I love the lore and vibe of Eisjon Noaj's "Yandere Simulator 1980s Mode (Ryoba Aishi- Say My Name)" video. The idea of Ayano being raised in an environment where her father has Stockholm syndrome (and is being abused), so Ayano perceiving that as normal. With anti-social personality disorder, but being very two faced. I love the idea of when she's with people, she's that innocent happy schoolgirl. But the second she's out of the public eye, she returns to her rather flat face. of course, with her family she's happy. They're the *only* ones who understand her. Ayano was raised to be the perfect sociopath. She has friend, yes, but she doesn't care about them very much--If at all. Viewing them as tools, an alibi--A cover. Her mother would've shared how she met her darling, and taught her all she knows. I also h/c that the Father would have faded scars from his days of being held captive. Mainly around his wrists and ankles, maybe even throat

[@suunkiisedstrawberriii]

writing out character changes for these three because i think it's be fun! Ayano: She's a shy girl that likes to keep to herself for the most part, but has a small support group within the school. In her pervious years she used to have a bad streak of being rather violent, making her unapproachable to most. But she has definitely mellowed out and tends to try and blend in more, but her life is boring and she's not happy. Of course when she meets Taro, and begins to kill, she has to be aware that he previous record of violence will likely get her caught, so she has to be creative in getting rid of the competition around her. Ayano just wants to be happy, but seeing the one thing in the world that has brought her joy being taken away from her is just not going to slip by. Osana: An ex-idol that just wants to start living a normal high school life, not really looking to begin a life in stardom once again. Her defensive persona puts her off from many people as she's not really sure who wants to actually be her friend or just trying to mooch off of her previous fame. She's been Taro's friend for years and has recently become friends with Raibaru, who is noticeable protective of Osana. As for cutting her hair when she starts dating, I see it as an act of rebellion against her family and fans since her most notable trait as an Idol was her long hair. Amai: A sweet and friendly girl, often found in the Cooking Club during her free-time making treats for everyone around school. She's often seen working, not only on her family's bakery, but also in school which has many people rather concerned for her health. Many people within the school often talk to Amai and get advice from her and it seems like Amai is always making time for those around her. She's constantly working and occupying herself with things, so it's rather hard to get to know Amai, and many people are often just acquaintances with her as she works so much. Sorry for this!! I'm just really passionate on rewriting the characters / story and this just sparked my motivation ^^" these aren't the best but I think they could work, as for the next characters, I'd like to see how you would redesign muja and mida, as I'm sure most people are as well!!

To me the bland color palette of ayano works seeing as how she's supposed to be completely emotionless up until she meets taro. I think it allows her to feel static/stoic (?/?) while also not drawing to much attention to herself from other students for being that way because she's just an average girl. I mean, dark hair and eyes are common in Japan and the game is set in Japan. That's just my opinion though!

The fact that you considered body type into the redesign is awesome. I know coding's hard (I've had a taste of it in highschool and god did I want death to reign on me) but even each of the characters' concept design lacked charm - the charm of realistic outlook. Yandere Sim has always been that way to me; it just feels like a game to simply waste your time on, and that's what simulators are supposed to be anyway, but the customizable aspect as well as the (obvious) 'appeal' to the game felt nothing more than a fever dream. Yet simply diversifying physical traits of the characters made them stand out so much more. The difference in physical characteristics leaves the impression of background to the character, and tells a lot about their life and hobbies. I guess this is why I dislike customizing characters in games, since I rather get to know these characters more than have me make up their physical characteristics. Speaking of which - _Please_ do Taro Yamada, and even do some proper backstory for him. It's honestly impossible for me to fathom how multiple women would fall for an average joe with the way YanSim portrays him, even though I know average joe's that attract a lot of women.

You should totally do Raibaru next, because it doesn't feel right to see a shiny new Osana and NOT see what you'd do with her best friend next. When redesigning the story you should either nerf Raibaru's strength or make it so Ayano cannot snap if she hasn't dealt with Raibaru yet (if you even plan to keep snap as a concept), because I saw a good point somebody brought up where it talked about how snap and Raibaru clash. Snap makes Ayano strike fear into anyone and nobody can fight her (not even heroic students or students with a high self-defense stat), but Raibaru can and will disarm you the second you pull out a knife. I'm curious to see how you'll go with the other characters you plan to redesign, and i can't wait for the next video!

[@Ryoba__chan]

I think snap should be removed...why?Firstly let's be honnest the fact ayano was rejected doesn't make her stronger, second Raibaru would atleast try to aprehend ayano when she kills osana, third at least occult club should instead of standing in one place run away because they are cowards or student council should try to aprehend with paper spray ayano so...Snap can be left if it won't be like canon...What I'm saying it would be much better if it was easter egg not something that will be canon

And for the love of all that is holy, PLEASE rename her

[@sticky-note1981]

@@Ryoba__chan Well, first of all, I didn't say anywhere that Ayano getting rejected made her stronger. I think snap is intended to show the "yan" part of her name, where she'll go absolutely insane if she doesn't get the one she truly loves most. Snap relies on the fear of the students, and it conflicts with Raibaru because she shouldn't be scared if she can disarm her in an instant. Secondly, nowhere I mentioned Osana. Even if I did, there's literally a way in the game to kill Osana for real without getting seen by Raibaru, and there's plenty of fan-concepts for getting past Raibaru too. Third, what does this third point have to do with.. anything? I see your point with the student council, but I can brush it off as Ayano being so insane she cannot easily be stopped with pepper spray due to being able to push all the pain aside. Or... yknow, they can just be scared. With the Occult Club, I don't think they're even relevant when we're talking about why snap and Raibaru conflict, because they literally don't matter. In the context of snap, they're just as scared as anyone else, frozen in fear. Aside from literally every point you made, I do agree that getting rid of snap is a valid way of addressing the snap vs Raibaru problem.

Wow found this late but I do want to say that the colorless pallet could work with her story, she claims that she could never feel anything before she met senpai. Don't get me wrong the red looks amazing and really pops some color in there but maybe it could be a more subtle red splashed in there, like heterochromia of some sort. Like one red and one gray, cool, classic, gives both edgy vibes and unique cuteness given the rest of the lines make her cutesy. I do think central heterochromia would work for her story, like, imagine if you will: the red bursting from her pupils as she feels emotions for the first time by meeting senpai, seeing color and it's red, like a blossoming red rose. Then, it symbolizes the hate she feels for the rivals... the fact she's seeing red when around them for "stealing her senpai", how the pupils almost look like a blood splatter... Again, loving the red but the colorlessness does lend itself to the story she had of not being able to feel.

Please do all of them, oml. I love it when people take a character and run with it, using it more as a prompt than trying to stay true to it, especially with Osana’s design. I love her little bubble braid, she looks really inspired now. That all do, great job 👍

[@nissinochako]

in the game itself, we can already have the way yanderedev thought (about nurses, younger sisters, teachers, etc. like, he only put his own fetishes in the game, how come no one noticed that? yanderedev must be forgotten.) (and by the way, I loved the redesign and the headcanons!!!! your style is very nice

[@ellis_exists]

Honestly I love the fan designs, especially Amai's from how cute you made her! I forgot about Yandere Simulator for a good amount of time, but the news doesn't surprise me at this point. Still the designs are amazing and I love them!

[@Nina-fg3rq]

"not a professional" GIRL YOU DRAW SO GOOD ARE YOU PICASSO OR SMTH LIKE THAT?

[@RingRuru]

I‘M REALLY NOT

[@ange4154]

I like how Osana even looks similar to a lot of Japanese idols, and even looks like other red-haired anime idols while still looking very much like herself. The original Osana honestly does look like what YanDev intended her to be; an amalgamation of references for people to point at and go "Oh! I know this!". Now she truly feels like her own character with in-world and out-world inspirations (I couldn't help but think of Yumemi from Kakegurui when I saw the hair and eye combo)

[@maevedevoe]

LITERALLY COSPLAYING OSANA NOW BC OF THIS

[@idk-xs5nz]

Now that you mentioned Amai working at a bakery, I now have a proposition for a more pacifistic way of getting rid of her. What if an option is to somehow make her too busy in the bakeshop to meet up with the love interest?

[@Jul._.777]

'im not a professional character designer' GIRL YOU SHOULD BE

[@denandagain]

omg!!! your art is so beautiful!!! it has been a while since i've seen anything related to yandere simulator, so this was nice to watch (crazy to find out that yandere dev was uh, more than weird tho). your explanation for the choices you made in the designs were really interesting to hear, and the way you incorporated them into the story was really great! i felt like i've learned a bit about character design ✨i would also love to see the other characters redesigned!!

[@ladybirdg5658]

I REALLY like the creator notes on your redesigns. You're killing it

[@Hatsune-Miku_Fan]

Imagine entering High school and some kid is named my wife

[@manilovefnaf_ch3rr1]

You did amai so much justice 😭 shes my favorite rival, such a silly lil scrunkly these designs are beautiful! Your osana redesign is my favorite one i've seen. Shes so pretty :3 i liked her color palette, yeah. But it annoyed me how her eyes were orange like her hair, it just looked like...too much orange to me?? Btw; tbh im not sure if you re gonna see this, but maybe you could take a look at the suitors/vicepresidents? (and maybe the some of the club presidents too lol) i love shoku, but i hate how he's just reduced as "male amai", oka and shin look like fucking TWINS, same for kizana and her suitor (yeah i forgot his name)

[@insomniac_sxribles7196]

While it was obvious from day one but like, though the game overall is lacking and shouldn't have taken this long to get where it is, it's kinda sad to see it go. Despite its problems I genuinely enjoy the main idea and think it was built by the fans. I think the volunteers who where built it from the ground up should be able to take the project over and revamp it to what it should be, what we wanted. I miss the old videos when updates that basically did nothing were fun and new. This game deserves better, us the fans deserve better, and the victims deserve justice

[@BrunoSantos-bw2pg]

Congratulations... Now I want to read a Yandere Simulator webcomic made by you

[@PlantyAYO]

This is the first yandere simulator related video I watched and I actually really enjoyed it:D great job!

[@Ana-tn4rm]

your art is so beautiful! i never thought it was possible to make these characters actually look interesting. crazy how good character design can help with storytelling. 💕

[@Harumaluvr]

I have an idea how to not only redesign Mida,but also rewrite her. She sould be one of those cool teachers everyone likes,and she also really cares about the students safety,so when Ayano starts to have not very good reputation,Mida thinks she's a bad influence to Taro and just want to protect him.

[@star_fru1tz]

new headcanon: osana's dream is to be an idol, and as a kid she forced taro to promise to be an idol with her

[@nuages8915]

💀

[@sakumiraagashi]

You said you're not a pro character design but your designs are AMAZING and you're so good at explaining your process, as well as incorporating lore and personality into the designs itself. Even before Yandere Dev was outed to be a predator, my biggest criticism about the characters is that the only difference in their design is their stockings and hairstyle (and to give context, I'm absolutely not a critic and I never really nitpick anything, so me having that thought is saying something). I LOVE your redesigns of Osana and Amai the most, I think their personalities just SHINE through their design, facial expression, posture, etc... I'd love to see you do more redesigns like this, especially the Drama club rival (forgot the name lmfao) because I think there's a lot of design potential with her personality alone. I actually have to take notes from this video because I wanna show my characters' personality through the design better and I think the tips you gave here are very helpful ❤

[@J14078]

you say that you arent a professional character desinger, but it feels like you are with how beautiful these redesigns are my GOD

[@crumpscrumbs]

Despite the disclaimer at the start, you sounded like you knew a good deal about character design. I felt like I was learning a lot of useful advice from you. Thanks for the vid ❤ Also, I’d be down for you making the Yandere Sim Story actually good. Unlike the Dev, you’d probably actually finish this project too.

[@mischastevens5223]

I think this might be my favourite redesign. Both characters look familiar to the og but much more interesting in the redesign.

[@nemudere]

just realized it would've been a cool detail if she happened to wear a random different headpiece next to the headscarf each day (like the carrot or cherry ones shown in the video)

[@vinnikoamber]

The small picture of redesign Ayano and Amai standing next to each other makes them look like tall scary girlfriend and short caring girlfriend :D

[@enderb0t]

"Mai Waifu"💀 It sounds like a name JK Rowling would give to a Japanese exchange student. Only second to Hero Sheema

[@kyasarin1908]

HOLY MOLY! For someone who isn't a professional game designer, your redesigns absolutely rock! I love the diversity and the colors you gave to each of the characters! I am definitely looking forward to seeing your redesigns for the other characters/rivals! (bro, you could literally change the whole story, and I wouldn't mind one bit :)

[@sofias407]

I've seen millions of their redesigns and these are the best imo. Amazing job! They stay true to the og designs while also improving them more both in aesthetics and story❤

[@wheylost]

yoooo!! your redesigns are so pretty and a lot more clear on the rival's (+ ayano's) personaility and roles! amai looks so loveable n' soft, and osana has the right amount of sass (the idol headcanon is an interesting, but fitting touch)! ayano looks so sweet, but still has that hidden dark side spark!! aaaa!! sorry for gushing but they just look SO GOOD in your style! keep it up, i'd love to see more!! :D

[@Moretropes11]

This video was amazing I loved how you brought out more of their traits and made them more recognizable 💗

[@Gloomm2007]

I love it when redesigns actually make sense and have meaning behind them and aren't like that girl that blackwashes Deku etc. Yandere Sim. had so much potential but the dev decided to give the characters almost no personality and then we also find out that he is a creep

[@LaPearll]

I can see understand why yandere dev made all the characters skinny considering beauty is a huge part of Japan and what they consider pretty is skiing girls with fair skin 😁

[@TheOneThatLurks]

Hmm, I might do redesigns to piss off Alex Mahan aswell. Trashing on a predator aside, the designs look really nice!

[@indigo2018]

I actually do like Ayano's design. She's not anything really special compared to her rivals (who seem to be unique with distinct designs) which I think fits her role as a jealous murderer lol. Shes just an average-looking girl and that may be why shes so threatened by competition. But I like what you did with her, it still fits this role.

[@scaranism]

I LOVE these redesings. Especially Osana's. You can immediately tell she is a tsundere 😂

[@Eepyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

FINALLY, OSANA LOOKS ACTUALLY ATTRACTIVE NOW

[@omvvalentine]

THIS IS LITERALLY BEAUTIFUL also!! 4:02 she looks like nemesis chan (and i only know that because i used to watch lots of yandere simulator gameplays including mission mode)

[@wormystring]

idk i find it weird that the more chybby character has to be the cooking club president :/

[@blorisy]

mate it’s simply a headcannon, your thinking to deep. 😭

[@wormystring]

@@blorisy she quite literally said "ah yea since she's the cooking club president I'll make her smaller and alter her body type to fit the persona" like how do you not see it bruh

[@blorisy]

@@wormystringok I think I missed a few chapter I don’t recall her saying that? that’s low-key crazy insensitive sorry for sounding rude 🫶

[@vrtualdoll]

​@@blorisyAt 7:16 and beyond you can hear it yourself! ^_^ Being chubby myself, her saying that chubby makes her look softer/kinder is so ??? Okay?? no. And overall, most bakers aren't even chubby. I get it that it's because the artist based on an hypothetical situation "If i was a baker, i would probably look like her", but still...

[@Moonzztone]

omggg i love ur desigins sm! i rlly hope for part 2! i think kokona need some justice

[@Nevamore277]

I feel like Ayano’s design before was actually fine, I like how they made her look like a “background character” like someone you won’t look at twice when you’re at school, it makes sense for her to look bland and not like a “main character” imo

[@testerwulf3357]

The redesign still loos somewhat background charactery, the rest of the characters are so colorful and have accessories and stuff while she just doesn't.

[@mewisconfused]

I do think that a wider, rounder figure like the way you drew her fits Amai quite well. Meanwhile I imagine Kizana to be pretty slim yet broad-shouldered, and Oka to be very skinny.

[@thesilliestbug.forever]

I would LOVE to see a second episode ! ❤

[@reesesinyobowl]

Osanas design is iconic. But urs is so well done

[@artieskuld6858]

Tbh Ayano is very recognizable. There's not many notable anime character with a simple high ponytail, black hair, grey eyes and an emotionless expression. Anyone who bare these features and wear an uniform is automatically tagged as 'the Yandere game girl'. If you google 'Yandere' the first result you get is Ayano then Yuno. I think her being plain compared to others is a smart choice in terms of narration bc it shows how outcast she is. (And basically a sociopath looks like a normal person.) She is like the girl who lived as the background character in others' colorful and hectic lives. She's full of resentment, wanting to be the main character for once, yearning for what others get just by existing. Osana's design is inspired by Asuka bc Asuka is a popular tsundere archetype and YD is an Eva fan. But it doesn't mean she is intended to be her. In 2010s most childhood friend/tsundere characters wore twintails and reddish hair. Basically her current design is a mix of general cliché tsundere features. As for the accessories, I agree with you it could be handled much better. It's still too "sandbox/amateur design" as of now. For the stalker to be obsessed with an anime character, maybe it's cringe but it's not unrealistic tho. I mean, look at Cosplay conventions ;;; some fans behavior are disturbing, they creep me out. Waifu culture is its own kind of creepy. Osana sharing a ressemblance with an idol doesn't change much. Your redesign is an appropriate take on someone looking both like a magical girl character and a Love Live character. So there's no failing logic that needs to be fixed, it's simply your preference (maybe Oshi no Ko ?) Your redesign and idea of gyarus influencing her fashion is great btw !! Okay now I'm curious as hell, why do everyone who redesign Amai redesign her as being chubby ? Is it because she's a baker ??? I'm French, the home-country of gastronomy and baking. Do foreigners believe cooks/bakers to be a little fat because they make food ? People surely know that loving food, being a gourmet =/= your body gets fat. My grandpa is a cook, my great-uncle is a butcher, my aunt is chief in her own restaurant. None of them are chubby. Most cooks I know about aren't either. I buy bread everyday and there's like 4 bakeries open in my small town and the bakers actually looks fit. They got strong arms. It's not a surprise since their job is made of physical exercices. So I'm really wondering where does this stereotype comes from because in French fiction most cooks and bakers don't look chubby at all. And being chubby doesn't make you look like a kind person, in fact it doesn't make you anything. No offense, your Amai is mega sweet. She looks like a mama character 😊 Love the baby hair and real apron Anyway, you have a super pretty art style and I love your redesigns !

[@vrtualdoll]

My exact thoughts!
