Addressing the "mature minors" argument, an underaged individual who is "mature for their age" would understand and accept the fact that they're not ready to be partaking in certain things. In fact, the most IMMATURE kids are the ones who think they "have it all figured out" and insist they're "ready to do adult things."

As a former "mature minor". I concur, when I was that age I understood very well. People into kids my age are weird and the folks that try to argure mental mature are ussually creepy. The only way the "mentally mature" argument work is when it come to decision making of the kid themselve. Which if they are mature, wouldn't do risky shi't that need justicfication.

[@GuyDude-hk8uy]

Mike's criticism was *really* good. He was instructing Alex about the value of creating a DSL. I'm paraphrasing, but he says something to the effect of: "If I want to add a new move, all I have to do is type in a text file what the button sequence is and the engine does the rest; whereas you have to copy all of the code for how a move works, manually check for the buttons, manually specify the hitboxes for each frame etc." You talk about what you *want* the game to do, rather than *how* the game does it. You have a foundational layer of all of the nitty-gritty code that actually does the work of course, but you make it modular enough that you can build layers on top that allow you to speak at whatever level of specificity you want. You want to be able to say something as close to "shoryuken" as possible, and have your engine understand what you mean by that. I sympathize with how it must have felt having someone you look up to tear down your work, but it actually shows how little respect *he* had for Mike. You expect to barge in with your 3 months of work and have him be amazed and lavish heaps of praise on you? He's an actual pro working in the industry, of *course* he's going to be underwhelmed.

[@unnamed7485]

Hey late reply but what's a DSL? I'm curious

[@GuyDude-hk8uy]

@@unnamed7485 Hi there - a DSL is a Domain Specific Language. The idea is that instead of programming in whatever language you use (C++, Python, Haskell...) you build up a language *embedded within that language* that allows you to program declaratively. You could also build an entirely new language to program your game in, but building a compiler etc. is quite a task, so usually they are Embedded Domain Specific Languages. Instead of mucking around in the mud like Yanderedev, thinking of everything in terms of "if" or "case" he should be building up a language that allows him to describe what he wants the game to do instead of constantly focusing on the minute details. Functions are (for the most part) English words, so the idea is you can essentially write your code as sentences describing accurately, with no peripheral details, what you want your engine to do. Of course, it's rare you manage to create a language that so accurately describes what you want to do, but that is what you're striving for with a DSL. Smalltalk in a good example of this sort of mindset, you might be interested in looking into it. Lisp is another language closely associated with this mindset, but that often gets into macros, which are another thing all together (forgive my tangent.) When Mike adds a new move, he's not focusing on polling controller input, making the character move etc. because that's all embedded in the engine; he just adds the buttons to a file and the engine does the rest. I'm oversimplifying here but that's the gist of it. Some may simply describe this as "abstraction" which is true, but I think programming in this way, and having this mindset of building up a language that describes what you want to do declaratively is beneficial.

[@unnamed7485]

@@GuyDude-hk8uy Thanks for explaining, it took a bit for me to take it all in but it seems really interesting.

I still find it surreal that Scott and YanderDev started their games on the same year. Yet Scott has made a multimillion dollar franchise with a Hollywood movie coming out this month and is retiring, and this guy still hasn't finished one game.

[@Bonkpunktexe]

to be fair scott had worked on many games before fnaf, and used an engine that is generally really simple to work with, and his games took just a few months to complete. he released the first 4 games in the series WITHIN a year of each other, so it's not like they took long to make. that's not saying that him making games that fast isnt impressive, it is, and it also isnt a defense for yandere dev, but i think it's worth pointing out that they are games in very different genres, with very different engines, gameplay, and features. still embarrassing as fuck that yandere sim has been in development and still not been finished in almost 10 years, while fnaf is about to have it's 10th major game release, along with a movie, and also has a whole book series going on.

[@catcactus1234]

@@BonkpunktexeThat also goes to show how Scott was more experienced with scoping his games and making something realistically achievable within a short time frame. If Alex was a better programmer, he could’ve realized right off the bat that making a 3D open world stealth game with 10 weeks of completely unique content was going to be near impossible to ever complete.

[@Bonkpunktexe]

@@catcactus1234 exactly. Even without all the feature creep that was happening, Alex should have known better and actually tried to be more realistic for what him as a dev could make on his own. I feel that a game like yandere sim could only ever have all those features and work and be well made with a bigger team at the very least. Just like how minecraft wasn't just a one man job (there were several devs from early on, now a large team with backing from Microsoft works on it) yandere sim realistically can't be a one man job either

[@swiftlyaswiftie]

Scott was able to take criticism and (genuinely) find a way to improve or work on it. A Major example is when FNaF world came out, he took the criticism of it being 'too childish' and 'poorly made' and not only improve the game (including the Easter eggs) but also making the next game more passionate and content packed than any other game in the series (at the time)

[@eddv6090]

People would say that it isn't a fair comparison since FNAF is a simple code game Bruh, 8 games in less than 10 years, a book franchise, a movie, merch, millionare contracts and more. Meanwhile, Alex the Groomer Dev haven't made a bean of progress on the second level of his messy project

[@adamgreenspan4988]

The problem is that that “homeschooling” can legally be applied to any kind of home-based educational program. It is almost certain that many, many children who are being homeschooled are receiving substandard education in circumstances harmful to their psychological development; this is also true of some children in public schools, as well as private schools. And I’m sure some “homeschooled” children receive the best education possible. But the basic fact is that most people are not good teachers, and most local/state/national governments don’t have the resources (or sometimes even the authority) to effectively evaluate every homeschooling situation. I’m not proposing a ban on the practice, but I do think more parents should send their children to public or private school when available, utilize professional educators/tutors and standard curriculum in their homeschooling programs, and to ensure their children are able to socialize with their peers as much as possible. And to support greater oversight of homeschooling, because even though it may feel inconvenient to them, there are many other children out there who need someone to step in and ensure they are not being functionally deprived of their intellectual and psychosocial development.

[@melodiclogic9904]

@@adamgreenspan4988another problem I find with homeschooling is that it takes away almost all of the accountability a parent will face when their child is in a public school system. I’ve heard it hundreds of times before, even in my country where homeschooling is pretty rare. Child comes to school hungry, or with bruises, or exhibiting worrying behaviours and the like. Parent is called in to discuss, parent comes up with excuse and child magically disappears to be “homeschooled”. There may be a referral to social services but any self respecting abuser can wriggle their way out of any allegation pretty easily. Case closed, child is isolated. Mission is accomplished. I firmly believe that in almost every single circumstance, a child should be sent to school. It provides a way to socialise, learn, play, and even for those children who are less fortunate to escape what’s happening at home. Children aren’t able to speak for themselves and they most certainly aren’t able to defend themselves. Having said all that, obviously not all parents who homeschool their children are monsters. There are obviously some children who excel at home, but they can just as easily fall through the cracks developmentally, emotionally and physically. In the real world, your parent won’t be your boss, your coworker, your teacher.

[@josephlh1690]

You know, it would have been less heated if the guy who was fixing the code provided an explanation as to what the benefits would be before going in and fixing it. Just ask Linus Torvalds. Second, do we have any confirmation as to what coding format he was using? Was it C? C++? C#? Microsoft basic? Python? Javascript? What about graphics? Opengl? Vulkan? Direct X? Sdl 2.0? It can make a world of difference when it comes to slowing down development time. For example, choosing to code in C++ can be two to five times as time consuming as coding in regular C, not to mention it is much more fickle and easy to break then C. Either way, it sounds like Yandere dev could be a slopy coder.

[@MissRandomNomad0o]

[@phosspatharios9680]

​@@josephlh1690Alex was using UnityScript, which is a mangled and messed up custom version of Javascript. It is so incredibly bad and under performing Unity has dropped it and now it only uses C#. And even in the C# code Alex eventually whipped out, it is grossly unoptimized and mired in practices typical of those who don't have much tact with basic programming (such as using long if-else cases instead of switch cases, unwittingly unrolling loops because you don't know how to iterate on arrays, generating garbage every frame with certain Unity methods, etc). There is someone who decompiled the project and looked it inside of Unity and saw all that and much worse.

[@yabe-kfptentacultist]

The guy who tried to fix the code was part of tinybuild so it wasn't some random guy.

[@TheMultiTasker3]

Yandere Sim is made in Unity. Unity uses C# as it's default programming language. So Yandere Sim is probably coded in C#. If I remember correctly it was Alex himself that said that the game ran better after the help from Tinybuild. The main reason he broke off from them is because he "could no longer read the code." So yeah, basically, instead of learning from the more experienced dev and using their help to improve his game, he just threw a hissy fit that someone was better than him and just pretended that never happened.

[@squiddler7731]

That first encounter with Mike almost reads like a prophecy of what would become of YandereDev. He got fairly reasonable criticism from a respected game developer, but instead of growing from it he regressed. He didn't learn how to make his game better, he "learned" that people around him thought he was a shitty developer even though no one believed that at the time. Right from the start he convinced himself that people just hated him and were out to get him, and he internalized that lesson so hard that he became exactly the sort of awful person that he was convinced everyone already saw him as.

I feel like he fell hard into a pretty common trap that people with self esteem issues have. He took criticism as an attack against him or insult against him.

I was gonna write a big thing about a research project I did on YandereDevs "Sex Test Licence" thing... (if we take all the factors he mentions into it) And I found that it would actually raise the "age of consent" as the age results in most cases was higher than 18. So it's very likely to result with someone aged 20+ a range of 20-26 being most likely to start being eligible for this licence. With 21 being the most likely minimum age and 25 being the most likely highest age. A lot of 18-22 year olds actually failed each of the tests I made, even failed in interviews where I got a lot of Qualitative data. (there was some other interesting stuff, but that's not relevant to YandereDev's lisence) Cheating would be possible, but it seems that "knowing" about sex doesn't make you mature enough, so YandereDev couldn't easily groom a child into obtaining a licence. He'd have to do the test for them. Unless he's implying he is the one screening them and it's based on his understanding of sexual maturity.... though... I wonder if YandereDev would fail the test, because of his mentality on the subject. Since it's main purpose would be made to stop harm to yourself or others from acts of sex by giving you a licence instead of an age. Ironic really. It just looks like it would be his foil if someone else did it correctly. Kinda like... his game XD

@@char1211 It was multiple projects and researches that had nothing to do with YandereDev I just cross did some of my findings with pre-existing research. I then just got a handful of participants and gave them small questions I had more personalised to this topic over my University course topic. I can’t give you anything on it because I never got round to compiling it for my dissertation which would have been cool. But the subject topic I was originally doing, which was, Criminal Acts through Social Power Differences, unfortunately made it classed as unethical because I basically got people admitting to crimes in my results. So it didn’t get a go ahead… So not allowed to release info on them abusing positions of power in the work place. Probably because I was meant to give the participants some other types of forms to fill out. (Dw, if you’re concerned it’s about SA, it’s not, it was mostly the stealing of property of companies they work in) But no, yeah. I would provide something here for you. But a questionnaire is such a rubbish way to get good info. You asking because you’re interested in what sort of maturity you would come under? I guess a big question that you should ask yourself is, “Is it important to have?”, “What does it give me?”, “how much do I consider my partner?” And then things like, “Am I affected by other people’s opinions on it?”, “How susceptible am I to content I deem desirable?”, “Are there levels to my attractions that I am aware of and can differentiate between?” These are just things you can think on, even discuss with someone. You could talk about fetishes or something. Normally if your answers lack awareness of a “bigger picture” of sorts that’s one telltale sign of immaturity. It’s hard to explain, qualitative data would show everyone does express themselves very differently but it’s this less hormonal driven or self-awareness that has a big factor for maturity. I dunno if any of this helps, I honestly originally wrote that comment because I was bored and the video played in the background while I was working, would have been fine if it never got any interest.

It's similar to how people think breastfeeding is 'sexual' and 'inappropriate' when it's just a mother feeding her baby.

[@tetraxis3011]

I get what you are saying but you are in a way, wrong. Things like hips, which as you said are needed for successful procreation, are instinctual preferences when it comes to mating, as its instinctual to try to give the next generation a better chance of survival. That is also why women look for strwngth and heinght, among others, in men. This behavior is not unique to humans, as Male lions fight for mating privileges, and the strongest wins said privileges. This is still not an excuse for the atrocities that Yanderedev commited.

i super appriciate you looking into his past, before alex was... alex? Ive seen a few videos about this and so far none of them explained that he was homeschooled had little to no social life during is younger years, which honestly explains why he acts like child still even as an adult. Not an excuse for acting like this, he seriously needs to get help and check himself, even if he's already wrecked himself Love your videos!

[@DefinitelyBoredOranges]

THANK YOUUUU

[@YuyuHakurei]

This isn't necessarily a bad thing if your personality is more anti social. The problem with him is likely that he is social and was abused. School is where you learn to interact too, but some people can learn that in like a week. I've met a lot of people whose parents are a piece of shit and he acts just like them. I am automatically going to think less of you if you homeschool your kids as well without good reason. The only good reason is if you tried and they couldn't get along with other kids. When you homeschool because you are a conspiracy theorist or something similar then it just opens a portal for abuse to happen. While he turned into a weirdo I don't blame him for turning out that way. We know very little of his actual background and only know of what he turned into. Especially in my school days where every other teacher was a pedo or child abuser.

[@southernflight5078]

​@YuyuHakurei and to add a little tidbit that usually goes ignored in these cases. Victims that haven't gotten the proper help or care they need to move past their trauma do tend to become the abuser in the future. So I'd definitely be wary of his parents if there were no proper reasons for homeschooling him.

[@YuyuHakurei]

@@southernflight5078 He does personally need to deal with the whole going after underage girls on Discord thing though. No amount of abuse excuses that. xD

While im not surpised that Yandere dev is like this, the signs were always there, this is just truly sickening. Especially the video records and him guilt tripping his victim, i had to take a break off the video for rhe last few mintues because of that. I am so happy that so many people are starting to pull their support from the game, I wish that the victim can escape that man's grasp and be able to heal from this experience.

Honestly, even before this came out, this guy was a terrible developer. Especially when I personally emailed Yandere-dev multiple times giving him suggestions for the game and to ask him why the game isn't what he promised it would be. What I got from the replys from said emails was that Yandere-simulator is the type game to occasionally receive updates and that it outgrew the whole eliminate 10 girls thing and that if you want the type of game he promised, then play 1980s mode in Yandere Simulator. The only way the main mode of Yandere Simulator would get the 10 rivals it was promised was if people gave him money.

As a game dev Yandere Sim is a cautionary tale of working on the dream game without preparation The best thing to do in hindsight is start small like a visual novel before working your way up to the actual dream game(especially with the age of AI's code assistance in the case of my own project).

[@LostProxyNevermore]

6:21 this is where I think we need to make an important distinction. Doms or daddies in kink relationship may want a submissive partner with these qualities but see, the difference is, it’s consenting ADULTS. Has nothing at all to do with actual children or being attracted to kids. I just thought this was an important thing to note in general but nah, see, with THIS Yandev doesn’t want a submissive partner, he wants a literal child 💀 I ALWAYS had a really bad inclination about this guy, but I ignored it for some reason. I probably second guessed myself and thought “maybe he’s just a strange dude.” Yeah he’s strange alright. Mentally disturbed 😭💀

[@WolfRoseQUEEN]

At this point Yandere Dev can't even use his money to get himself a prostitute to get rid of his virginity, because he is the kind of person that prostitutes would *despise* . Actually he's probably been like that for his entire adulthood.

[@maximilianwalker5961]

IDK how I managed to go years without finding out anything about this guy. It was a roller coaster of emotions watching this video. At first, I felt a bit bad for him, since he just seemed mentally unwell and like he needed to be taught right from wrong, but that quickly changed with his approach to any criticism, and then with the attacking, then getting to the pedophilia- good god. I would like to say that my SO was homeschooled all their life and has basically lived online, but never had the proper face-to-face interactions to communicate with others outside of their family. They, however, would never be anywhere like this. They're sweet, kind, and most of all, they're always trying to do what they can to help others and to get things done. I read somewhere here a comment about the reason for his degenerousy and anger being that he was homeschooled and wasn't properly taught how to handle criticism because of the fact he wasn't socializing enough. While I agree to a degree, there are parents out there who teach there kids the difference between criticism and critiquing, which is why my SO understands when they ask for help and get positive and negative feedback. It's not about the fact that Yanderedev was taught to be like this- it's that that's just who he is, combined with having not been properly taught. Oh and he's human garbage. I hope he goes to jail.

You know, like Alex, i once wanted to be a game developer many years ago. However i rediscovered a passion for creative writing thanks to a mentor of mine who encouraged me to pursue a major in literature and creative writing, which i will graduate soon. I am glad i didn't become a game developer and ive never looked back since. I sm currently working on a novel that I hope to get published. Why am i bringing this up? Alex could have made a few different choices and gone down a different path instead of the traninwreck he has created for himself. Alex Mahan could have been a writer instead, snd have published a few books or whatever by now instead of being an incompetent game developer. He has written fanfiction in his younger years (sure it was creepy and disturbing, but there was some potential and talent there). Yandere Simulator could have made for a compelling novel instead of a video game. Wnat a waste of potential and i pity Alex for wasting a decade of his life. He could have listened to Mike Zaimont and either cut his losses and chosen a different profession like being a writer, or gone back to game design school (or at least do CS and learn how to code properly) and honed his craft and learnt the basic fundamentals of game development before making YS. Unfortunately he didn't listen and the rest is history i guess.

[@phosspatharios9680]

Alex is living proof of something I tell Incels like himself often: even if you attain success, you are in no condition of maintaining such success and dealing with what it entails. We all need to improve not only make it through the cutting line, but also to stay beyond it, because any standard of life above underemployed bachelor and NEET entails responsibilities, liabilities and compromises that are almost always taken for granted and ignored by idealists. I have lived like Alex for a few years and I can tell that it's inevitable that one may grow accostumed to the freedom of being a nobody who noone relies on so you can do and say whatever, and live by no expectations nor scrutiny. It takes a lot of growing pains and harsh lessons to learn that the gutter is not real world. It happens for the better when degenerates die in the rock bottom of the well, because those who crawl out of it without shedding away their degeneracy end up being like Alex or even worse.
