Sweet! Can't wait to see what this produces!

good luck with the partening
A string walks into a bar with a few friends and orders a beer. The bartender says, "I'm sorry, but we don't serve strings here." The string goes back to his table. He ties himself in a loop and messes up the top of his hair. He walks back up to the bar and orders a beer. The bartender squints at him and says, "Hey, aren't you a string?" The string says, "Nope, I'm a frayed knot."
It is always good to have someone who help... even company :)
Take a vacation senpai!!! at least 2 months in my opinion
You should take a vacation, Senpai you deserve it!
YandereDev, YadereDev! Please do not abandon the Kickstarter idea! You can do both if you want (Kickstarter with Osana and Alpha with 3 rivals), but please keep the Kickstarter! As of now, I'm more interested in Let's Plays than playing the game myself, but if I could get could get to name a student (even if it's a "high school population" random generated student), that would be amazing! Actually, these could be reward tiers: name random student, name+design random student, name club member, name+design club member, name+design club leader (Kickstarter allows for limited amounts of backers to certain tiers, right?). I'd be tremendously interested in that and willing to pay. But there's no way to get that if there's no Kickstarter. P.S. I'm very happy for you and the game, Yandere Dev :) However, I stand by my previous comment: don't overwork yourself to death. Don't work 7 days a week, take vacations, watch anime and play video games. Like a normal 9 to 5 worker does. You don't have to slave away and burn out. So take care of yourself :)
I support this partnership and will continue to patron you. The quality of the game will certainly improve.
I'd like to know what was meant when you said there will not be AO content. I assume you mean nudity/sex/rape but with what you can do in the game now and some of the mechanics you are looking to put in later the game could easily get an AO rating in many countries without any sex, rape or nudity. Will the game have to be rated by something like the ESRB/PEGI or is it more Tinybuild preferring to stay away from games with pornographic or greater levels of sexual content? I could see many things about the game needing to be altered to get through a ratings board with less than an AO rating but if it is just Tinybuild saying "We like what we see, just don't add X" (content you did not plan on adding anyway) then I see no issues.
This isn't the sort of thing where I can answer "Yes" or "No", because the answer is much more complicated than that. It'll be handled on a case-by-case basis.
I am so happy for you YanDev :) I hope this also opens the possibility to replace the Unity-Asset-Store models. I'd love to finally see new models for students!
I hope this allows you to implement customizable and randomized school layouts like you've mentioned in the past.
The CEO of tinyBuild believes that this will be a huge selling point of the game (user-created content). I agree. It will be one of the things we build the new codebase around.
TinyBuild looks like an amazing idea! ;)
What happened to the kick-starter can't you do both? (I was hoping on that, and it would maintain hype while giving time for ports + allows one off payments) and below 18? Is that set in stone? OMD YanDev Senpai Responded to me **faints**
It hasn't gone away. It's just one of multiple potential options.
I'm seeing that some of the income from patreon have been cut by patrons I'm sure it won't drop bellow the 4k per m Well, my decision to raise the amount last month have come to be usefull after all Good luck in this new adaptation phase and I wish you guys have a good synergy working together
Hmm... tinyBuild and YandereDev... I ship it! :D Congratulations on the partnership, Dev! I'm so happy for you!
I can't tell you how happy I am that you've taken this next step toward game progress and time management. I hope this game becomes something you'll be proud of!
Help me sempai, im throwing money at the screen and its not working...
I'll continue pledging for now with a plan to stop when I buy the alpha. I'm curious if you still plan to port the game to the newer engine and rewrite the code in C#. Are you planning to let tinyBuild and their hired developer make that decision?
The game should most certainly be ported to Unity 5 and converted to C#. tinyBuild will be handling this.
Congrats on the partnership! And you're so close to your goal too, it looks like the project is doing good!
Congrats on your partnership with tinyBuild! I hope that you will be able to achieve what you need from working with them. I am also looking forward toward the fruits of labor that come from this business deal. My question is: will you still be providing a debug build for us to test periodically? Or is this feature going away?
You'll get free debug builds up until Osana is released. Post-Osana, you'll need to pay for access to future debug builds.
That's great news! This will make Yandere Simulator's development much more swift! :3
Hey that's great news for everyone involved I think. Having a reliable business partnership is, as you said, a difficult decision. I do have a couple small concerns, mostly things that aren't any of my business. One such concern being: Why exactly has tinyBuild decided to form a partnership with you; what exactly are they gettIng out of this deal? Or are my concerns completely unfounded and they are simply in this to support a great project?
They are getting a percentage of the game's profits. This arrangement means that I make less money, but that's a sacrifice that I am willing to make, to ensure that the final product that you receive is higher-quality than it would have been without a company's help.
Very supportive of this decision. You maintain creative control and you finally get to free yourself to manage the game while someone else makes progress with the code. You've done it. You've made it. Congratulations. I'm very proud to contribute to this patreon. Keep up the great work, and go take a week off after you get the team set up.
Thanks for the info. ;) I will definitely explore it.
So when are we expecting to get a chance to pay for the alpha or beta or whatever?
I want to say May at the soonest and July at the latest, but game development is very unpredictable, so I don't want to make any promises.
