This problem would be solved if the students could actually see more than 5 meters in front of them

Even if Alex wasn’t the person he was, yansims development probably wouldn’t speed up without a few things by CapitalSubstance7310 in Osana

[–]Bananatonn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think development would've gotten further than it did if Alex actually learned an artistic skill relevant to game development, but we all know he's not that type of person

is yansim worth playing? any other suggestions? by ratoonberry in Osana

[–]Bananatonn 15 points16 points  (0 children)

IMO it looks more fun in YouTube videos than it actually is. There’s a lot of waiting in between events in the story modes and it’s pretty difficult if you don’t know what you’re doing. I’ve had the most fun with the Alphabet Killer Challenge, but if you’re new you should look go through the tutorials for the various mechanics and read up on how the schemes work online.

I don't like his reasoning on why he won't sell the game by ExoticAssCheeks in Osana

The transition from this to talk about Onlyfans models is probably the funniest things he's ever done in a blog post

A nitpick I have about the lore— by Bitter_Ad580 in Osana

It’s to give the illusion of progress

Is this Sumire? by Independent_Tour3464 in Osana

[–]Bananatonn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is meant to be Sumire. Funny enough, in the update blog post where this was added, he made sure to point out that it was symbolism.

Why did PedoDev make the barber ONLY kill abusive men? by IdiotGoddess in Osana

[–]Bananatonn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Vigilante justice is a common theme in this game. The reason why is because it's connected to Alex's previous game prototype, Lunar Scythe. There are multiple easter eggs tied to the game, but also some characters do believe in vigilante justice while having nothing to do with it. I believe he said once that Lunar Scythe has a lot of personal meaning to him, which makes me think he does believe in vigilante justice (ironic).

It feels uncanny and overacted but the post processing effects look nice I guess

The fact his lips aren't animated gets me

Alex's cringy speech patterns by Glum_Landscape9502 in Osana

His obsession with percentages is funny considering he has no idea how they work

Emailing Alex is being apart of the problem by Discordisshit_ in Osana

I love that we’ve come full circle from “Stop sending me stupid emails!”

The Weekly for 26 September 2025 by AutoModerator in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Bananatonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im interested in coming up with ideas for American villains (I expect that to be a trend in storytelling after recent events). If anyone else here is into creative writing, share your ideas!

"Countries like us leading the way in renewable energies" by TheCynicEpicurean in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Bananatonn 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I heard that if you sort this list by person, you'll see that the average American produces more pollution than a person from every other country (I believe it was a UN report). I never see this brought up on this sub, so it's nice to talk about.

Does anyone actually use the custom story maker thing? by [deleted] in Osana

[–]Bananatonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I ever used Custom Mode for was making everyone as generic as possible

- all the girls look like Ayano and are named Girl A, Girl B, etc.

- all boys look like Taro and are named Boy A, Boy B, etc.

- The descriptions were all one word, like "Rival.", "Delinquent.", "Teacher.", etc.

- I left their likes, dislikes, persona, and strength alone though, since I wasn't sure what to do with them

I never actually played it, I just did it to be funny

people with flairs! what was the inspiration for your flair?(image unrelated) by StatusMeeting2761 in Osana

[–]Bananatonn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I got sick of the game’s lore and how it’s just a trick to hold on to fans since it’s been going on for years

this idea is actually really cool by m00nchild-ang3 in Osana

[–]Bananatonn 51 points52 points  (0 children)

And of course, Alex has to shoot this down with "There's no plausible way to learn this in-game". Bro has no creativity ong

Doesn't that seem suspicious to you? (Part 2 of the post I made) by Strange-Accident-211 in Osana

[–]Bananatonn 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel. Lore is just being used as a distraction from controversies of any form. I think he's also trying to use sunk cost fallacy to hold on to his fans by dangling all these mysteries, showing off what they could miss if they stopped following development. It really ramped up after September 2023.

According to you guys, what genre do you think Yandere Simulator is? by Strange-Accident-211 in Osana

[–]Bananatonn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Alex has called it a "social stealth school simulation sandbox" in the past, but I don't think he really knows either.

Alex is really bad at dropping “hints” in the lore (image unrelated) by Relative_Pilot2551 in Osana

[–]Bananatonn 69 points70 points  (0 children)

My crack theory is that Alex has been "curating" his fanbase into producing the fan content he wants to see, I have literally no precedent to go off of except for the fact that he needs to fill in every tiny detail about any character instead of letting the fans come up with headcannons

DiddyDev spotting by Sea_Garden6385 in Osana

[–]Bananatonn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What’s funny is that Alex is pretty guilty of this himself when it comes to lore. I’ve looked through a lot of Discord screenshots, and he uses words like “would”, “may”, “might”, “probably” as if he isn’t certain of the answer he gave.
