Honestly the blankest character to me is senpai, I wish there was a back story to him and why each girl started liking him, it would be really interesting and give him much more personality. edit: guys its been three years im well aware why he was bland but my opinion hasnt changed i think he really one dimensional but i also havent kept up so who knows he could have some personality lol
I don't really think there needs to be a backstory to WHY girls like him, it's plain and simple; He's kind, handsome, and just the stereotypical crush...
I thought he would (in the final product ) be a pure, kind, supremely sweet character who is very understanding (that might explain why the protagonist has that need for him) but for why he keeps attracting so many girls? Maybe he's blessed or cursed of having that attraction for that I don't know what would really be the answer for THAT.
Actually, there's a mental illness about this. It's called Adele syndrome. It's not _exactly_ the same but it's very similar. And for Dere Dere, you could say that's she's in love but she doesn't know what love is because she has never felt it before...
okay. so yandere-chan is someone who doesn't have emotions, someone who is blank, empty and has no life. until she met senpai who _"unlocked"_ her emotions and make her feel alive. so she is willing to kill anyone in her way in having him to make her feel alive because _she likes the feeling of being alive?_
@Caiden Leonard Well, I'm not an expert or anything, but I'm sure it's a lot deeper than that. From what I can tell, she needs Senpai. No one else can make her feel like he does. It's not just emotional connections and bonds. It's on a much deeper and sophisticated level than that. He cannot be replaced by anyone because her feelings and what he can unlock in Ayano is something that is unique to him. As Yan Dev mentioned, she needs him more than she needs water, food, or even breathing. So to say that she has an emotional attachment to him is a clear understatement. Just wanted to make something clear, I don't mean to offend. (on a family member's account)
Minty Sprinklezz so right In the world opposites need to exist in order TO exist in the first place It's like saying a coin has only one side and not two or saying there is no such thing as an opposite positive and negative go hand in hand Sorry if I'm being too philosophical
To keep people from complaining, he erased her personality and backstory...and, in the process, created one of the most unique backstories for a protagonist that I have seen in this genre. “I begin with an idea, and then it becomes something else.” - Picasso
@@kurtpalomares8327 If you're still wondering, then she basically has Ayano's early backstory. Unable to feel emotion, she always dreamed the same dream of a mystery man who made her feel complete. One day, she met him... and 10 weeks later, after a trial for murder, she kidnapped him.
And I thought Megami's family poisoned Ayanos's family. Since Megami said through laptop "You only exist to serve a purpose. if it was up to me every last of you would be extermined." So maybe that means they poisoned them, to test it. Another theory is that Fun girl is actually Megami's sister. that she was put into a machine that accidentaly deleted her from the world. Since we know that Megami's father is a scientist, what fun girl said makes a lot of sense. "My father has many inventions, but in my world he had one more invention. My sister will never know that she had a sister." And another theory is that Info chan is Journalist's daughter. sorry for my bad grammar.
I always just assumed that, in its true psychology terms, Yandere-chan was a psychopath. They don't feel emotion, but can develop obsessions. Getting it passed down from Yandere-chan's mom wouldn't be implausible, because all psychopaths, narcissists, and sociopaths pass down a gene called the "warrior gene", and it is passed to all offspring of psychopaths, narcissists, and sociopaths. It doesn't guarantee that the child will turn out like their parent(s), but tendencies will be there, even if the child isn't one themselves. This would explain it being handed down from Yandere-chan's mom, to Yandere-chan. I don't know, it's just a theory I guess.
applecat 84amv same here! A psychopath is what yandere has always been, I don't see her as a complete blank slate, but as a mentally ill person, kinda. And yes, all of those traits are what make up a psychopath's mind
I think it was actually true for Schizophrenic, there was a study that it was proven that this mental disorder is connected biologically so....there was a possibility of her being a Psychopath now, if it goes on she will eventually be schizophrenic. OH that has given me an idea!! I think It would really be cool when Yan-chan has a very low sanity mode there would be voices in her head and illusions O.O and then she can try to kill those hallucinations but of course they can't be killed since they aren't real so they will just disappear.
Even though there are some people who shut down your ideas and stories yanderedev, the group that support you is stronger! Those are your real fans! WE LOVE YOU YANDEREDEV!!!
Yandere Dev should be proud of how far this game has come, I don't want him to stress about what is to come of the game in the future. Yandere Dev we all love and appreciate you!!
I feel like Ayano is a great character to play seeing as how she is a blank slate and is a reflection of oneself. If she is a reflection of oneself, I definitely would be more interested if she develop hobbies or interests based on a player's choice while still having the feeling or craving for Senpai. Senpai is in a way the reason for her change as her backstory presents. She pretends to be normal for her dad to be happy and she does it again the second time for her dad. What if this time when she tries to act normal for Senpai as she did before with for her dad, she actually becomes and experience normal life with real emotions. Yes, its smart to consider making other character more interesting for her lack of being interesting but she is still a main part of the game such as a player is taking into consideration when a game is developed. This game, once finished, will be a major accomplishment and I would happily be patient enough for further changes. I also understand the people's need for wanting more considering the game thus far but is it also important to consider the game and its developers hard work and dedication so far. That is why I will gladly and patiently wait for a game such as this.
Raleti 9 He's trying to make a game that will sell in the end, if you want to make games that are good you need constructive criticism. It may be 'his game to shape' but you can't have a good game that people want to play if it's all that the creator wants and none of what the people want. In simpler terms. No one wanted it there.
What he means by constant complaints is that a good portion of the fanbase he first built for this game started with places like 4chan and later 8chan, message boards of notorious contraniasm. You'll have one person make a legitimately good post with good constructive criticism or ideas and the very next post after it is "get fucked, fag" with a picture of Yan-chan being skullfucked or some other nasty shit. As the dev got a bigger fanbase and more attention, the 4/8chan crowd turned on him pretty quickly and called him a sellout for asinine reasons. You can only take that shit so much before you write them off as a bunch of NEETs who don't know what the fuck they want.
I don't care what he does to the game I will like it either way unless like he adds poneys and unicorns or something like that then I wouldn't play it or even want to watch it from how sickening sorry not a big fan of girly things but you do have a point
"Yandere-chan is a reflection of you and your choices. The only thing that all versions of Yandere-chan have in common is that they have the potential to do incredibly cruel things." Sounds like a thing all humans have in common :)
I think Yandere-chan is cool now, but wouldn't it be a good idea that she acts sweet/nice/something like that, because she doesn't want to look "weird" (she is still emotionless). (I actually like her this way, but I'm just trying to help u lol)
Maniac KU Im kind of disappointed Yand-dev didnt implemented this in the game,but imagine one day your secret crush starts dating a girl (lets say midori).Imagine that you find out that your FRIEND (Yand-chan) stabbed you in the back (not literally...YET) playing cupid with your crush and Midori...wouldnt you be sad when that happens ? Would you still be friends with the girl who did this to you ? What if this happens to a girl who already is depressed ? I think the results could be TRAGIC
Yandere Dev: (16/6/2017) I wasn't trying to create a masterpiece. me: (16/4/2018) welp. Too bad Yandere Dev, not near complete and here you are, a masterpiece in the making.
"Yandere-Chan is a reflection of you." *Just got done killing all of the students in the school (Kokona in the most violent ways I could think of) and killing senpai just for the heck of it* Haha... okay then.
The generic socially awkward protagonist who catches the eye of every girl,even though he would be too timid and embarrassed to ask them out personally.
it would be cool if normally the game is less saturated. Instead of when yandere chan walks into senpais aura and it turns pink, the game would actually become more saturated. i.e. yandere chan is starting to feel warmth, light, and emotion, like yandere dev said. it would also be cool if this emotion would gradually fade away the longer yandere chan is outside of his aura, which causes her to become more insane and more sloppy, thus making the game harder. it would also make sense because yandere chan will be forced to "stalk" senpai in order to remain sane.
You could have the colors slightly over-saturated and have added nature/background sound effects when Senpai is around, and once you are away from him for a few hours, color and sound slowly start go become weaker, with Yandere-chan speaking to herself yearning for him. Doing that for the first time right at the start of the game, this could be an introduction to that mechanic. Once a full day or weekend has passed without seeing him, the color saturation could become very bleak with Yandere-chan getting more sloppy in her actions to emphasize what the "withdrawal" does to her. That could be used as some sort of hard mode for the game
cedeelbe true.... but the perverted adult rivals are on my kill list. I don't care how likable you make them Senpai is a student. Same goes for the tusndere character ..... I find that character type just annoying and never found that personality charming and wondered why a guy would want to hang out with someone like that.
ItsMeYoyo fact the substitute teacher wouldn't work if it's a Japanese it would go angaist the Japan and it would be like a normal school in USA Australia and England it should be like the a teacher just checking in but in a different class
Okay, so... I have an idea. What if Yandere will - after commiting murder - meet senpai, it should affect her. If she will have bloody clothes etc., she will find out, how terrible the act was? Becouse, If she feel emotions near him, she should know this.
@Sonia Escalada basically - since YanChan gains emotions once she is near Senpai, shouldn't her main objective also be to not come close to senpai for some time after comitting a crime or with some evidence on her (like a knife in her inventory or bloody clothes). Since she gains emotions near him, shouldn't she become aware that what she did was horrible and disgusting and thus fail the game? It is a much better solution to making the game harder than having immortal besties of rivals.
To be honest, I don't think it is too late to change Yandere-chan's personality. I think it will be a bit strange at first, but that is only because we have grown accustomed to her current personality. Kind of like when your bedroom has stayed a color for so long and then you decide to repaint the room a different color. It will be a bit strange at first, but after a little while you will get used to it.
Personally, i'm thinking how it would be with TWO Yandere-chan, one with a deeper character, one with none. It could be interesting, it would be slightly different to play either, but they would also end up becoming the nemesis of each other, more or less.
Hmm mm or maybe there was two stories later on, you can play the Yandere-chan with no emotions and later on you can play the other story of the Yandere-chan that has a deeper character or the other way around
Hyper Blossom/Rising Bullet Yes that is true.... Maybe later on in the game development, only when the main story is completed kind of like with dating simulators (a friend of mine plays them quite often and she talks about them to me) It will start off with like 3 main routes, aka the characters the developers think will be the most popular, then they continue to fix bugs and things like that while working on the rest of the routes, even adding new people in.
Klistal Yumi or when you decide to change you background or profile picture, or when you dye your hair a different colour, you get use to the old one and when you get the new it takes time!
Yuuki Kuran Yes those are good comparisons as well!! Actually a couple days ago I dyed my hair a hot pink and I'm still trying to get used to it! I'm pretty used to it by now but when I'm I'm public I keep on wondering why people keep star in at me..... then I remember my hair is pink....
Lily Emerald I was just kidding. I love the game even if Yandere Dev doesn't have a functioning background story for Yandere-chan. Why are you taking this so seriously? Instead of getting mad at me for making a joke, support yan-dev and give him *your* ideas if it matters so much. EDIT: btw if you read the thread, one person said people fall in love easily and that's how they are, if anything the joke was and inside joke for the game, my best friend and me.
I like the idea of a “craving” for happiness, but I’m also completely fine with her emotionless-ness. Ayano is one of those characters that I’d always play as without customizing (which I do a lot in other games) because she’s, to me, deep. She’s not shallow at all, because she’s interesting even if others think she’s rather blank. Looking forward to the updates!
I think it would be fun if the rivals have likeable personalities with flaws and virtues. Then as a player, I would have the challenge of deciding /how/ to deal with the character. Killing is easy if you don't like the rival at all. But if you have conflicted thoughts about the character, you'll put more thought into your planning and be more creative in your way of removal.
Lathy Loon what would be super cool is if you play in a way such as kill and murder people so on so on, you become what yandere is or worse, however if you play in a way that eliminates a rival in such as a peaceful way possibly making a friend you learn and feel emotions and become more like a person and such rather than this husk, that's what I thought would be cool
Soufriere yeah, actually that was what I was thinking about as I commented. If it's supposed supposed to be difficult to kill these girls, and we're supposed to empathize with them, then they should be fully fleshed out, rather than tropes or caricatures that can be easily checked off a list.
(Please Read This Yandere Dev, I think it could actually help with this) I'm going to speak from the mind of an aspiring author, the characters I love the most in your games are the ones with more personality and most likely a backstory that explains it, like Oka Ruto and how the way she acts and the fact that she wears something that covers her arms/wrists unlike almost every other character makes me think "She must be bullied a lot and depressed." or how when I see how Osoro Shidesu acts I think "I bet she's abused, maybe Taro found out and is helping her with it and that's why she loves him." I think of Ayano as a Kizami Yuuya from Corpse party combined with Josh from Until Dawn sort of character, someone who has a bad childhood or mental illness or both that causes them to act out and be this way, but it isn't their fault, they either aren't being properly medicated or treated for the illness or trauma which leads to them being off their leash and dangerous, but not of their own accord. You don't want your protagonist to be a blank slate, you want there to be something abotu her that makes people like or dislike her, like if you play the game one way she turns into the monster that she's been portrayed as so far and if she goes the peaceful root like befriending or matchmaking all her rivals she becomes a good character, a girl that just wants somebody to love her. A good way to actually show this would be if you took a glance over at Koumi, the person who made the Male!Rival characters. Something like 'The Pacifist ending' where this lonely and sad girl finds herself having not only Taro, but all the other rivals as her friends and she finally, finally feels love and companionship she had been missing her whole life. You could even factor her parents into it, like the ending where she's a monster her mother congratulates her and her father feels depressed because his daughter became a monster like her mother or on the other side of the coin her father says stuff like 'I'm so proud of you' and her mother is disappointing because she didn't follow in her footsteps. There is SO MUCH you could do with Ayano, don't waste the opportunity to make an amazing multi-layered character because you think that people won't like it because no matter what you do someone won't like it, it's just the way the world works.
I think it would be interesting if her emotions could develop differently depending on how you play the game. Using harmful tactics would cause her to develop toxically, going for a "good" ending would cause her to heal emotionally. It'd be a sort of progression, and each rival would help her feel a new thing, depending on how she deals with them. One example would be with the teacher rival. She wouldn't be portrayed as a teenage boy's fantasy, instead she'd be seen as a coercive sex offender that mae senpai increasingly imconfortable. Depending on how the game has been played up until that point, Ayano would either see her as just another rival, or her emotions would develop into empathy. She'd see senpai's discomfort, and get protective. The main elimiation methods for her would be killing (objectively bad) finding a suitor (i.e. a different victim for the teacher) or getting her arrested (proper justice). Another idea I like is the delinquent rival merely using senpai as an emotional crutch. I'd imagine she comes from a wealthier family, but is badly abused, and maybe lost her father, hence the need for a positive male figure in her life. Having variation for the type of affection each rival has for senpai will make the game much deeper. Eventually, depending on how the game has progressed, Ayano could keep past rivals as friends, and almost start to care about them. One hypothetical scene I've thought of for a "good route" would be Ayano at home just watching a comedy show and suddenly, after a certain bit, starts laughing. Genuine laughter. She got the joke, She laughs until hurts, and she just keeps replaying the bit the whole night, awestruck at this new development. This game has a huge amount of potential to have some amazing characters and character development. Eventually, she'd go from obsessed, to truly in love.
If Yan~Chan feels emotion around Senpai, how can she not feel grief or shame about killing and ruining lives? I get that she would do anything for Senpai, but if she feels regular emotions around him, such as at school, how is she not fazed by cruel doings. (BTW: I think the "something is missing" story is better than the "emotionless" story for Yan~Chan. )
she is in love with the feeling, not really senpai. also! she doesn’t really feel emotions when she’s not around senpai, not to mention she despises her rivals.
I'm Torn. Personally, I love Ayano Aishi, aside from the fact that her default look is incredibly cute, she has an an amazing voice actress and a totally awesome family history. As she stands, she's a lot like Red from the original Pokemon games. Yes, she's a blank slate, but the characters around her ensure that the story and environments are the focal point of the game. That said, this is based off of Anime, not other Video Games... and so the blank slate arch-type, to me, seems less fitting. Don't get me wrong, she's awesome as is... but I love the idea of her having a more developed character... perhaps growing to enjoy the hobbies she undertakes, which the player could choose. This would allow the player to maintain control while giving a unique story to each player. But, that's just my two cents. Either way, the game is amazing, the characters kick ass... and the gameplay is masterful. Keep up the good work man, we're with you whatever you decide!
Shaynalynn Day although i agree that Yandere Dev should do what flows in his mind, Yandere Dev wants his audience/players to enjoy his gameplay. It wouldn't be fun having certain things in the game that a portion (if not more) of the Yandere Simulator/Lovestruck fans would dislike. It would make him work even more than he already does. But yeah 🤗
Belle Angeli Bonifacio I like your idea of Mind most people would say that I am stupid or that this is no help I like your mind float keep at it you seem like a good person.😊
1. PLEEEEEASE do not change Ayano!!!!! 2. I LOVE the idea for the sassy but classy and creative+original Kizana!! Keep up the great work on this amazing game
I think it's important to develop the characters as well as their backstories. I think it'll make the game even more interesting, and thus have more of a replayable value (_Last of Us_ , _Mass Effect_ , _Fall Out_ , etc.). I always see video games as "interactive stories"; things that you can't replicate in either film nor literature. Expanding on Yandere-chan's backstory is a great step in the right direction because it can create, not only sympathy for the character, but also a sense of understanding (i.e. _Dexter_). You can add a layer of ambiguity, but it's also important to put hints/visual references to past events within the game itself: giving it more of a "Show, Don't Tell" approach. Or maybe go for _The Killing Joke_ approach where Yandere-chan's backstories can be multiple choice. Either way, I think the game gets better every time you update it. I'm looking forward to see what you'll come up with.
Senpai is a very regular guy, someone you'd never except to be a 'love interest', but it is possible that he could make people feel love they've never felt. He did somehow get Ayano to feel love for the first time
I honestly don't like senpai's design. I honestly can't see how 11+ girls could call head over heels in love.Ayano had never felt love in her life, so it was much sweeter than normal.
I really like the idea that Kizana values creativity and wants Kokona to change her hairstyle because of that. By doing that, Kizana would originally seem snobby and arrogant on the surface but once you get to know her, becomes a more likeable and respectable character.
I think giving her emotions but making her feel like she's missing something is the best option. As the protaganist, it will make it easier for people to empathize with her, and like her as a character.
This is what i commented a while ago: I think it would be best to keep the characters more simple and the story more complex. I think giving yandere-chan too much emotion would make her just too middle of the road. what you have created now sets a stark contrast with the rest of the characters. It makes it that by default nobody can really understand her, by giving her emotions it would make her actions more justifiable. Her emotionlessness makes her stand out as a character, giving her emotions would make her feel more like somebody as Osana, non socially acceptable ways, but justifiable by the means. Make Yandere somebody who nobody can justify, as somebody who would go any length, but indeed let the player choose that very length. I understand that to many people having a character with more emotions makes the character more pleasing (for ships or whatever) But as a game designed to work out a tv trope to something more, it is best to keep the characters very basic cliche's, but make them more likeable via backstories or have them have more than just their surface. Same with Kizana, snooty is a nice cliche to start out with, how about you make her unlikeble on the surface, but somebody who just values creativity underneath?
You can have an emotionally void character that still has depth and be empathized with. Early season Dexter is a prime example. I think Yanderechan is more interesting as a schizoid sociopath.
how about she develops personality over what actions you take? if she silently picks them off one by one, then she becomes cunning and secretive, but other wize normal, and if she does it without bloodshed, shes simple, and very protective of what the other students think of her, because then senpai may not like her.
I like that! But yeah, it sounds so hard to make... Like they have to write a lot of route for it. But then again maybe we can have more than one ending?
Suggestion: There’s something called “Alexithymia” which makes it hard to have emotions making it seem they don’t have any emotion. If you want to make Ayano to have no emotion, give them Alexithymia to make it seem sense
I loved your ideas Dev, the yandere's being a person looking for something in your life I super support! And I loved the idea that Kizana could be sweet after all, it's going to make people like her more and so hard to kill someone so incredible! I love your work and I support your new ideas. I hope that the others too.
I think you should give her your backstory. Right now, its hard to connect or sympathise with her as a character. I myself, would love a backstory, it adds to another dimension to the game; makes it just that little bit deeper.
Emily Ritson me too. i feel that even though yan-chan may kill people, she needs a backstory so she would have a backbone and that would lead to a more interesting and (maybe) in depth game
Yan-Dev, I love almost all of your ideas. You're a charming person, and many of your ideas shine. I look up to you in that same aspect. I think that Kizana should be a snobby brat, because then you can reflect on how Senpai doesn't judge someone on their cover, then you can have him dig down into Kizana, and find out that she could be "sassy but classy" if helped. Love your progress, Yan-Dev. Keep it up!
Sociopath would be a better description for Yandere-chan. Sociopath: no feelings, cold and calculating, think logically and usually have set goals and maybe a moral compass(though very, very different from the average person's). Psychopath: no moral compass, no conscience, and performs morally wrong acts on a whim(sometimes).
Someone You Don't Know No, the difference is in whether or not they have a conscience. Sociopaths do, even if at a lower level than the regular population. Psychopaths have NONE. She seems to have just enough of a conscience as she avoids killing Senpai and those who don't stand in her way.
Well, I like the idea of giving Yandere chan a background to give some deep to her character. However if you don't want to change her emotionless persona, you don't have to. You can give depth to her character by using it as a plot device. She can be a deep character, without the need to add emotions into the mix. You can have her slowly developing them, depending on the player choices. And show this development through cut scenes… at the end of each week, for the sake of giving them a timeline. For example, if the player chose to embark on a genuinely nice path (not dripping any blood and going out of their way to be kind) she can start developing positive emotions. Like laughing suddenly at a tv show late at night, because she got the joke. She would keep replaying the moment, and laugh until she cries of joy. The new and overwhelming feelings of happiness, that was foreign to her before, she is experiencing it now. This could even make her gain something she didn't even knew existed… hope. This pacific Yan chan has the potential to grow to be a kind character, who genuinely but unknowingly cares about others. Deeply so. On the opposite side of the coin, if the player is a shameless murderer, Yan chan will retrieve herself further in her insanity. The emotions that senpai makes her feel could grow dull over time, until they are meaningless. And so, once again, she feels nothing at all. Nothing, but bloodlust that is. Since killing became such a daily task that she no longer cares for senpai, but for the adrenaline product of the killing sprees she goes unto "for his sake". Or, seen through a different perspective. Her obsession could grow, and grow, until she falls unto full insanity. Becoming worse that her mother. Dunno, just throwing ideas unto the air. About Kizana though… yeah, she doesn't have to be a total snob, but she's supposed to be a himedere, right? So, not so likable either.
WhiteNya 471 I love your idea. Letting the player decide how her emotions grow or not is genius! I hope Yandere Dev takes your idea into consideration, but I'm not the developer, so I can't make him put it in the game. I really hope that Yandere Dev sees your comment and at least thinks about it, because I think that your idea would improve gameplay a great deal.
This isn't really a good idea. I also think there should be different endings based on how you play but not like this. This kind of thing just really bothers me because it is so naive - if the character is a killer they can't feel positive emotions, have no interests besides killing and are nothing more than an evil demon who just wants to ruin everyone's life, while if they reach their goals in a peaceful way they suddenly become a good and kind perfect angel, even if they have selfish motives like Ayano, because "friendship and kindness solves everything". It doesn't matter whether Ayano is sadistic, manipulative, violent or non-violent, she is a selfish character and she needs to stay that way. If she wasn't she wouldn't be trying this hard to get a boy to love her. A "normal" person just wouldn't do that. Ayano is selfish and, more or less, crazy and I think it would be best if she stayed that way in every ending, even if the rest of her personality depends on the way you play.
If Yandere-chan could develop feelings just on her own the question comes up why she would even need senpai at all and also why didn't that happen before.
I like it. I like how the developer cared for the people playing,and I like how he made the character very flexible to design and create. It also made me really think about the definition of yandere which I never really thought into much at first.
I like this idea too ^^ btw when I heard that she will maybe use some foreign words I immediately thought that she is perfect match for Shuu Tsukiyama from Tokyo Ghoul xDD
Unique TheGamer i think she is more psychopath than sociopath because sociopaths are like that because of a tragic childhood and psychopaths born like that for a genetic reason. Yandere-chan have always be like that and her mother was like that too so she is more psychopath than sociopath 😋
What happens if yandere chan eliminated all of her rivals, and then she confesses to senpai and he's like "Oh! I'm sorry yandere chan, but I'm gay". Biggest plot twist ever!
amany dental After that... she kills him and goes on a killing spree and ends up finding another boy and obsessed over him and kill other rivals, etc. ( and ties him to a chair forcing him to marry her)
Nah you got to find a quite place to read, with a progress bar and everything. But with all the women chasing after you it's lucky if you can ever get a moment alone.
Having likable rivals would kinda make sense in the fashion that they WOULD ask out senpai on Friday. If they weren't a very likable character, I get the feeling that even if the tree is "blessed" that your crush will always say yes that senpai would say no. Therefore, the character wouldn't really be a rival if senpai would say no to them on a logical level rather than "I need a unique opponent." becoming the basis for the character's personality.
14:28 Wtf even on low brightness the glitchy fun girl in the empty space still creeped me out. For writing this YEARS later, I'm looking forward to the characters story for them all!
I have an idea. What if you did both? Sounds confusing right? Let me explain. The start of the game,you will get no story,and as you progress, depending on your decisions(how you get rid of the competition) you can slowly get a story, if you play nice. And the more you don't kill, the more of a person she would reveal to be. This could also make for creative ways to take out your rivals. Or if you want to be murderous, she will be more of a husk. Or, if you help others with certain tasks, that could also depict her having more of a soul, than a husk. This could also be a good way to add a few fun missions too. Just some random thoughts that I think could be used.
Razz Smurup sounds good (doesn't work?) I realy like this idea. It has a little bit of the dating-sim-route-thing on it. Although I think it would be quite an effort to change the game in such an direction. On the other hand I have no clue about game developement so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That sounds so close to Undertale. You can choose to just kill and finish the game without knowing anything about anyone or you can be more creative and leave them alive but without being an obstacle for your goal. SOUNDS TOO CLOSE. But it´s a nice idea...
I like how Yandere-Chan is a lot like Gordon Freeman, in the sense that the player imprints their own personality onto the character, making the experience of playing the game somewhat unique to each player.
TheFVguy I know that, but they are very similar how that they are as unemotional and blank as possible, letting the player shape the character in their own image.
Jeff The Theorist I actually like to compare Ayano to Junko Enoshima from Danganropa they both have love interest and depending on what you chose to do both are manipulative both have somewhat lovesick personality ecept Junko is more of a yangire and yandere mixture they are comfortable with killing They both lack emotions they both have mysterious backgrounds etc
I think making her an "empty girl" rather than the "emotionless girl" she's been up until now, is a natural progression of her character. I think this is a very good idea.
I think the game would be a really awesome anime.

Honestly the blankest character to me is senpai, I wish there was a back story to him and why each girl started liking him, it would be really interesting and give him much more personality.
edit: guys its been three years im well aware why he was bland but my opinion hasnt changed i think he really one dimensional but i also havent kept up so who knows he could have some personality lol
Sinnahmon
I’m sure Yandere dev will add this later in the game
Sinnahmon the girls like him because of him duh
Yeah so right
I don't really think there needs to be a backstory to WHY girls like him, it's plain and simple; He's kind, handsome, and just the stereotypical crush...
I thought he would (in the final product ) be a pure, kind, supremely sweet character who is very understanding (that might explain why the protagonist has that need for him) but for why he keeps attracting so many girls? Maybe he's blessed or cursed of having that attraction for that I don't know what would really be the answer for THAT.

okay. so yandere-chan is someone who doesn't have emotions, someone who is blank, empty and has no life. until she met senpai who _"unlocked"_ her emotions and make her feel alive. so she is willing to kill anyone in her way in having him to make her feel alive because _she likes the feeling of being alive?_
She was drained of emotions from birth so she wants to feel it to reclaim the time she was drained.
Well that's only I'd you kill her rivals
@Caiden Leonard Well, I'm not an expert or anything, but I'm sure it's a lot deeper than that. From what I can tell, she needs Senpai. No one else can make her feel like he does. It's not just emotional connections and bonds. It's on a much deeper and sophisticated level than that. He cannot be replaced by anyone because her feelings and what he can unlock in Ayano is something that is unique to him. As Yan Dev mentioned, she needs him more than she needs water, food, or even breathing. So to say that she has an emotional attachment to him is a clear understatement. Just wanted to make something clear, I don't mean to offend.
(on a family member's account)

@Coldchary she has this sudden obsession that makes her want to be with senpai forever

And I thought Megami's family poisoned Ayanos's family. Since Megami said through laptop "You only exist to serve a purpose. if it was up to me every last of you would be extermined." So maybe that means they poisoned them, to test it.
Another theory is that Fun girl is actually Megami's sister. that she was put into a machine that accidentaly deleted her from the world. Since we know that Megami's father is a scientist, what fun girl said makes a lot of sense. "My father has many inventions, but in my world he had one more invention. My sister will never know that she had a sister."
And another theory is that Info chan is Journalist's daughter.
sorry for my bad grammar.
Light Yagami Easter eggs can have backstories. Take Undertale for example.
Light Yagami Then explain thing she said. Mentioning her sister, father...
I always just assumed that, in its true psychology terms, Yandere-chan was a psychopath. They don't feel emotion, but can develop obsessions. Getting it passed down from Yandere-chan's mom wouldn't be implausible, because all psychopaths, narcissists, and sociopaths pass down a gene called the "warrior gene", and it is passed to all offspring of psychopaths, narcissists, and sociopaths. It doesn't guarantee that the child will turn out like their parent(s), but tendencies will be there, even if the child isn't one themselves. This would explain it being handed down from Yandere-chan's mom, to Yandere-chan. I don't know, it's just a theory I guess.
*A GAME THEORY!*
applecat 84amv same here! A psychopath is what yandere has always been, I don't see her as a complete blank slate, but as a mentally ill person, kinda.
And yes, all of those traits are what make up a psychopath's mind
I think it was actually true for Schizophrenic, there was a study that it was proven that this mental disorder is connected biologically so....there was a possibility of her being a Psychopath now, if it goes on she will eventually be schizophrenic. OH that has given me an idea!! I think It would really be cool when Yan-chan has a very low sanity mode there would be voices in her head and illusions O.O and then she can try to kill those hallucinations but of course they can't be killed since they aren't real so they will just disappear.
At least SOMEONE does their research.

I feel like Ayano is a great character to play seeing as how she is a blank slate and is a reflection of oneself. If she is a reflection of oneself, I definitely would be more interested if she develop hobbies or interests based on a player's choice while still having the feeling or craving for Senpai. Senpai is in a way the reason for her change as her backstory presents. She pretends to be normal for her dad to be happy and she does it again the second time for her dad. What if this time when she tries to act normal for Senpai as she did before with for her dad, she actually becomes and experience normal life with real emotions. Yes, its smart to consider making other character more interesting for her lack of being interesting but she is still a main part of the game such as a player is taking into consideration when a game is developed. This game, once finished, will be a major accomplishment and I would happily be patient enough for further changes. I also understand the people's need for wanting more considering the game thus far but is it also important to consider the game and its developers hard work and dedication so far. That is why I will gladly and patiently wait for a game such as this.
i know I'm late but that's a good idea

He's trying to make a game that will sell in the end, if you want to make games that are good you need constructive criticism.
It may be 'his game to shape' but you can't have a good game that people want to play if it's all that the creator wants and none of what the people want. In simpler terms. No one wanted it there.
What he means by constant complaints is that a good portion of the fanbase he first built for this game started with places like 4chan and later 8chan, message boards of notorious contraniasm. You'll have one person make a legitimately good post with good constructive criticism or ideas and the very next post after it is "get fucked, fag" with a picture of Yan-chan being skullfucked or some other nasty shit. As the dev got a bigger fanbase and more attention, the 4/8chan crowd turned on him pretty quickly and called him a sellout for asinine reasons.
You can only take that shit so much before you write them off as a bunch of NEETs who don't know what the fuck they want.

"Yandere-chan is a reflection of you and your choices. The only thing that all versions of Yandere-chan have in common is that they have the potential to do incredibly cruel things."
Sounds like a thing all humans have in common :)
You know, all humans without morals preventing them from committing terrible cruelties with no remorse or regrets whatsoever, that is.
Thank goodness our players haven't asked us to murder anyone yet, that would be bad.
One that is what games are made forTwo Those people are just sick
I think Yandere-chan is cool now, but wouldn't it be a good idea that she acts sweet/nice/something like that, because she doesn't want to look "weird" (she is still emotionless).
(I actually like her this way, but I'm just trying to help u lol)

Im kind of disappointed Yand-dev didnt implemented this in the game,but imagine one day your secret crush starts dating a girl (lets say midori).Imagine that you find out that your FRIEND (Yand-chan) stabbed you in the back (not literally...YET) playing cupid with your crush and Midori...wouldnt you be sad when that happens ? Would you still be friends with the girl who did this to you ? What if this happens to a girl who already is depressed ? I think the results could be TRAGIC

Why is this comment under appreciated
*y e s*
it would be cool if normally the game is less saturated. Instead of when yandere chan walks into senpais aura and it turns pink, the game would actually become more saturated. i.e. yandere chan is starting to feel warmth, light, and emotion, like yandere dev said. it would also be cool if this emotion would gradually fade away the longer yandere chan is outside of his aura, which causes her to become more insane and more sloppy, thus making the game harder. it would also make sense because yandere chan will be forced to "stalk" senpai in order to remain sane.
Beanie Leung true. I see your point. But I would be hard because yandere chan can't always be around Senpai when it comes to things like murder.
Good idea!?
You could have the colors slightly over-saturated and have added nature/background sound effects when Senpai is around, and once you are away from him for a few hours, color and sound slowly start go become weaker, with Yandere-chan speaking to herself yearning for him. Doing that for the first time right at the start of the game, this could be an introduction to that mechanic.
Once a full day or weekend has passed without seeing him, the color saturation could become very bleak with Yandere-chan getting more sloppy in her actions to emphasize what the "withdrawal" does to her. That could be used as some sort of hard mode for the game
hexkirn did you just rephrase everything i said?
Melzie she wouldnt always have to be around him. the process would be very slow.
I like the idea of making the rivals more likable. It'd add a bit of inner conflict for the player.
i already have that with oka *cries*
cedeelbe true.... but the perverted adult rivals are on my kill list. I don't care how likable you make them Senpai is a student. Same goes for the tusndere character ..... I find that character type just annoying and never found that personality charming and wondered why a guy would want to hang out with someone like that.

I am in support of the idea with the 'craving', and think you should deepen her story.
that does sound like a good idea.
MNCES Ugh Much better than being a simple emotionless girl
I know right!
yandere quite literally means 'madly in love' because take it literally. She went mad. From 'love'.
Okay, so... I have an idea. What if Yandere will - after commiting murder - meet senpai, it should affect her. If she will have bloody clothes etc., she will find out, how terrible the act was? Becouse, If she feel emotions near him, she should know this.
Omg yeah that’ll be great!!!!
@Sonia Escalada basically - since YanChan gains emotions once she is near Senpai, shouldn't her main objective also be to not come close to senpai for some time after comitting a crime or with some evidence on her (like a knife in her inventory or bloody clothes). Since she gains emotions near him, shouldn't she become aware that what she did was horrible and disgusting and thus fail the game? It is a much better solution to making the game harder than having immortal besties of rivals.

To be honest, I don't think it is too late to change Yandere-chan's personality. I think it will be a bit strange at first, but that is only because we have grown accustomed to her current personality. Kind of like when your bedroom has stayed a color for so long and then you decide to repaint the room a different color. It will be a bit strange at first, but after a little while you will get used to it.
Personally, i'm thinking how it would be with TWO Yandere-chan, one with a deeper character, one with none. It could be interesting, it would be slightly different to play either, but they would also end up becoming the nemesis of each other, more or less.
Hmm mm or maybe there was two stories later on, you can play the Yandere-chan with no emotions and later on you can play the other story of the Yandere-chan that has a deeper character or the other way around
Hyper Blossom/Rising Bullet Yes that is true.... Maybe later on in the game development, only when the main story is completed kind of like with dating simulators (a friend of mine plays them quite often and she talks about them to me) It will start off with like 3 main routes, aka the characters the developers think will be the most popular, then they continue to fix bugs and things like that while working on the rest of the routes, even adding new people in.
Klistal Yumi or when you decide to change you background or profile picture, or when you dye your hair a different colour, you get use to the old one and when you get the new it takes time!
Yuuki Kuran Yes those are good comparisons as well!! Actually a couple days ago I dyed my hair a hot pink and I'm still trying to get used to it! I'm pretty used to it by now but when I'm I'm public I keep on wondering why people keep star in at me..... then I remember my hair is pink....

EDIT: btw if you read the thread, one person said people fall in love easily and that's how they are, if anything the joke was and inside joke for the game, my best friend and me.
LMFAOOOOO
I like the idea of a “craving” for happiness, but I’m also completely fine with her emotionless-ness. Ayano is one of those characters that I’d always play as without customizing (which I do a lot in other games) because she’s, to me, deep. She’s not shallow at all, because she’s interesting even if others think she’s rather blank.
Looking forward to the updates!
I think it would be fun if the rivals have likeable personalities with flaws and virtues. Then as a player, I would have the challenge of deciding /how/ to deal with the character. Killing is easy if you don't like the rival at all. But if you have conflicted thoughts about the character, you'll put more thought into your planning and be more creative in your way of removal.
Lathy Loon what would be super cool is if you play in a way such as kill and murder people so on so on, you become what yandere is or worse, however if you play in a way that eliminates a rival in such as a peaceful way possibly making a friend you learn and feel emotions and become more like a person and such rather than this husk, that's what I thought would be cool
Soufriere yeah, actually that was what I was thinking about as I commented. If it's supposed supposed to be difficult to kill these girls, and we're supposed to empathize with them, then they should be fully fleshed out, rather than tropes or caricatures that can be easily checked off a list.
That Would Be Great
True👌👌
so true
(Please Read This Yandere Dev, I think it could actually help with this)
I'm going to speak from the mind of an aspiring author, the characters I love the most in your games are the ones with more personality and most likely a backstory that explains it, like Oka Ruto and how the way she acts and the fact that she wears something that covers her arms/wrists unlike almost every other character makes me think "She must be bullied a lot and depressed." or how when I see how Osoro Shidesu acts I think "I bet she's abused, maybe Taro found out and is helping her with it and that's why she loves him."
I think of Ayano as a Kizami Yuuya from Corpse party combined with Josh from Until Dawn sort of character, someone who has a bad childhood or mental illness or both that causes them to act out and be this way, but it isn't their fault, they either aren't being properly medicated or treated for the illness or trauma which leads to them being off their leash and dangerous, but not of their own accord.
You don't want your protagonist to be a blank slate, you want there to be something abotu her that makes people like or dislike her, like if you play the game one way she turns into the monster that she's been portrayed as so far and if she goes the peaceful root like befriending or matchmaking all her rivals she becomes a good character, a girl that just wants somebody to love her. A good way to actually show this would be if you took a glance over at Koumi, the person who made the Male!Rival characters. Something like 'The Pacifist ending' where this lonely and sad girl finds herself having not only Taro, but all the other rivals as her friends and she finally, finally feels love and companionship she had been missing her whole life. You could even factor her parents into it, like the ending where she's a monster her mother congratulates her and her father feels depressed because his daughter became a monster like her mother or on the other side of the coin her father says stuff like 'I'm so proud of you' and her mother is disappointing because she didn't follow in her footsteps.
There is SO MUCH you could do with Ayano, don't waste the opportunity to make an amazing multi-layered character because you think that people won't like it because no matter what you do someone won't like it, it's just the way the world works.
Turtle Face i love this!!!
I think it would be interesting if her emotions could develop differently depending on how you play the game. Using harmful tactics would cause her to develop toxically, going for a "good" ending would cause her to heal emotionally. It'd be a sort of progression, and each rival would help her feel a new thing, depending on how she deals with them. One example would be with the teacher rival. She wouldn't be portrayed as a teenage boy's fantasy, instead she'd be seen as a coercive sex offender that mae senpai increasingly imconfortable. Depending on how the game has been played up until that point, Ayano would either see her as just another rival, or her emotions would develop into empathy. She'd see senpai's discomfort, and get protective. The main elimiation methods for her would be killing (objectively bad) finding a suitor (i.e. a different victim for the teacher) or getting her arrested (proper justice).
Another idea I like is the delinquent rival merely using senpai as an emotional crutch. I'd imagine she comes from a wealthier family, but is badly abused, and maybe lost her father, hence the need for a positive male figure in her life. Having variation for the type of affection each rival has for senpai will make the game much deeper. Eventually, depending on how the game has progressed, Ayano could keep past rivals as friends, and almost start to care about them. One hypothetical scene I've thought of for a "good route" would be Ayano at home just watching a comedy show and suddenly, after a certain bit, starts laughing. Genuine laughter. She got the joke, She laughs until hurts, and she just keeps replaying the bit the whole night, awestruck at this new development. This game has a huge amount of potential to have some amazing characters and character development. Eventually, she'd go from obsessed, to truly in love.
Turtle Face dang thats a really good idea
Kristen Lander that's a shit load of stuff!

A lot of people is like that
If Yan~Chan feels emotion around Senpai, how can she not feel grief or shame about killing and ruining lives? I get that she would do anything for Senpai, but if she feels regular emotions around him, such as at school, how is she not fazed by cruel doings. (BTW: I think the "something is missing" story is better than the "emotionless" story for Yan~Chan. )
The only emotion she feels is love for senpai, she doesn't feel guilt or remorse. The only feeling that she needs to satisfy is love for senpai.
@@frog6468 , well not love, really, but what she thinks is love
she is in love with the feeling, not really senpai. also! she doesn’t really feel emotions when she’s not around senpai, not to mention she despises her rivals.
She thinks it love but I think it’s lust
She doesn’t Actually Like Senpai, But Likes The Emotions. Senpai Makes Her Feel Emotions.
I'm Torn.
Personally, I love Ayano Aishi, aside from the fact that her default look is incredibly cute, she has an an amazing voice actress and a totally awesome family history. As she stands, she's a lot like Red from the original Pokemon games. Yes, she's a blank slate, but the characters around her ensure that the story and environments are the focal point of the game.
That said, this is based off of Anime, not other Video Games... and so the blank slate arch-type, to me, seems less fitting. Don't get me wrong, she's awesome as is... but I love the idea of her having a more developed character... perhaps growing to enjoy the hobbies she undertakes, which the player could choose. This would allow the player to maintain control while giving a unique story to each player.
But, that's just my two cents. Either way, the game is amazing, the characters kick ass... and the gameplay is masterful. Keep up the good work man, we're with you whatever you decide!
Okay how long did it take to tybe this???????
Who stays to read all of this? ._.
@@pp-wk2kw I’m not defending this dude but it’s literally 3 short paragraphs long.
@@pp-wk2kw me? These sort of paragraphs are a nice read. And gives great insight as to player's views of what Ayano could become.
I really like this new idea of kizana, sassy but classy
Sassy but classy with all that assy
Yeah, I feel like this would make a little deeper, and therefore, more interesting.
it's your game what ever flowes therow your mind is set on to the story! I say that it's an endless world of imagination!
Shaynalynn Day although i agree that Yandere Dev should do what flows in his mind, Yandere Dev wants his audience/players to enjoy his gameplay. It wouldn't be fun having certain things in the game that a portion (if not more) of the Yandere Simulator/Lovestruck fans would dislike. It would make him work even more than he already does.
But yeah 🤗
Belle Angeli Bonifacio I like your idea of Mind most people would say that I am stupid or that this is no help I like your mind float keep at it you seem like a good person.😊

1. PLEEEEEASE do not change Ayano!!!!!
2. I LOVE the idea for the sassy but classy and creative+original Kizana!!
Keep up the great work on this amazing game
I like her new personality and backstory. It makes me more attached to the protagonist.
Yandere Chan has 2 VERY BIG personalities
Tibor Klein agreed
Tibor Klein I couldn't agree more I hope she has one it feels more complete you know?
Tibor Klein same, same
Tibor Klein I agree.
who else is re-watching this to ignore the fact that´s been 3 weeks since the las video?

P EV how did u know...?

P EV I read on yandevs block that he had birthday and was on the anime expo, we need to be more patient :D
Kyo ko you're right, we need more patience ^^
I think it's important to develop the characters as well as their backstories. I think it'll make the game even more interesting, and thus have more of a replayable value (_Last of Us_ , _Mass Effect_ , _Fall Out_ , etc.). I always see video games as "interactive stories"; things that you can't replicate in either film nor literature. Expanding on Yandere-chan's backstory is a great step in the right direction because it can create, not only sympathy for the character, but also a sense of understanding (i.e. _Dexter_). You can add a layer of ambiguity, but it's also important to put hints/visual references to past events within the game itself: giving it more of a "Show, Don't Tell" approach. Or maybe go for _The Killing Joke_ approach where Yandere-chan's backstories can be multiple choice.
Either way, I think the game gets better every time you update it. I'm looking forward to see what you'll come up with.
Senpai is a very regular guy, someone you'd never except to be a 'love interest', but it is possible that he could make people feel love they've never felt. He did somehow get Ayano to feel love for the first time
I honestly don't like senpai's design. I honestly can't see how 11+ girls could call head over heels in love.Ayano had never felt love in her life, so it was much sweeter than normal.

JAJAJAJAJAJA
The best quote of yandere dev XD
Sisi Love NO
I really like the idea that Kizana values creativity and wants Kokona to change her hairstyle because of that. By doing that, Kizana would originally seem snobby and arrogant on the surface but once you get to know her, becomes a more likeable and respectable character.
Blanc Space yeah!! I agree :)
I love how Yandere Dev explains everything so nicely
"Sassy... But Classy."

-CHAN ChAN CHAN CHAN!-
I think giving her emotions but making her feel like she's missing something is the best option. As the protaganist, it will make it easier for people to empathize with her, and like her as a character.
but she's not supposed to empathised with, which is the entire problem with the idea.
Okami Kotori Yandere Dev said that he wants Ayano to reflect how the player wants her to be, such as the player themselves.
This is what i commented a while ago:
I think it would be best to keep the characters more simple and the story more complex. I think giving yandere-chan too much emotion would make her just too middle of the road.
what you have created now sets a stark contrast with the rest of the characters. It makes it that by default nobody can really understand her, by giving her emotions it would make her actions more justifiable. Her emotionlessness makes her stand out as a character, giving her emotions would make her feel more like somebody as Osana, non socially acceptable ways, but justifiable by the means. Make Yandere somebody who nobody can justify, as somebody who would go any length, but indeed let the player choose that very length.
I understand that to many people having a character with more emotions makes the character more pleasing (for ships or whatever) But as a game designed to work out a tv trope to something more, it is best to keep the characters very basic cliche's, but make them more likeable via backstories or have them have more than just their surface.
Same with Kizana, snooty is a nice cliche to start out with, how about you make her unlikeble on the surface, but somebody who just values creativity underneath?
no its way better if she stays an empty vessel I see he has difficulty writing characters!
You can have an emotionally void character that still has depth and be empathized with. Early season Dexter is a prime example. I think Yanderechan is more interesting as a schizoid sociopath.
how about she develops personality over what actions you take? if she silently picks them off one by one, then she becomes cunning and secretive, but other wize normal, and if she does it without bloodshed, shes simple, and very protective of what the other students think of her, because then senpai may not like her.
Craftykit That sounds a bit complicated
I like that! But yeah, it sounds so hard to make... Like they have to write a lot of route for it. But then again maybe we can have more than one ending?
Suggestion: There’s something called “Alexithymia” which makes it hard to have emotions making it seem they don’t have any emotion. If you want to make Ayano to have no emotion, give them Alexithymia to make it seem sense
I loved your ideas Dev, the yandere's being a person looking for something in your life I super support! And I loved the idea that Kizana could be sweet after all, it's going to make people like her more and so hard to kill someone so incredible! I love your work and I support your new ideas. I hope that the others too.
I ALWAYS loved Kizana, but now... I'll like her even more LOL
are you a kid cus I am
I think you should give her your backstory. Right now, its hard to connect or sympathise with her as a character. I myself, would love a backstory, it adds to another dimension to the game; makes it just that little bit deeper.
Francis Filth But that can also be used as a personality - someone you don't want to know when it comes to learning about her past.
Emily Ritson the woman machine should do!
It would be a mistake to not give her depth.
Emily Ritson me too. i feel that even though yan-chan may kill people, she needs a backstory so she would have a backbone and that would lead to a more interesting and (maybe) in depth game
Less is more.
Yan-Dev, I love almost all of your ideas. You're a charming person, and many of your ideas shine. I look up to you in that same aspect. I think that Kizana should be a snobby brat, because then you can reflect on how Senpai doesn't judge someone on their cover, then you can have him dig down into Kizana, and find out that she could be "sassy but classy" if helped. Love your progress, Yan-Dev. Keep it up!
Irenazenine Atra r
Irenazenine Atra preach 🙌🙌
Irenazenine Atra i agree and i would rather like that kizana copied kokonas hair
I like the idea of Kokkona expressing herself in a new hair style.
I always thought it was just because she was a psychopath
Sociopath would be a better description for Yandere-chan.
Sociopath: no feelings, cold and calculating, think logically and usually have set goals and maybe a moral compass(though very, very different from the average person's).
Psychopath: no moral compass, no conscience, and performs morally wrong acts on a whim(sometimes).
SecretlyANarwhal honestly she kind of is with her current personality
Stim Addict you got those 2 mixed up
Stim Addict psychologia.co/psychopath-vs-sociopath/
Someone You Don't Know No, the difference is in whether or not they have a conscience. Sociopaths do, even if at a lower level than the regular population. Psychopaths have NONE. She seems to have just enough of a conscience as she avoids killing Senpai and those who don't stand in her way.
It would be cool if we could choose senpai’s name in the game
Well, I like the idea of giving Yandere chan a background to give some deep to her character. However if you don't want to change her emotionless persona, you don't have to. You can give depth to her character by using it as a plot device.
She can be a deep character, without the need to add emotions into the mix. You can have her slowly developing them, depending on the player choices. And show this development through cut scenes… at the end of each week, for the sake of giving them a timeline.
For example, if the player chose to embark on a genuinely nice path (not dripping any blood and going out of their way to be kind) she can start developing positive emotions.
Like laughing suddenly at a tv show late at night, because she got the joke. She would keep replaying the moment, and laugh until she cries of joy.
The new and overwhelming feelings of happiness, that was foreign to her before, she is experiencing it now. This could even make her gain something she didn't even knew existed… hope.
This pacific Yan chan has the potential to grow to be a kind character, who genuinely but unknowingly cares about others. Deeply so.
On the opposite side of the coin, if the player is a shameless murderer, Yan chan will retrieve herself further in her insanity. The emotions that senpai makes her feel could grow dull over time, until they are meaningless. And so, once again, she feels nothing at all.
Nothing, but bloodlust that is. Since killing became such a daily task that she no longer cares for senpai, but for the adrenaline product of the killing sprees she goes unto "for his sake".
Or, seen through a different perspective. Her obsession could grow, and grow, until she falls unto full insanity. Becoming worse that her mother.
Dunno, just throwing ideas unto the air.
About Kizana though… yeah, she doesn't have to be a total snob, but she's supposed to be a himedere, right? So, not so likable either.
This is a really good idea
WhiteNya 471 I love your idea. Letting the player decide how her emotions grow or not is genius! I hope Yandere Dev takes your idea into consideration, but I'm not the developer, so I can't make him put it in the game. I really hope that Yandere Dev sees your comment and at least thinks about it, because I think that your idea would improve gameplay a great deal.
This isn't really a good idea. I also think there should be different endings based on how you play but not like this. This kind of thing just really bothers me because it is so naive - if the character is a killer they can't feel positive emotions, have no interests besides killing and are nothing more than an evil demon who just wants to ruin everyone's life, while if they reach their goals in a peaceful way they suddenly become a good and kind perfect angel, even if they have selfish motives like Ayano, because "friendship and kindness solves everything". It doesn't matter whether Ayano is sadistic, manipulative, violent or non-violent, she is a selfish character and she needs to stay that way. If she wasn't she wouldn't be trying this hard to get a boy to love her. A "normal" person just wouldn't do that. Ayano is selfish and, more or less, crazy and I think it would be best if she stayed that way in every ending, even if the rest of her personality depends on the way you play.
If Yandere-chan could develop feelings just on her own the question comes up why she would even need senpai at all and also why didn't that happen before.
Essays..
I like it.
I like how the developer cared for the people playing,and I like how he made the character very flexible to design and create.
It also made me really think about the definition of yandere which I never really thought into much at first.
The new idea about Kizana is really good. It makes her way more likable
I like this idea too ^^ btw when I heard that she will maybe use some foreign words I immediately thought that she is perfect match for Shuu Tsukiyama from Tokyo Ghoul xDD
tru
CrAzYmArY I think she could become one of the most loved characters in the game, if YanDev really ends up doing what he said about her
Chirose Moriyama you mean, the crazy Tsukiyama?
CrAzYmArY yeah because she was super bitchy
It's ok if someone doesn't like your character or game, because you are the creator and you make the choices to leave it or change it
^ This!
7:42 *"Or permanently thirsty"* which is what yanderechan is ;)
I think that Kizana and Kokona should be related.
It's called anti-social personality disorder or psychopathy/sociopathy
Liberalist Öbersturmfürer i think yandere is a sociopath not a psychopath
Unique TheGamer i think she is more psychopath than sociopath because sociopaths are like that because of a tragic childhood and psychopaths born like that for a genetic reason. Yandere-chan have always be like that and her mother was like that too so she is more psychopath than sociopath 😋
What happens if yandere chan eliminated all of her rivals, and then she confesses to senpai and he's like "Oh! I'm sorry yandere chan, but I'm gay". Biggest plot twist ever!
amany dental i think his life would be in danger
Wh.....why
amany dental
He's bi.
'v'
amany dental Switch over to a Yandere Kun and confess to male senpai 😂
amany dental After that... she kills him and goes on a killing spree and ends up finding another boy and obsessed over him and kill other rivals, etc. ( and ties him to a chair forcing him to marry her)
How about a Senpai Simulator? Your goal is to try and finish your God damn book!!
mdizzle999872 is it just going to be a reskin of yandere simulator?
mdizzle999872 😂
Nah you got to find a quite place to read, with a progress bar and everything. But with all the women chasing after you it's lucky if you can ever get a moment alone.
OMG YES XDDD HE NEVER HAS FINISHED IT
"2" teachers?
Keep it as it is! There will only be so much hassle and such little difference
I like the "new" Kizana, Having likable rivals seems like a great idea, that way more people would try pacifist methods of winning
It would certainly make us feel more guilty about stabbing her to death.
That honestly sounds like a fresh fish out of water. ^^
I just hope it doesn;t go how undertales fanbase went. :/
EpicNerdsWithCameras and it would be hurtful to choose to kill them too
Having likable rivals would kinda make sense in the fashion that they WOULD ask out senpai on Friday. If they weren't a very likable character, I get the feeling that even if the tree is "blessed" that your crush will always say yes that senpai would say no. Therefore, the character wouldn't really be a rival if senpai would say no to them on a logical level rather than "I need a unique opponent." becoming the basis for the character's personality.
As part of the ways to customize "Senpai", there should be the choice of making "Senpai" either a boy or a girl!
catchifyoucan232 That is to come.
Its already an idea but yandev is just not working \ publishing it so its not really a creative idea...
21 Crybaby’s Panicking At The Disco no it doesn't it's just gender swap
catchifyoucan232 omg yassssssss
catchifyoucan232 you should be able to make Yandere-chan boy or girl and Senpai boy or girl so it's open to all kinds of sexualities
Sassy......but classy 😏

Yandere-chan is permanently thirsty for Senpai.

maybe she's gonna play a part as a character in the final game

Wtf even on low brightness the glitchy fun girl in the empty space still creeped me out. For writing this YEARS later, I'm looking forward to the characters story for them all!
Oops I meant 12:28
I have an idea. What if you did both? Sounds confusing right? Let me explain. The start of the game,you will get no story,and as you progress, depending on your decisions(how you get rid of the competition) you can slowly get a story, if you play nice. And the more you don't kill, the more of a person she would reveal to be. This could also make for creative ways to take out your rivals. Or if you want to be murderous, she will be more of a husk. Or, if you help others with certain tasks, that could also depict her having more of a soul, than a husk. This could also be a good way to add a few fun missions too. Just some random thoughts that I think could be used.
Razz Smurup sounds good (doesn't work?)
I realy like this idea. It has a little bit of the dating-sim-route-thing on it. Although I think it would be quite an effort to change the game in such an direction. On the other hand I have no clue about game developement so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's actually a really good idea!!!
Razz Smurup I agree heartily. This is the best middle ground option for YandereDev.
That sounds so close to Undertale. You can choose to just kill and finish the game without knowing anything about anyone or you can be more creative and leave them alive but without being an obstacle for your goal. SOUNDS TOO CLOSE. But it´s a nice idea...
ahh a Butterly effect
I like how Yandere-Chan is a lot like Gordon Freeman, in the sense that the player imprints their own personality onto the character, making the experience of playing the game somewhat unique to each player.
But the main difference is that Yandere-Chan isn't a silent protagonist.
TheFVguy I know that, but they are very similar how that they are as unemotional and blank as possible, letting the player shape the character in their own image.
Jeff The Theorist I actually like to compare Ayano to Junko Enoshima from Danganropa they both have love interest and depending on what you chose to do both are manipulative both have somewhat lovesick personality ecept Junko is more of a yangire and yandere mixture they are comfortable with killing They both lack emotions they both have mysterious backgrounds etc
I think making her an "empty girl" rather than the "emotionless girl" she's been up until now, is a natural progression of her character. I think this is a very good idea.
I would actually really like to see these developmental changes :0
They’re really good ideas!
