Mid October 2017 Progress Report
In my newest video, I highlighted some of the noteworthy aspects of the latest build, and also discussed some topics that I’ve been yearning to talk about. In short, there are two concerns I wanted to put to rest:
1. A lack of progress on Osana doesn't mean an overall lack of progress; Osana is just one item on the checklist of everything that I need to accomplish, and I am always making progress on some part of that checklist.
2. It's not very fun to build a game without models or textures; staring at pure white geometric shapes can get pretty boring. So, during the first half of Yandere Simulator's development, some of the game's assets were downloaded from the Internet to make things easier on the eyes. Some people have described this as "theft" or "stealing", and I wanted to make it as clear as possible that I have absolutely no intention of releasing a game containing assets I don't own the rights to use. Now that we are approaching the end of the "debug sandbox" phase of the game's development, replacing all temporary placeholder assets is much higher on my priority list.
I fear that this video will come off as slightly defensive - but I still attempted to make it as entertaining as possible, and tried to spend the majority of my time talking about actual progress on the game.
Thank you for following the development as Yandere Simulator!

I had just come here to cancel my pledge since I hadn't really been following the dev lately but I decided to watch this video and I do see that work is being done, so I will keep my pledge! Keep up the good work and I hope others can see the work being done as well.
It always bothered me when I saw haters blogging about how "yanderedev has tricked his audience that he's making progress when he's doing nothing" and "yanderedev steals artwork/doesnt credit the artist properly". I'm really happy that he has addressed both of these things in this video. Go Yanderedev!!
If there are any other claims that you've heard that have been bothering you, feel free to send me a private message me about it, and I'll give you my side of the story and/or try to find a way to address it in a future video.
Thank you for always being so open/transparent about the game's progress! As always, thank you for developing Yandere Simulator.
I'm so excited about all the progress you've made recently. The end is in sight!
Dev is great, don't dismay, he's going to win the game!
