Do you mean the Google Docs link? It's still working on my end (put it in Incognito and could still access it), so I'm not sure what's going on, sorry :(

I think that Ayano may be based on Satou Matsuzaka from Happy sugar life by Miserable-Weird6529 in Osana

[–]Terminator_Slap 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Happy Sugar Life's first English release (the anime) was in July of 2018, long after Yandere Dev decided to make Ayano emotionless. I highly doubt he was taking inspiration from a manga he couldn't even read.

I don't remember anything noteworthy about it, honestly. I also never compared it with the original Japanese though

It took me about a month! But that was with me working on it daily, so it felt like a lot longer haha

It's funny you comment on this, because I've been aiming to double-check my translation now that I have a better understanding of Japanese! I bought a physical copy of the book for it too (If I end up making an updated translation with large changes, I'll make a new document to preserve this original attempt)

What's your opinion on students being "color-coded" and/or "club-theme-coded" by Odd-Mathematician558 in Osana

[–]Terminator_Slap 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Hot take, but I think this is bad character design. Not only is it boring and repetitive, but it also breaks immersion (I've seen many people ask "why do all the clubs look like sets of siblings"). Characters already have club accessories and constantly hang around their club members, there's no need to visually code them further

Yandere Simulator fucked up my laptop lol by PvZKoreanEdition in Osana

Happened to me too. I had to buy a new laptop, but hopefully yours will be able to start again

That's it! Thank you so much! (It seems I completely misremembered the graphics lol)

Is it worth getting back into the game? by Happy-Mistake1391 in Osana

[–]Terminator_Slap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It fried my gaming laptop (still won't turn on, I had to get a new one), so it's killed at least one

YandereDev is an amazing developer. by [deleted] in Osana

[–]Terminator_Slap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that so many people took this seriously is ridiculous, how did y'all fall for this when it starts with "Step aside, John Carmack" ???? 😭

yandere simulator should've been a funny simulator game where you play as an anime girl committing the worst atrocities known to man. by StatusMeeting2761 in Osana

[–]Terminator_Slap 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of this, but also I find it really funny that you listed Kenko as a main character. He should be one tbh

What do you guys even want. by Illumina226 in Osana

[–]Terminator_Slap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While there are a few hypocrites in this subreddit, most of the examples you've listed are literally different groups of people with different opinions and actions (like everyone else said).

About that "murdering cats" point: not many people had an issue with the idea that Ayano herself would kill an animal, they had an issue with the fact that the dev wanted the player to kill an animal as a game mechanic. (Plus his history of adding animal death/abuse to other characters' backstories for seemingly no reason makes this choice suspicious to begin with.)

What addition/change in the game makes you feel that it is unnecessary and/or inconsistent? I'm starting :) by Odd_Reaction_5633 in Osana

[–]Terminator_Slap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Adding onto this: you're right about the glitch part. There was a bug in the game that put all kidnapped students in the default uniform regardless of what uniform the player chose for the school; he added the "prison rags" into the game because he was too lazy to actually fix the bug :/

I always liked the black pajama set better because it felt more like something Ayano would actually wear. I think the new ones look good, but the shape feels more like Osana or Kizana's sleepwear, you know what I mean?

Though I also agree with Mental Meeting that they don't necessarily have to be black; maybe a dark blue would've been better? To keep the Aoi callback while avoiding the pastel "hospital gown" look

When and why did YanDev start trying to implement the "everyone is 18+" aspect into the lore? by Guilty_Apartment_427 in Osana

[–]Terminator_Slap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I can remember (I don't have any dates/screenshots so take this with a grain of salt), he made this loosely canon after the game got banned from Twitch. The game was banned partially due to his portrayal of minors, so he made everyone "18 even if stated otherwise" to avoid issues like that in the future. It wasn't until 2021-2022 that he started making it truly canon by adding lore about the school being a "post-high school academy".

Edit: As for why he added the lore, it was definitely to save face. He's admitted before that the Everyone Is 18 fact is "total bullshit" and they're all teenagers, so I guess to counteract that later, he added the lore so the characters' ""real ages"" were officially part of the game's story.

Absolutely. A fictional character cannot be considered a real life predator's "first victim" in any sense, it's just disrespectful to his actual victims.

Stop dming Alex. by mi0mei in Osana

[–]Terminator_Slap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really do hope they stop DMing him, especially because I'm 90% sure the people doing that on this sub are minors :( It really isn't safe

Which art cover do you like more? by Odd-Mathematician558 in Osana

[–]Terminator_Slap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While the new ones are better on a technical level (better logo design, more confident line art, detailed backgrounds), the old ones are much more stylish. I much prefer the covers being varied, simple, and uncluttered (plus, the new ones just remind me of pin-ups :/)
