Some game developers update their priorities when they realize that their game has the potential to become more than it was originally planned to be, and I think that’s okay.įor these reasons, I never feel shame or embarrassment over the game’s lengthy development time, and I feel that the people who attempt to denigrate Yandere Simulator for being in development for 9 years are missing the point of the game. Some games focus on providing the player with fun sandbox gameplay rather than a story mode, and I think that’s okay. Some games are periodically updated with improvements and additions over a long period of time, and I think that’s okay. And, honestly, I feel like there is nothing wrong with making that decision. So, I switched my focus from the main story mode to regularly updating the game with new features and activities. I decided that expanding the game to include as much content as possible was more meaningful than just implementing 10 characters. The hard part is getting people to judge Yandere Simulator based on the many hours of fun content that the game offers, instead of judging Yandere Simulator exclusively by the number of characters who are not yet in the game.Īs I developed Yandere Simulator, I realized that it could offer more value than just being a game where you just kill 10 girls and watch the credits roll. It’s actually quite simple to describe Yandere Simulator. Well, it’s a free sandbox game that receives multiple updates every month, which contains one complete story mode, one incomplete story mode, and many different side-activities. Is it a prototype? A demo? A v-slice? What the hell is it?
Is it complete, or incomplete? It’s both, since 1980s Mode is complete, but the main story mode is not. So, is Yandere Sim an “early access” game like Minecraft was? Kinda, but not really. It doesn’t have microtransactions, or any kind of payment model centered around monetizing each new addition to the game.Įven though Yandere Sim is not finished yet, you can do a lot of different activities and mess around in it like a sandbox. So, is Yandere Sim a “live service” game like Genshin Impact? Kinda, but not really.
Yandere Sim is regularly updated with new features and content.
The majority of the game’s development has been spent making improvements and additions to the sandbox gameplay, not the putting rivals into the main story mode. So, is Yandere Sim an “episodic” game like The Walking Dead? Kinda, but not really. Each of those characters will be released one by one, like episodes for a TV show. Yandere Sim’s main story mode is about eliminating 10 “rival” characters.
