Sometimes, when I ask a voice actor to read a character's lines, I record myself reading those lines so that the voice actor understands what kind of tone/attitude/personality the character is meant to have. Here's an example of what that sounds like!
I'm not a voice actor, so my performance here isn't ultra-impressive. However, I do think that it sufficiently communicated how I imagine t...

Hello! One of Yandere Simulator's modelers independently came up with a fascinating idea, and began creating assets for it: During each "Senpai meets the next rival" cutscene, Senpai will wear an article of clothing that somehow references the previous rival. For example...
In the "Senpai meets Amai" cutscene, Senpai is sad about Osana exiting his life (lethally or non-lethally), so he mi...

Hi!
A stage play will take place in the school gym during Kizana's week. While testing and reviewing new assets created for the play, I frequently ran into problems due to the limited amount of space in the gym stage area. The walkway was too low, and the curtains were taking up too much space. It severely limited the way that I could position backdrops and props on the stage. Also, the w...

Here's a small preview of some models that will be added to the game in the future!
The portly gentleman above will be featured in Kizana's Befriend/Betray elimination method. If you're familiar with the Characters page of the official Yandere Simulator website, you can probably recognize him. The environment of Kizana's B/B stealth mission is likely to be quite obvious at this point, bu...
The two characters featured above are going to appear in Kizana's Befriend/Betray stealth mission!
If they look familiar to you, it's because you've probably seen them before - they're both featured on the Characters page of the official website! (By reading their profile, you'll probably be able to figure out where Kizana's stealth mission is going to take place...)

2024-06-15 04:47:54 +0000 UTC View PostSince 2014, I've uploaded over 180 videos to YouTube! There were a few occasions when I started making a video, realized it wasn't as entertaining as I thought it would be, and scrapped the idea. However, there may be a possibility that some of these "scrapped video ideas" could be of interest to you, so I might occasionally share clips from them here on Patreon. That's what I'll be doing today...
2024-06-09 06:08:46 +0000 UTC View PostHi! I'm going to try something new today. I'll be posting a preview of upcoming content, except you'll get a different preview depending on your Patreon tier.

There might be people who are interested in learning about things like this, so I've decided to share a short video clip with you!
Kizana's week will involve a school play. A bunch of backdrop models have been created for the play. One of those backdrops is meant to have a balcony for Kizana to stand on.
I can't simply tell a modeler "Make a me a balcony" and instantly receive a p...
The latest feature that I've added to the game is the ability to walk around the protagonist's house! You can read all about it - and watch a video about it - in my most recent blog post.
But - although I am extremely grateful to the volunteer who modeled the ho...
2024-04-15 07:41:12 +0000 UTC View PostI have good news! All of Amai's "Senpai Interaction Events" are now in the game! These events make up a large chunk of the total amount of content in Amai's week, so this is a pretty big milestone!
(I'd say that 33% of a rival's content is her Befriend/Betray storyline and stealth mission, 33% are her Senpai Interaction Events and confession, and the other 33% are all of the other miscel...
Amai's Befriend/Betray elimination method is 100% finished! No further work needs to be done on it.
The Befriend/Betray elimination method is one of the most elaborate elimination methods, requiring more assets, time, and work than almost anything else in the rival's week, with the exception of the 15+ Senpai interaction events.
The Befriend/Betray content that is now fully function...

I'm really proud of the progress that I've made on Amai's Befriend/Betray stealth mission, and I'd love to show off everything I've done so far! However, I feel like players would have more fun experiencing all of that new content firsthand, rather than having it spoiled through screenshots and video clips several weeks before it's released.
This puts me in a tricky position, because I'd ...
2024-03-01 09:56:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello! I'd like to give you a brief progress report on how my work on Amai is coming along.
I'm really excited about Amai's Befriend/Betray elimination! So, over the last two weeks, that's what I've been focusing on the most. To be more specific: recently, I've been spending a lot of time building the environment for her...
2024-02-15 08:15:55 +0000 UTC View PostPlease allow me to quote a paragraph from one of my recent Patreon posts:
"The fun of a stealth game is figuring out how to get from point A to point B without getting spotted. I believe that the more options the player has for getting from point A to point B, the better. In the case of Amai's stealth mission, there will be 4 separate ways to enter the bakery... 2024-02-01 08:24:50 +0000 UTC View Post

2024-01-15 08:28:55 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Today, I've decided to show rather than tell. This is a 9-minute long video showcasing the progress that I've made with Custom Mode so far.
It would be redundant to list out every feature that is currently functioning, since I already did that in the video above. Instead, I'll just describe what remains to be done, and periodically update this post with checkmarks to denote what wo...

In my previous post, I said that I wouldn't be able to make any definitive statements about the future of the project until I'd had time to evaluate the situation. How many volunteers have departed? How many assets need to be replaced? Et cetera.
Well, it's been two weeks since then. By now, any volunteer that wishes for their assets to be removed from the project has had ample time to re...

A lot of progress has been made on two upcoming rival's Befriend/Betray stealth mission environments. Both of these missions take place in an urban district of Buraza town, so the player is surrounded by streets and buildings...but, what exactly stops the player from simply walking out of the playing area? What structures form the actual borders or "boundaries" of the map?

One of Yandere Simulator's 3D modeling volunteers decided to upgrade the Art Room! I think he did an absolutely fantastic job with it! I'm super grateful to him for taking the time to upgrade this room! What do you think of the new room?
2023-08-20 08:05:28 +0000 UTC View PostThe cutscene where Info-chan informs Ayano of her next rival, Amai, was always one of the lowest-budget, lowest-production-value, lowest-quality cutscenes in the entire game. Take a look at the video above. In the "Behind-The-Scenes" segment, you can see just how little effort went into creating the cutscene; it can barely be described as "animation!"
Fortunately, this lame and low-qualit...
