean ending someone's life, and you also said that you'd cancel development, it can be concluded that you had tried to guilt trip the other developer with suicide stunt just so they would cancel their game. You are clearly just jealous that someone is taking your popularity away from you because they care more about their game than you care about yours. You have been making Yandere Simulator for 6 years and only one rival is made and not even completely finished while Lovesick had only been in development for 2 weeks and the first rival was already done. I'd also like to add that suicide is much easier said than done. If you can't guarantee a promise, then don't make one is what I say.

PDD
I get that it could have been a misunderstanding but you didn't even show proof of this "false statement" that was made in your Discord. It could have helped clear up your case better other than simply saying someone was lying about you, if not then more people would have believed that you were responding to the user in the screenshot instead of the statement that was cropped out. In addition, you aren't the best at handling criticism towards the game.

PDD
The best for last. Well, guess what? If you could take criticism...you wouldn't have made this debunk page.
