Just so you guys know, I scripted this video before the detailed overview on the 1980s mode dropped. I did notice quite a few disturbingly similar new mechanics added to the 1980s mode (ex. the Ideas Notepad, an asylum stealth level, multiple endings based on which elimination route you take) but I don't have enough evidence to make any claims. It is very annoying though, because it feels like he's copying my homework, so to speak.

i actually enjoyed the 1980s mode more than the main game. im more invested in the characters, plot, etc. ayano is kind of a boring protagonist, and ryoba isnt perfect, but her design is pretty and shes more entertaining. i really liked the “ideas” notepad. yandev had soo much potential to make a good main game.

the 90s mode actually has more recognisable, aesthetically-pleasing character design compared to the 20s mode. it’s not enough yet, but it brings the spotlight back to how bad Ayano and her rivals are designed. the basic models and unappealing designs subtract any possible audience attachment or (almost nonexistent) charisma, leading to the unreplayability that our queen calli had pointed out. Edit: ty for reminding me! It should be 80s instead of 90s. Also, I see how you guys told me that they are less recognisable than the ogs like osana. We have different opinions, and that’s alright! I appreciate the input a lot.

Let’s be real here, Minecraft Steve has more personality then Yan-chan.

it’ll be great if he gets new voice actors as well. it just removes the immersion when Ryoba sounds like Ayano, because they have different personalities/public personas, and the voices should reflect that. Granted, Miss Michaela Laws’s voice acting is amazing, but Ryoba needs a more gentle, softspoken, slightly saccharine tone of voice, since her entire filling of the court is based on her acting. her speaking ‘femininely’ would also softens her suspicious edges when she ‘defends’ herself and manipulate others.

1980's mode is more fun, because of these points - Ryoba is a more invested MC, with a better building block - Info chan ruined the main game, i mean, you could literally just.... cheat to win? - Yan-Sim is borning, with reused animations so often, - BUT! !! !! Ryoba isnt perfect, also, 1980s might have been sir yan-dev trying to get people to pay more attention to him again

Pretty dishonest that he said "all ten rivals will be done!" When he wasn't talking about the main story. And the fact that he was so sneaky about it too, like "oh I never said it was the main story, so you can't say I lied!"

ryoba is so much better than ayano, but 1980s mode shows how unplanned the game mechanics are. by week 3 you can have completely filled skills and it’s possible to bully your rivals out of school before class on monday lmao

The fact Ryoba saw her "senpai" in her dreams and now wants him, and more classic "yandere" behavior is better than a girl who has no emotions, cannot feel emotions and looks like the most basic, blank character. However, I think some better planning and thought could've been processed.

Literally when my brother told me that yan dev apparently finished 1980's mod I literally said "Oh Calli's gonna have a field day". Seriously tho i dont get why he did a 1980s mode NOW and not After yan sim original was actually finished. Edit: Btw is it just me or, did it look like in the teaser, like he gave Ryoba a more.. curvier? Figure when shes in the city, or maybe that was just a trick to my eyes from the clothing? Idk

I find it so funny that in his video he literally says “unlike Ayano, her mother has more of a personality” I’m like,,,, why can’t you do the same for Yan-chan??? In fact, why can’t you just take the tutorial from 80s mode and translate that to the main game too? When you think about it, he has all the shit he needs right there in front of him with this new mode. He just needs to add that, do the “Kickstarter”, (which honestly I don’t think that’s gonna happen given how many times he was like “i’M gOnNa dO iT gUyS” and just made up excuses for why he’s not doing it) and then put out the game unceremoniously. Because it’s not really about the game anymore it’s about just getting it over and done with so we never have to deal with it again.

I feel like 1980s mode was just YanDev trying to recapture anyone that was part of the huge craze in 2016 to try and get his anime murder game funded through nostalgia.

i honestly felt like if there was a different endings to the 1980's mode where the delinquent's older brother actually finishes his sentence and maybe things turn out different for ryoba. maybe if yan dev tried the idea of making taro actually share some interests with the rivals, maybe he can cook well and Ayano bonds with him on that, maybe she can actually speak to him, maybe give up background to way she fell inlove with him, maybe for eliminating rivals, you don't commit bloody murder on every occasion and maybe ryoba came to her senses in adulthood and when she realized her daughter is a yandere she taught her a passive way of winning the guy's heart. yet Ayano didn't care and went snooping through her mother's stuff and found the journal, they way to do what she wants, but she's pulled back because, what if ryoba's senpai left her after ayano was born, that she actually fell inlove with someone else and didn't kill people for it, wich led to a healthy loving relationship where Ayano was raised by a stepfather who loved her and her mother back

Also, the 1980's mode *isn't even **_really_** finished.* There's task placeholders that are _cut and paste_ for _every single_ student. Worse yet, it _says right in the dialogue_ that they're *_only placeholders._* Like, idk about all y'all but I wouldn't go the store and pay full price for 1/2 of a TV that claims to be a full TV on the package...

I love the intro! And honestly, I always liked Ryoba more than Ayano too. It's probably because of her hair though, I don't know why I just love it so much

the fact 1980's mode has more story than the actual game it was supposed to be, he might as well make 1980s mode the game itself since it's done

absolutely agree on needing actual stories to make or break the indie games. good characters make up the charisma of the game for real as well. i’m the type that if there’s a good story or lore to dig and theorise, i’ll dive head first into it, even if i might not know how to play it. yandev has to actually get good writers because oh god, he is unable to write compelling characters and interesting story. the character designs and backstories right now are also too lacklustre to attract lore geeks like me to even glance at it.

YandereDev made this new mode to "prove that he can make the game and that we can trust him", this doesn't give me any reason to trust him at all, the mode isn't even complete, and that's too bad! He can use this game as another excuse to waste his time, as there are so many things to update, YandereDev himself said he's going to change and update the mode, and in addition to that mode we also have the real game that also needs updates! That is, now there are TWO games that he can change and use this to extend the time instead of finishing the game all at once, because if he really wanted to finish the game he would have used that time working in the real game instead of this new mode.

I've honestly given up on yandev. He's clearly not invested in his game and I honestly feel like he does the bare minimum to keep his team involved and make everyone think he has it under control... But your content, on the other hand, is alot more passionate. You can see the love and time and even life experience that you have with this story. I genuinely hope one day that you make a visual novel or game with this its amazing❤❤❤❤

When you showed mad father, I talked about how much endless joy that gave me and how I could watch different people play it for there reactions. THAT is why you need a good story, a story brings you back, fun gameplay also might bring you back. However without a good story you'll drop it in seconds. Basically Good story can keep you interested for years. (I don't know if I made any sense)

I feel like the only lore we ever got was after the S+ rank ending, and even then I think he just made a cool teaser without a idea in mind

I was interested to hear your perspective on this. You always word everything I've been thinking so eloquently

Yandev knows nothing about writing I've read one publish 80's Echi manga written by a 16 year old better then the characters yandev "wrote". RPG maker games are normally made by very few people and are always full of heart and people who really loved there work, hell Pink House ,Hang man and Mad father where some of the best horror games I've played and all you did was click random walls. Doki Doki is another thats often compare to yandere simulator. It took one poem and I was in love with Yuri and to watch her fall apart was horrible and that was all the same tropes yandev is using but to its full potential.

Am I the only one who feels like these rivals don't seem special in any sort of way. Sure they have cool designs but aside from Ryoba's commentary I would have 0 reason to believe any of these "special" traits. I would've preferred experiencing that by actually stalking them as Ryoba instead of her feeding the player the elimination method and their whole schmiz right from the jump. Also the elimination methods that are apparently unique to them aren't that unique. The only unique one I consider would maybe be the electrocution method on the 6th rival and its literally such an easy elimination. None of them felt more challenging than the other and honestly you could just run up and kill them all and win but just get an F rating. That seems redundant but technically the goal is to kill them all so..?? And there weren't endings so to speak just rankings and if you got S+ you saw a cut scene after the credits and a timeline which we already have knowledge of. I liked the aesthetic and designs sure but I was pretty dissapointed not that that's surprising. He basically just put 10 demo Osanas in the game with different designs, some commentary, and slightly different dialogue. Note: I did prefer Ryoba over Ayano though but her senpai still felt just as bland despite having "reasons" to like certain rivals.

Yandere Dev is just digging himself deeper in the hole he has made, might as well make it a grave instead. The game has potential, Yandere Dev doesn't. He is just going to come up with excuse to excuse for his incompetence and stubbornness. When he decides to grow up (never going to happen though), he might actually make a game with a good storyline people will respect and love (not gonna happen anytime soon) I totally agree, he should just scrap the idea of making a game with Ayano as the protagonist for the foreseeable future. Or just, not at all, that's an option. Much better to put more time and effort into improving the story of the 1980's mode. Also when it comes to the rivals, I want everyone to know my opinion must be taken with an entire bucket of salt, I haven't done proper analysis and research on them so I can't say if they're good characters or not. But by the physical designs, they aren't as "iconic" or "unique" of the OG rivals, but they're definitely less controversial in nature and less of the "Stereotypes Harem" group of rivals. Again, I can't say if they are better in character, but does anything really think that nothing can be more "amazing" than the OG rivals? And the answer is that it takes very little I'm not surprised he would steal your ideas, they are way better than his. But let's be honest, does it take that much to create ideas better than his? I'm sorry for the long comment. My opinion mustn't be accounted as fact, apologies if I get any evidence wrong, I haven't done the right amount of research to be confident in my opinion. I'm stoked to see your redesign of Hanako, Senpai's little sister and personal cling-on

Honestly the only reason I still pay attention to Yan Sim is Michaela Laws, who's one of my favorite voice actors XD

I've honestly enjoyed 1980s mode so much more than the main game, and the main reason for that is the absence of info-chan. I love the crafting mechanic and would like to see it more fleshed out for use in the main game. The characters are still very one dimensional and the story still needs a lot of work but 1980s mode has done more to demonstrate the potential this game has than the demo could. That being said the game needs a lot of work, I managed to eliminate all but 3 of the rivals on Monday and the only reason I didn't eliminate those 3 so early is because the elimination method I used required the whole week to be completed. The yakuza beat'em up mini game really threw off the vibe, but since I got it out of the way on Monday in the first week it didn't really affect my experiance too much. The Yakuza is a terrible feature tho. Its not a bad idea, but its basically like having infochan. I kidnapped 1 girl and sold her to the yakuza and that one girl gave me more money than I ever needed to spend, so I didn't need to do the part time job at all. The yakuza gives the player entirely too much power, and a good way to change that would be to remove the randsom feature completely. Without the randsom players will have incentive to actually use the part time job and make money to save up for the harder rivals down the road as a last resort option. Honestly, the biggest issue I see as far as gameplay right now is that its way to easy to just skip through the game. If I can eliminate my rivals on the first day every week I have no reall reason to hang around school or go to town for the rest of the week. One or two trips to town is all you need to buy all the stuff you'll need, and with the right underwear you only need to spend like 4 weeks going to class to max your stats. The majority of my time in game was spent speeding through the days by just going straight to class, alocating stats, skipping lunch, and going home. The game doesn't have enough interest to keep layers invested outside of eliminating rivals, and when rivals can be eliminated as early as Monday of each week the game quickly becomes boring and tedious once they're out of the way. The crafting mechanic added some incentive to explore the school to find materials and craft tools you need, but the only tool you really need is a lock pick, and there is no recipie system that tells you how to make things so you won't know unless you look it up, and even after you make something for the first time, the required components aren't written down anywhere to keep track of. I'll say 1980s mode is off to a great start, but it needs a lot of work and polish in order to be a well rounded gaming experiance. As a side note: there are also a lot of unnecessary features like the serial killer hair stylist, she serves no purpose other than to provide what is essentially tutorial information that you have to pay ten bucks a pop to access. And the bulk of her info is specifically about how the highschool functions, and it doesn't really make sense for this adult serial killer to know all the ins and outs of murder in a highschool. Shes could be easily replaced by just moving all the information she has to the tutorial menu we already have in the notepad.

Camren:Ryoba is a real yandere Calli: yeah she is *silence intensifies* what else? Me:cackling

I find Ryoba and the "father" senpai to be more interesting than Ayano and the original senpai. Especially with the 1980s senpai since at least, he has some personality. I think Yandere simulator is a very flawed game with more than one problematic thing, but I actually like a couple of things about it. I like the student council, Megami and the stories behind her family, and a few videos Yandere dev made! That said, I find your revamps more interesting and I like your revamped characters better than the original one.

i feel like the 80's mode is better than the normal mode, the rivals are so quirky and if they got unique tasks and voice acting it would be 10x better

Ah, yes. I think the 1980's mode should be the main story, too. It's has a cuter protagonist, more relatable and lovable rivals, no info-chan, the headmaster is cheerful... But the 1980's mode still has YanSim's major problem: Ryoba and her senpai have no interaction through the entire walkthrough, which makes me unable to believe they can fall in love with each other. By the way, I complete a route by befriending rivals only(the Yakuza-free route IMO). Because I hate the Senpai, he is literally not the type of guy that girls like(Ryoba-chan, he really doesn't deserve you). I befriend everyone so the Senpai can remain single. Happy ending. The Saikou corp plotline is unnecessary, seriously...

basically the dev isn’t doing what he should’ve been doing and calli makes more valid points that he either steals without credit or completely neglects in using to improve- ugh him being a bad person/dev is making me feel guilty for even trying to be nice to his 90s mode

1980s mode is basically "when your mom is a more interesting Protagonist than you are"

I haven't finished the video yet, but I thoroughly ADORE the idea of Ryoba passing on her journal to Ayano! Mainly because I am a huge fan of the Sly Cooper series and that idea gives me major Thievius Raccoonus vibes! A book passed down in the Aishi family for any potential yandere to gain inspiration from and also add ideas to themselves? I love it!! ❤️ Edit: While having any direct hope for YanSim as a whole is difficult if not outright impossible at this point, it absolutely would have been a smart move to just make Ryoba's story the main game and then tease a potential sequel involving her daughter or even a game that follows the sister Ryoba apparently has (assuming the "Aishi curse", as I call it, also effects the sister). And assuming Ryoba does pass her knowledge down to her daughter, maybe Ayano's story could be about her struggle between going down the dark path of her mother and previous Aishi women before her, or trying to break the curse by forging a true connection with the man she loves. If her personality and the way she as a person would choose to eliminate people is largely undefined, then that would be a good angle for her story. Struggling to figure out who she wants to be and if she wants to follow in her family's footsteps or take inspiration from the kindhearted boy she's got a crush on and become a good person in her own right.

I really like the idea of Ryoba's story being the main story (since it's a lot more interesting) and Ayano's story being a teaser at the end. Ryoba's story has a lot more interesting factors than Ayano's and the characters of the 1980s are just more appealing in my opinion. I also think yan dev should consider redesigning some of his characters...

Honestly, I feel like he made all of this mess, completed a mod basically acting like the game when he could have made the actual game, and keeps stalling on finishing Yandere sim because, when that gets done, what will come next? Sure, he could keep releasing mods, but after the main game is done, his whole fanbase will leave him. There will be nothing left but the memories of a shit game with an even shittier game developer.

I always appreciate your insights. You explain everything wrong with yandere simulator in a very good way.

Everyone: Wow! 1980's mode of Yandere Simulador is amazing! I will send my feedback! Me: *waiting someone post the official images so I can download*

what triggered me the most was when yandev was making a big scene by posting on his blog "oh the 10 rivals update will be out soon" but like he never said that it was the 1980's mode. He gave a lot of people false hope. Some people thought he was even changing his ways, but no, it's still the same, stinky developer,

YES YES YES YES YES My one and only main problem is that how much rivals in this game have, ngl I probably got bored real quick if there is always a rival coming one by one every week. How come a random bland guy attracts every single girls, a NURSE and a TEACHER in this school? And the most important thing is that they don't have any appealing backstory yet which make it even more boring (even Taro/Ryoba's Senpi idk his name didn't have any character at all). Even with the minimum of atleast 5 rivals, you can expand the story based on your likings and how do you execute them (starting off from their background info, their connectivity with another person or such). Btw sorry if I keep ranting about this kind of thing everywhere, I just can't take it off from my mind.

Okay the 80s mode makes no sense, but it gave me the pleasure to watch Callimara draw Taro and Himari like this. I am a happy woman now. OBS: Please make them dress like this in the light novel history(maybe a school event about the anniversary of Akademi) , never asked you anything! Ah, and make the gotic girl and the drama club girl a lesbian couple, i guess it is everything folks

What's crazy is that Ryoba has more of a personality than her own daughter

I find the asylum stealth level quite disturbing, actually. It's about a creepy taking photos of young girls, which makes it even weirder and makes me uncomfortable. And the fact that it displays "Insane" people in that way, is also very disgusting. Most cases of people being "Insane" are due to conditions...and it seems like YanDev it just making fun of them in some way. Another factor is that they happen to be homeless. Which is putting down those people too...I feel as is the stealth level is REALLY problematic and some fans are just ignoring it.

Let's appreciate Callimara's intro real quick

I loved 1980s mode, maybe it's because I liked the KZfaqr who played it so much. It was very nice to look through.

*sigh* Alex will never change, huh?

I’ll be honest though, when he released that he was making 1980’s mode, I was PISSED. I just wish he would finish the game with the rivals he introduced originally. The idea was cool, but I wish he put that energy into oh, I don’t know? Actually finishing the game 🙃

Correction: most of yansim's fans used to be children hahaha It's been in development for a long time

While the 1980 mode was nice, to me it felt like another version of the current "sandbox" game to me. I follow Yandev's work since the very beginning and all i saw in that 1980 mode was nothing new nor special aside from the new dialogue and "cutscenes". Each rivals death felt like any students elimination. I'm kinda sad because Ryoba has potential (and the 80s mode) It felt bland underneath all the "fancy details". You know, like a pretty devorated cake who taste bad

Honestly, I really enjoyed playing 1980s mode but it was very repetitive and not much of a challenge. I could eliminate a rival in one day just from befriending them or getting them expelled immediately. Only times I couldn’t eliminate them in one day was because I tried different methods. It was fun, just got boring after a while and stale in the character design/personality.

This is a point my friend group makes, We stopped investing a long time ago and just play the mobile rip offs because they have more story especially this one with an i don't know ACTUAL story that isnt just "oh here comes a girl crushing on senpai lets take this knife and kill her" its full of life and actual characters and obstacles

Loving the intro it is amazing you deserve so much love 🤩

I think the rivals would be good if you were actually trying to have a relationship with the dude. Like use the whole month to win his heart and hope he chooses you. While other girls try to do the same. This game reminds me of artificial academy tbh.

To be honest it would be cooler if Yan-dev had Ayano be nice in the beginning. As in: she matchmakes, messes with her rivals (like with their bento or the book or start a rumor or something). In order for her to turn into a yandere you have to watch anime and read manga that has a lot of violence in it or hang around a gang, and after a few weeks/days she'll learn different ways to kill her future rivals. And it would be better if Ayano had more than one week to do stuff with the rival. So Senpai has time to like them and have a higher chance of accepting their confession. Also if Ayano and Senpai spent time together like: he tutored her or they talked about manga or anime or books or something that he likes so he actually has a reason to like her.

I am actually happy with the rivals. I know most of them need more character depth but at least they're no p3d0philes on the list. :D Edit: people think I'm talking about the original game I'm talking about the 1980's rivals my bad

I'm not surprised yandev likes ryoba more than ayano, bc yeah her frame is more his type but I also like her more too cuz she has a more unique design and a personality at the least. (She had more personality even just from the tapes than ayano did as a whole)

I like the new intro you made. Looks cute💖 To be honest with the 1980's Mode, I have mixed feelings for it: The only points I like are the 10 rivals, Ryoba and the school atmosphere/aesthetic with their mechanics. What I don't like is, that the models are still bland and some YanDev's old ideas are with a taste of... let's just say for his "pole" and being a people pleaser... And it could be much better

🌸I like the 1980's mode more than the original game but the rival's seem to be redundant! They have the same task and no individuality. I'm happy you made this video! Keep it up!🐰🌸

THE INTRO IS GORGEOUS 😭❤ I was literally waiting for this since the mode came out🛐 (Onto watching this masterpiece)

yansim feels like easy mode and 9080s is normal lmao also its so funny how the fight minigame has suspiciously similar features to honkai impact

Honestly, just get rid of the modern one and make this the real "yandere" simulator. More developed

I actually liked the 1980s mode....there was a lot of detailing and work put into it.... I honestly like it more than yan sim....

The Steven Universe part was unexpected, but thank you for reminding me of my favourite show of all time

dude made a complete game within a game instead of finishing the game that's been in development for 8 years. That's a whole new level of procrastination right there

in yandev's video talking about the 1980's mode, he said that it was a way to insert criticism given by the players (e.g ayano not really acting like a yandere, taro being a bit too bland for a bunch of really pretty girls to like him, etc.), it did get me wondering why he didn't implement those corrections to the actual game if not to correct his errors in a way that garners more attention. though i do love the format and how ryoba goes about her business being the yandere of her story

it’s 2:16 in australia, cali. i hope you aren’t actually awake

I really liked listening to your perspective. And have the same or a really simular opinion. I feel like in this case programming is like calligraphy, it does not matter how pretty you can write if you don’t know what to write. The story is what makes a book or in this instant a game special.

I'm gonna be honest, at this point, I just watch those mmd yansim soap opera stuff (like seriously the creators have it in spanish as the main language and everything) and frankly, those are MUCH more interesting and enjoyable. So yeah fan content is better than actual content. Who would've thunk!

I always loved Ryoba way more than Ayano so 1980s actually really excited me when it started and now that it’s basically this own game I kinda...like it?

Your intro is so aesthetic I love it jssjaj

I used to love to watch cub scouts play yandere sim. And draw the characters. But learning about yandere dev and him just being a all around douche bag. I love your revamp of the story

I think that with a little polishing on the writting, voice lines, giving a more varied routines (weekly events with senpai) to the rivals and maybe the idea of having interactions with senpai prior to the ending, this mode would be an actually good YanSim standalone game! i mean sure it had the nature of several minigames mashed together, but the minigames feel a little less intrusive and more fitting to the estereotypical nature of a yandere, it feels with just the enought variety of content to make it a nice but rather short indie game AND GOD YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT HOW THE ABSENCE OF INFO CHAN MAKES THE DIFFERENCE, THE GAME IN THIS MODE FEELS SO MUCH BEARABLE WITHOUT HER, although yandev at the end of the day included a way of having "schemes" it does feel more compelling to me and less "handed" cause now at least i have to "pay" and do something to unlock even the ability to acess the mechanic, wich at least makes it slightly more interesting even being such an easy process to acces the schemes.

I liked 1980's mode to be honest, it was quite fun and figuring things out instead of just going to info-chan and her telling you every step of what you need to do was slightly more challenging and I liked it, though I can tell playing through your rewrite as a game would definitely be more interesting and a better experience overall. Also while anyone can use the ideas of things such as an asylum I find it slightly suspicious that YanDev included those things after you spoke of including them in your rewrite...

I havent played yandere simulator myself, but I watched jay play it. I was pleasantly suprised with some if the features. But I do feel like Yan Sloth made it to save his back (and to prove a point)

I feel like if yandere dev made Ayano like the Ayano in the star crossed lovers music video it would make her relatable and an interesting character.

This game has SO much potential. I actually like 1980s mode and hope Yandev becomes self aware but sadly I am not very confident that will happen

While I agree that frame rate and spaghetti code are focused on way too much, I’m gonna have to disagree with your statement that story matters most. I see this a lot in the gaming industry where devs will have this whole fantastical story but have unpolished gameplay and it really suffers because of that. Gameplay is the core of any game and it’s how we interact with the entire media. Without gameplay there is no game. You can have the best story in history but no one is gonna wanna experience it if they have to force themselves to get through slow and boring gameplay. If you want story to be the sole focus with no polished gameplay, make a visual novel or write a book because maybe games aren’t the best media to tell your story. Yandev actually polished up some gameplay in this 1980s thing. I haven’t played it myself but from the looks of it he made the rivals much more satisfying to eliminate, made other methods of killing much more accessible, rewarded you for exploring and talking to students, added a goddamn tutorial, more interesting obstacles for later rivals that force you to think outside the box, made a grading system, and even specific elimination methods for each rival. Its honestly impressive how much he improved with this. To bad it’s not the main game lmao

1980 mode has a amazing plot and creativity I’ve love Ryoba ever since she was announced she was such a interesting character, she’s not plain and boring, she actually has a personality I’d rather play a whole game about her than the Yan sim we have now.

I have a question though: Will you redesign the 1980s rivals too ?

Hey Calli you seemed to be having trouble with the sketch/anatomy! I hope I can help with a few tips but I'm only an amateur artist so... Use anatomy tactics such as lines and circles and boxes before you even start the sketch. When you do that you can make the pose more dynamic and place the arms much easier by using circles for the shoulder and elbow joints. Then, when you sketch over them, you can use them like bones. If that makes sense? I don't know it really helped me with my posing and anatomy though

tbh my enjoyment of the game no longer comes from like the actual game itself but the way the fans give the characters they like so much more life like "oh my headcanon for this character is (blah blah blah) " it ends up being a lot more interesting then "this characters personality is rich girl" "this one is nice" "and she, she has a whole TWO personality traits, sexy AND smart" also god you draw hair so pretty omg

Ooh now I'm excited for Hanako!

Love the new intro ❤️

Oh I was waiting for this video!

OH GOD I was just thinking when is callimara going to post new video... and then-

What grossed me out most about 1980s mode was the rival's shared dark secret. Not only is it lazy that they all have the same secret, incredibly easy to throw all rivals off the roof and win B rank, but it made me feel worse about killing them after knowing what happened to them. I'm not gonna say much, but it was messed up especially considering yandere dev wrote it

Honestly, i remember back when male versions of the rivals (also nemesis and info Chan) were released as an April Fools Joke and ppl made many good photos, videos, and animations making it seem that somehow these guys all fell in love with a Yandere. Specifically where they made her a bullied girl who couldn’t show emotions but they liked her, Osano and Nemesis being Childhood friends of Ayano and the fandom honestly made it seem like Ayano had more personality cause it was like trying to focus on Taro but how Can you when there are guys fighting for Ayano’s attention? It’s amazing how that simple genderbend April Fools video made a fandom create a good story out of preexisting characters.

Honestly, I feel bad for Yandev. He's in a terrible situation. Dropping the game is not good (he would betray his fans after taking a lot of money from them) but further development is even worse (he doesn't have enough skills to meet these huge expectations). This development has to be tiring at this point. If I were him, I would have no idea what to do

Omg I was watching one of your old videos and then bam! New video. Love you Callimara ❤

Ok now I understand why I like watching KubzScouts playthrough more than playing the game myself For one, the game is very laggy for my pc And two, it's BORING Jay's commentary is what I am there for and that's why I thought Budo, Midori, Kokona and Oka had more personality than they actually did because Jay gave them a personality. That's why I was not at all attached to Senpai, cause Jay and other KZfaqrs can't interact with him and after a while he gets kinda annoying to get past.

I FINALLY found your channel again!! I missed watching these sorts of videos!! (not just yandere dev, just listening to you critique stuff in general)

I made a cheap ripoff of yan sim through my drawings when I was young, and it had more story than yan sim lol

i literally would not care less about this game if the fandom wasn't so creative. it really shows theres so many people more passionate about this game than its actual scummy creator

It’s hurts so much that after seven years of development, we get 1989s mode. It’s ugly, buggy, AND STILL USES STOLEN ASSETS. All the people who invested money into this guy lost all the money they gave him. As a former fan it’s makes me so mad to see support of not only myself but others go down the drain

i love the art, i really love watching you draw.

Yoo i wasn't expecting a new video so soon :0

Yes I was waiting to hear your thoughts on this!

yandev describes 1980s mode as his way of making the game the fans wanted, and guess what, IT'S BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL GAME. ryoba has character, the rivals aren't that tacky, the story is (somewhat) thought out, there's different endings, ryoba's monologues actually have logic in them, the aesthetic is wonderful, and a true ending is really interesting and the cutscene itself is really intriguing. but really, lets all admit that the only reason 1980s is acceptable is because michaela laws (the wonderful being who voices ayano and ryoba) is an amazing voice actress. the way she emphasizes and adds tone to all her lines make the thing bearable. she's carrying the entire game on her back.

I was so excited for your opinion on 1980s mode! I'm happy to see that it's here.

I think he should just make the 1980s mode the main game at this point
