Overview

Chapters

• 00:00 - 03:30: Introduction and Background of Yandere Dev This chapter delves into the life of Alex Mahan, popularly known as Yandere Dev, focusing on his isolation, social inexperience, and abrupt rise to fame. The nickname 'Yandere Dev' is derived from his game creation, the Yandere Simulator, which is incomplete much like his personal journey. Despite his efforts, Alex has struggled to maintain enduring personal relationships, and his past continues to affect him.
• 03:30 - 07:30: Early Life and Influences The chapter titled 'Early Life and Influences' delves into the complex background and early influences of a controversial figure. It highlights various aspects of his early expressions through his posts, which include aggressive sentiments towards his parents, troubling and widespread accusations, and mixed views on the behavior of women. Additionally, the chapter notes his peculiar interest in the video game character, Sam San, which gained renewed attention due to his inappropriate communication with a minor. This incident, involving a 35-year-old man candidly expressing attraction to a much younger person, further alienated the community he wished to reconcile with. The narrative suggests that this is but a small part of a larger, tumultuous story concerning Yandere De.
• 07:30 - 11:50: Yandere Dev's Online Presence This chapter delves into Yandere Dev's expansive online presence history up to the present day. Starting in 1997, the narrative introduces Alexander, who was nine at the time, and the emergence of the term 'involuntary celibate.' Originally coined by Alana, a woman in her mid-20s running a support website, the term was intended to provide solace to those feeling marginalized by society. As the community expanded, the term was eventually abbreviated to 'incel.'
• 11:50 - 16:30: The Rise of Yandere Simulator The chapter titled 'The Rise of Yandere Simulator' discusses the evolution of a website originally intended as a support group. Initially successful in helping members find relationships, the website later became significant for coining a term that foreshadowed something darker. By the year 2000, key figures like Alana and Alexander moved away from their original goals, and the simple slang of the past began its transformation into a precursor for more ominous developments.
• 16:30 - 21:00: Challenges in Development The chapter titled 'Challenges in Development' explores the concept of 'incel', short for involuntary celibate, as defined and cultural context adds a derisive connotation to it. According to Merriam Webster's Dictionary, an incel is someone, often male, who feels involuntarily celibate and may show hostility towards sexually active individuals. The narrative focuses on Alexander, who aligns with this definition starting from the age of 12, indicating early experiences and environment contributed to his development into such a mindset.
• 21:00 - 35:00: Controversies and Criticisms Alex was enrolled in an independent study program similar to homeschooling due to unspecified reasons, although some believe it was due to bullying. The lack of confirmation makes it unclear. Homeschooling presents challenges, particularly in social development, as interacting solely with family limits exposure to diverse personalities. Peers play an important role in learning communication and social skills by offering varied interactions and experiences.
• 35:00 - 41:40: Latest Developments and Conclusion The chapter explores the social challenges faced by individuals who are homeschooled, emphasizing the lack of social nourishment they might encounter if there are no attempts to engage in social activities or gatherings. It suggests that without direct interaction with peers through activities and clubs, homeschooled individuals might have to rely on media to learn about human interaction, which is further limited in the absence of social media. The chapter concludes with the implications of these limitations on social development.

• 03:00 - 03:30 not to communicate while not everyone is proficient in communication and social understanding even with attending Public Schools those that are homeschooled can be at a greater risk of being socially malnourished these can be offset by enrolling oneself in activities and clubs where one can socially develop among peers but what happens when there are no attempts to provide social nourishment no social Gatherings no going out no friends the only way of learning how humans interact is through media with social media not very present
• 03:30 - 04:00 in the year 2000 Alex had less options quote I've watched countless box sets of anime and played through a countless number of video games coupled with my only World experiences being in elementary school this did not paint a very good picture of what the world is like for me unquote the excessive expressiveness in media and the unrealistic nature of scenarios that play out in works of fiction did not seem as such for Alex he had a skewed picture of the outside world he was a foreigner everywhere but his home perhaps that was felt as he began

• 71:30 - 72:00 point in development deeper mechanics required implementation were updates prior were new additions like you saw now less impactful but necessary things had to be added like changing in the school environment when too many students were assassinated and a plethora of realistic and diverse reactions from students and other parties when things go AR the sandbox element was going to need to cater to allplay Styles and find ways to reward and punish players for those that go the route of bullying Rivals for example here you can manipulate the school's social atmosphere and that itself

• 97:00 - 97:30 have expressed an interest in getting involved with yandere simulators development in exchange for a cut of the game's profits they've proposed deals that involve me giving up 50% of the game's profits or losing ownership of the game's intellectual property or removing certain features from the game these terms are all very unappealing to me another solu solution was to eliminate stress by downgrading The Game's development to just a hobby by closing his patreon this could lower the
• 97:30 - 98:00 overall controversy surrounding the project if Alex stepped away yet he is equally reserved but all of my fans would hate me someone else would develop a yandere themed game to take the place of my game I would fade from memory and all of the work I've done over the past 3 years would be for nothing as Alex was increasingly exposing he views the game as more than something to be developed he sees it as an achievement that validates him holding his work this close would not do him well for now
• 98:00 - 98:30 accompany this video was a poll the options were to keep doing what he has been doing downgrade development to a hobby began working with the company or launch a crowdfunding campaign the popularity of the choices were also in that order as voters wanted yandere Dev to continue his method of development regardless of the osana delays Alex believes that he may have swayed the poll by Framing companies as with this line of thinking in March he decided to start working with the company even though it only got 8% of the votes on
• 98:30 - 99:00 the poll tiny build you may recognize them as the publisher of hello neighbor and numerous other games eventually we reached an agreement that I was happy with and I decided to enter a partnership with them don't be worried I'll retain full ownership of the andere simulator intellectual property I'll have full creative control over the game I'll have the final say on all merchandising decisions they can't exploit the product in any way that goes against my wishes and no deadlines have been set in stone yandere Deb believes this new partnership to be favorable
• 99:00 - 99:30 with some added benefits like being able to smooth over twitch untangling his spaghetti code with an efficient code base and primarily speeding up development as yandere Dev did with his video Tiny build announced this partnership on Twitter the results were mixed it was not that fans were displeased that Alex was working with tiny build but that tiny build was associating with Alex some of the replies read quote hey at tiny build I respect a lot of the work you do for the gdq events and other Indie devs but this is probably a really bad idea [ __ ]

• 100:00 - 100:30 other areas of the game desperately needed more attention than the first rival but also showed some progress towards her completion this was the case for June July August September and October in this month came the first update not related to yandre simulator per se but to Watashi noono a game inspired by yandere simulator it looks like Alex was getting comp competition now in November it is the anniversary of what was meant to be osana's release date I think it was a mistake to put so
• 100:30 - 101:00 much emphasis on osana this created the impression that osana was my one and only priority which wasn't the case at all I've made tons of changes and additions to the game over the past year and it would be a shame if I'm judged solely on whether or not I'm making progress on osana from week to week his framing was moving the game forward was a mistake the same could also be said about this recent stream of Alex playing the video game
• 101:00 - 101:30 cupheads [ __ ] things were not adding up this
• 101:30 - 102:00 frustration Alex addressing the decrease of the game's popularity as an equalization to the sudden jump it got and the lack of progress despite the onboarding of a company in 2016 the game was supposedly 45% complete but at the start of 2018 it was still less than 50% complete the explanation for this could be found on his Discord where in February of 2018 yandere Dev stated quote in March 2017 I was ready to bring another programmer on board after I made a YouTube video stating that I needed
• 102:00 - 102:30 programming assistance over 20 plus professional programmers contacted me and offered to help at the same time tiny build offered to get me the help I needed so I told the 20 plus programmers don't worry I'll get the help I need for my new publisher tiny build and turned down their offers then I waited 8 plus months for tiny Bill to get me the help I needed things didn't work out so now I'm back to searching for programmer assistance I'm currently having multiple very promising conversations with potential programming volunteers but nothing is said in stone yet in a
• 102:30 - 103:00 timeline where I had never signed up with tiny build I would have gotten other programmers on board about 1 year ago unquote March April and May was more the same bug fixes after bug fixes with very few additions and yandere Dev was reluctant to talk about tiny build in this screenshot he stated quote I have nothing to say about it at this point in time but hopefully one day in the future I'll be able to say something unquote there has always been tension with Alex and his audience it has been stretched but never strained as it was now between osana questions relating to Tiny build
• 103:00 - 103:30 the emails and the recycling of his most controversial moments Alex was going to snap and it was going to be soon excellent the latest build and video are finished uploading time to release them for the world to see I hope that everybody likes the latest feature hm I think I'll read the comments and see what people are saying where's osana why isn't osana d done yet when will you work on osana osana [Music]
• 103:30 - 104:00 oana oh wow we need to have a talk Alex was explaining again that he regrets putting so much emphasis on assana now a year and 7 months past the initial deadline the other important bits come in relation to Tiny build those Discord screen shots where yandere Dev talks about tiny build were limited to being exchanged to only those that would go beyond Alex's Channel or blog to follow
• 104:00 - 104:30 the development but now in this video he stated he was taking on all the major development roles right now I am juggling the responsibilities of being the game's director and producer in addition to being its only programmer in a best case scenario someone else would take my place as the game's programmer so that I could work exclusively as the game's director and producer if we raise enough money maybe we could hire multiple programmers who would work on multiple Rivals simultaneously so that future Rivals are completed even faster
• 104:30 - 105:00 and so came the question in Mass what happened to Tiny build well for this video the comments were disabled so no questions could be asked or answered there and yandere dev's next video uploaded just 2 days later on June 8th he starts by explaining how the adding of features and how the interact with each other slows down the production of projects like this otherwise known as feature creep as the complexity of a project increases it will become proportionally
• 105:00 - 105:30 difficult to work on it every time you add a new feature it will affect other features create new bugs increase the amount of time you need to spend waiting for the code to compile increase the loading times of the game Etc something that was simple and easy to work on at the beginning can eventually become a nightmare that you are constantly wrestling with still no mention a tiny build that as his General audience still understood it was meant to be helping the second half of the video is about quote unquote weird people and pushing the release date to when it's ready if a

• 106:30 - 107:00 slack is given to smaller companies that have less experience and typically have a closer connection to Their audience so it was not that that caused a rippo effect it was actually everything this video was just the Catalyst starting with his targeting of his opposition who he deemed weird people that like his emails blames for the lack of development more and more it looked like yandere Dev was threatening the development of the game with things that are out of the control of the average viewer another mistake was not giving a face to these weird people by glossing over this undefined group they could be
• 107:00 - 107:30 as bad as his most severe trolls or a fan that is criticizing the game so this could have been construed as if you're against yand Dev or criticize him you are a weird person additionally this was also a poor move because this attention towards his detractors no doubt emboldens him this is all to say that this video had dire consequences on the subreddit r/ yandere simulator which was known for being a mostly supported place for the game turned into something else memes such as these became more common stating that yandere Dev is out of touch
• 107:30 - 108:00 the significance of this is that this image was contrasting with the one he had built with his updates the calm and silly Persona that was yand a Dev on the curated videos on his channel was fighting with this new image some comments mimic his rhetoric albeit more dramatically with quote all my critics are edgy teenagers who slandered me with no proof unquote then there were the endless screenshots of Yonder Dev on his Discord dismissing even the typical fan asking a question quote at yandere Dev are you considering doing something to M's hair to make her fit in more with

• 114:30 - 115:00 attack on his character this inadvertedly makes it more entertaining and it was no longer the fear that the game was becoming a quote unquote meme game it was a fear that he was now becoming a meme back in 2015 when yandere simulator was first gaining popularity I wanted to quickly destroy the notion that it was a meme game and established that I was trying to develop a genuine stealth game the types of games Alex is referring to are games that are often labeled derisively as
• 115:00 - 115:30 YouTube bait or as Alex labels them meme games these are games such as Alex's that have absurd premises such as Surgeon Simulator and goat simulator they had periods where they were picked up by content creators and played because their nature allowed for easy commentary one place in intentionally outlandish situations in fact one of the reasons he wanted to rename the game to Lovick was to drop the simulator from the title but now SES were set on him and with the tides turning what would be yandere dev's response to this changing of his image and the criticisms of the game rapidly slapping everything
• 115:30 - 116:00 together in a halfhazard way might have allowed me to make frequent updates back in the beginning but ultimately it had negative long-term effects that have slowed down the game's development that was a video yandere Dev released November of 2018 providing the reasons development has slowed here he regrets his spaghetti coat that has been recently criticized and is making an effort to improve the game B based on criticism missing was the criticism directed towards him as a person this was addressed in a different video also released in November known infamously as

• 118:00 - 118:30 in this situation the cherry on top is that he states that like the emails which were increasing in volume to troll him are affecting his work this rare video where Alex discusses himself on the yandere dev Channel shows how little he has changed to his by this point decade old Forum posts the difference now is he is emboldened by a success unrelated to his flaws attached to this video was a poll two options were given related to the future of content on his channel one to make more videos expelling rumors but inviting drama and the other to presumably ignore the drama
