My Personal History With Yandere Dev and Yandere Simulator

[@theintrovertedcartoonist2002]

Thank you everyone for the massive support! People from my Instagram and tiktok and new folks from KZbin! I made this video a few weeks ago now and I’m surprised do see all the views and support from my brand new KZbin. I hope to make more content in in future but for now I only really have time to repost stuff from tiktok as I’m working on my finals right now. Thanks again everyone! ❤

[@SphericalNervousSystem]

Honestly, you nailed the 80s artstyle. The sharpness to the points, roundness to the eyes and simplicity of designs is really striking. Fuck yandev though, he can go off to gaol

[@theintrovertedcartoonist2002]

That means a lot. I remember 2 years ago being so worried I wasn’t being anime enough with it. I had never drawn anime before that. So thank you

[@azazellon]

For someone not knowing anything about the style, it's a very solid first attempt. Memorable and simple

[@firewolf950tfwgaming7]

This could just be me, but I personally feel like your attempt at the 80s anime art style replicates the 80s anime art style more than the one that was used. This isn’t to tear the other artist down mind you as both you and them produced good art, but when comparing the designs and asking which accomplishes the objective of “80s anime”, yours personally looks like something I could see fitting within that 80s anime crowd so I have no clue what yanderedev was smokin to feel the need to change it.

Indeed, though it happens a lot unfortunately ;0 especially depending on your professor-

[@LiaAmes]

Art uni student here. According to our teachers is because they want to avoid students defaulting to a trendy art style instead of coming up with their own original one. I totally get it for school projects but it’s kind of upsetting how they’re putting artists down when they see them do anime styles in their own personal work.

[@RyebuckCoppercap]

Honestly it's quite baffling how bad a programmer is YandereDev... Literally 2 semesters of having programming as a subject in Uni, and seeing his code makes me cringe so flipping bad, which would be fine if he just started programming, but 10 flipping years????

[@dreamystone]

The fact that he essentially plagiarized (if not outright stole), the original characters you created for the shopkeepers absolutely infuriated me. You were beyond kind to him. The fact that he made you create characters for a project he should have known he would be unable to pursue from the get-go is also absurd. Your generosity and tolerance is commendable. I'm sorry it was wasted on that scum. I'm commenting hoping you get boosted in the algorithm and hopefully some good comes your way for the bs you had to put up with from this manchild.

[@SphericalNervousSystem]

6:35 don’t feel bad that your work isn’t in Yan Sim- your work deserves to be in much better projects because frankly- you are way out of their league. I also wanted to say when they originally designs for the shop keeps came out- I fell in love cause it reminded me of the simplicity of some horror mangas back in the 80’s! I’m not sure if it was intentional but it’s really smart to have a simple art style because it invokes dread and the feeling that something is not right- very fitting to the game mode! This is especially important for the hair dresser- an actual serial killer you get the sense that there’s something not right with her and I love it!!!

[@heykarimu]

Honestly, I was really impressed when the "placeholders" shopkeepers were replaced. The ones you made felt so much more like an 80's anime aesthetic, and I really liked them.

I kinda want to draw them myself.

As someone who’s was a fan of the game and especially the art style(it was one of my main reasons to start drawing) it leaves such a bitter taste in my mouth to someone who I’ve been a fan do something so vile and disgusting,I’m genuinely happy to see that most of the people who worked for Alex are quitting honestly you guys truly deserve to not have your talents wasted on a terrible project and I truly hope the people who are affected by Alex’s actions are doing well

[@DyxoXinoro]

I may be late to the party, but I'm glad you spoke up about this. Seeing those beta designs was really cool, and seeing the 1980's filter on them would have been cool. I hope that you will get to (or maybe already are!) getting to do something with either those characters or that style of design.

[@Flutterhigh444]

I loved the 80s anime style you did. You did a spectacular job for something new, unlike Alex who will never be comfortable with new things and ideas.

Truth is, WankdereDev was never worth supporting.

[@srjsfangirlPL2014]

I heard of the Yanderedev-related drama and I no longer support that creep. Sure, his project seemed to have potential, but with his true nature exposed, I believe the game's concept is better off as fanart & fanfiction, but this time without monsters like him being in charge. Honestly, Your artworks for the game look much better than the redrawn ones, and Yandev had absolutely no right to hurt You like this. Rememeber: if the so called 'famous yet demanding' folks like him can't appreciate simple but true art, then someone else will. Hakuna matata and God bless You dearly!

Your art has a very interesting and recognizable appeal, and whilst I have respect for the artists that fall under the "good" category, yours gives off the vibe of just... passion for something you really like, whilst the other smells like just a transactional exchange and nothing further. Good luck in any future positions you may find yourself in, and if I ever need an artist in the future for some kind of project, I would look forward to working with you. :)

I agree with everyone else, his controllingness is very indictive of his personality. You can't argue that he's like that due to passion, there's a difference between being very very passionate and scummy.

[@Chrisinliberty]

Been looking at this video several times since I came across it the moment I heard the news about YandereDev like most of us did at the time. I wish he compromised in some way when he was doing the replacements, and if only he was more aware of what people working for him go through in the concept and design progress, he would've been an understanding developer, but no; once he had history of not taking criticism and being so demanding and not taking any new ideas (including variations of the thumbnails) without any efforts put into improving it, he'll always stay that way. I too hope his game rots. I can go on further about him in the future but that's for another day. I am pondering on whether I should get rid of anything I posted about Yandere Sim like I did with another game since I heard the news because like you did, I didn't want to be attached to a person like him. Your shopkeeper designs definitely fit the vibe a lot better; when I first watched videos of 1980s mode I saw them fit the town better; Plastic Love playing in the background; those designs deserved better. As for the shopkeeper, victim and bully designs, this is why I watched your video a couple times to get a good idea of how they might be reused in some way, but for now I have thought of different names for them that I got from Behind The Name and the Baby Name Books on my Kindle, ensuring they matched the way they were presented: Victim: Shizuko (Meaning quiet, and child) Bully: Shigeko (Meaning floruishing, luxuriant; like Purple I see her as rich but bratty.) Pink: Chika (Meaning Wisdom, Intelligence. She looks nerdy like Yellow as well) Red: Akane (Aka meaning Red) Orange: Kohaku (Meaning amber, which can be an alternative to orange for her jacket and bandana.) Yellow: Masami (Meaning become, or right, proper, and beautiful. I recommend keeping the primary idea of being into cosplay because it would convey the idea that she wants to become her favorite characters this way. If you said you get to keep your shopkeeper designs, you technically get to keep your main ideas for them as well; perhaps make them outside of Alex's view.) Green: Mayumi (Meaning real, and genuine, she looks like an employee anyone can rely on for advice) Indigo: Yuna (Meaning excellence, superiority, gentleness; I feel as though she acts more like the latter.) Purple: Toyoko (Meaning luxiriant, lush, bountiful; I imagine she's more luxurious, though I would replace her role as a shopkeeper of a controversial game mechanic with something related to fashion and luxury) I hope you get your work featured in another game in the future; your efforts behind each illustration deserve more coverage and deserved to be compensated in some way.

@@medievalarmorexptert6827 it isn't if you're not shady or dishonest and you don't pay artists later to copy the art done for free though.

[@ChimeraLotietheBunny]

As an aspiring artist and (former) yandere fan of the game not creator after all the deteriorating years of free labor respect for volunteers like you. So now inspired to work for better boss or indie games. Let’s see , but not gonna lie I secretly want to work on yandere content not for a game but a story wise with wasted potential

[@PewPawPows]

Girl, your work as a lot of potential and anyone who gets people to draw only to throw their hard work away deserves a big fat punch in a face, especially Alex. It's never too late to find a better project or make your own featuring your own characters, anyway! Oh yeah, I also decided the characters too Victim: Yuko Bully: Diana Pink: Momo Red: Alexa Orange: Sol Yellow: Rae Green: Pauline Indigo: Velvet Purple: Liliane

[@purplepikmin4236]

Love your work and hope the best for you.

[@AUSTRIAN101]

honestly, i became a game developer because of yandere dev...... f him i will never do what he did ever

[@uglyahhfumo]

I clearly remember seeing your work when 1980s mode first came out and I thought it was really cute and faithful to the 80s anime style! Huge shame that Alex made Mulberry redo it. No hate to her, I think her art is cool, but I honestly loved yours WAAAAY better and I was actually a little confused when I saw new videos of the 1980s mode build with Mulberry's art since I was like "wait what happened to the other art?". But thanks for the whole explanation, you totally deserved better! You're a great character designer! :3

[@theintrovertedcartoonist2002]

Aw thank you that means a lot

[@wajmgirl]

Considering mulberry took credit for the designs and has been caught tracing in the pas5, nah, a tiny bit of “hate” is warranted.

[@uglyahhfumo]

​@@wajmgirl yeah i pretty much meant no hate to her art style, i think its cute, but then again considering those facts is pretty sad :(

[@mochaismilk]

@@wajmgirl No cause she really could've just credited her instead of acting like she came up with the concept on her own wtf

[@robowisanveithasung6022]

I love your 1980s anime art to be honest. I’m honestly a little surprised that it was your first time making such things, but they’re really good

[@hoodiefreak9206]

If I had the ability to make my own version of YanSim (I’m a minor with no video game programming experience so unless I learn as an adult, it’s unlikely), I’d 100% hire you to work on art pieces for it :)

[@blurplepie]

Wow. That scumbag not only was a straight up pedophile, but he manipulated people into just giving him free labor that he was gonna then profit off of? Using art SEVERAL times over, repeatedly, on something you were probably never going to see any profit on? I'd have felt guilty after like, the second art piece, but this dude straight up demanded MORE on a budget of free ninety nine. If you ever made a new yandere sim, with a big f u to Alex, I'd be more than willing to support that. I genuinely love your art style, would love to even commission some art in the future if at all possible, as well. I wish you all the best, and I hope you don't have to deal with scumbags like that anymore.

I will say your version of the hair dresser is amazing and i am sorry that all of your hard work got replaced. I almost volunteered to help work on music for the game but i thought i was too busy with college and other project's at the time

[@318oo78]

I'm very sorry this happen to you :( I know there that are people like that and that they shouldn't even ever exist >:C Thank you for sharing your story and I loved your art and designs!

[@Justchillingstrangers2012]

I already love your OC and voice already holy-

[@honeynutfemios5584]

A fun idea for a new video with your old shopkeepers could be a fun redesign video of these previous characters with new personalities!

[@j.a_jj]

i love your shopkeepers designs! i love it because its like how i draw mine ^^ THEIR SO CUTE AND ADORABLE!!! >:D also you nailed the artstyle!

[@crazyladywhodrownedinthelake]

I love the shopkeeper designs.

[@estydiaz3751]

I hate the part where the artist was selfish enough to claim the ideas and concept design of your work like it was their own. ughhhh!! So upsetting to hear that.

[@theworstvirgo]

I despise the way he talks to people. I volunteered for him for a much shorter period of time and would spend hours working on a piece of art. H would either tell me to redraw it, or saying the job had already been assumed half way through my creation process by another artist without telling me. I ended up drawing a poster of Osanas phone charm for the shopping centres, alongside with her actual phone charm. He told me he loved them, and that they would be put into the game. That was last June. Haven't seen those pieces of art since he was blocked.

[@theintrovertedcartoonist2002]

I’m so sorry that happened to you. Like he has his volunteers working under the false pretence that their work will be put in game, just for it to be replaced before or even after it’s put in game. It’s bs

[@olaf-chan-728]

your thumbnails were iconic tbh, i watched so many videos cause of your thumbnails ⭐✨💖

[@Acecard-jl2py]

Your avatar is quite unique in that fact that you give it a longer skinnier neck than most designs I’ve seen in the past. You make it work out pretty well.

[@thecalicocat6657]

He changed it again the thumbnail with the saw

[@teresarisac4260]

Alex is definition of a manchild... dude got 7 deadly sins around his life, but in other hand i'm glad you leaving him earlier before getting caught grooming one of his underage fangirls...also by the way i like your drawings your art is very cute and simple its actually quite fitting for the 80s mode, by the way don't ever give up on your dreams girl ❤

[@mihaipiciu3366]

The nerd design is ADORABLE, I dont care if the developer thinks the artstyle is "better", your design ideas were genius

[@KittyRosyyy]

Hello! I am a big fan of your artstyle and believe me when i say that i played this game and when i went to the town in the 80s mode and saw the models changed i started looking everywhere looking for a possible update thinking it might be a bug i loved them so much they were so unique because imo yan sim is just a fetishy fantasy of alex with no imperfections or uniqueness so it feels liveless. Your quality makes me think the model’s story and personality when i knew he was a groomer my heart dropped not for him but for all the people that would be blamed just for being part of the project and of course, i felt so bad for the victim. I just wanna make you feel good and support you because you have something he doesnt have and it is uniqueness, ACTUAL FEELING actual emotions and not thinking of it as work but as a hobby and something you enjoy of and noone has to take that from you i hope you make a project of your own because ill be the first to support !!

[@KookyCookiez]

Gotta love it, I always wanted to Volunteer for Mahan since I learned about the game in 2015 (I would have been 9-10 at this time) but not as character design, as a voice actress but I always had a weird feeling about him. It always conveyed an odd tone to me when I did watch his videos (the only like two or three times I watched them for updates when BijuuMike or KubzScouts hadn't made an update video) and I noticed how he was always oddly Monotone but there was always like some weird undertone with his voice and it creeped me out but I loved the game. I never supported him as a person and always thought he was also begging for money too and whenever I learned about his allegations (I was out of touch to the fandom) everything just kind of made sense about all my past thoughts on him, so thank you for sharing your experience with it honestly. I remember Michaela Laws saying how she was the only one on the VA side of the project who wasn't being paid and I thought it was strange and never occured to me that there were probably others who weren't paid either Edit: Obviously I don't feel that way anymore but the amazing voice acting of the og VA's is what helped kick me towards Voice Acting

[@_honeybeeley_3644]

That is so ass of him. He really doesn't realise how hard artists work. Also, I adore your art!! You are so underrated

[@waaahhhhh]

i remember mulberry copypasted moodboards next to the character sprites when she posted them... 🤨

[@theintrovertedcartoonist2002]

I remember seeing that too and it made me really upset. :

[@Darkoriax17]

Alex is a creep, a crappy boss, and a scam artist. Truthfully, you deserve to have your art being used by far, FAR better than that walking mistake. Your art is actually incredible. And he couldn’t see the magnificence of what he was given. I remember back in the early days when YandereSim was actually something worth looking into. Then all the dirt on Alex started surfacing. And the game stagnated…No thanks. I’m not supporting devs like that. But you, you are an amazingly talented artist and incredibly brave for coming forward and sharing your experiences. Never stop believing in yourself or your art. Edit: You should get in touch with someone to make your own game revolving around those characters. Those designs are amazing. They just scream classic 80s anime (and as a fan of Gundam which the OG anime debuted in the 80s I am ALL FOR THAT STYLE!) and it is amazing.

[@birthdayfruitecake8158]

Your designs are awesome; I love the feel your visual novel designs bring to the potential story, it gives off a somber yet calm vibe, it makes me wish there was a good game like that. Your art is just really sleek yet bursting with personality, and very good.

[@Wishtelle]

im very sorry about this. i looked up more about this online and found a reddit thread discussing the sprite change. someone commented they felt sorry for the person who made the original shopkeepers, and a few people replied saying they were pretty sure it was mulberry themself who drew the originals.. awful.

[@gachatubergirl181]

Can I just say that the shopkeeper dubbed "yellow" reminds me of someone's cooky, yet really fun aunt- I love the designs you made, you did amazing! I'm sorry things went the way they did :(
