• If the player takes an action that would result in a club disbanding (such as reducing the number of students to less than 5, getting kicked out of the club when the club only had 4 other members besides the player, or murdering the club leader) then the player will be shown a message at the end of the day in which Yandere-chan is informed that she has been kicked out of the club.

February 1st, 2016

• There are now 7 Personality types, or "Personas" in total.
• The 3 new ones are Coward, Evil, and Social Butterfly.
• (Female) Students will now react when the player aims a camera at them. Their reaction depends on their personality.
• For now, all male students will have the Loner personality or Teacher’s Pet personality, and will not react to the camera. I can’t give them other personalities or reactions because, at this point in time, I don’t have an animation rig for male characters, and I can’t transfer female animations to male skeletons.
• If the player joins the Photography Club, students will not react to the camera, and will allow the player to Photograph them without any problems.
• Added a humorous "WARNING" message to the beginning of the game. I might remove it, if people complain that it gives the game the wrong vibe.

• Ever since the first week of the game’s development, Yandere-chan’s eyes would shrink when she lost her sanity. Previously, her eyes would shrink into very small dots. This reflects an "angry" character, not a "hollow" character, so I have changed the minimum size of her eyes. Her eyes can still shrink, but not as much as before. Her eyes are meant to say "I am empty and dead inside", and not "I am violent and crazy."
• Previously, Yandere-chan’s eyes would become blank and lifeless when "Yandere Vision" was activated. Now, they become blank when she loses sanity.
• Now, when Yandere Vision is activated, Yandere-chan’s eyes become red.
• A shadow now gradually falls over Yandere-chan’s face as she loses sanity.

February 2nd, 2016

• Telling a student to "Go Away" will no longer make them spend hours standing alone somewhere. They will now only "Go Away" for a maximum of 60 seconds.
• Students are no longer willing to perform favors for Yandere-chan if their next class begins in less than 30 minutes.

• As of now, the body parts that appear after dismembering an NPC will always be clad in the default uniform.
• It is now impossible to struggle against an NPC if the protagonist is holding a weapon that is too large to conceal, such as the katana or the circular saw. If a weapon is too large to conceal, then it's too unwieldy to use in close quarters and would only make Yandere-chan more vulnerable during a struggle.
• At the request of an important person, all Undertale audio assets are now removed from the game, and the appearance of the "Gaster Blasters" has now been altered so that they are completely unique.
• It is now possible to pick up a corpse and carry it while walking or running, if the player has leveled up their Physical Education stat at least one time.

• As of now, when multiple button prompts are visible onscreen, the game will highlight the one that is closest to the center of the screen, rather than the one that Yandere-chan is standing closest to. (This fixes the "Can’t pick up objects dropped near incinerator" bug.)
• From now on, if a student witnesses a corpse while they are running to the locker room to change their clothing, they will switch their personality to "Loner" and run out of the school, instead of following their normal corpse-reaction routine.
• Previously, when a student was following you, they would run when they were more than 5 meters away from you, and walk if they were less than 5 meters away from you. Now, students will run until they are 2 meters away from you.
• Nearby pickups now have a little icon floating above them, instead of having a button prompt and name above them. The button prompt and the name of the object won’t actually appear until the player gets close enough.

• Now, if the player kidnaps the week’s current rival, reduces her sanity to 0 %, brings her to school, and hands her a weapon, she will commit suicide.
• Updated Yandere-chan’s character model to use her trademark black stockings at the character customization screen.
• Removed the ability to enter a changing booth while naked (it was causing bugs).

• It is now possible to customize Senpai with facial hair.

(Teleporting to the roof also teleported Kokona, Riku, and Midori, for easy testing of other features. From now on, teleporting to the roof will no longer affect other characters after 7:10 AM.)

• Added a "Press the Y button to show or hide the delinquents" debug command to the debug menu.
• Yandere-chan will now drop anything that is in her hands when she enters a hiding spot.

7/310/2017

• Yandere-chan can now sit down at the benches near the fountains outside of school. This has no gameplay application whatsoever, and is purely for fun/immersion.
• Students will no longer perform a "taking notes" animation in class, if class is not yet in session. From now on, if a student arrives to class early, they will mess around on their phone while waiting for class to begin.
• Likewise, teachers will no longer perform a "giving lecture" animation in class, if class is not yet in session; they will perform a "reviewing notes" animation while waiting for class to begin.

• Updated Yandere-chan’s "about to be apprehended" animation.

August 12th, 2017

September 5th, 2017

In the latest build, the player will now use a different button to set a bucket of water above a doorway.
• The "Gentle Eyes for Mai Waifu" feature it’s now properly disabled in this new build.
• Senpai will now consider it to be suspicious when Yandere-chan is aiming a camera at his face, and will react the same way he does when Yandere-chan is acting weird in his general vicinity.

• The "Change Persona" mirror is functioning properly again (although it’s still only used for testing purposes, and not attached to a proper-implemented gameplay mechanic yet).
• If the player is playing a "Clean All Blood" mission in Mission Mode, cleans all blood, and then spills NEW blood, the player will now be required to clean up the new blood.
• Text during the end-of-day police investigation sequence will now list dead characters with proper grammar (with commas, instead of repeating the word "and").

• Adjusted Riku’s routine so that he will still be in school during the point in time when Kokona is trying to confess love to him.

December

December 18th, 2017

• To prevent an exploit that would allow the player to seperate a student from other students by aiming a camera at that student’s face indefinitely, students will now only pose for 5 seconds maximum before stopping. Aiming a camera at a student’s face for longer than 5 seconds will annoy the student and result in a reputation penalty.
• Replaced the interior of the school gym and fixed bug that would cause Yandere-chan to turn invisible / flicker while inside the gym. (Howevere, there is still no collision inside the gym yet).

• The player must now be less than 1 meter away from a student to attack them. (Previously, the player could attack from 2 meters away, which was super overpowered.)
• Updated Mei Mio’s hairstyle. I apologize to everyone who liked her old hairstyle, but my vision for the game cannot be realized unless Mei Mio has tri-tails!

January 12th, 2018

January 13th, 2018

• The faculty room is now a "trespass zone", and teachers will react when Yandere-chan enters (but I still need to give them a different voiced line to say when Yandere-chan trespasses there).
• A student will now get frustrated and stop talking to Yandere-chan if Yandere-chan repeatedly talks to them and then ends the conversation without saying anything.

• The player can no longer get a Game Over from Senpai while an easter egg is active.

January 10th, 2018

• Usually, when an easter egg is active, I disable the code that allows students to identify Yandere-chan as a murderer. This is so people can goof around with easter eggs without being stopped. However, for the Hunger Mode easter egg, I am allowing students to react to Yandere-chan and apprehend her; this is because the point of Hunger Mode is to challenge the player to stealthily take down students without getting caught in order to unlock powers that get stronger with each student who is consumed. (A cooler reward is something I’ll have to implement in the future.)
• Attempted to reduce chance that martial arts club members would get stuck on each other while attempting to walk into the changing booth.

February

February 2nd, 2018

• New Persona, Phone Addict.
• Midori’s Persona has been changed to "Phone Addict".
• The 4 new characters are Musume’s friends, who follow the same fashion trends as Musume.
• Musume’s friends accessorize much more than normal students; They each have unique phones, phone charms, bookbags, scrunchies on their wrists, cardigans around their waists, etc.
• If a student’s reputation drops below −33, that student will be targeted for bullying. (If multiple students have a reputation below −33, the one with the lowest reputation is targeted.)
• A bullied student will use a different walk animation / idle animation than other students, and have a different routine from other students.
• If a student’s reputation drops below −100, the bullying will be so severe that they just won’t come to school anymore.
• Once a day, there will be an event where Musume’s friends harass a student who has been targeted for bullying.
• Musume’s friends will scribble graffiti on the desk of a student who has been targeted for bullying.

• If a teacher is late to class (or is distracted by something during class), students will now perform a "Huh? What’s wrong?" animation in their seats.
• Changing into a clean pair of shoes will now cause Yandere-chan to stop leaving bloody footprints on the ground.
• Replaced some of the first weapon models (Knife, Syringe, Box Cutter, Screwdriver) with new, improved models.
• Adjusted props in the infirmary room so that there wouldn’t be gaps between the furniture and the walls.
• Removed the "ledge" running around the school’s rooftop; it didn’t really feel like a big improvement.

• Added voiced lines for Yandere-chan while feeding during Hunger Mode.

February 3rd, 2018

• Changed the school uniform that Info-chan uses in Mission Mode, since the school’s uniform is black in the "Mission Mode Timeline".
• Replaced the original placeholder phone model (a black cube) with the higher-quality phone model that is used during Osana’s events.
• Removed debug command for testing an upcoming character model (pressing the spacebar would put every student into a lab coat).
• Midori will no longer mutter to herself while texting; it was causing too many bugs.
• Unfortunately, had to remove Mai Waifu’s custom eyes again; created too many bugs.
• While I was creating the previous update, I changed Musume’s Student ID. This had more side-effects than I expected, and resulted in some new bugs. The quickest way to fix the problem was to simply implement a new student to take Musume’s old Student ID slot. So, I’ve implemented a new character to occupy that spot. However, don’t get too attached to her! She’ll be removed from the game once it’s time to implement the "Mysterious Obstacle".

• If the player jumps directly to lunchtime at the beginning of the day, the game will automatically put graffiti on the desk of the student with the lowest reputation, without requiring the bullies to manually put it there.

• If multiple Phone Addicts are texting the police, the "Chase Camera" will follow the Phone Addict who is closest to finishing their text message.
• It is no longer possible to give food to a member of the Student Council; they are too cautious to accept food from a stranger.
• Graffiti that has been put on a student’s desk will be removed at Cleaning Time.

February 5th, 2018

• Previously, if you sent a student to distract another student, and the target student entered a "Busy" state (like talking, for example) the original student would immediately return to their normal routine. From now on, a student will not break out of the "Distracting Target" state unless they visually confirm that another student is in a "Busy" state.
• The player will no longer lose reputation points when gossiping with a bully, since bullies don’t frown upon gossip.
• Improved the "sad sit" animation that is performed by a male student who is being bullied.
• Changed the pose that a certain character was doing in her Student Info portrait.
• Added one new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.

February 6th, 2018

• Previously, I attempted to make it possible for female students to have long skirts. However, I wasn’t able to get it to work properly (a long skirt would always clip into the characters’ legs during their walk animation). Today, I came up with a possible solution to the problem, and it seems to be working. Presently, you will be able to see one student in school with a long skirt.
• A bully can no longer be broken out of one of their bullying events by hearing a giggle from Yandere-chan. (However, a bully can still be broken out of a bullying event by seeing Yandere-chan covered in blood, carrying a weapon, acting insane, etc.)
• If Yandere-chan causes a disruption that breaks a bully out of their bullying event, the bully will remark about how Yandere-chan "killed the mood", and then the bully will leave the area.
• A student’s "bullied" animations will now take priority over their "shy" animations.
• Adjusted the way that male students hold their phones.

February 7th, 2018

• If someone takes a photo of you committing murder, but you’re wearing a mask in the photo, you will no longer get an instant game over, since the cops won’t be able to identify you from the photo. (They’ll still come to school, though.)
• It is now possible to make bullies prematurely end a bullying event by having a another student show up and talk to the bullied student.
• Adjusted height of trees and bushes around the school so they are no longer floating slightly above the ground.
• Adjusted the "Chase Camera" that appears when a student is texting a photo of your crimes to the cops.
• It is now possible to take a panty shot of the school nurse.

February 10th, 2018

• Reverted Horuda’s skirt back to being a short skirt, because the code used to lengthen her skirt created too many unfortunate side-effects. (It would be better to create a new character model designed to have a variable skirt, rather than use workarounds to manually lengthen the skirt of a model that wasn’t designed to support that kind of functionality.)
• The "empty husk" in the Art Club has been replaced by the Art Club’s leader, Geiju. (The player can interact with him, and he has voiced lines, but he will not react to murder or anything like that, so he’s not very different from an "empty husk" at this point.)
• Killing a student with a blunt object stealth attack (neck snap) will no longer cause the student to spawn blood pools (since there is no open wound).
• Yandere-chan now plays new animations when she’s around Senpai. Her animations will get progressively creepier the more time she spends around him.
• Covered up the little gaps on the rooftop that would allow you to look down into the rooms underneath the rooftop (and a few other gaps too).
• The Student Council will no longer react to footsteps when Pose Mode is active, since it interferes with the player’s ability to pose them.
• The player will no longer hear sound effects (such as the incinerator burning something) when the end-of-day text is displaying onscreen.
• The panties that you choose while in Yandere-chan’s room will now actually appear on her character model when at school.
• There are now 5 "ambient conversations" that occur at school between male students — one for each day of the week.
• The mouse cursor is no longer hidden when entering a Mission ID into the Load Mission screen in Mission Mode.
• The little blood-cleaning robot in the Science Club now has an outline when Yandere Vision is active.
• A character whose family member has died will now have a depressed walk / depressed idle animation.
• Added the ability to decorate Yandere-chan’s corkboard at home with red strings.
• It is now possible for randomly-generated students to be Phone Addicts.
• Pippi and Ryuto now have the Phone Addict Persona.
• Made Yandere-chan’s Miku hair more floaty.
• Added one new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.
• Populated the Art Club with props.
• Added a Kill La Kill easter egg. It’s pretty basic for now, but maybe one day I’ll give it more depth.

February 21st, 2018

• The cursor on the corkboard now moves at a slower speed when playing the game with a keyboard (but it still moves at the same speed when using a mouse or a controller).
• Adjusted some of the images in the Art Club so that they wouldn’t flicker when the player moved their camera around.
• Improved some of the paintings in the Art Club.

March

March 6th, 2018

• If two students in a "mind-broken" state are both trying to kill the same target, the second mind-broken student to reach the target will commit suicide as soon as the first mind-broken student begins the murder-suicide animation.
• It is now possible to "Tag" a student from their Student Info page so that a marker appears around their head in Yandere Vision. This is to help the player when they are trying to quickly locate a specific student.
• The "Evil" Persona has been changed into the "Spiteful" persona. Instead of enjoying all deaths, a Spiteful student only enjoys the death of a student who has been bullying them, or the death of a bullied student.
• It is now possible to change Yandere-chan’s "Persona" at any mirror (including the ones in bathrooms or the locker room). Using different Personas will grant you benefits will certain groups of students.
• Added a new set of background tracks to the game (3 different tracks for each level of sanity during high atmosphere, medium atmosphere, and low atmosphere; 9 tracks in total).
• The police will no longer arrive at school when an easter egg is active. (The Police timer will appear, but no police will arrive.)
• Reduced the reputation boost that the player gets from handing out food, because it was too imbalanced.
• "Dangerous" and "Heroic" students are no longer able to switch to the Phone Addict Persona.
• The corkboard will now recall photographs and strings across multiple days.
• Removed duplicate knife that wasn’t supposed to be in the Cooking Club.
• Double-tapping the "M" key will now change the background music.
• Improved bully cardigan textures.
• Improved Yanketsu texture.
• Improved Ebola textures.

March 15th, 2018

• The player can now use Info-chan’s Services menu to increase their reputation, decrease their rival’s reputation, obtain information about a student, and delay the police when they are en route to school.
• Kokona will now react to Yandere-chan eavesdropping on her private Monday phone call. (This is relevant because Osana’s phone call event uses the same code.)
• Decorated the incinerator area with a few props, since it’s going to receive more focus in the near future. It’s definitely not finished, though.
• There is now an "Eavesdropping" warning at the top of the screen when Yandere-chan is eavesdropping on a private conversation.
• Students will now react negatively if they spot Yandere-chan eavesdropping on another student’s private conversation.
• Aiming a camera at a bully who is bullying a student will now cause the bully to prematurely end the bullying event.
• There is now a DDR-style dance machine somewhere on school grounds. Eventually, I’ll explain its purpose.
• Re-named "Bookworm Persona" to "Scholarly Persona" because "Bookworm" was a very poor choice of words.
• The player can no longer talk to a character who is in the middle of an event.
• From now on, students will investigate screams instead of ignoring them.
• As of now, if all bullies are dead, a student can no longer be bullied.
• Updated the warning text that displays after launching the game.
• The player can now apologize for eavesdropping.
• Added some new props near the shoe locker area.
• Added a few decorations to the Gaming Club.
• Added a new cassette tape to the game. There aren’t any huge plot twists in this tape, but it sets the stage for some future twists.

March 31st, 2018

• Replaced the giggles in the Low Reputation Game Over sequence with new giggles that don’t sound like squeak toys.
• If neither Sakyu nor Inkyu are attending school, Oka will no longer go to the rooftop and try to spy on them.
• Added a few new models to the rooftop, strategically placed for upcoming tactical espionage action gameplay.
• Replaced Kuu Dere’s hair model with a new one, because the original model had strange visual bugs occurring.
• The player can now use Info-chan’s Services menu to make a student leave school for the rest of the day.
• Updated the trophy cases at the front of the school so that they’re not duplicates of each other.
• Changed the floor/wall/ceiling textures of the Science Club (it’s not finished yet, though).
• Updated the dance machine model. (Still not ready to elaborate about its purpose yet.)
• Improved the appearance of some of the walls and pillars outside of the school.
• Restored previous walk animation for Yandere-chan’s "Graceful" Persona.
• Updated the appearance of the school plaza on the title screen.
• Added a new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.
• Added another Headmaster tape.
• I’ve put a couple of props into the Photography Club. I’m using that club as a testing ground for new models, so if you see weird stuff in there, don’t mind it too much. The weird props will be moved to other locations eventually.

April

April 2nd, 2018

• Info-chan will now refuse to perform the "Send Student Home" service if a student is preoccupied with something that would logically prevent them from caring about checking their text messages.

Added a small amount of functionality to a model in the Science Club. It doesn’t do anything significant for now…but that might change in the future.

• Restored something that has been gone for a long time.

April 26th, 2018

• Added new delinquents.
• Added combat mini-game.
• Previously, if the player used Pose Mode to move a student inside of an object (like a tree) the player would lose the ability to interact with that student, potentially ruining poses. As of now, activating Pose Mode will cause the game to ignore colliders so that the player can interact with students even if there is a collider between Yandere-chan and the student (or if the student is inside of a collider).
• Rim lighting, color grading, ambient obscurance, and distant background mountains are now enabled by default. The player has been given the option of disabling any of these things in the settings menu.
• Added two more background tracks to the game (each with 9 variations, one for each combination of school atmosphere and sanity).
• It is now possible to release a student from Pose Mode and let them continue their routine after you’ve customized them.
• Updated the "receiving an alarming text message" animation that plays when the player uses the "Send Home" feature.
• Added some models to the Announcement Room, although some further work still remains to be done.
• Replaced Kuu Dere’s new hair model with another one that isn’t as bright and flashy.
• Added shading to Oka’s stockings / arm-warmers.
• Added a few more props to the Science Club.
• Added a new sword to the Drama Club.
• Tweaked Mai Waifu’s hair color.
• Added another Headmaster tape.
• Improved 6 old hair models.

April 27th, 2018

• The button prompts that appear during the combat minigame should now be more crisp and clear and easy-to-read, even when the game is being played at a low texture resolution.
• Added some props to the Science Club in preparation for upcoming characters who will be interacting with those props. (Some of the props are not final yet.)
• Removed the ability to spawn a time portal to 1989.
• Gave Senpai a voiced line for witnessing violence (still needs a unique animation, though).
• Removed debug command for summoning the old delinquents.
• Bullies will no longer attempt to bully delinquents.

April 28th, 2018

• From now on, a delinquent’s fingerprints will be on his weapon from the start of the day, rather than only appearing on his weapon when he grabbed it. (Logically, he had to get his fingerprints on his weapon while putting it in his bag before going to school.)
• Delinquents will no longer bust out their smartphones and start texting immediately after winning a fight.

April 29th, 2018

• Delinquents now start out with lower reputations than other students (and if you try to raise their reputations, their reputations will always reset back to a low number at the beginning of each day).
• A character who has been startled by another character’s scream will now become more alert (they will notice corpses / behavior from further away).
• Rotated one of the trophy cases near the locker area, since it was actually facing the wall.
• Bullies will now refuse to perform the "Distract" favor on a Delinquent.
• Delinquents will now react differently to the corpse of a bully.

4/310/2018

• From now on, if you disable rim light / distance blur, the game will remember your preferences and will disable rim light / distance blur in the future. (But when you reset the week, your preferences will be reset, too.)
• Delinquents will no longer continue to perform their attack animation if Yandere-chan is apprehended by a teacher in the middle of a fight.
• Delinquents will no longer accept food from Yandere-chan (if she offers them food, they’ll respond with a rude, dismissive remark).
• Kokona was moved to a different seat in a recent build, so her bookbag has been re-located to her new seat.
• Kokona will now show signs of attraction to the delinquents, since she is attracted to piercings.

May

May 2nd, 2018

• To make it much easier to develop the game, I needed to add a debug command that would allow me to activate / deactivate specific students whenever I choose. I decided to create a menu for it, and I’m very satisfied with how it turned out. In order to access this new menu, look behind the tree that is to the left of Yandere-chan when she goes to school.
• The two sparring students in the Martial Arts club will now actually perform a sparring animation instead of just standing there motionless.
• If you get too close to the two sparring students in the Martial Arts Club, they’ll stop sparring, tell you that you’re in the way, and wait for you to move to a safe distance before they resume fighting.
• If you open the debug menu and press "0" to disable the secondary first-person camera, the background behind Yandere-chan’s hands will now be black instead of pink.
• There should no longer be weird artifacts appearing at the top/bottom of the screen when the player is playing the game at an aspect ratio other than 16:9.
• From now on, when a Rainbow Six girl is sitting in the Cooking Club alone, she will text on her phone instead of talking to thin air.
• Adjusted the position of smartphones in female students’ hands so that the phones weren’t being held at strange, extreme angles.
• Updated the hair physics for two hairstyles which had weird clipping going on whenever the hair moved.
• Added a new easter egg to the Meme Closet. This easter egg is dedicated to a wonderful YouTuber who has been making Yandere Simulator videos for a long, long time!

May 3rd, 2018

• A few days ago, I updated the Characters page on the official website with a new character. I didn’t announce it because the website wasn’t updating for me, so I couldn’t actually tell if he had been added to the site or not. Anyway, now it’s working for me, so I can announce that the Characters page has a new addition! By the way, that character’s artwork was updated today, so if you saw him before, you might want to look again.
• Fixed exploit that would allow the player to very easily make a character stand in one spot for a long period of time by continuously aiming a camera at their face to repeatedly invoke their "posing for camera" pose.
• It is no longer possible to use the "Rest in Infirmary" feature under any circumstances where the player wouldn’t be able to attend class (with a dead body lying on school grounds, for example).
• It’s no longer possible to use Info-chan’s "Send Home" service on a student who is in the middle of a scripted event (such as the two boys talking about anime at lunchtime).
• The phone that Yandere-chan holds when she is using the Pass Time feature is now her normal smartphone, rather than the old primitive placeholder smartphone.
• It is now possible to rotate the camera in the Senpai Creation Screen by using the mouse (or the right joystick if you’re using a controller).
• Yandere-chan is no longer able to drag or carry a corpse if that corpse is on fire. (She has to wait until the corpse stops burning.)
• The "Debug Demon" is now disabled during Mission Mode, since debug features are supposed to be disabled during Mission Mode.
• Added collision boxes for many objects in the faculty room / meeting room that did not have collision.
• It is now possible to put the delinquents’ hairstyles on Senpai in the Senpai Creation Screen.

May 4th, 2018

• From now on, a delinquent who was injured and dropped his weapon earlier in the day will no longer try to take down Yandere-chan with his bare hands; instead, he will flee the school while swearing revenge.
• The delinquents will now say different voiced lines when chasing down the player after the player has already defeated them in a fight earlier in the day.
• If a student has been sent to distract a target, they will stop if their target has become busy performing an action (such as changing their shoes).
• The delinquents will now say a voiced line at the beginning of a fight. (These lines are subject to change in the future.)
• Fixed end-of-day police investigation text that referred to a male victim by a female pronoun.

May 6th, 2018

• If a Teacher’s Pet witnesses murder and reports it to a teacher, but the teacher can’t find any trace of a murder and thinks it’s a prank, the Teacher’s Pet will use a traumatized idle/walk animation for the rest of the day, and will no longer perform cheerful socializing animations.
• Students will now refuse to distract the delinquents, because nobody wants to go near them.
• The player can now find additional bleach in the gardening shed.
• A bullied student will no longer agree to distract a bully.

May 10th, 2018

• Yandere-chan can no longer perform certain types of actions while a delinquent is about to start chasing her. This means that, if a delinquent has witnessed her commit murder, has been defeated in the combat minigame, and is catching his breath for a few moments before he begins to chase her, she can no longer perform any action that puts her into a "state" that only ends once an animation has finished playing. For example, the "sit down at sewing machine and sew a uniform" state, which ends once the sewing animation has ended.
• Delinquents now sound much different when reacting to the sight of a corpse. (Previously, they were releasing a blood-curdling terrified scream of pure horror, which doesn’t really suit a bunch of tough guys).
• Adjusted one of the sound-dampening black foam walls in the Announcement Room’s recording booth so that it doesn’t clip through the wall and become visible on the adjacent stairway.
• Adjusted all of Senpai’s game over animations where he would take multiple steps backwards and clip into whatever objects / walls were behind him.
• Adjusted "delinquent loses combat minigame" animation so that their right arms aren’t posed at such odd angles when they loses a fight.
• Edited "refuse to distract student" text to use gender-neutral phrasing so that it can work with both male and female students.
• Made progress towards adding the Science Club to the game. Visit the science clubroom to see a preview of upcoming characters!
• Replaced old "getting into fight" delinquent voiced lines with louder, faster, more aggressive versions of those lines.
• Delinquents now have voiced lines when noticing a bully’s corpse and running away from it.
• Updated the appearance of the gate outside of the entrance to the school.
• Added "witnessed Yandere-chan having a fight" animation for Senpai.
• Updated the look-and-feel of the official website! Check it out!
• Added one new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.
• Added Enigma Mode.

May 11th, 2018

• The player can no longer perform a club activity immediately after sending a mind-broken slave to kill someone.

May 13th, 2018

• Updated the appearance of the Photography Club. It’s not finished yet; I still need to spend another day or two on it to bring it to completion — then I’ll be ready to add the Photography clubmembers and the "Sleuth" Presona to the game!
• Added two new hairstyles for Yandere-chan.
• Slightly updated Cirno Mode textures.

May 14th, 2018

• Performed more work on the Photography Club’s clubroom. I’m still not done working on it, but if you take a second look at it now, you may understand it a bit better.
• When they are alone, delinquents now use an updated "texting on smartphone" animation that looks much more appropriate for a "tough guy" type of character.
• Musume now loses the "Phone Addict" persona and switches to the "Coward" persona after being kidnapped and held for ransom.
• Male students’ hands will no longer clip into their phones when they are checking their phones before class begins.
• Way back on June 3rd, 2015, I implemented the "Bancho" easter egg. Recently, I accidentally activated this easter egg while trying to use a debug command, and saw it for the first time in years. I realized that it’s incredibly boring — it doesn’t even have any sort of functionality or attack associated with it! I decided to spice it up with a new appearance, new animations, and an attack animation. It’s very similar in nature to other easter eggs we’ve had in the past, but still, I couldn’t resist updating it; I didn’t want to leave Bancho Mode in such a boring state.

May 15th, 2018

• Female students will now use a different animation when texting on their phones; the previous "ditzy, carefree, air-headed" texting animation was only meant to be used by Midori.
• Updated the icons that appear in the "Challenges" section of the Calendar screen. (Bet you forgot all about that screen, huh?)
• Delinquents will no longer stop and pose for a photo if you aim your camera at them while you’re in the Photography Club.
• Made further adjustments to the Photography Club (it’s still not done yet).

May 18th, 2018

• Changed the wording of the text that displays when a club disbands because of a dead club leader so that it applies to more types of circumstances.
• Cowards will no longer use the Phone Addict reaction to murder if they are holding a smartphone when they witness a murder.
• Adjusted the rotation of the doors in the plaza area so that they won’t clip into the hedges near the walls of the plaza.
• Added a few more props to the Announcement Room.

June

June 1st, 2018

• Added 5 new characters and two new Personas.
• Added some props to one of the gym storage rooms

June 2nd, 2018

• Added a little bit more space between lines when talking to a Club Leader so that their sentences don’t begin too quickly after their previous lines.
• Changed Rojasu’s surname (his previous surname was a typo).

June 3rd, 2018

• Updated the Sleuth Persona’s "investigate" animation so that it looks more natural, and made them stand farther away from their targets so that they look like they’re checking out the vicinity rather than closely examining one person.
• Gave the Photography Club new "carefree talking" and "serious talking" animations that might feel a little more natural.
• Adjusted Rojasu’s animations a bit to give him that "chill" vibe I was going for.
• Tweaked Horuda’s portrait.

June 5th, 2018

• When a female student is standing while texting on a smartphone, the smartphone should no longer be tilted at a strange angle.
• Adjusted the headmaster’s code so that when he rotates to face Yandere-chan, his movements look more natural.
• Updated the "burning to death" animation for male students so they close their eyes at the end.
• Students should no longer get stuck on doors when trying to pass through a doorway.

June 7th, 2018

• Changed some of the Photography Club’s poses in their student portraits (but I will probably continue to tweak Rojasu and Sukubi’s poses and expressions, since I’m not satisfied with them yet).
• Removed debug commands from the Welcome scene (the first scene that displays when you launch the game) because some people were activating those commands by accident and getting confused.
• Updated Senpai’s "reacting to creepy behavior from Yandere-chan" game over animation so he doesn’t step so far backwards, to prevent him from clipping into any props or walls behind him.
• Heroic students will now sprint to the source of a scream as soon as they hear one, instead of pausing for several seconds and then walking slowly to the source of the scream.
• Updated the Photography Club’s textures to give them color schemes that are less derivative of pre-existing characters with similar hairstyles.
• Added buildings in the distance outside of the school to represent the small town that is supposed to be outside of Akademi High.
• Updated the colliders of the school’s stairways so that it doesn’t feel like there are invisible walls near the stairways.
• Adjusted the size of Beruma’s glasses.

July

July 1st, 2018

• Added another set of background tracks to the game, one for each combination of sanity and atmosphere — a total of 9 new tracks! It’s the 6th set of background tracks added to the game.
• You can now use the "Void Goddess" (spider demon lady) to teleport students to your position, for testing / debugging features that require certain characters being present in a specific location to witness certain things.
• Adjusted chair colliders in classrooms so that students should no longer be able to get stuck on their chairs when trying to leave their classrooms / sit down at their seats.
• Added an extra curtain entrance to the Photography Club’s hangout so that they can no longer be blocked from entering their own hangout by Yandere-chan.
• Adjusted pathfinding timing so that students don’t frequently change course all the time (less robotic behavior, more fluid and human behavior).
• Added 15 new characters and gave them routines that involve interacting with various new props placed around the school.
• Added collision boxes to the school gym, so the player can no longer walk through the walls.
• Added Fureddo’s armband to his student portrait.
• Improved Yandere-chan’s "Ibuki" hair model.
• Added two news hairstyle for Yandere-chan.
• Improved Rojasu and Sukubi’s portraits.
• Added functional doors to the gym.

July 2nd, 2018

• The player can now activate a club leader’s club-related dialogue options by speaking to them whenever they are within 10 meters of their club routine area, instead of having to speak to them when they are standing still inside of their club.
• The club characters will now stop holding props in their hands when the player has aimed a camera at their faces.
• If a delinquent sees Yandere-chan holding a bully’s corpse, they will now react with the "Evil Persona" reaction.
• Removed the nameplates that were mistakenly placed inside of the gym’s storage rooms.
• Restored missing geometry on the exterior of the school gym.
• Adjusted a few characters’ personas.

July 3rd, 2018

• To make sure that his profile description ("a man of few words") matches his behavior, Geiju now speaks exclusively in extremely short, apathetic, one-word or two-word sentences when interacting with Yandere-chan.
• Adjusted the Student Information box so that text can’t be right up against the borders of the box.
• Updated Geiju’s portrait to accurately reflect the color of his glasses.
• Removed some expensive debug calls that were lowering the framerate.
• Fixed typos in student profiles.

July 4th, 2018

• Students should no longer be able to get stuck on open doors on the school’s rooftop.
• Geiju will now say a shorter sentence when reacting to Yandere-chan’s misbehavior.

July 13th, 2018

• Decorated the bullies’ bags with stickers and pins.
• Updated Kaga’s hair model and portrait.

July 18th, 2018

• In order to prevent the player from accidentally resetting the day when they didn’t mean to, the "Reset Day" debug command now requires the player to hold down the "~" key for 1 second, instead of tapping it.
• If you press the "L" key at the Settings menu, all settings will drop to the lowest level. This will improve the framerate. (If you press "L" and then turn on anti-aliasing, it actually looks pretty okay!)
• When the player is spotted in Mission Mode, a text box will now inform the player of exactly which student spotted them.
• The Settings menu now allows the player to change the sensitivity of the camera.
• Added one new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.

July 24th, 2018

• Added another background track to the school; now there are 7 different tracks you might hear while walking around school. (And each of those tracks has a variation for every combination of sanity/atmosphere.)
• Changed the layout of the exterior of the school so that the pool, gym, and running track are closer together, and located closer to the shower areas.
• Temporarily disabled depth-of-field, since it was causing a bug where objects would become blurry if viewed in front of a transparent object.
• Added a text box to the Custom Music menu with instructions so that people will be able to understand how to use it properly.
• Added some posters on the hallways.
• Changed the backdrop outside of the school.
• It’s no longer possible for Yandere-chan to exit the locker room while she is nude.
• Added a shower area for male students.

• Added 5 new students to the game — the Sports Club!
• In the morning, they jog on the school’s running track. In the afternoon, they swim in the school pool.
• Their daily routine involves changing into two different outfits (a jogging tracksuit and swimming trunks).
• Their club activities involve 7 different animations, way more than most other students, who usually only have about 1 or 2 club-related animations.
• When they dive into water, their hair gets wet, and their hair model changes shape to reflect the fact that their hair has become soaking wet.
• Each member of the Sports Club has a different level of strength, and when they take off their clothing, the player can see different levels of muscle definition on their bodies.

July 25th, 2018

• Attempted to improve pathfinding so that Sports Club members won’t take shortcuts across the grass field when running on the track behind the school.
• Sports Club students will no longer attempt to use the same ladder as other students when climbing out of the pool.
• Changed the text that displays on the Student Info screen when a student’s strength is the maximum value.
• Reduced length of one of the Sports Club stretching animations.

August

August 18th, 2018

• Added 9 new characters to the game.
• Added 2 new clubs to the game — Cooking and Drama. (Arguably, it’s 3 new clubs, since the Gaming Club has completely changed).
• Added 1 new task to the game. This is the first task that has utility outside of simply befriending a student; it impacts other characters’ routines.

• It is no longer possible to activate "High School Population" mode, since it was a feature that always required a lot of maintenance, and it’s no longer necessary, since the school’s population is pretty high as it already is.
• When talking to a club leader in a clubroom, it is now possible to switch from discussing the club to discussing other topics by pressing the "F" key (or the X button on Xbox controller).
• A fragile student will no longer agree to meet you to discuss bullying in a classroom; they’ll only agree to meet you in a place with few people (like behind the school or the rooftop).
• It is no longer possible for Nemesis to disguise herself as a club leader, since it could prevent the player from being able to join a club they need to join in Mission Mode.
• Removed Oka Ruto from the game and made Shin Higaku the president of the Occult Club.
• Removed the "Rainbow Girls" and "Rainbow Boys" except for Kokona, Riku, and Saki.

September

September 3rd, 2018

• It is now possible to learn a student’s opinions on various topics by befriending the student, then asking them to follow you around school, and then walking by various important locations (such as clubrooms, library, incinerator, etc). As of now, only Kokona has opinions on topics, but other students will be updated with opinions evenutally.
• To make it clear that the player must befriend Kokona in order to be able to use the "Offer Help" command, the text "Must Befriend Student First" now appears when attempting to offer help to Kokona before befriending her.

• There is now a bucket of red paint in the Art Club. The player can use this bucket to splatter themselves with red paint to give themselves the appearance of being splattered with blood. There is a reason to do this, but instead of describing it, I’d like to see who can figure it out.

• In the guidance counselor’s office, the player is given several dialogue options, and must figure out which one will get them out of trouble (or result in the least-harsh punishment).

• Unlike everyone else in the game, the counselor’s mouth moves when she talks!
• The Light Music Club members walk around with instruments, and practice playing their instruments in secluded spots so that they don’t pester anyone.

October 31st, 2018

• From now on, if Yandere-chan is eavesdropping on a student, the act of eavesdropping will only be suspicious to the person who is having a private conversation.

• From now on, when you take a photo of something that has a use for Yandere-chan (like a photo of panties), a text box will appear at the top of the screen and display the name of whatever you have just photographed. If you take a photo of a Task-related subject (such as the kitten, or Miyuji playing air guitar) you’ll see the name of that subject appear at the top of the screen, too. This should help the player to confirm that they have taken a photograph of something that satisfies the requirements of a Task.
• From now on, whenever you speak to a student, all Light Music Club members’ instruments will decrease in volume so that the sound of their instruments doesn’t overpower the voice of the student you’re speaking to. Their volume will return to normal when you stop speaking to the student.
• Thanks to help from AMZE, female characters now have more distinct faces. As of now, no two female characters have a 100 % identical face, although there are characters with very similar faces (within 1 % of one another). Their current faces are not necessarily final, and may continue to change in the future.
• Fixed the camera that provides a view of an object striking Kokona after it has been dropped from the roof (press "Q" when dropping something on Kokona to see this camera).

January

January 1st, 2019

• Removed Study-kun A and Study-kun B. Their purpose was to allow the player to deduce what Kokona was attracted to (slick hair, intelligence) but now that the school has other male students with those traits, the Study-kuns are no longer necessary.
• Added two new background music tracks to Mission Mode (there are now 8 tracks in total). You can change the music that plays in Mission Mode by opening the pause screen and selecting the music icon during Mission Mode gameplay.

January 15th, 2019

• When aiming Yandere-chan’s camera, you can now switch to a "selfie" camera angle. The selfie angle allows you to be more discreet when taking a photo, because bystanders will assume that you’re taking a photo of yourself, rather than their face or their panties. In the selfie angle, your goal is to take a photograph of something to the side of Yandere-chan, rather than directly in the center of the screen. You can press a button to activate a little guide that shows you where your target should be located on the screen.
• It is now possible to open/close the school gate by pressing a button near the spot where the gym teacher stands in the morning. You cannot press the button if the gym teacher is nearby.

• If Toga consumes emetic poison, he will go the bathroom and vomit. His appetite will be gone, so he will return to class early.
• If Toga consumes lethal poison, he will die.
• If Toga consumes a sedative, he will become drowsy and go to the infirmary to nap. He’ll return to normal once it’s time to return to class.

February

February 1st, 2019

• It’s now possible to drown a student who is vomitting into a toilet.
• Vomitting students will now make vomitting sound effects.
• Horuda now eats lunch in the school cafeteria, facing Toga. This is to give players a good location for testing how students react to seeing someone die from poison, testing a student’s reaction to murder during a poison animation, etc.
• If you put a headache-inducing substance into a student’s bento, that student will visit the nurse and ask for medicine to numb the pain. This will cause the nurse to visit the medicine cabinet and retrieve some pills for the student. The student will eat the pills and then spend time resting on the couch in the infirmary until their headache goes away.
• The tranquilizer that is used to kidnap students is now inside of the infirmary’s medicine cabinet. The only way to obtain the tranquilizer is to give a student a headache so that they go to the nurse and make the nurse open the medicine cabinet.
• Drinking fountains have been added to the school, and it is possible for Yandere-chan to use the water from these fountains to wash the blood off of weapons.

• There is now a new vending machine in school that allows Yandere-chan to purchase a bag of chips. Yandere-chan can offer the chips to any student in school. After eating the chips, the student will become thirsty, and will go to the nearest drinking fountain to drink water.
• Most Students’ lunchtime routines have been adjusted. They now sit and eat lunch together. (In the future, I may decide to change the locations where they eat food.)
• From now on, whenever the player attempts to attend class during circumstances when it’s not possible to do so (because the player is holding a bloody weapon or something like that) a notification will appear onscreen to inform the player of the reason why they currently cannot attend class.
• Updated the layout of the infirmary; it needed more beds, because now it’s possible for numerous students to be resting in the infirmary simultaneously.

• Changed Kyuji/Toga’s reaction to a camera being aimed at their face.
• Added new idle/walk animations for Toga.

• Added 1 new track to Mission Mode.

• On a completely unrelated note, you can open the Easter Egg menu and press F2 to see an experiment that was inspired by the work of LuigiSake!

February 15th, 2019

• Obtain a roll of masking tape in the Art Club.
• Find a cardboard box in the Incinerator area, and use the masking tape to tape the cardboard box shut.
• Wear gloves to avoid getting your fingerprints onto a murder weapon.
• Stab a box cutter into the taped cardboard box.
• Present the stabbed box to a student and ask for help getting the box cutter out. The student will agree, and put their fingerprints onto the box cutter.

• Yandere-chan can now leave a note in anyone’s locker, not just Kokona’s locker. This means she can direct anyone to the school rooftop, a fountain where they can be drowned, or an area where an object can be dropped on their head. The process is described below:
• Find a piece of paper pinned to one of the columns in the locker area, and interact with it.
• A screen will appear, displaying all of the students that Yandere-chan has information on. Select a student, an arrow will appear above that student’s locker. This allows you to leave a note at that student’s locker.
• In order for a student to take a note seriously, the note must relate to that student’s interests. (The student’s Persona is the biggest clue.)
• Student lockers have been re-designed, but the "interact with lockers" animations have not been updated yet. The animations will, hopefully, be updated in the near future.

• The "bucket of water above door" trap can now be used on any student, not just Kokona. As a result, now any student can now be drenched in liquid — water, blood, or gasoline.
• If you would like to ignite a student who has been doused in gasoline, you now have another option besides flicking a match at them; you can now obtain a candle and place it on the ground. If a student steps on a candle while doused in gasoline, they will burst into flames!
• If a student is doused with liquid, they become paranoid and become wary of traps. If you try to make a paranoid student pass through a door that has a bucket of water above it, they will dodge out of the way of the bucket when it falls. As a result, you cannot douse a student with liquid twice in one day.
• Yandere-chan can no longer trip while carrying a bucket.

• Many people suggested that the player could learn about gameplay mechanics from watching anime or reading manga inside of Yandere-chan’s room. It sounds like a fun idea, so I’ve decided to test it out; you can now find a new feature in Yandere-chan’s room. What you can currently find in-game is a rough prototype of the concept, and it will most likely be improved upon in the future.
• All students’ Cleaning Time routines have been re-designed; there are no longer any bugs where a male student cleans toilets in the girls’ bathroom, or bugs where a character spins in circles at the school gate during cleaning time.
• I recently had an epiphany regarding something that could potentially improve the framerate a lot. Please tell me if you see a noticeable difference in the framerate between the previous build and this new build!
• I’ve updated the 3D models for the glasses that the player can put on Senpai at the Senpai Customization screen.
• If you open the debug menu and press the F8 key, you can…"censor"…all of the blood in the game.
• Added a new weapon to the game, found in the Light Music Club room. The current SFX are temporary.

February 16th, 2019

• It is now possible to dump a bucket of liquid or weights off the school roof onto a student who is standing directly behind the school.

• If anyone witnesses you touch a gasoline-doused student with a candle, they will recognize that you are committing murder and react according to their Persona.
• Expanded the size of the candle flame’s collider so that it’s less likely for a gasoline-doused student to slip right past it without catching on fire.
• Made adjustments to Yandere-chan’s character collider in an attempt to reduce chances of Yandere-chan getting stuck while walking up stairs.

• From now on, if Yandere-chan gets too close to a student who is on fire, she will back away in pain.

• Bullies will now react positively to a note in their locker mentioning "juicy gossip".
  • A student who is soaking wet will no longer shove Yandere-chan.
  • Fixed typos in the End-of-Day Results sequence.

February 17th, 2019

• Changed the Occult Club’s daily routine. Now, instead of spending all day inside of their clubroom, they walk around school and attempt to research "The Seven Mysteries of Akademi High" — a series of urban legends that are associated with the school. Currently, you can only see them research 5 of the 7 mysteries.
• Added some new props to the school — a painting, some mirrors, a basketball, a piano, and an anatomical figure. These are connected to "The Seven Mysteries". The 7 mysteries will play a larger role during Oka Ruto’s week at school.
• Adjusted pathfinding grid so that students might be more likely to walk down the center of a hallway instead of sticking to the walls.
• Male Sports Club members’ bodies now have varying degrees of musculature (thanks to help from EpicMealDev).
• It is no longer possible to put a bloody box cutter into a cardboard box.

February 18th, 2019

• Changed the Martial Arts Club’s daily routine; They now walk around school and practice martial arts in different locations. This increases the chance that they will become witnesses to your crimes.
• Adjusted the hedges in the center plaza so that it’s no longer possible for Yandere-chan to become trapped between a closed door and a hedge.
• Slight adjustment to the "leave a note in a student’s locker" feature; adjusting which subjects are interesting to which students.
• Adjusted the two mirrors at the top of the northeast staircase so that they are no longer rendering the game’s skybox.
• Added another Japanese garden to the school; this one is nearby the outdoor cafeteria area.
• Made a tiny tweak to Akademi High’s exterior.

February 19th, 2019

• When Yandere-chan dumps liquid or weights off the roof and presses the "Q" key (or "B" on Xbox controller), the player will see a little picture-in-picture camera view of the liquid/weights falling and hitting the ground (or its target).
• Updated the Martial Arts Club’s hair colors and eye colors, since their old colors always bothered me a little.
• Updated the texture for the painting in the Art Room (separate from the Art Club).
• Fixed typo that caused headache poison to be labeled as "Emetic Poison".
• Lowered the file size of some textures that were too big.

February 10th, 2019

• When using a candle to kill a student, witnesses will now acknowledge *which* student you were killing; this means that a student’s loved one will react to the murder by attempting to apprehend you.
• From now on, students will refuse to help you take a box cutter out of a box if you’re splattered with blood while making the request.
• From now on, the Student Council will evade bucket traps, since they are too perceptive to fall for such tricks.
• From now on, when you destroy a weapon using the incinerator, it won’t re-appear at school on subsequent days.
• It is now possible to drown a student who is cleaning a toilet bowl.
• Fixed typos in student profiles.

March

March 2nd, 2019

• If a student finds a pool of blood, they will walk over to it and investigate it. After confirming that they have discovered blood, the student will run and tell a teacher. The student and teacher will run to the location where the blood was spotted. If the teacher doesn’t find blood (because the player has cleaned it up), she will assume she is being pranked, and return to the faculty room. If the teacher does find blood, she will call the police.
• If any character witnesses Yandere-chan mopping up blood, they will realize that Yandere-chan is trying to cover up the evidence of a crime, and will react according to their persona.
• If a student has lost a teacher’s trust, they won’t bother to reporting things to teachers anymore, and instead will go hide in a classroom where they feel safe.
• If a second student finds blood while another student is already reporting the blood, the second student will go wait in class while the blood is being reported.
• Everything stated above also applies to dismembered limbs and bloody weapons, as well.

• If the player picks up an object that can be used as a weapon and drops it more than 10 meters away from its initial location, that object will be considered to be suspicious and dangerous, and students will react to it upon seeing it.
• The first student to locate a suspicious/dangerous object will run and tell a teacher about it. Other students will simply ignore it and return to their daily routine.
• If a teacher finds a suspicious/dangerous object (but doesn’t find any evidence of a crime) they will pick up the object and bring it to the faculty room.
• A teacher’s fingerprints cannot be transferred onto a weapon. To make this more clear to the player, I will most likely adjust the "teacher picks up weapon" animation so that teachers use a handkerchief to pick up objects, instead of picking up objects with their bare hands.
• Removed a debug command in Yandere-chan’s room that people were triggering accidentally.
• Began to update the girls’ locker room with new models.
• Updated the textures of the bullies’ phones so that their screens aren’t blank.
• Updated shaders that weren’t being affected by changes in lighting.
• Added 1 new hairstyle and 1 new accessory for Yandere-chan.
• Updated Yamiko’s clothing in the Life Note cutscene.
• Added voice-acting to the Life Note cutscene.

March 5th, 2019

• Characters will now react to the sight of Yandere-chan carrying bloody clothing. The action is considered the same as carrying around evidence of murder (like a severed limb).
• Removed the "students react to footsteps at low school atmosphere" feature, since it was changing the intended game design significantly and creating weird exploits. The feature may eventually be re-added if I can figure out a better implementation.
• If there are bloodstains present at school when the police arrive (but no corpses) the text that displays during the End-of-Day sequence will reflect this.
• If a student reports a severed limb to a teacher, the teacher will ignore less-important things (like dropped weapons) on the way to investigate the limb.
• If a student reports a corpse to a teacher, the teacher will ignore less-important things (like dropped weapons) on the way to investigate the corpse.
• If the police arrest someone, school atmosphere will go up, since the population of the school believes that the perpetrator has been caught.
• If Yandere-chan picks up a weapon while a teacher is walking over to investigate that weapon, Yandere-chan will get in trouble.
• Removed the matchbox from Info-chan’s Drops menu, since the mechanics for setting someone on fire no longer involve matches.
• Characters will now react to the sight of bloody clothing on the ground, and will report bloody clothing to teachers.
• Yandere-chan will now wear a towel over her body when she takes off her clothing in the girls’ locker room.

• Reduced the amount of time that students are willing to pose for a photograph in Mission Mode, to nerf an exploit that allowed the player to separate a student from other students by aiming a camera at them for a long time.
• Changed the font used for the Mission Mode menu, because it had unintended side-effects when the game was running with 1/8 textures.
• When a corpse is discovered in Mission Mode, the game will now display the name of the character who discovered the corpse.

March 15th, 2019

• Some weapons look suspicious and dangerous (like the Occult Club’s knife) and other weapons look like harmless everyday objects (like scissors or a screwdriver). If a student finds a dangerous-looking weapon, they will report it to a teacher. However, if a student finds a harmless-looking weapon, they will pick it up with their bare hands and put it back where it belongs.
• Students who are leading teachers to suspicious objects (or teachers who are following students to suspicious objects) will no longer be affected by liquid coming out of bucket traps. It would simply create too many new scenarios.
• Students will no longer react to bloody uniforms as if they are witnessing murder (but teachers will still assume that Yandere-chan has committed a crime if they see her carrying around a bloody uniform).
• Selecting the music note in the pause screen menu will now display an "Audio Settings" menu where the player can adjust the game’s background music, or turn it off.
• From now on, if Yandere-chan tries to take a weapon out of the faculty room’s storage box while teachers can see her, she will instantly get in trouble for it.
• Fixed a problem with the teacher’s "calling the cops" animation that would cause her arm to twitch while making the phone call.
• From now on, students who are told to "Go Away" will go to the hedge maze, rather than the school roof.
• Teachers will now use a handkerchief when picking up a weapon that has been dropped on the ground.

March 17th, 2019

• The player can now find an ID card in the faculty room. If Yandere-chan carries this ID card with her while walking through a metal detector, the detector will ignore her.
• Changed the criteria that will make a student willing/unwilling to pick up an object. Students will now pick up most objects (as long as the object isn’t obviously dangerous).
• Students will no longer put misplaced objects back in their proper place if the student hasn’t even put their shoes on yet.
• A student who is carrying food will no longer pick up misplaced objects if they are in the process of handing out food.
• Students will now refuse to pick up misplaced objects if they are on their way to class.
• Added a new easter egg to the game! If you open the Easter Egg Menu, you’ll see a new addition. If an easter egg isn’t listed in the Easter Egg Menu, this means that it doesn’t have any functionality yet.

March 31st, 2019

• Increased speed of Enigma Mode attack animations and also allowed the player to cancel the animations by inputting movement. Attacking in this Mode should now feel faster, more fluid, and more satisfying.
• Male characters now have male voiced lines when reacting to a note in their locker / being pushed off the roof / being splashed with liquid.
• Updated the "exchanging shoes at locker" animations so that students are no longer interacting with invisible doors.
• Updated the "finding note in locker" animations so that students are no longer interacting with invisible doors.
• Students will now refuse to pick up metal objects if metal detectors are present at school.
• Added new sound effects for the guitar weapon.

April

April 1st, 2019

• Evolved Yandere Simultator to its permanent final form.
• Reduced the femininity of the game by 100 %.
• Increased the masculinity of the game by 1000 %.

April 2nd, 2019

• Yaku’s visor will now do a better job of reflecting his emotions (sad eyes if he lost the trust of a teacher, angry eyes if he holds a grudge against Yandere-chan, pained eyes if he eats poisoned food, etc).
• From now on, a student who has been told to distract a bully will give up if they witness the bully bullying someone.
• Cooking Club members will no longer attempt to feed characters who are already eating a snack.
• "Man Mode" is now accessible from the Easter Egg menu.

April 12th, 2019

• Added a new type of mission to Mission Mode — "Multi Mission". This allows the player to play a mission with up to 10 different targets. You can also select the exact method for killing them. I might expand on this mode in the future, depending on whether or not anyone is interested in it.
• Added a debug command to the debug menu that will obscure the screen whenever an attack animation is playing.
• The Student Council will now send you to the guidance counselor when they catch you doing something that a teacher would yell at you for. (But will still pepper spray you if they think that their life is in danger.)
• Removed Kokona’s lunchtime event, since that event only existed so that the player could test the bento-poisoning mechanic, and the bento-poisoning feature is now available for all students.
• From now on, when a student sees a suspicious object, they will only react to it once, instead of continuously reacting to it until it leaves their field of vision.
• From now on, after successfully pick-pocketing a character, a little notification will appear at the top of the screen to inform the player that they have succeeded.
• Added voice lines for the new dialogue that was given to teachers in recent updates (reacting to blood pools, bloody weapons, dismembered limbs, etc).
• It is now possible to push a student off the rooftop while they are dusting off erasers near the rooftop railing.
• Adjusted "Kill All" debug command so that it can kill student council members in addition to normal students.
• Added tutorial pop-ups. The pop-ups can be disabled with a single button push, if they’re annoying.
• Female students now wear towels in the locker room instead of stripping completely naked.
• Added a new easter egg to the Easter Egg Menu.

April 18th, 2019

• When Yandere-chan stands in front of a door, a little pop-up appears at the bottom right corner of the screen, telling the player the name of the room they’re trying to enter (such as "Announcement Room"). Due to a bug, this pop-up was sometimes displaying the name of a room *above* the current room. This bug has been fixed.
• Pressing the Debug Key during Mission Mode will now open up a small debug menu that allows the user to choose whether or not they would like to censor panties/blood/weapon-based killing animations.
• When pushing the Q Key (or the B button on gamepad) while pushing someone off the roof, you will now see a picture-in-picture view of that person hitting the ground.
• If you speak to a student after putting a note in their locker, you can now see a button prompt that will cause the student to go check their locker for the note.
• Added a map to the game! Press spacebar (or "Back" on the Xbox Controller — where "Select" would be on a PS2 controller) to open it
• Tutorial pop-ups can no longer appear while the Cinematic Camera is active (this could create the impression that the game had frozen).
• During a Multi Mission, the pause screen will now communicate which students are dead and which ones are still alive.
• Added a short animation that will play whenever Yandere-chan equips or de-equips a weapon.
• Yandere-chan will no longer be bald when aiming her camera in Cinematic Camera Mode.
• Tutorial pop-ups are now automatically disabled in Mission Mode.
• Added 5 more tutorial pop-ups to the game, for a total of 15.

April 24th, 2019

• If a student takes photograph of Yandere-chan committing a crime with their smartphone, and is subsequently killed by Yandere-chan, the police can still discover that Yandere-chan is a criminal by checking the student’s dropped smartphone and finding the incriminating photo. To prevent this, the player is now required to destroy the dropped smartphones of anyone who has taken a picture of Yandere-chan committing a crime. (There is no animation for it yet, but you can still break phones).
• Senpai has a strong sense of justice, and has disdain for people who commit evil behind a veil of anonymity. The sight of a masked murderer would fill Senpai with disgust and cause him to disregard his own safety and unmask the murderer at all costs. This means that if Senpai sees Yandere-chan commit murder while wearing a mask, he’ll run up and rip the mask off her face, which will cause an instant game over.
• From now on, it is only possible to put a mask on, or take a mask off, if no student can currently see you.
• The Occult Club’s leader will now spend time in the Occult Club from 5:00 PM onwards, since otherwise, it’s difficult for the player to attend the Occult Club’s daily club activity.
• Yandere-chan can now perform a kidnapping if she has a sedative purchased from Info-chan, instead of being limited to using a tranquilizer stolen from the infirmary.
• During the Occult Club’s club activity sequence, the number of characters in black robes will now reflect the current number of living Occult Club members.
• When viewing the map, you will now see some text informing you of what floor you are currently viewing (bottom floor, rooftop, etc).
• If any of the bullies are dead, then the player can’t request a task from Gema, since his task would have involved the bullies.
• If the player tries to ask a bully to distract Gema, the bully will refuse, unless Gema’s task has been completed.
• If the player attempts to lead a student into the Headmaster’s office, the student will refuse to go inside.
• Added props to the inside of Info-chan’s "Info Club" room.
• Changed the appearance of the tutorial windows to make the text more legible.
• Moved Kokona’s bag so that it’s actually at Kokona’s desk.
• Rebalanced the difficulty of the struggle minigame.
• A few years ago, a certain dude made a request. I have finally granted it. To see it, walk into the school infirmary, face the nurse, and type a certain phrase using your keyboard. It’s 8 letters long.
• If a teacher witnessed a mind-broken slave commit suicide, and then witnessed Yandere-chan do something suspicious/dangerous, she accused Yandere-chan of murder, but makes more sense for the teacher to assume that you must have *something to do with the murder*, so her dialogue has been adjusted accordingly (but no voiced line yet).

April 25th, 2019

• Yandere-chan is no longer allowed to run away while being chased by a Teacher/Hero/Senpai; it created too many exploits and holes in the game design. Instead, if a character is running at Yandere-chan, she will stare down her pursuer and face them head-on.
• The act of crouch-walking or crawling around on the ground will now be considered suspicious, and will result in the same reaction as maniacal laughter or low sanity.
• If students see you covered in blood and carrying a weapon while School Atmosphere is low, they will automatically assume that you’re a murderer and react accordingly.
• Made a slight adjustment to the static that appears when the player tries to make Yandere-chan leave school before Senpai leaves.
• Updated the appearance of Yandere-chan’s Sailor Moon-inspired hair model.

April 27th, 2019

• Added "Discord Rich Presence" to the game, thanks to assistance from PiranchDev! This means that, if you play Yandere Simulator while logged into Discord, your Discord status will update to "Playing Yandere Simulator" — with additional text describing exactly what you’re currently doing in-game!
• After witnessing murder, Social Butterflies will now run to the largest group of students at school, instead of always running to the plaza.
• From now on, you will see a "Red String of Fate" connecting Senpai to the current rival when Yandere Vision is active. Because there is no rival in the game right now, you will see the Red String connecting Senpai to the "Indestructible Rival" in the school plaza.
• Added short fences in the Japanese gardens to prevent the player from being able to walk on top of water.
• Yandere-chan is now allowed to equip a weapon while a pursuer is charging towards her to apprehend her.
• Students will no longer be willing to follow Yandere-chan if they are currently wearing a swimsuit.
• Added one new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.

April 10th, 2019

• When Yandere-chan’s sanity is very low (less than 33,33 %), she will begin to have "intrusive thoughts" — no matter how hard she tries to concentrate, she will be unable to stop thinking about killing her rival. From the player’s perspective, these thoughts will be perceived as ghostly visions of Yandere-chan performing gruesome murder animations on Osana.
• …she will lose the ability to distinguish people from one another. Because the only person she cares about is her Senpai, everyone else will start to look like a dark blur. Her fellow students will lose all color, and will to appear as black silhouettes.
• …smudges will appear around the edges of the screen.
• …she will become unable to resist her murderous urges, and will automatically attack anyone who is within range.
• …the game’s visuals will become more desaturated.
• Yandere-chan’s current level of sanity will now be represented by a semitransparent number visible over the cardiograph at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
• Crouch-walking or crawling in front of Senpai will no longer result in an instant game over, and instead just creep him out.

May

May 2nd, 2019

• Adjusted the pose that Yandere-chan enters as her sanity deteriorates so that it's less stiff.
• Minor aesthetic changes to various characters (like changing the color of Midori’s socks to make them match her hair).
• The player is no longer allowed to place a bucket trap on the Headmaster’s door, because it could lead to several bugs.
• Adjusted the expression that appears on Yandere-chan’s face as her sanity deteriorates.
• Replaced Horuda’s hair model with a superior one with no bald spot.
• Added one new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.
• Added a new easter egg.

May 6th, 2019

• Because Yandere-chan now wears a towel inside of the locker room, the "Nude" button prompt has been updated to say "Towel" instead.
• Added one new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.

May 15th, 2019

• Restored "Look at a picture of Senpai to restore Sanity" feature.
• The "Censor Attack Animations" command now works with the attack animation that occurs at the end of the Struggle minigame.
• Fixed exploit that allowed the player to attack the Student Council during times when they shouldn’t be vulnerable.
• Teachers and the nurse no longer use the "default" face and have slightly different faces than students.
• When using a picture of Senpai to restore Sanity, the player will hear Yandere-chan release a happy sigh.
• Yandere-chan’s involuntary giggles are now different from her intentional giggles.
• Tweaked the appearance of the skybox slightly.
• Updated "broken smartphone" model.

May 17th, 2019

• Made very minor aesthetic changes to some characters; for example, teachers no longer have blue eyelashes.
• Bullies will no longer have the incorrect skin color when they are wearing a towel or a gym uniform.
• Bullies will no longer wear their accessories when wearing a towel inside the locker room.

June

June 1st, 2019

• From now on, the End-of-Day sequence will include a new segment: eyewitnesses who saw Yandere-chan commit murder will report her to the police. If at least 5 students accuse Yandere-chan of murder, she will be arrested. If less than 5 students accuse her, the police will not have enough justification to arrest her. (Cowardly students will not report the player to the police.)
• Accessories that were programmed to change color when the player pressed the spacebar will now change color when the player presses the Left Alt key instead.
• Fixed baseball bat animations that would cause students to pop up into the air and flail around after being killed.
• Attempted to fix exploit that would allow the player to kill Nemesis from extreme distances.
• Minor aesthetic changes (some male characters were using female face textures).
• Added cool post-processing effects to the Mission Mode menu.
• Added one new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.
• Added a new easter egg.

June 2nd, 2019

• Delinquents and Spiteful students will no longer offer eyewitness reports to the police.

June 15th, 2019

• The player now has a "Cyberstalk" option at their PC at night-time. You can cyber-stalk a student to instantly learn all of their likes/dislikes. To view them, go to their profile and press the R key (or the Y button on controller) to see a grid depicting all of their interests. This is intended to be used as a "cheat sheet" to make the match-making feature easier. It will also be helpful if I eventually re-design the conversation system so that, to gain favor from a student, you need to say positive things about what they like, and say negative things about what they dislike, in order to gain favor with them.
• Finally implemented an intro animation for the game. Senpai’s appearance and the school uniforms are dependent on the player's choices in the Senpai Creation screen.
• When starting a new game, the player will now see a "Message from the Developer" screen after Yandere-chan’s conversation with Info-chan. The purpose of this screen is to clarify something that confuses a lot of newcomers.
• Thanks to advice from a friendly Unity developer, you should now notice improvements to the game’s framerate when looking towards the front of the school at the beginning of the day.
• Updated the Falcon Mode textures and models so that the character is a parody, rather than an exact replica of a per-existing character.
• Updated the Berserk easter egg music with an original track instead of a royalty-free track from the Internet.
• Yandere-chan will now scoot close to a bento when poisoning it, instead of poisoning it from a meter away.
• Students will no longer accuse Ayano of murder if Ayano was wearing a mask at the time of the murder.
• Updated some face textures (some male students were using female face textures).
• Added an animation that will play when Yandere-chan crushes a smartphone.
• Updated the Debunk page with 5 new debunks at the bottom of the list.

July

July 1st, 2019

• While implementing some of the events that occur between Osana and the "Mysterious Obstacle", I discovered that there simply wasn’t enough time in the day for all of Osana’s events to take place. To provide Osana with a longer span of time for her events to take place in, I’ve slowed down the game’s clock; the span of a minute in Yandere Simulator is now approximately 1.5x longer than it was before.
• Updated some characters’ likes and dislikes to be more consistent with what I’ve said about them in the past.
• Re-balanced the price of purchasing a sedative from Info-chan.
• Replaced music that plays during Shipgirl easter egg.

July 3rd, 2019

• Fixed problem with Ryuto’s hair texture that made a weird seam appear at the back of his head.
• Removed a column which was placed in a hallway as a test.
• Restored a character who had been disabled.

July 18th, 2019

• The "Bullying" topic has been restored to the list of topics that the player can write about when leaving a note in a locker.
• Fixed bug that caused female Titans to spawn with towels and male Titans to spawn without face textures.
• Minor cosmetic changes to some characters’ face textures.
• Updated portraits for all characters.
• Re-positioned some of the props in the Science Club, and added one new prop to the Science Club.
• The radio will now emit music notes when music is playing.

August

August 1st, 2019

• Yandere-chan can now access a part-time job from her room — working at a maid cafe!
• Yandere-chan can use the maid minigame to earn money. The player’s current amount of money will be displayed at the top-right corner of the game, beneath the clock.
• It is now possible to use Yandere-chan’s home computer to access an online store. Currently, only one item is sold through this store, but more items will become available in the future.
• From now on, you will have to pay $1.00 to obtain a drink or a snack from the the vending machines at school.

• In the version of the game that contains Osana, debug commands (such as "instantly befriend all students") will not be available. Thus, when I put Osana into the game, it must be possible to befriend all students through normal gameplay, without use of debug commands. In order to befriend a student, the player must do a "Task" for them. However, implementing a "Task" for every student would be extremely time-consuming, and would delay Osana. So, instead of implementing a unique Task for every student, I have decided to implement one generic Task that applies to every student in the game. In the final game, all students will have a unique Task, but for now, most students will simply use this generic placeholder Task.

• Members of the Cooking Club will no longer attempt to give food to any student who is currently waiting to meet someone else as a result of a note in their locker.
• One of Yandere Simulator’s old post-processing effects, "Ambient Occlusion", has been re-enabled. If you dislike it, you can disable it from the Settings menu.
• Until now, the shower buildings were using placeholder exteriors. As of now, the shower buildings have finally been updated with better exteriors.
• Removed the white cube that was floating in the Light Music Club.
• Fixed props in Science Club that were floating in midair.

August 2nd, 2019

• The player is no longer able to receive a Placeholder Task from a delinquent or Gema.
• The text "(PLACEHOLDER TASK — WILL BE REPLACED AFTER DEMO)" will now appear during a Placeholder Task.
• Minor changes to the UI of the online store.
• Minor fixes to paintings in the Art Club.
• Updated sponsors screen.

August 3rd, 2019

• It is no longer possible to collide with the cardboard box in the meme closet, because it could be exploited in various ways.
• The Science Club’s blood-cleaning robot now moves 4x faster and can travel up stairs.

August 15th, 2019

• Each of the delinquents now has a task; this means that it is now possible to befriend all of the delinquents.
• Normal students will do favors for you after you befriend them. However, delinquents function differently; they won’t do favors for you, even if you befriend them. Instead, befriending a delinquent offers different benefits.
• If you befriend a delinquent, they will no longer shove you when you get close, or become alarmed when they see you with a weapon. However, the true benefit of befriending the delinquents is something else entirely:
• If you befriend all delinquents, dye your hair blonde, lower your reputation below −33 %, and use the "Tough" persona, you will be able to speak to Umeji (the delinquent in the yellow shirt) about joining their gang.
• If you join the delinquents, your reputation will never be able to rise higher than −33 %, but you will gain a new command, "Intimidate", which forces students to do favors for you without needing to befriend them first.
• It is now possible to purchase blonde hair dye from the online store accessed in your home.
• When wearing a delinquent mask, press the Left Alt key to change the texture on the mask.
• Replaced the "teacher counters attack" animation with a new one. The original animation was weird, it looked like something an anime villain would do.
• Balanced maid minigame payouts so that it’s possible to achieve $100 on easy mode with perfect gameplay, and $200 on hard mode with perfect gameplay.
• Updated music, credits, and menu background artwork for maid minigame.
• Added one new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.
• Added a new easter egg to the game. When you activate this easter egg, there will be new functionality on the X button, Y button, and RB button. (On keyboard, it’s the F key, R key, and left ctrl key.)
• Updated the "Berserker Mode" easter egg. The Drakeslayer weapon now has unique attack animations when pressing the X or Y buttons (F key or R key).

August 17th, 2019

• Changed the drama club’s silk gloves from white to black, because it looks cooler and matches Yandere-chan’s color scheme.
• Fixed the glitchy physics of Yandere-chan’s latest hairstyle.

August 22nd, 2019

• Removed exploit that allowed players to keep a character stationary indefinitely by talking to a student about their Task and never dismissing the Task Window.
• Adjusted the pathfinding grid so that it should be less likely for a student’s path to the male locker room to be blocked.
• Added voice lines for the "Generic Placeholder" task. (Female only.)
• Turned down the volume of the delinquent leader’s voiced lines, since they were distorted.
• Changed the animation that Yandere-chan performs when she uses the Intimidate option.
• Finally finished implementing the "Tasks" screen accessed from the pause menu.
• Adjusted subtitles for students reacting to certain types of weapons.
• Added a new easter egg — "Witch Mode". Press RB (left ctrl) to activate her power, and then press X (the F key) to activate her secondary power.

August 25th, 2019

• Moved the delinquents to different classrooms (they are 2nd-years and 3rd-years, so they can’t occupy 1st-year classrooms). Horuda and Kuu Dere have been moved to 1st-year classrooms.
• If Yandere-chan talks to a student while standing extremely close to them, she will now back up to a more reasonable distance.
• The "Learned Topic" and "Learned Opinion" messages will now specify exactly what topic/opinion was learned.
• The text on the welcome mat in front of the boys’ locker room is no longer reversed.
• Doors will no longer shove Yandere-chan when they are opening/closing.
• Added sound effects and voices to the maid minigame.

September

September 1st, 2019

• In a student’s profile, you can see a list of their likes/dislikes. Most social butterflies dislike the topic of "Gossip", but were responding positively if the player left a note in their locker about the subject of "Juicy Gossip". To fix this contradiction, I have removed the "Juicy Gossip" option and replaced it with something else that social butterflies would respond positively to.
• Students will now become suspicious of you at 2x the speed that they previously would.
• Teachers will no longer scold you for being late to class if they are not present in the classroom.
• Restored "Near Mode" to the easter egg menu after accidentally removing it in the last build.
• Prevented Osana/Raibaru’s hair from being accessed through Pose Mode.
• Used one of Unity’s compression options to lower the file size of the build. This is a test-drive to see if it negatively impacts the build.

September 15th, 2019

• It is no longer possible to commit murder if there is no spare clothing available at school (it would lead to a situation where the player is stuck in a towel in the locker room and has no way of obtaining any more clean clothing). There is a tutorial pop-up explaining this if the player attempts to attack someone without any spare clothing at school.
• People reported that the game was crashing when they attempted to load into the school environment. This may have been due to the new compression I was testing out, so I’ve disabled it.
• Added a wooden platform behind the legendary cherry tree. (This is to allow a place for potential witnesses to stand.)
• Re-designed some aspects of the the plaza area. (This is to facilitate that option of stealth gameplay during Osana’s week.)
• Replaced Musume Ronshaku’s old task with a new one (her old task was too similar to one of the delinquent tasks).
• Adjusted student likes/dislikes (Every student needs at least 5 likes and 5 dislikes for gameplay purposes).
• Added a little visual effect that appears when Yandere-chan giggles.
• Added one new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.
• Updated two student portraits.

September 16th, 2019

• The game will now remember your preferences when resetting the day / resetting the week.
• It’s no longer possible to speak to a student who is investigating a weapon/blood pool/limb on the ground.
• Cooking Club students should no longer attempt to give food to a student who has walked out of school.
• The "Invert Y Axis" setting will now also invert the Y axis when aiming the camera in first-person mode.
• Updated teachers’ clothing textures and adjusted their models slightly.
• For gameplay reasons, expanded the size of students’ vision cones.
• Updated the text in Horuda Puresu’s profile.

September 18th, 2019

• Students with unique walk animations where they put their hands near their faces (like Beruma and Toga) will no longer use those animations while carrying cleaning items (because the cleaning items would clip into their faces).
• Yandere-chan will no longer be considered suspicious when carrying a guitar if she is in the Light Music club.
• Students now have reactions to seeing Yandere-chan carry a fire extinguisher, pipe wrench, or guitar.
• Fixed a prop that was floating in midair in the Photography Club.

September 21st, 2019

• Using the debug turtle to clean clothing will no longer result in a scenario where the game believes that there is no clean clothing present at school.
• Added teeth to Yandere-chan’s smile on the title screen.
• Reduced the volume of the woodchipper and radio.
• Yandere-chan now has a different line for complimenting male students.
• Fixed some inaccurate subtitles for certain students’ Tasks.
• Added warning message to the debug turtle menu.
• Added a new easter egg.

September 26th, 2019

• When playing with a controller, it will now rumble in certain situations. (Currently, the controller will only rumble during attack animations, when you alarm a student, when the counselor slams her desk, during the game over sequence, and during a few key moments in the intro animation.)
• The player now has the option of going into the Settings menu and enabling "Toggle" for running. This means that in order to run, you only have to tap the Shift key once, instead of permanently holding down the Shift key.
• Changed the nature of the cello case so that it can no longer be used for weird exploits (like blocking students’ paths, or climbing on top of it). As a result, it is possible to clip into the cello case, but this is necessary to fix exploits.
• Added a new feature to the mech easter egg. Press the "X" button (or "F" key) to power up the mech’s weapons. This will cause your attacks to destroy parts of the environment.
• Phone addicts will no longer use their smartphones while walking through the girls’ locker room wearing a towel.
• Adjusted bathroom stalls that were clipping into walls in the girls’ locker room.
• Yandere-chan’s ears will no longer become dark when she loses her sanity.
• Added collision to some objects that previously lacked collision.
• Adjusted the texture for Yandere-chan’s "lost sanity" eyes.
• Fixed some typos.

October

October 1st, 2019

• A stealth attack will now cause a small amount of noise, enough to alert anyone who is extremely close by (within 2 meters). As a result, it is no longer possible to easily kill an entire group of students when they are walking in a "conga line". (Eventually, I will probably adjust student pathfinding so that they are never forming "conga lines" in the first place…)
• The game now acknowledges the mech in the science club as an easter egg, meaning that the game will start using "easter egg logic" once Yandere-chan gets into the mech (for example, while the mech is active, the police won’t arrive at school before 6:00 PM, so that your time in the mech isn’t cut short).
• The little box that displays the name of a room behind a door is now displaying the proper text when Yandere-chan approaches a toilet stall.
• If the police arrive at school after the player has activated an easter egg, you will now see a special outcome.
• Delinquents will now refuse to go check their locker for a note unless you have befriended them first.
• The low-sanity murder hallucinations now carry weapons, and are no longer misaligned.
• The player is now able to adjust the game’s settings while in Yandere-chan’s home.
• Replaced the "pushing male student off roof" voice clip with a much better one.
• The headmaster can no longer taze you if an easter egg is active.
• Moved some props that were clipping into walls.

October 4th, 2019

• It is now impossible for Yandere-chan to dismember a corpse if there are no clean uniforms present at school (because this would create a situation where the player is bloody and cannot possibly switch into a clean uniform.)
• It is now possible for Yandere-chan to stealth attack a student with a bat or a weight, even if there are no clean uniforms present at school, since the act of doing so would not stain her clothing.
• The controller will now vibrate in sync with Yandere-chan’s heartbeat when she is near Senpai.
• When spying on Gema, the bullies will no longer fuse into one entity while in their "waiting" pose (they will stand slightly apart from one another).
• Fixed some typos.
• Adjusted Info-chan’s prices.

October 17th, 2019

• It is now possible to purchase a Fake ID from Info-chan’s "Drops" menu. It currently lacks functionality, but may have a purpose in the future.
• The "stop time" debug command (pause key when the debug menu is open) will now prevent the police timer from counting down.
• Adjusted the texture that appears on Yandere-chan’s eyes when she is using Yandere Vision.
• Added a new Headmaster cassette tape!
• It is now possible to exit Yandere-chan’s room at nighttime and visit a street.
• It is possible to interact with each store, but it is not possible to buy anything yet. The items listed for sale are placeholders.
• I only have one shopkeeper portrait right now, but in the future, each store will have a unique shopkeeper.

October 19th, 2019

• Reduced the blur effect in the street scene.
• The coin-operated binoculars in the street scene no longer have controls that are inverted from normal gameplay controls.
• There is now an "Are you sure?" prompt that appears before the player goes to the Maid Cafe menu.
• Adjusted placement of text prompts in the street scene to prevent clipping issues.
• Mei Mio has her glasses again.

October 10th, 2019

• Limited the player’s ability to speed up or slow down time in the street scene.
• Adjusted the post-processing effects in the street scene.
• Removed smudge from convenience store clerk artwork.

October 21st, 2019

• It is no longer possible to be shoved by a delinquent who is currently reacting to being poisoned with any type of poison.
• Cans of gasoline now contain infinite gasoline.
• It is no longer possible to send a sunbathing student to distract someone, or to send someone to distract a sunbathing student.
• From now on, Kokona will no longer be seen doing enjo kosai if she is dead or if her father has been freed from debt.
• It is no longer possible to activate the Flame Demon easter egg during Mission Mode.

October 22nd, 2019

• Increased the quality of the bookshelves in the Cooking Club.
• Mei, Yuna, and Koharu now have smiles on their faces.
• Manga books have been removed from the school grounds (except the Life Note books in the Photography club).
• One store in the street now has functionality — the manga store. It is now possible to purchase manga from this store.
• Five of the manga books available in the store are 18+. To purchase them, you will need to purchase a Fake ID from Info-chan.
• The shopkeeper’s speech bubble has dialogue for various circumstances (such as when Yandere-chan attempts to purchase adults-only manga without valid ID, or attempts to purchase an item without enough money to afford it).

October 23rd, 2019

• I adjusted the properties of one of the trash cans to make it impossible for that trash can to be used to block a student’s path. The second trash can’s properties have now been adjusted, as well.
• It is no longer possible for a student in a swimsuit to be splashed with liquid; they’ll always dodge it.
• Fixed problems with Yui and Mei’s models that caused their arms to clip through their sleeves.

October 24th, 2019

• The coin-operated binoculars on the street are now less sensitive depending on how far the player has zoomed in.

• It should now be impossible for the player to block a character who is attempting to pass through the doorways inside of a locker room building.
• It should no longer be possible to trap characters walking past the electronics store by pinning them in a corner.
• Characters walking around on the street will now walk around you if you try to block their path.

October 31st, 2019

• If Saki witnesses you murder Kokona, she will develop the strength of Budo and attempt to apprehend you. (Same goes for Kokona witnessing you murder Saki.)
• A student will no longer rotate towards an incorrect angle if distracted by Yandere-chan while returning an object to its original location.
• A student will no longer get stuck in the incorrect state if distracted by Yandere-chan while picking up a dropped item on the ground.
• It should no longer be possible for the player to block a civilian walking down the street from reaching their destination.
• It should now be impossible for the player to block the entrance-way to the girls’ locker room.

• The manga store clerk now has artwork and new dialogue.
• There is no longer an invisible wall in front of the electronics store.
• Made an addition to the Gaming Club.

November

November 15th, 2019

• Pressing the Shift key (or LB shoulder button) while viewing a student’s profile will now display a graphical breakdown of how their initial reputation was calculated. This graph currently does not update as a student’s reputation changes during gameplay, but it probably will in the future.
• The music store has been changed into a gift shop. Gifts purchased from this store can be given to rivals during the matchmaking minigame, or given to Senpai to restore his sanity after he experiences a damaging event.
• There is a new song for the DDR machine, but the current arrows are placeholders, and the music/arrows will probably be changed in the next update.
• Kokona’s lunch event will no longer take place.
• It should now be impossible to prevent civilians on the street from reaching their destinations.
• From now on, using the syringe to tranquilize someone will cause the syringe to become visibly stained with blood.
• When viewing a student’s profile, you can now press left/right to navigate to the next student’s profile.
• Implemented an "easy mode" for the first song of the dance machine minigame.
• Each student now has a pre-determined reputation from the start of the game.
• Senpai now has a short, simple reaction to finding a present on his desk.
• Updated Horuda’s portrait to use her new hairstyle.
• Added two new hairstyles for Yandere-chan.
• Added a new character to the "Characters" page of the Yandere Simulator website.

November 19th, 2019

• The player will now start Mission Mode with $10 so that it’s possible to buy enough salty snacks to complete a Multi-Mission that involves electrocuting 10 students.
• Any easter egg that requires the player to type a phrase on the keyboard can no longer be activated if Yandere-chan is sitting.
• Heroic students will no longer run when investigating giggles, only screams.
• The keys to unlock the robot easter egg will no longer appear in LoveSick Mode / Mission Mode.
• Improved the arrows for the "Queen of Dance" song on the dance machine.
• Added one new song to the dance machine.
• Adjusted student reputation values.

November 24th, 2019

• Reading manga will no longer cause you to become late for school. Being late for school will cause the player to miss scripted events, which is way too harsh of a punishment for merely reading some manga.
• Teachers will now ignore petty actions (like Yandere-chan touching the papers on their desk) while they are calling the cops or guarding a corpse.
• Mind-broken slaves can no longer be distracted by the sight of Yandere-chan committing murder, while the slave is also committing murder.
• It’s no longer possible to leave an anonymous gift on Senpai’s desk if he’s in the same room as you.
• The members of the Occult Club no longer have 100 % identical hair colors.
• It is once again possible to enable shadows from the Settings menu. A warning message will be displayed when highlighting this option, informing the player that activating shadows will most likely have a severe impact on the framerate.

December

December 1st, 2019

• It is no longer possible to use the Expulsion method on Kokona; as part of implementing Osana, the Expulsion method has been re-worked to function with Osana rather than Kokona. Although it has been disabled, you will be able to experience it again once Osana is out. (As a consequence, it is no longer possible to enter the Counselor’s office and speak with her.)
• It is now possible to sabotage one of the vending machines with a screwdriver. This will cause the vending machine to eat your money without dispensing any drinks. (This is related to one of Osana’s elimination methods.)
• It is no longer possible to hand a snack to a character if they are still in the process of walking into the school at the start of the day. (This fixes an Osana exploit.)
• The answer sheet in the faculty room is no longer present on any day except for Friday. (This is related to an Osana event that is exclusive to Friday.)
• Sakyu Basu will now react to the sight of her ring being stolen. (This is to make one of Osana’s elimination methods more difficult.)
• It is no longer possible to sneak a box cutter past a metal detector using a cardboard box.
• Finally gave proper "Student Info" to the martial arts club members.
• Himari now has enough strength to apprehend Yandere-chan.

December 4th, 2019

• It is no longer possible to access the "Schemes" menu, because it can only be used in relation to Osana, who isn’t in the game yet.
• Teachers will no longer be distracted by Yandere-chan crouching/crawling/aiming her camera while the teacher is guarding a corpse.
• Kokona will no longer appear on the street if she has been kidnapped.
• Gloves will no longer become bloody when tranquilizing a victim.
• Fixed typos in student profiles.

December 15th, 2019

• Pose Mode now has a "Save/Load" feature, for making a character instantly switch to a previously-saved pose. It is currently in its earliest stages, and isn’t 100 % functional yet, but if it is developed further, then in the future, you’ll be able to save/load what you create in Pose Mode! (Remember to "Stop Animation" before loading a pose, or else the character’s current animation will immediately snap them out of the pose you’re trying to load.) Poses are saved in YandereSimulator\Assets\StreamingAssets\Poses.
• Removed items from the Senpai Shrine. Those items are meant to be unlocked once per week over the course of the full game. Because the game is approaching the "official demo" phase, those items have been removed so that the player will actually be able to collect/unlock them through gameplay in the near future.
• A notification will now display onscreen when attempting to enter the boys’ locker room or when attempting to leave the girls’ locker room while only wearing a towel.
• It should no longer be possible for Inkyu/Sakyu to get stuck on Senpai’s body when walking past him to investigate a giggle on the school rooftop.
• Multiple characters can now investigate screams (instead of just one character investigating, as is the case with giggles).
• Students can no longer notice dropped weapons/limbs/blood pools while in the middle of a conversation with Yandere-chan.
• Characters without the "Hero" Persona will now investigate screams.
• Kiba Kawaito’s hair will no longer clip through walls.
• Severed limbs now have bloodier textures.

December 21st, 2019

• From the debug menu, you can now press the "F" key to spawn a "green screen room" near the hedge maze. This is for the benefit of people who would like to place characters against a green screen when making a YouTube thumbnail, or anything else along those lines. You can press the "Z" key to cycle between different colors other than green.
• If a student is distracted by a giggle, a notification will appear at the top of the screen, so that the player can confirm that their giggle reached its target. (Previously, it was impossible to know if someone on the other side of a wall / door had been affected by a giggle.)
• Using the "Save" feature in Pose Mode will now cause a little notification to appear onscreen, so that there is no uncertainty over whether or not you successfully saved the pose.
• Once again, changed some of the environment models in the school plaza to better facilitate stealth gameplay / make it easier to use giggles to attract a student’s attention without being spotted.
• Characters will no longer check for the presence of Yandere-chan, blood, or corpses if any of those things are more than 4 meters above the character’s current position.
• The gym teacher will no longer turn her attention away from a corpse if she hears the school gate closing.}

January

January 1st, 2020

• Students who need to vomit will now travel to the toilet that is nearest to their current location, instead of always traveling to a toilet that is on the east side of the school.
• Adjusted the pathfinding grid in the plaza so that students don't brush against the leaves of the hedges while walking through the plaza.
• Delinquents will no longer make snide remarks at you when you're near their hangout spot, if there is a wall separating you from them.
• There is now a "Freeze All Students" option in Pose Mode that will instantly freeze all students in school at their current location.
• It is no longer possible to send a student to distract a teacher; the ability to do so in previous builds was an oversight.
• It is now possible to electrocute students inside of bathrooms, instead of only at drinking fountains.
• It is now possible to sit on the benches in the Japanese garden next to the hedge maze.

January 5th, 2020

• Teachers will now ignore trivial things (like Yandere-chan crouching) if they are doing something important, such as standing guard over a bloody limb while waiting for the police to arrive.
• Changed the models in the plaza so that it's a mixture of various types of bushes/hedges/structures instead of just one model duplicated over and over.
• From now on, the "dispose of body parts" instruction will not appear underneath the police timer if the player hasn't actually dismembered a corpse.
• If a student has become distracted by a radio, a notification will display at the top of the screen to inform the player about it.
• Added a new Easter Egg to the game — "Vaporwave Mode."

January 11th, 2020

• It is now possible to find an item to collect and put in the Senpai Shrine. In the future, there will be one new item available per week of gameplay.
• Changed a few student likes/dislikes to make them more consistent with their behavior/what is written in their profiles.
• Added a controller graphic to the loading screen so that new players will know what all the buttons are.
• Added a shopkeeper to the game store in the town.

January 17th, 2020

• Adjusted some of the text that displays when the player leaves school at the end of the day. Because Senpai will leave school with Osana before 6:00 PM, text like "Yandere-chan stood at the entrance of the school and waited for Senpai…" wouldn’t make sense if the player is leaving school after Senpai had already left school. The latest version of the text has been adjusted so that it accounts for whether or not Senpai has already left school.
• Info-chan’s "Purchase Dark Secret" service now applies to Osana instead of Kokona. But, since Osana isn’t in the game, this pretty much means that it’s a service that won’t be useful to the player in the debug build.

February

February 1st, 2020

• If you are playing the game with a keyboard, the loading screen will display a keyboard. If you are playing the game with a gamepad, the loading screen will display a gamepad.
• Added hills/trees around the school environment, so that the player can’t see a giant empty void when peeking outside of the school walls.
• Corpses will no longer bleed when dropped in the burial area of the gardening club (because the blood would be impossible to clean up).
• Finished replacing all instances of "Yandere-chan" from the end-of-day sequence. (That sequence should only use the name "Ayano".)
• Saki/Kokona will now attack Yandere-chan if either of those two characters witnesses Yandere-chan attacking the other character.
• Removed the "Manga will make you late to school" text box, since that feature was removed from the game a while ago.
• Updated Unagi’s reputation points (liked/feared/respected) to better reflect his profile’s description.
• A student who witnesses pickpocketing will now alert the student that you were stealing from.
• Changed the school bell sound effect to one that has much higher audio quality.

February 14th, 2020

• If Yandere-chan is caught misbehaving by an authority figure (either a teacher or a student council member) and sent to the guidance counselor's office while she is wearing a mask, she will be forced to remove the mask before speaking to the counselor.
• One of the accessories (a mask} had special functionality that was activated by the spacebar key. Because the spacebar is now used to open the map, I've changed the mask so that its functionality is activated by the left Alt key, instead.
• The hill with the mythical cherry tree behind the school has been reshaped to have a flat surface for the Art Club to stand on, so that it doesn't need an ugly wooden platform attached to it.
• The canvases at the mythical tree hill will no longer appear if the Art Club is disbanded and isn't going to use them.
• Entering a boy's bathroom is now considered to be suspicious behavior that will damage your reputation.

March

March 1st, 2020

• It is now possible to leave multiple notes in lockers throughout the day, instead of being limited to only one note-in-locker per day. (However, you cannot leave a note in someone’s locker if there is already a student who is currently attempting to meet the anonymous person who put a note in their locker.)
• Re-balanced price of Info-chan’s sedative poison, since it should be much more expensive than the headache poison (which exists to give the player a way to obtain sedative poison).
• Gave someone a makeover, in order to differentiate them from another character.
• The text that a student uses when responding to a compliment is now dependent on their Persona and your current reputation.
• The Delinquents’ weapon cases will no longer clip through the wall behind them when they sit down at a bench.
• Corpses will no longer leave a trail of blood pools in the air when they are dropped off the school rooftop.
• Yandere-chan should no longer be able to attack students through doors when at low sanity.
• Made various code optimizations that should improve the game’s performance on some computers.
• The background music for the "Near" easter egg now has vocals from the amazing Diwidly!
• Inkyu’s hair will no longer have weird shading glitches.

• It is now possible to activate Nemesis in Multi-Mission Mode.
• Nemesis has an additional difficulty level in Multi-Mission Mode; you can decide if she will run at you if she sees you.
• Nemesis can now spot you from farther away.
• From now on, upon completing a Mission Mode mission, you will receive a code that grants you a special role in the Yandere Simulator Discord server.

March 14th, 2020

• There is now a new way to earn favors from Info-chan: providing her with stolen phones. Previously, it was only possible to steal a student’s phone during a scripted event (like Kokona’s shower event). It is now possible to steal any female student’s phone when they leave their phone in their locker before taking a shower.
• When you provide Info-chan with a stolen phone, she installs software on that phone that allows her to remotely access it. Then, she gives the phone back to you so that you can return the stolen phone to its owner by placing the phone on the owner’s desk.
• With remote access to the student’s phone, Info-chan can learn everything that the student does with her phone, which can provide Info-chan with blackmail over that student.
• At the end of the school day, any student who cannot locate their phone will tell the faculty about it. The faculty will check your belongings and expel you if they discover stolen goods in your inventory.

• To balance the "Follow Me" feature, there is now a timer on how long students will follow Yandere-chan — and the timer is linked to your reputation. By default, students will only follow you for 35 seconds. A reputation of −100 will cause students to only follow you for 10 seconds, whereas a reputation of +100 will cause students to follow you for a maximum of 60 seconds.

• From now on, when exiting the counselor’s office, there is a short "grace period" where students will not be alarmed by you, so that you don’t automatically get in trouble for being bloody without getting a chance to run and change out of your bloody clothing.
• Students will no longer investigate giggles coming from bathrooms, locker rooms, the delinquent’s territory, or the headmaster’s room. This could lead to situations where students were willingly walking into areas where they know they’re not supposed to be.
• If Yandere-chan is spotted by Senpai and saying "No…wait…" you can now make the sequence go by a bit quicker by pressing the E key (or the A button on controller) to speed it up.
• As an experiment, windows are transparent in this build. Students can’t see through windows, though. I’m not sure whether or not I will keep things this way or change it back.
• From now on, if a student council member or teacher sees Yandere-chan fighting with a delinquent, only that character will interfere; other characters will not get involved.
• From now on, if you complete a mission in Mission Mode, you can access a special screen that will grant you a special role in the Official Yandere Simulator Discord Server!
• Delinquents will no longer damage your reputation with gossip after seeing you commit murder, because they don’t gossip with other students.
• Improved the animation that plays when Yandere-chan is spotted by Senpai and says "No…wait…" right before the "HEARTBROKEN" screen.
• The price of Info-chan’s "Send Student Home" favor has increased, due to the huge advantage it can grant the player.
• The "Camera Filters" easter egg can now apply to the cinematic camera in addition to the gameplay camera.
• Drowning male students will now use a male voice instead of a female voice.
• There are now props in the basement.
• Rivals now have silhouettes in the Student Info menu.
• Added two new hairstyles for Yandere-chan.
• Nemesis’ pathfinding has improved.
• Added one new easter egg.

March 31st, 2020

• When you are a member of the delinquents and intimidate a student into following you, the game will not use the usual "low reputation makes students follow you for less time" logic. Instead, the lower your reputation is, the longer students will follow you for.
• The over-the-shoulder camera angle (accessed by opening the debug menu and pressing the "T" key) will now always keep Yandere-chan on the left side of the screen, no matter what direction she or the camera is facing. This was accomplished thanks to help from AMZE!
• As an experiment, I have added windows the school building that allow the player to see the plaza at the center of the school. This has a negative impact on the framerate, but if people really want it to stay, then it can stay.
• When adjusting the Settings, the menu now slides over to the side of the screen so that the player has a clear view of what their settings changes are doing to the game’s graphics.
• There is now a "How to earn points" prompt on Info-chan’s Favors menu so that new players can learn about the multiple different methods for paying Info-chan for favors.
• Senpai is now MUCH more perceptive than he was before. He will notice your bad behavior almost instantaneously. This makes him much more of a concern during gameplay.
• Began to make various small optimizations all around the school that reduce the number of objects being rendered at any given time, improving the framerate.
• The "Class Soon" / "Class Now" notifications will no longer pop-up if the player attends class early enough in the day to advance two phases simultaneously.
• Placed curtains outside of certain clubrooms where the player wouldn’t realistically be able to look through one of the windows and see inside.
• Every female character now changes their clothing at a different locker in the changing room, instead of all sharing one locker.
• The framerate should now be smoother during animations where Yandere-chan is being apprehended by a teacher or Heroic student.
• Replaced the 5-year-old voiced lines that play at the Heartbroken screen with higher-quality recordings.
• Yandere-chan’s presence in a student council meeting is now considered "trespassing".
• Students will now react negatively to witnessing Yandere-chan trespassing.
• It is now possible to remove a bucket that has been placed above a door.
• Further improved the silhouettes of the rivals on the Student Info screen.
• It is now possible to kill Nemesis in the "Horror Prototype".
• Replaced Saki’s hair model with a new one.
• Updated the nurse’s hair model.
• Added SNAP Mode.

April

April 2nd, 2020

• From now on, if Yandere-chan alarms Senpai, she will move backwards to put at least 1 meter of distance between herself and him. This will prevent situations where SNAP Mode begins with Yandere-chan’s face in Senpai’s crotch, or Senpai not performing the right animation at the start of SNAP Mode.
• If Yandere-chan has alarmed Senpai, the students surrounding her will move backwards until there is at least 1 meter of space between them and Yandere-chan. This will prevent situations where SNAP Mode begins and Yandere-chan immediately attacks a student before the player knows what is going on.
• It’s no longer possible to use SNAP Mode to teleport outside of the school or into the boys’ locker room.
• It’s no longer possible to trigger SNAP Mode past 6:00 PM.

April 4th, 2020

• While inside of Yandere-chan’s room, type "abcdefg" to begin the "Alphabet Killer Challenge". The objective of the challenge is to murder 77 students in alphabetical order. Upon activating the challenge, the school scene will load, with several things different:
  • 90 lockers will appear in the hallways of the school. Dead bodies can be hidden inside of these lockers so that you don’t have to worry too much about hiding bodies while trying to complete the challenge.
  • A box of smoke bombs will appear inside of the Student Council room. The smoke bombs are infinite, but you can only carry one smoke bomb at a time. You can drop a smoke bomb by clicking the left stick (or pressing the "T" key on the keyboard). A smoke bomb lasts for 15 seconds. Any character inside a smoke cloud becomes blind until the smoke clears, or until they walk outside of the smoke cloud. Be warned — the smoke bomb is a double-edged sword, because it severely reduces your ability to see your surroundings clearly.
  • An arrow will appear at the top of the screen. This arrow will point to your current target.
  • A text box will appear at the bottom-right corner of the screen, displaying your current progress in the challenge, and naming your next target.
  • The day will automatically restart if the police are called, or if you kill any student other than your current target.
  • Your Physical Education stat will be set to "5" for this challenge so that you will have the ability to carry corpses.
  • If you successfully complete the challenge, you will get a simple reward — something that I was originally planning to release as an April Fool’s joke.
• From now on, Yandere-chan starts the game with only one pair of panties available. The rest have to be unlocked.
• There is now a lingerie store in town. You can use this store to purchase panties for Yandere-chan.

April 6th, 2020

• You can now find a "Puzzle Cube" in the Student Council room. If you hand this puzzle cube to a student, they will stop moving for 30 seconds and try to solve it.
• There is now a robot in the Student Council room. If you pick it up and drop it, it will follow you around and clean up any blood that spills. However, it comes with a limitation: it will follow you forever, but if it has spent a total of 100 seconds cleaning up blood, it will stop. (If it gets stuck somewhere, clean up that blood manually to get it un-stuck.)
• The most annoying part of the challenge is waiting for students to enter the school at the beginning of the day, so the challenge now starts with Yandere-chan and all students already inside the school.
• Additionally, the day now begins with all club leaders already in their clubs so that you can immediately join whatever club you want to join without waiting for them to arrive at their clubrooms.
• The turtle is now disabled during the Alphabet Killer Challenge. No cheating! (Join the art club and wear an apron if you don’t want bloody clothing to be a problem.)
• It is no longer possible to walk around inside of the counselor’s office during SNAP Mode.
• Restored missing bushes to the school plaza.

April 7th, 2020

• After activating the Alphabet Killer Challenge, a "weapon bag" will appear in the Student Council room. This is the same type of bag that the delinquents wear. You can put any weapon inside of this bag. This will allow you to transport a weapon like a baseball bat without being considered suspicious. (This feature has a very high chance of becoming an official feature in the main game, outside of the challenge.)
• The player now also has access to stink bombs. Dropping a stink bomb will cause nearby students to run away, and eventually return to their routine. (This feature has a possibility of becoming an official feature in the main game, outside of the challenge.)
• The player now also has access to "amnesia bombs". Dropping an amnesia bomb will cause nearby students to completely forget that they just witnessed a murder, and return to their routine.
• You can carry 5 smoke bombs and 5 stink bombs at a time…but you can only carry 1 amnesia bomb at a time. The number and type of bomb that you currently possess is indicated at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
• The debug menu, easter egg menu, turtle, and Void Goddess are no longer available in the Alphabet Killer Challenge. Obviously, any run that involves cheats or easter eggs is completely invalid!
• Once again adjusted how students spawn at the beginning of the Alphabet Killer Challenge so that the player doesn’t need to spend time waiting for them to arrive in their clubrooms at the beginning of the day.
• Kenko (the health-conscious student) will now reject junk food, so that his actions are consistent with his profile.
• Made an optimization that should reduce the loading time of the School Scene.

April 9th, 2020

• Added some experimental grass outside of the entrance of the school. Thorough testing will be required before determining whether or not it will stay in the game; the determining factor is how much it impacts the framerate when it’s covering the majority of the school grounds.
• Mission Mode now incorporates the top-of-screen arrow from the Alphabet Killer Challenge (but not if it’s a multi-mission).
• A student who is solving a puzzle cube will no longer continue solving the cube while inside of a stink bomb cloud.
• A stink bomb will now cause students to run away for 15 seconds, instead of running inside of the hedge maze.
• Yandere-chan now begins the Alphabet Challenge standing beside her desk, instead of standing on top of her desk.
• Improved the marker that appears at the top of the screen during the Alphabet Killer Challenge.
• Being spotted trespassing by a teacher will no longer lower Yandere-chan’s reputation.
• Yandere-chan’s low sanity hallucinations now look more ghostly.
• It is now possible for the blood-cleaning robot to open doors.
• Moved light switches that were clipping into windows.
• With Ebola Mode active, press the "V" key 10 times to change your appearance.

April 11th, 2020

• After receiving assistance and guidance from a fellow programmer, made miscellaneous improvements throughout the code that should improve performance. You might get a better framerate in this build than the previous build!
• Time no longer moves forward in Alphabet Killer Challenge. This prevents a situation where the target is in class and the player is forced to wait an extremely long time for the character to leave the classroom.
• The ability to access the Matchmaking feature has been removed. This is because now the majority of code related to Matchmaking is Osana-centric and no longer compatible with Kokona and Riku.
• Smoke bombs will no longer work on students who are currently charging at you with intent to apprehend you.
• Reduced chance of blood-cleaner robot getting stuck when trying to pathfind to its next destination.
• Delinquents will no longer ignore giggles coming from the incinerator area.
• Implemented optimizations that sped up the game’s loading times.
• As of now, the china dress has been removed from the Ebola-chan easter egg. You can now access the china dress anytime by finding it in the "Meme Closet" along with the Doki Doki Literature Club cosplay and Crush Crush cosplay.

April 15th, 2020

• The Save/Load feature was experimental and not entirely functional, so the Save/Load buttons on the pause screen menu have been disabled for now. They will be re-enabled when a genuine Save/Load feature is added to the game.
• Senpai's perception has been returned to its initial value (he will no longer notice your misbehavior faster than a normal student).
• It is now possible to locate the 11th panties (the Fundoshi) somewhere on school grounds.

April 16th, 2020

• The science club students should now be much less likely to get stuck when trying to enter the booth to change out of their lab coat.
• Two students who were out of alphabetical order in the Alphabet Killer Challenge are now in proper order.
• It should now be impossible for Nemesis to disguise herself as one of your targets in Mission Mode.
• Completing a task for a delinquents will no longer improve your reputation.

May

May 1st, 2020

• From now on, committing at least 50 murders over the course of gameplay will cause Akademi to shut down, resulting in a game over. (This is to discourage players from trying to make it trivially easy to eliminate all rivals by simply murdering all potential witnesses instead of using stealth, manipulation, and distraction.)
• Male students now use a male voice when dying from poison.
• The two science club boys who have conversations about Magical Girl Pretty Miyuki now have another conversation about another fictional franchise that exists in Yandere Sim's world, after Cleaning Time on Monday.
• When leaving a note in a student's locker, the list of potential topics you can leave notes about has changed slightly; it's related to one of Osana's elimination methods.
• When leaving Yandere-chan's room, the number of options that you are presented with is different. This is related to one of Osana's events.
• Added some props to the Calligraphy room. (Still unfinished.) (The Calligraphy room will be relevant during one of the rivals' events.)
• The storage rooms all looked really awful, so they have been re-designed with new appearances. (The "Meme Closet" is still the same.)
• To make non-concealable weapons functionally different from concealable weapons, blunt weapons no longer leave blood pools.
• Added 3 new hairstyles for Yandere-chan.
• Replaced Mai Waifu's hair model.
• Every day, Sakyu and Inkyu sit on a bench and have a conversation with each other.
• These conversations are private; if they know that you are eavesdropping on them, they will stop talking.
• There are meant to be 50 conversations over the course of the game. Because the Osana demo is only 5 days long, there will only be 5 conversations in the demo.
• If the police visited school on the previous day, the sisters will skip their daily conversation and talk about the police investigation, instead. (This means that if you want to hear all 50 conversations, you will have to avoid ever letting the police visit the school over the course of the game.)
• If one of the sisters has witnessed Yandere-chan commit murder, they will have a completely different type of conversation, and will never have a "lore" conversation again.
• The sisters now have a new routine at school — instead of just heading to the rooftop and spending all day talking there, they now walk around to various locations, as if they are…searching for something…
• Sakyu now has a voiced line if she catches Yandere-chan trying to steal her ring at lunchtime.

May 6th, 2020

• It is now possible to save and load in the middle of school gameplay, and expect the game to create a fairly accurate reproduction of the school scene at the time that you saved.
• It is now possible to trigger an "ending" by accomplishing a very specific goal.
• Restored flowers to the "mythical tree hill".
• During the "End of Day" sequence, you can press the ESC key to load the most recent save, in case you want to immediately retry instead of being sent home.
• The Heartbroken screen now has 5 options; "Reset Day" "Reset Week" "Load Most Recent Save" "Main Menu" and "SNAP".
• It is now possible to trade Info-chan panty shots for money (ten panty shots for $100).
• It is no longer possible to close a door while a student is walking through that door.

May 7th, 2020

• The incinerator is now accurately tracking Save/Load data (whether or not something was present in the incinerator at the time the save was made).
• It is no longer possible to cheat your way into the Genocide Ending by using SNAP Mode or the Flame Demon easter egg.
• Saving/Loading is now keeping track of what clothing students should be wearing when loading a save file.
• Saving/Loading will now record the positions of all weapons at the time the save file was made.
• Saving/Loading now tracks whether or not a given door is locked or unlocked.
• It is now possible to load a save from Yandere-chan’s bedroom.

May 9th, 2020

• If a Student Council member runs to the teachers to report a murder and discovers that all teachers are dead, they will realize what kind of danger they are in, and will run out of school and call the police.
• If you save the game while a student is carrying a dropped object back to its original location, the game should now accurately re-create those circumstances upon loading that save file.
• Students will no longer investigate loud music coming from a bathroom, the incinerator area, or the headmaster's room.
• The state of doors (whether they were open or closed when the game was saved) is now recorded when Saving/Loading.

May 15th, 2020

• If a teacher (or Student Council member) sends Yandere-chan to the guidance counselor for carrying a weapon, the weapon will be taken away and put inside of a box in the faculty room. As of now, if Yandere-chan is spotted carrying a fire extinguisher, the fire extinguisher will now be returned to its original position instead of the box in the faculty room. For now, the fire extinguishers are (deliberately) the only exception.
• Prior to this build, if the player joined a club, the game would remember what club the player joined, even if the player reset the day, got a game over, or loaded an earlier save immediately after joining the club. As of now, the game will not carry the player's club status forward to subsequent days unless the player successfully makes it to the end of the day.
• Removed exploit that would allow the player to get an easy panty shot by getting so close to a student that they were clipping inside of the student's body, then pulling out their camera, inserting it inside the student's torso, and aiming the camera straight downwards at their panties.
• Prior to this build, a bloody weapon would not be considered "suspicious" if the weapon itself was a non-suspicious object (such as a screwdriver). This oversight has been corrected.
• Prior to this build, the act of using a handheld blowtorch to cauterize a corpse's wounds was not considered to be suspicious behavior. This oversight has now been corrected.
• It is no longer possible to sit on the bench where Sakyu / Inkyu have their daily conversations, during the point in time when they are meant to have a conversation there.
• If a Teacher's Pet runs to the faculty room to report a murder to a teacher and discovers that all 6 teachers are dead, they will run out of school instead.
• Obtaining the "Genocide Ending" will now result in dark, creepy music playing during the game's credits, instead of the normal credits music.
• Wielding the drama club props will no longer be considered suspicious if Yandere-chan is a member of the drama club.
• The grass in front of the school will no longer fail to change colors properly when lighting/atmosphere changes.
• Saving? Loading will now properly track how many blood pools were at school, and where they were located.
• Saving/Loading will now properly track the locations of all buckets/mops/bleach containers at school.
• Saving/Loading will now properly track the contents of all buckets / containers at school.
• Saving/Loading will now properly track how much blood a corpse has spilled.
• Various code optimizations to make progress towards improving framerate.

June

June 1st, 2020

• The ability to fire a Student Council girl from the council has been implemented (only available in Mission Mode)
• The saving/loading feature will now accurately track which students are arrested, broken, dead, dying, expelled, exposed, holding a grudge, kidnapped, missing, photographed, replaced by a substitute, and befriended. Also, the saving/loading feature will remember reputations, which students have had their phones stolen in the past, and which students the player has already taken a panty shot of.
• Yandere-chan's phone was designed in 2015, and was modern at the time, but looks outdated now in 2020. The appearance of the phone has been adjusted to reflect the look-and-feel of modern 2020 phones. This has resulted in a lot of extra space in many of the menus! In the near future, those pause menu screens will be updated in order to account for this extra space. The current phone artwork is placeholder and will be replaced before Osana is released.
• Updated the calendar screen.
• As of now, props have finally been placed into one of the school corridors (turn left after entering the school) to simulate what it'll be like once the entire school is populated with props. The ceilings around school look different, too.
• In the future, each store on the street will have its own theme music when the player is accessing it. However, as of now, there is only one theme, and it's the lingerie store theme, so you will hear sexy sensual music inside of every store on the street.
• The Alphabet Killer Challenge now has a unique background music! It's over 10 minutes long and goes through many changes so that it doesn't get too repetitive during such a long challenge. (Press "M" during the challenge to play in silence.) The music was provided by Fonix!
• Info-chan now refers to her currency as "Info Points" instead of "Panty Shots". Open Info-chan's menu and press the "F" key (or X button on controller) to see a tutorial pop-up describing the different ways to acquire Info Points.
• From now on, whenever a character discovers a corpse, the player will see a camera shot of the character who discovered the corpse at the bottom-left corner of the screen.
• Added one new background music track to the game (actually nine variations of one track, one for each possible combination of school atmosphere and sanity) provided by CameronF305!
• As of now, if the player gets a "Dark Ending" (for example, the Genocide Ending) the credits screen will get more spooky (red text, no cherry blossoms).
• The "hide bodies in lockers" feature from the Alphabet Killer Challenge is now a part of normal gameplay.
• The initial text message conversation where Yandere-chan meets Info-chan has been re-written.
• Updated the appearance of the Calligraphy Room (it is now closer to its final form).
• Replaced most of the models in the Drama Club with new, higher-quality models.
• The player can now view the game's controls from the pause screen menu.
• Placing a Bug for Info-chan now gives 10 "Info Points" instead of 5.
• Added six new Headmaster Tapes — #3, #4, #5, #7, #8, and #9.

June 15th, 2020

• Short weapons (like knives) can be concealed, so that the player can transport weapons in secrecy. However, long weapons (like baseball bats) cannot be concealed. For years, this meant that long weapons were objectively inferior to short weapons, and that there was no reason to use long weapons. To give the player incentive to use more than one weapon type, long weapons were given an advantage, victims killed by a long weapon would not leave blood pools. However, this made long weapons too overpowered; it removed all incentive to use short weapons. To balance the advantages/disadvantages of both weapon times, non-concealable weapons are now 5x more suspicious than concealable weapons; this means that students will notice you carrying long weapons and become alarmed 5x as quickly. This means that the player needs to be very careful and stealthy when carrying around a long weapon, or else their reputation will get annihilated quickly.
• In Japan, you have to be at least 20 years old in order to purchase alcohol or cigarettes. Yandere Simulator takes place in a fictional version of Japan where you need to be at least 20 years old to purchase pornography, too. This is why Yandere-chan needs a fake ID, despite being 18. To reflect this, the "18+" in the stores has been updated to say "20+".
• The player is no longer able to save the game under circumstances that would instantly screw the player upon reloading the save file, or circumstances that would be very difficult for the game to re-create. A message will appear on the pause screen menu when saving the game is not possible.
• To make it possible to complete a Multi-Mission that involves poisoning more than 2 characters, it is now possible to purchase infinite Lethal Poisons from Info-chan, but only during Mission Mode. (Lethal Poison is also now less expensive in Mission Mode.)
• Saving/Loading now tracks kidnap victims, whether or not there should be a fence on the roof, the school's current level of atmosphere, and whether or not there should be metal detectors and security cameras at school.
• The game now properly tracks Study Points (if you put Study Points into a school subject, then load an earlier save, your number of study points will revert back to whatever number they were when the game was saved.)
• Characters who were "patrolling" at the time of a save will now resume their patrol accurately upon loading that save, instead of returning to their original patrol point whenever a save is loaded.
• Lockers that you can hide bodies inside of now have cyan outlines in Yandere Vision (like every other tool that facilitates getting away with murder).
• There is now a "How to make money" tutorial pop-up when you try to purchase things at school without having enough money to buy anything.
• From now on, if you crush a phone with your foot while carrying or dragging a corpse, you'll drop the corpse before crushing the phone.
• It is no longer possible to view Senpai's student profile in Mission Mode, since he is canonically dead in the Mission Mode Timeline.
• If the player drags a corpse nearby the mythical tree behind the school, that corpse will no longer spawn blood pools.
• It is no longer possible to leave bloody footprints within the proximity of the mythical tree behind the school.
• Certain items (clean school uniform, money) can now be ordered from Info-chan multiple times in a single day.
• The player will now see a new texture on Yandere-chan's phone when taking a picture with the phone's camera.
• Because Musume's Task requires Horuda to be alive, Musume's Task is no longer available if Horuda is dead.
• From now on, the jingle at the Calendar screen will sound creepier as school atmosphere drops lower.
• From now on, the game will continue loading if the player alt+tabs while at the loading screen.
• Saving/Loading now accurately tracks which bodies are currently hidden in which lockers.
• It is no longer possible to steal a student's phone if that student is watching you.
• A delinquent can no longer shove you while he is solving a puzzle cube.
• Replaced placeholder "new smartphone" graphic with original artwork.
• Saving the game will now track the current location of the radio.
• The Electronics Store now has appropriate theme music.
• Added one new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.
• Added a bunch of minor miscellaneous aesthetic changes (reducing poly count of models with too many polygons, updating a few props in the Drama Club, changing the color of the glass on the trophy cases, adding a few more glass cases near the entrance, etc.)

July

July 1st, 2020

• All 6 teachers and Shima Shita have been renamed. Some students' names are now retconned to nicknames. You can see these students' "real names" in their student profiles. Not every student has a nickname+real name. Real names were chosen by looking up real Japanese names/surnames that real people in the real world have actually had. Some of these names may change in the future.
• If you are holding a mop and standing in front of a bucket full of bleached water, the bucket's "Carry" prompt will change into a "Dip" prompt so that you can dip the mop into the bucket regardless of whether the mop's prompt or bucket's prompt is the dominant prompt.
• Students will no longer be alarmed by the sight of Yandere-chan picking up a dropped weapon, if that dropped weapon is a non-suspicious object (such as a screwdriver).
• Added another background track to the school scene (9 variations in total, one for each possible combination of sanity and atmosphere).
• Added "Tutorials" option to the pause screen so that the player can view any of the game's tutorials anytime they want.
• Replaced the 9th Schoolday track with an improved version of the track (provided by CameronF305).
• Mai Waifu's hair no longer clips through the wall behind her while she is eating food.
• Added a collider to a tokonoma in the Calligraphy room that didn't have a collider.
• Adjusted intensity of drums in the Alphabet Killer Challenge background music.
• Removed Raibaru from the courtyard (she wasn't supposed to be there, whoops!)
• It is no longer possible to laugh and sweep a mop at the same time.
• Added a collider to a trophy case that didn't have a collider.
• Added a blue outline to a locker that didn't have one.
• Retextured the models in Info-chan's room.
• Updated three character profiles on the Characters page of the official website. All are Saikou characters. Some of the information that was in Kencho's profile has been ret-conned.

July 14th, 2020

• At the end of the intro sequence, some images rapidly flash onscreen. Those images were screenshots from the Rival Introduction Video that I uploaded in 2016. Actually, in some of those screenshots, you could see 3D models that came from other video games! Oops! Those 3D models were removed from Yandere Simulator a looooong time ago, but I still can’t feature those screenshots in the game; that’d be a copyright violation. The offending screenshots have been replaced with new ones. Now there should be absolutely zero copyrighted content in Yandere Sim. If you actually find a copyrighted model somewhere in the game, please contact me about it immediately!
• Someone recently informed me that Yandere Simulator’s FPS display was inaccurate, and was displaying a number lower than the game’s actual FPS. I am now using an FPS counter supplied directly by Unity, so the FPS number should now be as accurate as possible. It turns out that the game’s actual framerate was about 5 FPS better than what that number was reporting this whole time, haha!
• The Light Music Club / Martial Arts Club will no longer be willing to "Practice" (play music or spar) if it’s lunchtime or cleaning time.
• Lowered volume of "power up" sound effect when using one of the Gaming Club’s computers.
• The manga store and game store on the street now have background music.
• Kokona’s Befriend/Betray cutscene now has background music!
• Reduced the filesize of some files that were way too huge.
• Updated Saki Miyu’s hair texture.

August

August 1st, 2020

• Miscellaneous fixes throughout various areas of the game, like updating the "Kidnapped Musume" video thumbnail to feature the new basement.
• Minor, miscellaneous adjustments to the Student Profile screen (centering the reputation graph and Info-chan’s static).
• Updated most of the classroom models and textures to match the art style used by the rest of the game.
• Various code optimizations that resulted from speaking with a very helpful programmer.
• Re-positioning certain props in the school environment to prevent clipping.
• The framerate when shadows are enabled should now be better than before!}

Demo Builds

August 31st, 2020

• Camera sensitivity when aiming Yandere-chan’s phone camera is now determined by the Camera Sensitivity option in the Settings menu.
• Removed exploit that allowed the player to kill without consequence if they were standing in the middle of the Occult clubroom.
• The button prompts that appear at town will now change depending on whether the player is using a keyboard or controller.
• The Hardware Store on the street now has a shopkeeper.
• New music by CameronF305.
• Implemented Osana.

September

September 1st, 2020

• While spying on Osana and Musume’s Friday morning conversation, Yandere-chan will now automatically record the conversation as long as she is in the "Spying" state, without the player having to manually press a button to make it happen.
• Osana will now commit suicide upon her reputation reaching −150, instead of −200. (By the way, if she has already stopped attending school, any future changes to her reputation won’t make any difference.)
• The Internet interface in Yandere-chan’s home will no longer be super blurry at some screen resolutions.
• Characters will no longer snap out of scripted events after noticing dropped weapons on the ground.
• The heart cursor on the title screen’s Settings menu should now be much more easily visible.
• The camera will now move quicker at the Title Screen.

September 2nd, 2020

• Previously, if you beat the demo, unlocked debug commands, and then used the "Reset Week" command at the Calendar screen to replay Week 1, you would lose access to debug commands. As of now, you will retain access to debug commands even after using the "Reset Week" command, so you can reset Week 1 as many times as you want without losing access to debug commands.
• An "Inventory" icon has been added to the pause screen menu. You can now view a full list of all collectible items in the game, and tell which ones you are currently holding. (I wonder if anyone can collect them all over the course of one school day…?)
• If School Atmosphere is below 50 % (due to many deaths occurring at school) the title screen will get darker and creepier, with a spookier version of the normal title screen music!
• Raibaru will no longer defend herself if she is attacked by a mind-broken Osana; she is too shocked by the fact that she is suddenly being attacked by her best friend.
• The button to drown students is now the button that is used for attacking, instead of the button that is used for harmless interactions such as talking.
• Adjusted pathfinding grid so that characters should no longer be able to get stuck on the hedge behind the bench in front of the swimming area.
• Re-positioned some items that became inaccessible after adding more hedges to the school (like Saki’s bra and some cassette tapes).
• It is now possible to reset the day from Yandere-chan’s phone. The new option is at the bottom-right corner of the phone menu.
• Osana will no longer have any events with Senpai if the player completed the Befriend/Betray elimination earlier in the week.
• It is now possible to activate a "Spying on Osana" camera when she is having an interaction with Raibaru.
• Osana will no longer do her lunchtime events if she has been targeted for bullying at lunchtime.
• Spying on Senpai+Osana’s interactions will no longer be considered alarming behavior.
• There will now be a memorial service the day after Osana commits suicide.

September 3rd, 2020

• If you take a photograph of Senpai and save it to your photo gallery, you will see a "Speed Up Time" option appear when Yandere Vision is active. Holding down the "A" button ("E" key on keyboard) will cause Yandere-chan to take out her phone and stare at Senpai. This will cause time to move at 2x normal speed, while still giving you the ability to control Yandere-chan and make her walk around.
• On the Calendar screen, it is now possible to skip ahead to the next day. You can even skip past Friday and go directly into Saturday, as long as Osana is eliminated.

September 5th, 2020

• I never established what direction the school is facing, so there is now a compass on the map screen so that you can see which directions are north / east / south / west.
• "East" and "West" signs have been added to staircases so that you know what side of the school you’re on without having to open the map to see the compass.

• There is now a little notification that pops up whenever you earn Info Points (aside from when you take photographs, since you already see a text message from Info-chan about that.)

• In the "Congratulations on eliminating your rival" text message conversation with Info-chan, she will now recognize the "Framed for Murder" elimination method as a method that involved violence.
• It’s no longer possible to save the game while a student is wet, since the game wouldn’t be able to accurately re-create the school scene if it was saved under those circumstances.

• Previously, it was impossible to poison a Photography Club member during Mission Mode, since they would be busy performing the "Sleuth" routine during lunchtime. In order to make it possible to poison them, Photography Club members will now stop their Sleuth routine at lunchtime, but only during Mission Mode.
• After sabotaging all 5 of Osana’s Senpai events, it’s a guarantee that Senpai will reject her, so it is no longer necessary to stay at school and watch the "Rejection" cutscene play out. You can now just go straight home, and Osana will be eliminated.
• If the player kills someone, they will see a Memorial event at school the next day. From now on, if the player uses the Calendar screen to skip ahead in the week, the game will bypass the memorial event.
• From now on, after "Tagging" a student from the Student Info screen, the pink trail (spawned by pressing the "T" key) will lead to that student, instead of leading to class.
• The glowing outline that appears around things in Yandere Vision is now thicker, so that it’s easier to see with the new post-processing effects active.

• You can now fake a reaction using Yandere Vison.

October 16th, 2020

• From now on, when a student realizes that their phone is missing, they will run to go look for it, instead of walking to go look for it. Waiting for a student to slowly walk to their phone was unpleasant and frustrating.
• It is now possible to use the "Speed Up Time" command (accessed through Yandere Vision) during Mission Mode (even though Senpai is canonically dead in the Mission Mode timeline).
• Sleuths will now respond to a wider variety of notes in their lockers. (It wasn’t right for the sociable and friendly Sleuths to reject notes about wanting to make new friends.)

• Yandere-chan will now exit Yandere Vision if someone begins chasing her.

October 31st, 2020

• Added the ability to skip the Befriend/Betray Osana cutscene. (Initially, skipping sends you straight to the part of the cutscene where you make the choice to Befriend/Betray. Afterwards, skipping sends you to the end of the cutscene.)
• Yandere-chan is barefoot when she is wearing a swimsuit, so she now uses the "bare feet" sound effect when walking while wearing a swimsuit.
• The "Sneak Panty Shot" feature, accessible from Yandere Vision, now has a MUCH larger hitbox for panty detection.
• The shadow of Osana’s mother is now visible during Osana’s suicide cutscene.

December

December 22nd, 2020

• There is now a "Demo Checklist" accessible from the title screen. This is the evolution of the "Challenges Menu" that was accessible from the Calendar screen for several years.

• From now on, when the player enters a "tutorial circumstance", a "Hint Available" text message from Info-chan will pop up, giving the player the option of viewing the tutorial if they wish to, rather than forcing the player to abruptly view tutorials against their will.
• The "Compliment" feature has been completely replaced with a new feature — "Socialize". If you walk up to a student and choose the "Socialize" option, you will see a grid of subjects to talk about. You can make a positive statement or a negative statement. The goal is to make a positive statement about something that the student likes, or a negative statement about something that the student dislikes.
  • Additionally, this new conversation system is also used for gossiping. For example:
    Kuu Dere loves reading. If you tell Kuu Dere that Osana hates reading, Kuu Dere will think less of Osana and contribute to the spread of rumors about her, which will damage Osana’s reputation.
• After watching the cutscene where Senpai meets Amai, you will now see a new option at the bottom of the Calendar screen — "Amai Challenge". Activating this challenge allows you to experience one day of Week 2, Amai’s week.
• Very minor detail here, but the text that displayed when the Gaming Club disbanded ("The school forces the club to disband") didn’t make sense previously, so it has been adjusted to reflect the fact that the Gaming Club is an unofficial club.
• If all of the bullies except Kokoro are killed, Kokoro will change her appearance. There is no lore in-game to explain the reason for this; if you want to know why, you’ll have to read a Reddit post.
• There are now three music tracks to choose from in the Alphabet Killer Challenge. Tap the "M" key twice to change the music track. #1 is by CameronF305, and #2 and #3 are by Fonix!
• If the school’s atmosphere is lowered, it is meant to slowly recover over time. As a result, skipping a day from the Calendar screen will now improve the school atmosphere.
• There is now a third way to dispose of bodies, aside from the incinerator and the woodchipper; a vat of acid in the Science Club’s room.
• Updated the music that plays in Yandere-chan’s room and basement (there are both daytime versions and nighttime versions of each track).
• It is now possible to complete Dairoku’s task by giving him either an answer sheet or a duplicate answer sheet obtained from Info-chan.
• Added a 12th set of background music tracks to the school (9 tracks in total, one for every combination of atmosphere/sanity).
• Turned down the volume of the title screen music, since it was much louder than most other tracks in the game.
• The Gift Store now has a shopkeeper, meaning that all store in the street now have a unique shopkeeper!
• Replaced the security camera outside of Info-chan’s room with a better-looking model.
• There is now a visual indication when the phone jammer is active.
• Replaced some old sound effects with new ones by CameronF305!
• Added new rival portraits provided by magimoon!

December 23rd, 2020

• It is now possible to dispose of bloody weapons and uniforms in the vat of acid in the Science Club.
• Updated the flowers that replace blood graphics when the player has chosen to censor blood.
• Disabled the "Vote for Megami!" props that were accidentally left in the build.}

January

January 28th, 2021

• The Student Council girls now have voiced lines.
• From now on, you no longer need to increase your Strength stat to Level 1 in order to carry corpses; you can carry corpses right from the start of the game, without changing any of your stats. The Strength stat now determines how quickly you perform the "lifting corpse" animation. A maxed-out Strength stat will make the animation go by 2x as fast as normal.
• There is now a roll of tarp in the first-floor storage room. You can put this tarp underneath a corpse before you dismember it. The blood will get on the tarp instead of getting on the ground, and Yandere-chan will automatically ball up the tarp afterwards. This means that you can dismember a corpse without worrying about mopping up blood afterwards.
• It is now possible to obtain a box of garbage bags from a storage room (the same room that has the wrench.) With a box of garbage bags in your hands, you can conceal a corpse in a garbage bag in order to transport it without alarming anyone. Carrying around a garbage bag will be considered "suspicious behavior" anytime outside of Cleaning Time.
• There is now a washing machine in the Home Economics room. You can use this to turn bloody clothing into clean clothing. (Note: Any clothing put inside of the washing machine will pop out as a school uniform, no matter what type of clothing it was before it was put into the machine. Except for gloves, and the raincoat!)
• It is now possible to trick students into disposing of dismembered limbs for you. Approach a dismembered limb while holding a garbage bag box, and you can wrap the limb in a garbage bag. During Cleaning Time, students will automatically pick up the trash and dump it into the incinerator for you.
• There is now a raincoat in one of the storage rooms. While wearing the raincoat, no blood splatters will get on your school uniform. To remove the raincoat, hold down the "1" key, or hold "down" on your controller's D-pad. (The same controls as removing a pair of gloves.)
• It is now possible to purchase a box of "Bang Snaps" from Info-chan. You can throw these to create a distraction a short distance away from you. (There is currently no animation for it, nor any way to fine-tune your aim to put the distraction exactly where you want it.)
• There is now a remote control next to the radio in the Audio-Visual Room. You can use this remote to activate the radio from a distance, instead of having to turn on the radio while standing right in front of it.
• It is now possible to unlock the full list of a student's likes and dislikes using Info-chan's Services menu. (It was previously only possible to unlock Osana's likes and dislikes.)
• There is now a new Bounty available. Ryuto's Bounty is the "Monday Bounty". After Monday, another Student becomes the bounty target.
• The "Senpai meets Amai" cutscene is now fully animated.
• Gema will change his appearance immediately after his Task has been completed. This means that you can complete his Task on Thursday morning so that the bullies will be distracted at lunchtime of the same day.
• If you have sabotaged one of Osana's events, you no longer have to watch the event fail in order fo it to "count" towards Osana's rejection. In short, you can simply skip ahead in time using the pink portal at Yandere-chan's desk, or even go straight home, and your act of sabotage will still contribute to Osana's rejection.
• If you want to eliminate Osana with matchmaking, but don't want to stick around and watch the matchmaking cutscene, you can now simply go straight home as soon as you've raised the matchmaking bar to 100 %, and Osana will count as "eliminated".
• Yandere Simulator now takes place in 2022 instead of 2021. The phase of the moon visible in the sky during the Stalker mission has been updated according to the actual phase that the moon will be in during the first week of April in 2022.
• The bullies fear Raibaru, so from now on, they will only bully Osana if Raibaru is not present.
• From now on, when Raibaru is trying to find Osana, she will travel to the last place where she saw Osana, instead of traveling to the place where the player disposed of Osana's corpse.
• If you poison Osana's bento and then skip past lunchtime, she will automatically die of poison. (You no longer have to watch her eat poison in order for her death to occur.)
• Previously, it was impossible to use the Pass Time command while a corpse was on school grounds This is no longer the case.
• Touched up the appearance of some of the clothing models that are used by the NPCs walking around o the street.
• It is no longer possible to use the "Send Home" command on someone who is wearing a towel and taking a shower.

February

February 2nd, 2021

• Added a new corpse disposal method to the school, the sewer.
• Previously, if you poisoned someone's bento and then immediately went to class before your victim even had a chance to eat the poison, the game would not acknowledge that the student should be dead. This bug has been fixed in the latest build.
• The act of trying to hide a corpse inside of a garbage bag is now considered an obvious sign that you're the killer and are trying to hide your crime, and will cause nearby characters to react accordingly.

• Added many new props to the incinerator area.

• If the player frames a student for murder, kills that student, and then disposes of the framed student's body, the police investigation sequence will now mention that the murder suspect is "missing".

• Osana now has a unique line of text if Yandere-chan tries to intimidate her as a delinquent.

February 19th, 2021

• If anything alarming (blood pools, bloody weapons, bloody clothing, severed limbs, corpses) is present at school, you now have the ability to walk into the faculty room and tell a teacher about it. This will instantly end the school day and summon the police.
• If you try to attend class while murder evidence is present at school, you will now see a window warning you that the police will be called if you attend class. You are then given the option of either returning to gameplay or attending class to deliberately bring the police to school.

March 22nd, 2021

• Raibaru was nerfed.
  • Budo's "ask Raibru to visit the Martial Arts Club" task was WAY too overpowered, so it has been changed. Budo will now refuse to talk to you about his Task unless you've befriended all of the Martial Arts Club students.
  • Raibaru will now investigate distractions such as giggles, radios, and bang snaps. However, if Raibaru is in an event, she will ignore the distraction. When this happens, a notification will appear onscreen.
  • Raibaru now walks beside Osana instead of walking behind Osana.

Raibaru's reputation has been lowered to a number that will make it much easier to eliminate her with gossip. (Raibaru now has half the reputation of Osana.)

• • The player can now talk to Raibaru anytime. However, Osana will stop moving when the player speaks to Raibaru.
  • Raibaru now performs an animation when Yandere-chan and Osana talk about the stalker on the school rooftop.
  • Adjusted numerous student routines so that there are many more students located along Osana's route through school, so that even if the player distracts Raibaru with an easy method such as a radio or a dropped object, the player still has to put forth some effort to distract (or kill) any other potential witnesses nearby Osana at the time.
• Replaced the headmaster statue behind the school.
• Delinquents will now accept snacks from Yandere-chan in Mission Mode so that it is possible to electrocute them at a drinking fountain.
• It is no longer necessary to spend all of your study points in order to leave the class screen.
• It is now possible to dispose of evidence by dumping them into the sewer.
• The post-credits headmaster scene now uses the new headmaster office models.
• From now on, you can't poison a bento if a witness can see you.

March 23rd, 2021

• From now on, every time you collect a Senpai Shrine item, the "lose control around Senpai" radius will get a little smaller. After 1 item it'll be 90 %, after 5 items it'll be 50 %, and after 10 items, Yandere-chan will no longer lose control of herself around Senpai.

March 29th, 2021

• Yandere-chan can now find a bookbag, place an item inside of it, wear the bookbag over her shoulder, and use the bookbag to transport the item. This frees up her hands to carry another item. This means that you can easily transport two objects (like radio + remote control) without having two make two trips. The bookbag can be found hanging on the wall next to Yandere-chan's locker (enter the school building from the right-most door.)
• The "Weapon Bag" from the ABC Challenge (allows you to transport any type of weapon without arousing suspicion) is now an aspect of normal gameplay. You can find it right next to the bookbag. You can wear the weapon bag and bookbag simultaneously; this means that you can transport a concealed weapon and concealed item at the same time!
• Added a ventilation system to the rooftop but it doesn't function yet.
• It is no longer possible to report a corpse to a teacher if you are currently bloody/insane, or if a student has just taken a photograph of you committing murder.
• Added some props to the Home Economics room.
• Raibaru now runs when she is going to a water fountain for a drink, instead of slowly walking.
• Raibaru now runs when she is investigating a radio, instead of slowly walking.
• Updated Geiju's hair texture.

March 30th, 2021

• The Science Club's cleaning robot can now be picked up and carried even after it has been activated.

April

April 2nd, 2021

• Previously, I decided to put the box of garbage bags and the roll of tarp into a random storage room purely because I didn't know where else to put them. I've decided to move them to the Home Ec room. That room now also contains a bucket, a mop, bleach, and a basin to get water for a bucket. Because it's also the location of the washing machine, the Home Ec room is now the one place in school with the highest number of useful objects for the player.
• If you are playing the game on keyboard and wearing a bookbag, the key to drop the bookbag is "6". This feature was fully functional in the previous builds, but the bookbag key wasn't marked with a number, so some players didn't understand how to drop the bookbag. The bookbag key now has a number floating next to it.
• Yandere-chan now wears different sleepwear when in her room at night, because her previous pajamas were completely out-of-character for her. She also takes her ponytail off at night.
• Adjusted student pathfinding so that students will no longer get stuck when trying to enter bathroom stalls during Cleaning Time.
• Added more props and decorations to the Home Ec room.
• Restored the outlines to characters' portraits, since a lot of people seemed to miss the outlines.
• Updated the Cooking Club hair textures, since the original ones were overly saturated.

April 7th, 2021

• It is now possible to back out of a socializing/gossiping interaction, and end the interaction without making any statements to the student you're talking to.
• Updated the "social interaction / gossip" interface to make it more clear whether the player is currently performing a positive or negative interaction.
• Info-chan's "Wad of Cash" is now $20 instead of $100, since it was way too imbalanced and trivialized the maid cafe minigame when it was $100.
• Changed Osana's routine at Cleaning Time so that she should no longer clip into Senpai while he's cleaning the school fountain.
• Updated the texture used by the school's cherry trees to be closer to the look-and-feel of actual real cherry trees and not over-saturated pink blobs.
• Completely replaced all of the props inside of the Science Lab so that it looks unique, instead of looking like any other classroom.
• Fixed bug that caused the outlines on some student portraits to be different widths than other students' outlines.
• Fixed bug that made Yandere-chan wear the wrong shoes (outdoor instead of indoor) in the intro cutscene.
• Updated one of the game's background tracks, "Schoolday 5", provided by CameronF305!
• Updated Yandere-chan's pajama model and "hair down at night" model.
• Updated the desk and chair models inside of the A/V Room.
• Completely re-arranged the props of the Home Ec room.
• Updated the light music club's hair textures.
• Updated Horuda's hair model and portrait.
• Updated the art club's hair textures.
• Updated the bullies' hair textures.
• Updated Uekiya's hair texture.

April 15th, 2021

• It is now possible to find a "manhole cover tool" in the faculty room. This is an alternative to beating up a delinquent to get a crowbar to open the manhole cover.
• It is now possible to purchase a box of stink bombs from Info-chan. You can use the stink bombs to make characters flee the immediate area for 10 seconds, then run back.
• There is now an emergency shower in the Science Lab room.
• Made a handful of aesthetic changes to some characters and props (the Martial Arts club members, the gym teacher, Amai's mother inside the bakery on the street, some of the bully girls, the infirmary anatomy model, etc).
• Made adjustment that will improve the framerate slightly at the start of the day, when looking towards the school building from the walkway leading up to school.
• Made changes to the particle system used by the fountain in the plaza that may improve the framerate for some players when looking towards the plaza.
• The player can no longer do a task for Raibaru. It was trivializing the entire "befriend Budo to get Raibaru to leave Osana's side" feature.
• Replaced the model for Osana's cat and the stray cat found at school. Instead of store-bought models with a realistic art style, the cats now use an original model with an anime art style!

April 17th, 2021

• Updated the hair texture of Shoku.
• Updated the gym teacher's portrait, since it didn't reflect her appearance at school.
• Added two new dolls to the plushie table in the Sewing Room.
• The Stink Bomb box now has an actual texture.
• Adjusted the duration of a stink bomb cloud.
• Added textures to the bullies' nails.
• Updated Shiromi's hair model.

May

May 1st, 2021

• The hidden debug functionality to delete all Yandere Simulator data from your computer's registry wasn't actually working properly - whoops! It should be working correctly now. If you've got a bug like "no students spawn at school" or "Raibaru is permanently dead, even when starting a new save file" then press the "R" key at the Demo Checklist screen.
• The act of taking a "Sneak Panty Shot" will now alarm students 2x faster than before, meaning that it's no longer safe to do in all circumstances.
• Delinquents now use the correct line of dialogue when dismissively walking away from the player after their patience has run out.
• Delinquents now use the correct line of dialogue when the player is trying to talk with them during classtime.
• Completing one of Info-chan's bounties is now worth 25 points instead of 50 points.
• Gave the stalker's father a new character model.

May 19th, 2021

• Someone asked for the ability to turn off the FPS display on the right side of the screen, so I've added this option to the Settings menu. You can toggle it on or off whenever you want.
• The "Sabotage" option is no longer available for sinks inside of the bathroom - only for drinking fountains in the hallways.
• Osana will no longer perform her "make a playlist for Senpai" event if she was already eliminated earlier in the week.
• During the Alphabet Killer Challenge, students were not using the proper routines. This has now been fixed.
• The "Send Student Home" feature is no longer an aspect of Mission Mode, since it was too overpowered.
• Stink bombs no longer affect Osana when she's waiting under the confession tree.
• Replaced the computer stations in the computer lab which much better models.
• Sleuths will no longer follow you into the locker room while investigating you.
• Stink bombs can no longer interrupt a mind-broken slave's murder animation.
• Updated the appearance of the chair that kidnapped victims are tied to.
• Updated the model of the tea house in on the east side of the school.
• The stalker's sister has a new character model and hairstyle.
• Minor aesthetic changes to a few characters, like Ryuto.
• Updated Titan Mode.

June

June 1st, 2021

• Yandere-chan can now find a bucket of brown paint in the Art Club. This paint can be added to a bucket of water to make the water look like mud (or something worse). Why did I add this to the game? Well, it doesn't make sense for students to take a shower after being splashed with water. They should only feel compelled to take a shower if they have been splashed with blood, gasoline, or an unidentified disgusting brown fluid. That's why the player has the ability to color water brown; to trick students into thinking it's something worse than water; something worth taking a shower over. However, I'm not 100 % sure if I'm going to go ahead with this decision yet, so for now, a simple bucket of water will still cause someone to take a shower.
• It is now possible to leave a note on Senpai's desk at school. Like leaving gifts on Senpai's desk, the purpose of this feature is to give Yandere-chan a way to anonymously build a relationship with Senpai without interacting with him directly, and also restore his sanity if it is damaged by her actions throughout the game. The "Language" stat will determine the effectiveness of your notes. Though, it doesn't affect anything during the demo.
• When leaving leaving Yandere-chan's home and going to school, the player now has the option of bringing an item from home to school. For now, the only options are some household items that could be used as weapons, and rat poison. To get rat poison, you must purchase it from the convenience store in the street. Also, if you destroy something that you've brought to school, it will stop being an option on the list of things that you can bring to school. More items will be added to this list in the future.
• From now on, whenever you sabotage one of a rival's events with Senpai, a "progress bar" will appear after the End-of-Day Results screen that shows you how close you are to sabotaging your rival's love confession. If you tried to sabotage an event, but you don't see this progress bar, it means that your sabotage attempt was unsuccessful.
• There are now 5 bounties available from Info-chan, one for each day of the week. Ryuto's bounty is still on Monday, but Kashiko's bounty has been moved to Friday. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are the days that contain the new bounties.
• There is now a "Subtitle Size" option in the game's Settings menu for people who want the game's subtitles to be a bit larger. This currently only effects subtitles that appear during gameplay, and not during cutscenes.
• New debug functionality for the turtle: Press the "O" key on your keyboard to make the "Spawn Victim" command spawn Osana, even if she is dead. (You can use this to revive Osana from death an infinite number of times.)
• The 3D model that appears when ordering a clean uniform from Info-chan or removing a bloody uniform from Yandere-chan's body will now reflect the actual uniform that the player chose for the school's female students.
• As of now, when you kill Osana with a weapon, the game will go into slow motion to make the kill more dramatic. This is something I always envisioned as part of the game even as far back as 2014.
• On a day when a memorial service is being held for a student's death, a vase with a flower inside of it will now appear on the deceased student's desk.
• Taking a photo of a plushie doll and sending it to Info-chan will now display the name of the person that the doll represents.
• When a mind-broken slave attacks a victim, blood splatters will now appear on the slave and victim's clothing.
• Updated the character model of Ebola-chan in Ebola Mode.
• There are now sound effects for opening the panty drawer, moving panties left/right, choosing a pair of panties, and closing the panty drawer.
• Replaced some of the game's oldest and lowest-quality sound effects (like the camera shutter sound effect) with newer, better ones.
• There are now sound effects when picking up a bucket, filling a bucket with water, and emptying a bucket.
• There are now sound effects when making menu selections at the title screen.
• There are now sound effects when a door opens or closes.

June 15th, 2021

• There is now a crafting system in Yandere Simulator! It is now possible to build certain items that were previously only obtainable through Info-chan, such as stink bombs, bang snaps, and lockpicks. It's also possible to use the crafting system to make a new weapon that isn't available otherwise, and to modify one existing weapon. (The modification is just for fun and has no gameplay application, but I still think that "just for fun" features have a lot of value.)
• Students will no longer re-position themselves along the path from Osana's lunchtime spot to the girls' bathroom in Mission Mode; that feature is meant only for Story Mode.
• Updated the interests of the Photography club, since they were all meant to have an interest in "Justice", and some of them lacked that interest.
• Made a few aesthetic adjustments / additions to the front part of the school. It's uncertain whether they will be kept or removed in the future.
• The poison bottle in the chemistry lab is now marked as "Lethal Poison" so that the player understands what type of poison it is.
• In Info-chan's "Services" menu, each of Info-chan's services now have proper icons instead of just question marks.
• Slight adjustmenst to titan behavior in Titan Mode to hopefully prevent titans from clumping up together so much.
• Improved Mai Waifu's "eye color cycles through multiple colors" effect.
• Yandere-chan is now using the correct shader in the beat-em-up scene.
• Added one new hairstyle for Yandere-chan.
• Added props to the Workshop room.
• Updated student portraits.
• The 2nd-place winner of the MediBang art contest is now present in the game, represented by a cute plushie doll found in the Sewing Room! The prize for the 1st place winner has not been completed yet.

June 16th, 2021

• From now on, if you exit the Class screen without using all of your Study Points, those Study Points will carry over to your next class session, instead of just vanishing.*
• The student council can no longer be alarmed by you when seeing you holding a weapon while crafting items at the workbench.
• It's no longer possible to visit the Demon Realm unless the player has enabled debug commands / easter eggs.
• Disabled grass during the Beat Em Up minigame, since it was causing lag for some players.
• You'll now see the name of the new plushie when you send Info-chan a photo of it.
• You will now hear sound effects when crafting things at the workbench.
• The "Practice" menu no longer defaults to "Very Hard" when opened.
• Improved / re-sized the Info-chan Services menu icons.
• Updated the appearances of 12 characters; Beshi, Dora, Kiba, Meka, Seiyo, Homu, Tsubaki, Horo, Uekiya, Yaku, Kenko, Kuu, and Saki.

June 17th, 2021

• Updated Dora's hair texture.
• Updated the game's credits

October

October 10th, 2021

• 1980s mode is added.
• The benefits of "Low Leg Panties" and "Old-Fashioned Fundoshi" have been swapped. It is now the Low Leg panties (obtainable before going to school on the first day of the game) that double your Study Points, enabling you to max out one of your school subject stats (such as Biology) by the end of the first day of school.
• There are now separate books in the library for passing time / training the suitor, instead of one book being used for both actions.
• It is now possible to interact with button prompts while crouching; you no longer need to stand in order to activate button prompts.
• The "bring item from home to school" menu now has a text box that offers a description of the currently-highlighted item.
• You will no longer automatically drop things when transitioning between standing and crouching.
• One of the teachers at school is a smoker, so there is now a box of cigarettes on her desk.
• Increasing your Psychology stat will now increase the effectiveness of your gossip.
• Replaced some of the props on the roof of the school (such as the clock face).
• The screwdriver is now located in the Workshop rather than the Science Club.
• Metal detectors will no longer detect the makeshift knife as a weapon.
• Replaced most of the decorative models in the Light Music Club.
• Updated the textures that the bullies use for their phones.
• Changed Raibaru's hair texture.
• Changed Horuda's hair texture.

October 11th, 2021

• Being pepper-sprayed by the Journalist now results in an "ARRESTED" game over rather than an "EXPELLED" game over.
• The protagonist's icon on the map is now Ryoba's face instead of Ayano's face when playing in 1980s Mode.
• Changed the line that the Headmaster says after incapacitating Ryoba with a taser.
• Kuroko has been removed from the "Pool's Closed" sign in 1980s Mode.
• Updated the hair texture for Sonoko (final rival).
• The word "memes" is now "jokes" in 1980s Mode.
• Updated the game's credits with the names of some of the people who contributed to 1980s Mode.

October 12th, 2021

• The Narcotics were intended to be "one-hit-kill" contraband; in other words reporting a rival for Narcotics was supposed to get the *girl arrested immediately, rather than just make a bit of progress towards her expulsion. This is now the way that the feature *functions. And, because it's such a powerful item, the price that the Yakuza charges for Narcotics has gone up.
• The explosive device will now cause students to fly up in the air when it explodes, instead of making them crumple lifelessly.
• Cooking Club students will no longer attempt to give food to rivals who are trying to have private conversations with Ryoba.
• If a girl is framed for possession of Narcotics, the "RIVAL EXPELLED" text will change to "RIVAL ARRESTED".
• Ryoba now wears pajamas when she is at home on Sunday (since she doesn't go to school on that day).
• Adjusted the Strength values for a few of the rivals.
• Removed the wi-fi signal icon from Ryoba's notepad.

October 13th, 2021

• In both the main story mode and 1980s Mode, the player can use a "Persona Mirror" to change their current Persona. Previously, if Ryoba selected the "Default" Persona, she would start using Ayano's idle/walk animations. From now on, selecting the "Default" Persona in 1980s Mode will restore Ryoba's default animations instead of Ayano's animations.
• It is no longer possible to talk to students while Yandere Vision is active. This means that you can no longer be snapped out of "Speed Up Time" mode by inadvertently talking to a passing student.
• It should no longer be possible to access the Extras menu from the 1980s Mode Title Screen (debug commands and easter eggs were never meant to be accessible in this mode).
• It is now possible to skip the entire tutorial sequence immediately after starting a new save file, instead of having to load into the school scene to skip the tutorial.
• Re-arranged and added props in the library so that students can no longer get stuck or become unable to pathfind and spin in circles inside the library.
• Increased the volume of some of the Journalist's voiced lines, since they were a bit too quiet.
• Osana can no longer appear on the 1980s Mode title screen.

October 14th, 2021

• Changed the texture of one student's hair, since it didn't fit in at all with the rest of the 1989 student body.
• The term "social media" will no longer appear as an option when leaving a note at a student's locker.
• Cooking Club students will no longer attempt to give food to students who are sleeping.
• It is no longer possible to walk on top of the library bookcase after pushing it over.

October 15th, 2021

• As of now, you no longer have to watch the outcome of a sabotaged Rival/Senpai event in order for the game to track it as a sabotaged event. After performing the act of sabotage, you can just go straight home, and your progress towards the Rejection elimination method will be updated accordingly.

Previously, Senpai did not eat lunch during Chigusa's week, making it impossible to sabotage Chigusa's "feed a bento to Senpai" event. From now on, Senpai will eat lunch during Chigusa's week, allowing the sabotage method to apply to her.

• Previously, Sonoko did not eat lunch during her week, making it impossible to kill her with a poisoned bento. From now on, Sonoko will eat lunch during her week, allowing the poison method to apply to her.
• Fixed bug that allowed a landline telephone to appear in the faculty room in the modern-day story mode.
• Corrected typo in "True Ending" timeline sequence; changed the spelling of Ichiro's name to Ichirou.
• Changed the text describing what the Chemistry stat does, since it was inaccurate.
• Tweaked Hose's student profile a bit.

October 16th, 2021

• The "Evil Photographer" now runs around the room searching for you after you light his bag on fire, instead of just standing still forever. (He's still not very threatening, though. I might make him more of a threat in a future update.)
• It is no longer possible to use the "pass 30 minutes" book after 5:30 PM, since you wouldn't be able to get in a full 30 minutes.
• Ryoba can now see the ghost of Sumire Saitozaki when activating Yandere Vision in the girls' bathroom where she died.
• Replaced the texturea of a female student whose hair and eyes didn't fit in with the rest of the cast.
• It is no longer possible to sabotage the power strip on the gym's stage if people are watching.

• A bust of 2022 Kocho will no longer appear during 1980s Mode.

October 17th, 2021

• Attempted to implement a "Reset Week" system. The game will now make an autosave at the beginning of every week, allowing you to return to the first day of the week anytime, from either the Calendar screen or the Heartbroken screen.
• Updated the official Yandere Simulator website to explain how the ranking system works: https://yanderesimulator.com/s-rank/
• Updated the "POOL'S CLOSED" sign for 1980s Mode.

October 18th, 2021

• The price of buying Narcotics from the Yakuza now goes up every week, to reflect the fact that each rival needs to be more difficult to defeat than the last one.
• Students no longer read a creepy demon book in 1980s Mode.

Added two new dolls to the doll shelf.

October 20th, 2021

• If a rival eats a bento that has sedative in it, she is supposed to be sleepy for the rest of the day; that means she is supposed to go to the infirmary, sleep, wake up for class, and then go straight back to sleep as soon as class is over. However, there was a bug that caused rivals to wake up around 5:30 PM and leave the infirmary, which they were not supposed to do. This bug has been fixed.
• There is now an upper limit to how much Reputation you can have. You are no longer permitted to have more than 100 Reputation. This means that you can no longer play super recklessly with the intention of covering it all up by giving yourself 300 Reputation on the last day of school to end up with an S Rank.
• It is now possible to skip to nighttime from your room without going to school. (This is free on the weekends, but doing it on a school day will result in losing 10 reputation points.)
• Renamed the "ID Card" in the faculty room to "Faculty Keycard" to prevent people from confusing the ID Card for a Fake ID that could be used in town to buy adult items.
• 1980s Mode now uses a different musical jingle when completing a Task for a student. It's the original "Task Complete" jingle that was created in 2015!
• All camera movements on the title screen are now 2x faster.

October 22nd, 2021

• From now on, whenever the player talks to a student about a subject (while socializing, gossiping, etc), the player will "learn" that student's opinion about that subject (meaning that their feelings about the subject - positive, negative, neutral - will appear as an icon next to that subject in the future).
• The "Pool's Closed" sign will now cause everyone except Ritsuko to stop sunbathing at the pool, because Ritsuko is the only person selfish enough to do whatever she wants, even if a sign is telling her not to. (She also says a line of dialogue about the sign while she's settling into her pool chair.)
• Previously, the manga in 202X and 1980s Mode shared the same descriptions, despite being completely different stories from different time periods. The manga in Ryoba's time period now have unique descriptions (when viewed from inside her home).
• All of Ryoba's kidnapped victims will now wear a blindfold, because it's possible for them to return to school (after their parents pay ransom money to the Yakuza) and Ryoba wouldn't want them to know who kidnapped them.

"pink portal" to go home.

• There were some photographs of 202X Kocho inside of 1989 Kocho's office. Two of these are now replaced, although I still need to replace another one.
• Updated the textures for Aija and the 202X photography club.
• Updated 202X student portraits.

October 23rd, 2021

• Sumire's ghost now uses the school uniform of 1980s Mode.
• Added more plush dolls to the plushie collection.

October 24th, 2021

• Added props outside the doors that open to the plaza to reduce (or hopefully eliminate) instances of students getting stuck on the doors while trying to enter the plaza).
• Himeko Dereguchi is meant to represent Himedere from Kuuere Simulator, so her hair model has been adjusted to more closely resemble Himedere's hairstyle.
• Changed Hose Shiruba's name to Joze Shiuba to reflect how the Portuguese pronunciation of "Jose Silva" would be spoken in Japanese.
• Teachers will now react to the player attempting to steal cigarettes from the faculty room.
• Rival reputation values have been adjusted, since they were previously way too low.

October 25th, 2021

• The player is not meant to be able to lockpick the nurse's cabinet in 202X (let's say that the lock was upgraded between 1989 and 202X) but the "Lockpick" option was still there on the cabinet, even though it was non-functional. This non-functional "Lockpick" option has been removed from 202X.
• It was weird to have the majority of students have the Snitch Persona, so 20 characters have had their Personas adjusted. Sports and Martial Arts students are Heroics, Science students are Teacher's Pets, and Occult students are Cowards.
• Positioned some props around the interior and exterior of the school and gym to reduce or eliminate the chances of the player getting stuck between a door and a wall if a student opened that door while the player was nearby it.
• Updated the textures for the rainbow girls' socks.

October 26th, 2021

• During Mission Mode, the bully girls will now eat food instead of sunbathe. This allows the player to successfully perform a mission that involves poisoning any of the bully girls.
• Students who are traveling to a meeting (because they found a note in their locker) will no longer get distracted by dropped objects on the ground on their way to the meeting.
• From the pause screen menu, the player now has the option to restart the day at Yandere-chan's home instead of restarting the day from school.

October 28th, 2021

• Whenever the player has some "pending reputation" - positive or negative - a string of text will appear above the reputation bar clearly communicating when their reputation is going to update.
• The game now recognizes dying in an explosion as a specific type of death (instead of just putting it into the vague "murder" category). Because the nature and cause of the explosion cannot be determined by the police, and because it's inconceivable that a student could have brought a military-grade explosive device to school, any death by explosion is ruled an accident resulting from static electricity igniting a nearby gas leak or something along those lines.
• If the player attempts to tell a student to perform an action to another student (such as murder) but the option is not available because the target student is currently busy with an event, the words "BUSY! TRY AGAIN LATER" now will appear over the target student's portrait in order to communicate to the player that the action is possible, just not available at that exact moment.
• I remembered that the entire point of adding the "Pool's Closed" sign to the game was to give the player a way to prevent the bullies from sunbathing so that they could be poisoned at lunchtime, so I reverted that "bullies eat food at lunchtime in Mission Mode" change.
• The "Haha, nope" text that displays when the player is not allowed to detonate an explosive has been replaced with more meaningful text that describes the exact reason why the explosive can't detonate.
• Any rival who is eliminated non-lethally and continues to attend school will no longer use the "Lovestruck" Persona after she has been eliminated.
• Replaced the final modern-day photograph in the headmaster's 1989 office so that all of his photographs are now appropriate for the time period.
• Changed the 202X gym teacher's last name so that she doesn't have the same last name as one of the 1980s Mode rivals.

October 29th, 2021

• I took away the short time delay before you're allowed to make selections on the Calendar screen so that you can get through it quicker.
• Updated Ryoba's hair model at the end of the "Thanks For Playing" sequence to reflect what her hair model looks like in 1980s Mode.
• Replaced the model of Ryoba's game console to make it more closely resemble a Japanse 80s console than a western 80s console.
• Replaced the duplicate plushie on the plushie shelf with a new one.
• Added another new plushie to the plushie shelf.

October 30th, 2021

• Changed Ryoba's standing idle animation, because I never liked the fact that she swayed back and forth during her idle. (Previously, she was using Akane's idle, but from now on she'll be using an original idle.)
• Deleted a prop from the drama club to prevent pathfinding issues from occurring in that room.

November

November 1st, 2021

• Lowered the volume of the music in the Alphabet Killer Challenge since it was way too loud compared to all other audio in the game.
• From now on, if a falling bookcase crushes a radio, it will turn off that radio.

November 2nd, 2021

• If the bookcase is pushed over without killing the librarian rival (Honami), she will adjust her routine and stop walking over to that bookcase.
• The save file text seen from the title screen will now always have a black outline, since that makes it much more legible.
• The "Killing Rival Slow Motion" effect will no longer occur when tranquilizing a rival in the gym storage room.
• Removed "...that...ring..." easter egg from 1980s Mode, since it only applies to 202X.

November 5th, 2021

• Added some tools that the player can find in the Student Council room in Alphabet Killer Challenge.
• Added a difficulty display to the lphabet Killer Challenge.
• Because the game is still in development, certain school subject ranks do not grant benefits. For example, leveling up Chemistry from Rank 1 to Rank 2 doesn't grant you any new abilities. Certain players believed that this was a bug, and have been reporting the issue to me. To reduce confusion, the game will now clearly communicate whether or not a specific school subject benefit is implemented while displaying the "Rank Up" window after the player has leveled up a specific school subject.
• From now on, if Ryoba kidnaps any student that wears glasses, that student will not wear their glasses in Ryoba's basement. This is to prevent issues with glasses clipping through a kidnapped character's blindfold.
• Removing clothing in the shower building will now automatically remove any masks that the player may be wearing.
• From now on, the 1989 task book will be gone from 202X, and the 202X task book will be gone from 1980s Mode.

January 6th, 2021

• A lot of players were confused by the event that is triggered when entering the hair salon in 1980s Mode. I've adjusted the event slightly so that it's a bit more apparent what is going on.
• The convenience store in 1980s Mode is a different chain than the one in 202X, so from now on, its appearance will be different in 1989.
• Adjusted height of the tall woman in the town, since I accidentally made her much taller than intended.
• Updated the voiced lines of the drug addicts in the asylum to reflect how I imagined them talking.
• Updated the sprites and dialogue of the shopkeepers in the 1980s Mode shopping street.
• Adjusted 1980s Mode rival portraits slightly.

November 9th, 2021

• The player will now learn how a student feels about socializing after socializing with them one time (successfully or unsuccessfully).
• The player will now learn how a student feels about solitude after befriending that student.
• Previously, the the "Gossip" option would only become unavailable after the player had performed a successful gossip interaction. This allowed the player to gossip repeatedly until they got it right. From now on, the "Gossip" option will become unavailable after the player has used it once, regardless of whether or not they failed or succeeded.
• Teachers in 1980s Mode now make calls from retro-looking cell phones modeled after actual cell phones that really existed in 1989, instead of using modern-looking cell phones. (The headmaster requested the latest in portable telephone technology from Saikou Corp.)
• Students who are distracted by a dropped object while eating will now set their bento down while investigating the dropped object, allowing you to poison their bento while they are investigating something suspicious.
• It's no longer possible to start the Alphabet Killer Challenge on any day other than Week 1 Day 1. Starting the challenge on any other day could lead to bugs.
• The amount of money that the player can earn from delivering certain kidnapped prisoners to the Yakuza was way too high, and it has been reduced.
• Delinquents no longer react if they see a weapon dropped on the ground. They simply don't care.

November 10th, 2021

• Now 1980s Mode has been out for a month and everyone has had a chance to play it "properly", I have now enabled the Extras menu at the 1980s Mode title screen, allowing people to access debug commands and easter eggs while playing 1980s Mode.
• Replaced textures for certain posters on walls that contained corny 4th-wall-breaking jokes.
• Ryoba now uses the correct idle animation and walk animation when in the town.
• Ryoba now uses the correct idle animation when inside of her room.
• It is now possible to giggle while crouching or crawling.

November 12th, 2021

• Previously, the police would be called if the player attended class while a corpse concealed inside of a garbage bag was at school. This has been adjusted; now the player can attend class with a corpse present at school, as long as that corpse is inside of a garbage bag.
• In a previous build, I updated the amount of money that the Yakuza pays you for kidnapped victims, but I didn't update the price labels in his menu. The price labels have now been updated to reflect how much money you actually get from him.
• From now on, whenever a suitor attempts to approach a rival but her corpse has been concealed / disposed of, the suitor will look around in a confused fashion, leave, and not look for the rival for the rest of the day.
• You can now use Persona Mirrors to restore Ryoba's original "swaying from side to side" idle animation, in case you prefer it over her new idle animation.
• The player is no longer allowed to pick up the radio in 1980s Mode, because using the radio in certain ways during the tutorial could result in bugs.
• The NPCs in the town are now different between 1989 and 202X.
• Updated the 1980s Mode rival portraits.

November 13th, 2021

• Upgraded the game from Unity 2019 to Unity 2020.

November 14th, 2021

• Yandere-chan will now drop whatever she is holding in her hands before performing the "add poison to bento" animation (because it's weird to do that animation with something already in her hands).
• Adjusted the "drug addict in asylum" voice lines to all be the same length, instead of having drastically different lengths.
• Edited the pamphlets around the school that featured smartphones, since they wouldn't have applied in 1989.
• "Hair down, no ponytail" is now one of Ayano's hair options when debug commands are enabled.
• The microphone in the Light Music Club in 1989 now looks different than it does in 202X.
• The gym uniforms in 1980s Mode now look dfiferent from the ones in 202X.
• Updated the hairstyle of Himari (202X gardening club girl).
• Updated Ayano's appearance for the first time in 7 years.
• Added many more stocking options to the Pose Mode menu.
• Updated Witness-chan's hair. She's very pretty now!

November 16th, 2021

• If you pay the Yakuza to kidnap a girl, you will now see a cutscene where the girl is kidnapped. The cutscene will play on the subsequent day, after you've left home for school.
• Gema now eats food at lunchtime during Mission Mode so that it's possible to complete a mission that involves poisoning him.
• Optimized code related to tracking reputation to reduce reputation's effect on performance and improve framerate.
• The Psychology stat now has an accurate description when using the Gaming Club's computer to boost your stats.
• Updated Scheme text that incorrectly claimed a screwdriver could be found in the Science Club.
• Updated the "Watch Senpai and Osana walk to school" scene to use Ayano's new hair model.

• Updated Ayano's Yancord icon to use her new hairstyle.

November 18th, 2021

• It is no longer possible for Ryoba to kill her future husband by pushing a bookcase on him.
• Added a "Skip" button to the "Ryoba gets arrested" cutscene.

November 22nd, 2021

• Previously, if the player crouched while holding a small weapon, the protagonist would automatically conceal the weapon. This is no longer the case. The protagonist will now continue to hold the weapon in their hands while crouching. (However, this does not apply to large weapons; only small ones.)
• If a rival was kidnapped, turned into a mind-broken slave, and then used for a murder-suicide, the game would count her as "kidnapped" rather than "dead in a murder-suicide." From now on, the game will track that rival's death as "suicide" rather than "kidnapped."
• Because the ability to send a rival to check her locker for a note is extremely powerful, rivals will now refuse to believe you when you tell them that there's a note in their locker, unless you've befriended them and your reputation is past a certain threshold.
• Previously, if the player put a bloody gym uniform or bloody swimsuit into a washing machine, the machine would spit out a clean school uniform instead of spitting out the appropriate clothing. This is now fixed.
• A mind-broken slave walking through a metal detector with a metal weapon will now set off the metal detector (but it won't stop her from continuing towards her destination).
• Adjusted the bloom settings for the "rival confesses to suitor" cutscene so that the bloom doesn't obscure the visuals, but the scene still retains a "dreamlike" feeling.
• Removed one of the drinking fountains in the school, because its position was interfering with students' ability to correctly locate the nearest drinking fountain.
• The player is now required to join the Science Club in order to use the vat of acid or emergency shower inside the science clubroom.
• Miyuji Shan will now eat food during Mission Mode so that it's possible to complete a mission that involves poisoning her.
• Re-arranged three characters in the 1980s Mode Alphabet Killer Challenge who were out of alphabetical order.
• Expanded the size of the "Matchmaking Results" window so that the text isn't so squished and tiny.
• The text that displays during the tutorial has been updated to tell the player how to run.
• Made an optimization to the beat-em-up minigame that should result in a better framerate.
• The particle effect for being sprayed by a metal detector has been updated.
• Updated the Basu sisters' hair models.
• Updated Himari's hair again.

November 25th, 2021

• Modern-day competition swimsuits are skintight leggings, so the 202X Sports Club boys have been given leggings instead of trunks. (To see all of them in their new swimwear, you'll have to play Week 2, since two of the boys do not swim on Week 1.)
• The player's Language stat will now increase the effectiveness of the articles they write for the school newspaper. (At maximum level, the Language stat will double the effectiveness of your articles.)
• When the player saved their game at school, certain objects would not update their positions correctly. Those objects should now be updating their positions properly.
• When opening up the Stats screen from the Calendar screen, the transition is now 5x as fast.
• Updated the models and textures of the armbands that the club leaders wear.
• The headmaster's office is now locked during the 1980s Mode tutorial.
• Updated Shiromi's hair model.
• Updated Kaga's hair model.

November 28th, 2021

• You can now jump straight to a specific week in 1980s Mode. At the title screen, highlight a save file and press the "R" key (or the "Y" button on controller) to access a screen that lets you skip straight to any week of your choosing.
• Devoted fans of Yandere Simulator have developed a mod that translates the game from English into Russian. However, players were unable to use buckets while using this mod, since buckets were programmed to check button prompts for the presence of certain English words in order to operate. I have updated the bucket's functionality to no longer be dependent on the words in its button prompt, so that foreign fans of the game using translation mods don't lose access to any of the game's features.
• When Ayano talks to Osana to discuss her stalker, she says "I overheard you talking with your friend." However, this conversation can be initiated before Osana talks to Raibaru about her stalker. So, that line of dialogue is now slightly different if the conversation is initiated before Osana has had an opportunity to talk to Raibaru about her stalker.
• Changed the texture for the hedges and bushes around the school. Hedge walls and bushes dominate many parts of the school, so this significantly changes the look-and-feel of the school.
• The boys in the Sports Club (both time periods) now have different levels of musculature when they are in their swimming outfits. (It's subtle, but it's there.)
• From now on, if the player uses the "Sneak Panty Shot" feature while holding an object, they will drop the object before pulling out their phone.
• The boys of the 1989 Sports Club now have different legging textures than the boys of the 202X Sports Club.
• Fixed bug that could cause two students sent to sleep in the infirmary to choose to sleep in the same bed.
• Updated Schoolday 9 with a new, revised version of the track composed by CameronF305.

December

December 3rd, 2021

• The 6th rival, Ai Doruyashi, performs a song in the school gym. The song that she was performing up until this point didn't match my mental image of what her songs would be like. So, the composer and the vocalist re-worked the song, and now Ai's song matches my mental image of how her performances should sound! I'm really happy with the latest version!
• For some reason, typing 'debug' at the Extras screen was not enabling debug commands, as it was supposed to. I have been unable to determine the cause of the bug, so I have implemented a new way to unlock debug commands. While at school, type the letters "d e b u g" and debug commands / easter eggs will be unlocked.
• When selecting your save file on the title screen, the option to enter the "Week Select" screen will now only appear if you're highlighting a new save file (it was never intended to work on pre-existing save files.)
• Students who have already been kidnapped once in the past (and have been released by the Yakuza after their family paid a ransom) will now refuse to follow the player once they have returned to school.
• Updated the Sports Club boys' swimming leggings with new textures that feel a bit more realistic and aren't so cartoony.
• From now on, activating the Cyborg Mode eastre egg will deactivate Raibaru's "instantly counter any attack" feature.
• Updated the Student Council girls' appearances slightly to make them match their new official artwork more closely.
• Updated the texture of the hedge behind Senpai when viewing his portrait inside the Senpai Shrine.
• Made slight adjustments to the hair models of the rich girl rival and final rival of 1980s Mode.
• Updated the "Schoolday 5" music track with a more gentle lead instrument.
• Updated the textures used in the Cyborg Mode easter egg.
• Updated the appearance of the 1989 nurse.
• Updated the Rainbow 6's socks slightly.
• Updated Raibaru's hairstyle.

December 5th, 2021

• From now on, the "School Atmosphere Percent" number on the Calendar screen will turn white if the school atmosphere is lower than 50 %, so that it's no longer a black number against a black background.
• Adjusted the visual effects on the Calendar screen for 1980s Mode so that "low school atmosphere" effects do not cause certain aspects of the UI to become difficult to read.
• There were still a few pamphlets around the school in 1980s Mode that featured images of modern-day smartphones. These have been changed.
• There is now a spare uniform in the Sewing Club in 1989 so that the player can now actually use the emergency showers in 1980s Mode.
• Updated the texture for the 1989 swimming leggings.

December 12th, 2021

• If the player lowered School Atmosphere, every member of the Newspaper Club would become Sleuths, meaning that the Newspaper Club President would never be inside of his clubroom, meaning that the player would never be able to join the Newspaper Club. This oversight has been addressed; the Newsppaer Club President now stays inside of his clubroom when atmosphere is low.
• Previously, in order to invest study points into a school subject, the player had to tap a button repeatedly. This became very tedious if the player had saved up 50+ study points and wanted to invest them all at once. As of now, the player can simply hold down the left/right button to add/subtract study points, instead of tapping a button repeatedly.
• Students no longer react to petty things (like Yandere-chan crouching) if they are currently hiding in their classrooms, cowering in fear because they saw something that caused them to worry about the possibility of a killer at school.
• It is no longer possible to strike up a conversation with a student while they are cowering in fear in their classroom, scared because of something they saw in school.
• Updated Senpai's default hair model for the first time in 7 years. With this, I believe that the game is no longer using any "Game Asset Studio" hair models anywhere.
• From now on, being shoved by a student council member while crouching or crawling will cause the player to stand up.
• Updated the 1980s Mode delinquent boys with higher-quality hair models and textures.
• Changed the hair model for one of the Light Music Club girls in 1980s Mode.

December 14th, 2021

• It is now possible to attack Raibaru without being counter-attacked if you have poisoned Raibaru first (with any of the 4 types of poison). (It was always supposed to work this way; I didn't realize that this feature wasn't functioning properly.)
• Updated the text that describes the benefits of raising your Physical Education stat. (Specifically, the text that displays when using the Gaming Club's computer to boost your stats.)
• It is now possible to pause the game during a Befriend/Betray mission.}

January

January 1st, 2022

• It is now possible to perform certain actions by tapping the relevant button instead of holding it until a circle fills up. Currently, the only two actions that this applies to are throwing stink bombs and opening/closing doors. This will be tested on other interactive objects, as well, to see if it’s feasible to upgrade other objects in this way without interfering with the functionality of the object.
• Upon picking up a key that was dropped by a dead student, their key ring will now disappear and a message will appear at the top of the screen confirming that the player has obtained a key. This change was made to prevent players from becoming confused and unsure whether or not they picked up the key or not.
• Typing "d e b u g" during school gameplay will now make it possible for the player to use the skull in the occult room to travel to the demon realm (as long as they have stained the ritual knife with blood, of course).
• Updated the hair texture for the "Huntress" easter egg. (It is the most outdated easter egg and should probably be removed or re-designed, but it’s too low priority to justify spending much time on it right now.)
• Changed Ryoba’s line of dialogue for apologizing to students for carrying a weapon while splattered with blood. (The previous line of dialogue was identical to the line Ayano says, which references the Internet.)
• Once you have put a weapon inside of a bag and are wearing the bag on your back, you can now pull out the weapon and equip it with one button press, instead of having to drop the bag just to pull out the weapon.
• School atmosphere penalties have been adjusted. If a student disappears, School Atmosphere will drop by 10 %. If a student’s corpse is discovered at school, School Atmosphere will drop by a further 10 %.
• Teachers will no longer react to the sight of Yandere-chan throwing a stink bomb when they are guarding a corpse (they are not concerned about petty misbehavior when deaths are occurring at school.)
• Any student guarding a corpse will no longer react to stink bombs (they can put up with a smell for a few moments if they are busy with the important duty of guarding a dead body).
• Adjusted the year that the game takes place; Ayano’s story is now set in 2023. The timeline at the end of the 1980s Mode bonus cutscene has been adjusted accordingly.
• The "HairTemplate.png" texture in the Streaming Assets folder has been replaced with the new hair texture for Yandere-chan.
• A corpse wrapped in garbage bags will now have an orange outline around it when viewed in Yandere Vision.
• It is no longer possible to enter SNAP Mode while an easter egg is active, because this would cause bugs.
• Adjusted the hair models and textures of the 202X Photography Club (except for the club leader Fureddo).

Subtly adjusted / improved the hair models for some of the male and female students in 1980s Mode.

• Updated the portraits for some of the 202X characters (Raibaru, Osana, faculty members).
• The act of carrying a candle throughout school is now considered suspicious behavior.
• Any suitor who sees you attack a rival will now attempt to apprehend you.

January 8th, 2022

• From now on, if the player obtains lethal poison, a sedative, or a lockpick while at school and brings it home, they will be able to bring that item from home to school in the future.
• Put a "CLUBMEMBER USE ONLY" sign above the vat of acid in the Science Club so that players would understand that the protagonist can only use the vat if they have joined the club.
• Changed "Raibaru walks beside Osana" code back to "Raibaru walks behind Osana like a pet dog" code. The "walk beside" code resulted in too many bugs and janky-looking situations.
• All characters in 1980s Mode now have profiles and appropriate likes/dislikes that match their profiles / identities!
• The Characters page of the official website has been updated with pictures of Saisho Saikou when he was younger!
• It is now possible to pickpocket a shed key from the Gardening Club leader in 1980s Mode.
• Updated Ryoba’s walk animation to match the arm position of her idle animation.
• Updated the hair models and textures for a handful of characters.
• It is now possible to pick up pebbles inside of the Asylum stealth mission and toss them to make a small noise that temporarily distracts anyone close enough to hear it.
• It is now possible to find a bottle of lethal poison and a bottle of sedative in the Asylum, and bring the items home with you once you’ve finished the mission.
• It is now possible to use "Yandere Vision" during the Asylum stealth mission to see the location of enemies and the items that you’re looking for.
• It is now possible to hide inside of lockers during the Asylum stealth mission. Enemies cannot detect you while you’re inside of a locker.

January 17th, 2022

• If the player attempts to attend class while the washing machine is currently washing some bloody clothing, the game will report that there is currently bloody clothing present at school. This is intentional, but has been mistaken for a bug. From now on, the text "The washing machine is still running" will display when the player attempts to attend class under these circumstances, so that the player understands why the game is reporting the presence of bloody clothing.
• From now on, whenever the player highlights the "Report Narcotics" option in the Counselor menu, a little warning will appear to let the player know that reporting a girl for possession of illegal narcotics will cause her to be arrested, NOT expelled.
• From now on, if a rival’s suitor goes looking for the rival, but they are inside of the school incinerator, the suitor will look around in a confused fashion, then leave and not search for the rival any more.
• From now on, any female student with a smile as their default facial expression will no longer smile if Ryoba tries to speak to them, if the student has witnessed Ryoba commit murder in the past.
• All students in 1980s Mode now have unique reputation values (previously, they were all using the same reputation values as the 202X students).
• Updated the "Characters" page of the official website with new artwork for how Ryoba looks in modern day, and also artwork for Ronshaku Loans.
• The message "Debug Commands Enabled!" will now appear when activating debug commands, so that players can be certain that they are activated.
• The Art Club in 1980s Mode now create unique cherry tree paintings on Friday, instead of creating the same paintings as the 202X Art Club.
• There was a part of the asylum that did not have proper ground detection, allowing Ryoba to walk on air. This area is now inaccessible.
• The "police investigation sequence" now features unique background music in 1980s Mode, composed by CameronF305.
• Updated various miscellaneous hair models for female students in 1980s Mode.
• Changed the hairstyle for the 1980s Mode Martial Arts Club President.
• It is now possible to find a box of cigarettes inside of the asylum.
• Updated the hair model for one of the 202X swimming club boys.
• Ryoba now uses the correct face when she is in the town.

February

February 1st, 2022

• The "remove weapon from container with one button press" feature wasn’t fully thought-out, so it has been re-worked. Now, to remove a weapon from a container attached to your back, you must activate Yandere Vision and then press the "R" key (or Y button on controller). This button also allows you to instantly put the weapon back into the container without having to drop the container first.
• The moon will be full during the middle of the first week of April in 2023, so the phase of the moon in the night sky now reflects this during the stalker house stealth mission.
• The "Censor Killing Animations" and "Replace Blood With Flowers" features now function properly with the "killing Osana with rooftop fan" animation.
• Improved the "fire inside of drum barrel" effect so that it doesn’t look like the fire is clipping through the sides of the barrel.
• Updated the run animation that Ayano uses inside of her room to be the same one that she uses while at school.
• Added one more illustration of Saisho Saikou to the Characters page of the official website.
• Updated the text for Ichiko Saikou on the Characters page of the official website.
• Added text labels on the map screen for the Workshop and the Home Ec room.
• Completely replaced Ryoba’s idle/walk/run animations with new ones.
• Increased the run speed of Ayano/Ryoba when inside of their rooms.
• On the title screen, adjusted "year 2022" text to "year 2023".
• The teachers of 202X now have text in their profiles.
• A bunch of miscellaneous little improvements in various places through out the game, like adjusting the appearance of the hearts at the end of the "Thanks For Playing The Demo!" sequence.

February 2nd, 2022

• If the player used the "Week Select" menu to befriend every student in school, they would never be able to perform Togo’s task, and therefore never be able to unlock access to the Yakuza. This problem has been solved; using the "Week Select" menu to befriend students will now automatically unlock access to the Yakuza.
• If the player obtains rat poison, alcohol, or cigarettes while at school, and brings those items home, those items will now appear as options in the "Bring Item To School From Home" menu.

February 4th, 2022

• Corrected student profiles that only had 4 likes/dislikes instead of 5 likes/dislikes.
• The Journalist will no longer attempt to apprehend Ryoba if an easter egg is active.

February 11th, 2022

• I realized that "only one tarp bag spawns when you dismember a corpse on top of a sheet of tarp" was not a bug, it was how the feature was supposed to work. So, the feature has been reverted back to how it originally was.
• Since 1980s Mode takes place after Ryoba had already been stalking her Senpai for 1 year, the Senpai Shrine in her room is now filled with items from the start of the game.

February 14th, 2022

• Added the optional "80s blue tint" effect to certain scenes that didn’t previous possess the effect.

February 18th, 2022

• If Osana has an event scheduled to take place immediately after she changes her shoes at her locker, she will fail to notice a note inside of her locker, because she is too distracted/preoccupied by her upcoming event. This is a deliberate game design decision, not a bug. However, many people misidentified it as a bug and reported it. So, from now on a message will be displayed onscreen if Osana overlooks a note in her locker, to inform players of why she didn’t find the note.
• If you are playing with a keyboard, it is now possible to use the WASD keys to move the little target icon during the guidance counselor segment, if you would prefer to do that instead of using your mouse cursor to click your reply to the guidance counselor.
• From now on, the 1980s Mode student council member responsible for patrolling in clubrooms will patrol through the Newspaper Club, as well. (Previously, he didn’t.)
• From now on, the game will remember the state of the bookshelves in the library (whether or not they have been knocked over) when saving and loading.
• When removing an item from a bookbag, the item now instantly appears in the protagonist’s hands, instead of unceremoniously plopping onto the ground.
• It is no longer possible to conceal a trash can inside of a bookbag.

March

March 1st, 2022

• It is now possible to shower while wearing a bathing suit, and wash blood off of the bathing suit that way.
• Because it is now possible to wash blood off of your body and a swimsuit simultaneously, the swimsuit just became an advantageous outfit. To balance this new feature and prevent it from being overpowered, characters will now react negatively to you if they see you walking around in a swimsuit unless you’re behind the school (where the pool is located). (Walking around inside of a school while wearing a swimsuit never should have been seen as normal behavior, anyway.)
• From now on, when playing the Light Music Club’s rhythm minigame in 1980s Mode, the graphics will be different than the graphics of 202X Mode. (The characters are currently using silhouettes instead of colored artwork, though, since the designs of the 1980s Mode music club have not yet been finalized.)
• Changed the hairstyle of 1980s Mode Student #75. She is one of the girls that you can kidnap for the Yakuza. I changed her hairstyle to resemble the hairstyle from the "Yakuza holding girl hostage" artwork that appeared in the video where the Yakuza was first announced.
• I reconsidered how the tarp feature should work. Dismembering a student lying on top of a tarp sheet WILL result in 6 tarp bags, but each tarp bag will be recognized by students as a trash bag that should be picked up and dumped in the incinerator at cleaning time.
• There is a new prop somewhere at school. What is the purpose of this prop? It’ll become apparent in the next update…
• Curtains can now be opened with a button tap rather than a button hold.
• Crouching in front of your Senpai is no longer an automatic game over.
• It is no longer possible to fit an entire jerry can into a bookbag.
• You can now use the "M" key to mute the music in the street scene.
• Changed the hairstyle of 1980s Mode Student #53.

March 11th, 2022

• Added the water cooler trap
• Added the car battery
• From now on, any locker that contains a dead body will have an orange outline around it in Yandere Vision, instead of a cyan outline.

March 13th, 2022

• Added the ability to remove a tripwire trap from a water cooler, so that if you accidentally place it in the wrong place, you can correct your mistake without waiting for someone to trigger the trap first.
• Water coolers are now incapable of being tipped over onto their sides, eliminating the possibility of the player setting up a tripwire trap that floats in midair.
• Slightly expanded the size of the "student triggered the tripwire" hitbox to reduce the possibility of a character walking into a tripwire without triggering it.
• The game will now remember the existence/location of puddles of liquid (water, blood, gas, and brown paint) when saving/loading the game.
• When holding a bucket that contains liquid, it is now possible to spill the contents of the bucket on the ground in front of you.
• The act of creating a tripwire trap is now considered suspicious; if anyone sees you do it, they’ll react negatively.
• The game will now remember the location/status of the water cooler when saving/loading the game.
• The act of carrying a water cooler around school is now considered suspicious behavior.

March 30th, 2022

• If a student witnesses a character being electrocuted in a puddle of water, and the player was witnessed throwing a car battery immediately before the electrocution, the student will be aware that the player just deliberately killed someone, and will react according to their Persona (apprehend the player, take a photo of the player, etc).
• Originally, debug commands and easter eggs were unlocked by typing the word "debug" in the Extras menu. This functionality was changed a while ago. Debug commands and easter eggs are nwo unlocked by typing the word "debug" while at school. The "Congratulations, you completed the demo!" text has been updated to reflect this.
• From now on, any rival who is not present at school will have a silhouette portrait instead of a fully colored and detailed portrait. This is to reflect the fact that the protagonist isn’t meant to know who her next rivals are until they actually appear at school.
• A lot of players didn’t understand that Ayano’s mode ends after Week 1 and that completing the "Amai Challenge" does not advance the game, so I have added a screen that explains this which will appear anytime the player ends a day on Week 2 of Ayano’s mode.
• It is no longer possible to gossip about faculty members. As a mechanic, it wouldn’t make sense. There is no reason to gossip about them, and they wouldn’t be as emotionally/psychologically susceptible to gossip as a student would be.
• Senpai will now speak a different line of dialogue when witnessing bizarre behavior from Yandere-chan (like creating a trap with a water cooler) because his previous line of dialogue didn’t suit most situations.
• Student Council members and teachers now dismantle the water cooler tripwire trap if they encounter one, since part of their their job is to keep an eye out for misbehavior and pranks.
• The protagonist now automatically changes her shoes when entering/exiting the school building. This feature was inspired by a mechanic in Pokemon Legends Arceus.
• The "chibi Yandere-chan running" animation at the bottom-right corner of the loading screen now depicts Ryoba instead of Ayano if the player is in 1980s Mode.
• The "Create Tripwire Trap" prompt will now appear red, to communicate to the player that it is a suspicious action that will alarm anyone who witnesses it.
• The color of every female character’s panties is now randomly chosen at the start of the school day.
• It is no longer possible to conceal a mop, a bucket, or a water cooler inside of a bookbag.
• The photographs in the Photography Club are now different in 1989 than in 202X.
• The pipe wrench has been moved from the storage room to the pool’s pump room.
• Updated Info-chan’s hair model and the outfit she wears in the Amai cutscene.
• The headmaster’s lips move when he talks now, in both 202X and 1989.
• It is now suspicious to walk around school carrying a car battery.
• Loading into the school scene is now 10 seconds faster!
• Added stockings to Sakyu and Inkyu.
• Updated Sakura’s hair model.

April

April 15th, 2022

• The headmaster now has 17 voiced lines in the 80s. 5 for when you enter his office and stand far away, 5 for when you enter his office and stand really close to him, 5 for when you walk around inside his office with a cardboard box over your body, 1 for when he is delivering a eulogy at a dead student’s memorial, and 1 for when he is shooting you with a tazer.
• If the Light Music Club closes down, the 5 musicians of 1980s Mode lose access to their instruments. This resulted in a bug where the musicians stood on stage during Ai’s week without instruments. This bug has now been fixed; they won’t perform on stage if their club has been shut down.
• Added a portable bunsen burner to the game. This is to allow the player to set students on fire even if the Occult Club has been shut down and the player has lost access to the candle. The portable bunsen burner is found in the Chemistry classroom.
• The "Use Photo of Senpai to Restore Sanity" feature now deletes the photo from Ayano’s phone, to explain why it cannot be "Used" again and why she loses access to the "Gaze at photo of Senpai to speed up time" feature.
• From now on, if the player runs into a student soaked in gasoline while holding an open flame (such as a candle or portable bunsen burner) other characters will recognize this as a deliberate murder attempt.
• The boys who follow Chigusa around school in 1980s Mode will now stand further away from her when she is meeting with someone, such as when she’s talking with Ryoba on the school rooftop.
• Type the letters "M E D I B A N G" while at school to change Yandere-chan’s outfit to the outfit designed by the winner of the Medibang Art contest!
• The training dummy in the martial arts club was not broken until 202X, so it will no longer be depicted in a broken state in 1980s Mode.
• The protagonist’s footstep sound effects are now "bare feet" sound effects when the protagonist is wearing the martial arts club attire.
• Removed the "Change Shoes" button, since it became non-functional after shoe-changing began to happen automatically.
• The act of picking up a collectible in the asylum no longer makes a loud clunking noise.
• All teachers now have different bust sizes instead of each having identical bodies.
• Improved the appearance of the planters on the school rooftop.
• Updated the textures for Mai Waifu, Midori, Pippie, and Ryuto.
• Updated the clothing that Ryoba wears in the street scene.
• Updated the character models used by the 202X teachers.
• Updated Himedere’s hair model.
• Updated Kiba’s hair model.

May

May 1st, 2022

• Someone pointed out that when a character is kidnapped and tied to a chair in the protagonist’s basement, the clothing that they wear in the basement does not match the same clothing that they were wearing when they were kidnapped. It would be possible to program the game to remember what clothing a character was wearing at the time they were kidnapped and make them appear in that outfit in the basement, but this feature would require constant "maintenance" every time a new outfit is added, so it would be more trouble than it’s worth. Instead, all kidnapped victims in Ayano’s basement will be dressed in rags, instead. They will also wear rags when appearing as mind-broken slaves at school, as well.
• The "steal ring from Himedere" mechanic was too awkward and confusing for many players, so the "girl takes off ring at lunchtime" event has been removed from the game. Now, the method for stealing a ring from Himedere is to splash water on her and steal her ring when she leaves it unattended in the locker room.
• From now on, if a student’s Persona changes (such as when a rival survives their week and their Persona changes from "Lovestruck" to "Snitch" or something like that) the text in their Student Info page will update to reflect this.
• From now on, when the player discovers a student’s "Crush" (such as when they speak to the rival’s suitor and confirm that the suitor has a crush on the rival), the text in their Student Info page will update to reflect this.
• Previously, it was impossible to complete a Mission Mode mission that involved killing Raibaru with fire, because Raibaru dodged all liquid. From now on, it will be possible to splash Raibaru with liquid in Mission Mode.
• Previously, it was impossible to complete a Mission Mode mission that involved getting Horuda to respond to a note in her locker. From now on, Horuda will respond to any note that involves bullying in Mission Mode.
• From now on, if a student’s "Crush" changes (such as when a rival survives their week and they no longer have a crush on Senpai) the text in their Student Info page will update to reflect this.
• Added several decorations to the front of the school exterior to make it look more fancy. If the fans approve, these kinds of decorations will be added to the rest of the school too.
• From now on, after a student has entered into a relationship, the "Student Info" screen will update to reflect the fact that they are now in a relationship with someone.
• When playing the maid cafe minigame in 1980s Mode, the protagonist’s sprite will now look like Ryoba instead of Ayano.
• Ayano’s smartphone background is now darker in Lovesick Mode and Mission Mode to suit the dark themes of those modes.
• Updated Efude’s hair model, which was supposed to have a little paintbrush sticking out of her hair.
• Updated the 5 female delinquent hair models for the first time since 2016.
• Updated the hair models of the 1980s Mode Drama Club.
• Updated the student council girls’ hair models.
• Updated Sakyu and Inkyu’s hair models.
• Updated Itachi’s hair model.
• Updated Uekiya’s hair model.

May 15th, 2022

• Previously, if the player matchmade two characters, they wouldn’t act like it; their routine at school would be identical to what it was like when they were not matchmade. From now on, the game will remember which characters the player has matchmade, and adjust their schedules accordingly. Couples will now spend their time at school cuddling together when they don’t have to be in class, and they will leave school early to spend more time with one another. (As of now, all couples hang out in a row in the same part of school…this looks really awkward, so I’ll probably move them elsewhere in the future.)
• I have adjusted the Journalist’s AI so that it should be impossible to murder a victim in the long walkway area leading up to the school gate without being caught by him. If you’re up for a challenge, try to prove me wrong — without the use of easter eggs or debug commands, of course! (The Journalist is supposed to prevent the player from committing any murders in the long walkway area outside of the school, so if you can successfully kill somebody there and get away with it, there are definitely some exploits that I need to be made aware of.)
• Some players requested the ability to dump Moeko’s body into the burning barrel after killing her with fire, so I’ve added this option to the game. It doesn’t count as a proper corpse disposal method; it’s a "just for fun" feature that was added entirely for the amusement of the people who asked for it.

The "Week Select" screen now has a 3D interface for selecting the week you want to start on. I was inspired by the creative and era-appropriate Chapter Select screen from "Sucker For Love"!

• Removed exploit that would make the player appear nearly invisible to characters in the Stalker House Mission or Asylum Stealth Mission while the player was running + crouching.
• The "Ryoba stabbing dead rival" artwork that displays during the loading screens at low atmosphere now depicts Ryoba stabbing Sumire instead of Raibaru.
• The Journalist and the Headmaster now have yellow outlines in Yandere Vision, since yellow is the color for "someone who is suspicious of you."
• Until now, characters ignored the sound of loud radios if they were studying in class or teaching a class. This is no longer the case.
• Updated the hair model for one of the 1980s Mode Student Council boys, since his previous hairstyle didn’t suit his personality.
• Reverted Student Council hair models back to how they previously were, since people liked the old ones better.
• A bucket of blood will now count as a "mysterious blood stain" during the police investigation sequence.
• It is now possible to disable the "Rival Slow-Motion Death Animation" feature from the Settings menu.
• The Journalist will now react to the sight of a mind-broken slave committing murder in front of him.
• Restored outlines to the 202X character portraits, since I feel like they look nicer with outlines.
• Characters will no longer notice dropped objects while changing their shoes, since it caused bugs.
• The Journalist’s position in the school will now be remembered properly when loading a save file.
• The Journalist will now run out of school and call the cops if he sees a corpse in front of him.
• Updated the appearance of the "Study Points" screen. (It’s basically been the same since 2014!)
• Updated the classroom props for the first time in several years.
• Updated Info-chan’s portrait to reflect her new hair model.
• Added custom textures to the bully girls’ smartphones.
• Added the ability to return a girl’s stolen ring to the spot that it was stolen from in the locker room.

May 24th, 2022

• If the player giggles while inside of a locker room / bathroom area, nobody will investigate, because they don’t want to be a creep who is peeking on someone in the locker room / bathroom. This is now conveyed in the text that appears when a notification pops up at the top of the screen to alert the player that a giggle has been ignored.
• When torturing a prisoner in your basement, the "you will reduce your prisoner’s sanity by __%" text in the description box will now update to reflect any bonus damage that you’re doing to your prisoner’s sanity as a result of upgrading the Psychology stat.
• Previously, any student with the "Snitch" persona would not respond positively to any kind of locker note. As of this update, they will now respond positively to any note about Bullying, Fighting Evil, or Suspicious Activity.
• From now on, dropping a weapon (or other pickup) nearby its original position will result in the object re-appearing in the spot where it originally came from, instead of being unceremoniously plopped onto the ground at your feet.
• Because Ayano’s phone background becomes darker in Mission Mode, some of the phone menu text has been made lighter so that it’s easier to read on a dark background.
• You can now rapidly scroll up/down the Task List or Tutorial List by holding up/down instead of rapidly tapping up/down to get where you wanted to be in the list.
• Students now have a subtitle for reacting to the sight of the player trespassing, instead of just saying "Hm…" when they witness trespassing.
• Students no longer react negatively to being splashed with water while they are wearing a swimsuit.
• The player can now apologize for trespassing (previously, the option simply did not exist.)
• Updated the "POOL’S CLOSED" artwork with new illustrations that were drawn by OMGAyano! (https://www.instagram.com/omgayano/?hl=en)
• Updated the "Frame" Idea to mention that you can get a girl’s fingerprints on a weapon by dropping an innocuous weapon like a screwdriver on the ground in her field of vision.
• Updated the "Befriend" and "Betray" Ideas to more accurately reflect the steps for Befriending/Betraying in 1980s Mode.
• Updated the "Poison" Idea to reflect the fact that there are multiple ways to put poison in a student’s food.
• Updated the "Kidnap" Idea to remove any reference to the "Headache Poison", since it is unavailable in 1989.
• Updated the "Burn" Idea to mention the option of a Bunsen burner instead of a candle from the Occult Club.
• Updated the "Expel" Idea to include the new method for stealing a ring from Himeko Dereguchi.
• Updated the "Electrocution" Idea to reflect the updated location of the pipe wrench.

June

June 1st, 2022

• The player is no longer able to send a stink bomb to the guidance counselor’s office or Info-chan’s room. (The guidance counselor is too professional to abandon her duties because of a bad smell, and Info-chan has hacked the ventilation system and made it impossible to send any gases into her room. She did this for a specific reason, but it will be one of the last things you ever learn about the game’s lore.)
• The player is no longer allowed to take off a swimsuit that was splattered with blood until they have showered and removed the blood on it, because the act of doing so could result in the player entering a state where they are "soft-locked" and trapped within the locker room, unable to exit because there is no clean clothing they can put on.
• Using the ventilation system to send a bad smell into the Headmaster’s office will cause him to leave school and not come back until after lunchtime has ended. (If you send a bad smell into his office after lunchtime, he’ll go home for the rest of the day.)
• From now on, when students are walking around the school and collecting trash bags to throw away, males will not enter female bathrooms to search for trash bags, and females will not enter male bathrooms to search for trash bags.
• The ventilation system is now accessed by using the B button instead of the A button, since using the A button could cause the player to accidentally throw a stink bomb instead of accessing the ventilation system.
• The player is now allowed to kill students while wearing a swimsuit even if there are no clean outfits at school to change into, since blood can always be cleaned off of a swimsuit without disposing of it.
• Updated the hair model of the foreign boy in the 1980s Mode student council to look less basic/generic and more like the "dreamy foreign boy" character he is supposed to represent.
• Tweaked the 1989 "Pool’s Closed" artwork to more accurately reflect the student council president’s hairstyle.
• Several male hair models have been replaced. If you don’t like them, you are welcome to model your own versions and show me screenshots. If I like your models better than the ones in the game, I’ll consider replacing the current models with your models.

June 15th, 2022

• Added chemistry crafting system to the chemistry lab. New chemicals unlock with each chemistry stat rank increase. Rank 1: Emetic Poison Rank 2: Headache Poison Rank 3: Sedative Poison Rank 4: Lethal Poison Rank 5: Smoke Bomb
• There is now a new item for sale in Info-chan’s Drops Menu — a smoke bomb. It renders you invisible for 5 seconds, allowing you to get away with anything — theft, murder, etc — as long as you’re inside of the smoud cloud.
• The Yakuza will no longer purchase any kidnapped girl from you. He will now ONLY purchase the 10 girls that are listed on his Kidnapping page. The other girls’ families are not rich enough to bother with.
• You can now sell multiple girls to the Yakuza simultaneously.
• Added permanent item destruction. The following items will be destroyed permanently if the player uses and destroys them: the katana in the Headmaster’s room, the ritual dagger in the Occult Clubroom, the prop weapons in the Drama Clubroom, the sharp electric guitar in the Light Music Club, and the traditional Japanese axe behind the shed in the Gardening Club, and the lethal poison in the chemistry lab.
• Added weeklong item destruction. Most club property (such as the box cutter in the art room and rat poison in the garden) will not respawn until Monday morning of the next week if the player uses and destroys it.
• It is now possible to bathe in an emergency shower while wearing a swimsuit, without the need for a school uniform. (More specifically, the player no longer has the ability to use an emergency shower to change into a school uniform if they are wearing a swimsuit when they use the shower.)
• The button to push a student off the school rooftop is no longer the same button as the button to talk to them. This should prevent the player from accidentally pushing a student to their death when they are merely trying to talk to that student.
• Updated the behavior of the Journalist to make it more difficult for the player to kill their rival before she has passed through the school gate. (It should be impossible now. But if you can still pull it off, e-mail me a video of it.)
• Two of Yandere-chan’s hair models were duplicates of each other, so they have been replaced with new hairstyles, and the "YandereHair" folder in the StreamingAssets folder has been updated with screenshots of all 208 of her hairstyles.
• Re-wrote the text for the "Expel from school" elimination method described in the 1980s Mode "Ideas" menu, since it had a reference to a feature that was never actually added to the game.
• Students now say a more appropriate line when reacting to the player holding a bloody weapon (instead of reacting to the weapon itself, they react to the fact that there is blood on it.)
• Moeko (the 2nd rival of 1980s Mode) will now leave the area if she sees you near the barrel where she lights a fire, because she doesn’t want anyone to witness her secret hobby.
• Added a "Distractions" tutorial to the tutorial menu. Hopefully, it will help new players. (With that said, a playable tutorial would probably be much more helpful…)
• The delinquents will no longer make snide remarks towards you when you’re in their vicinity if you have befriended at least one of them.
• It is now possible to wash a bloody weapon at a water basin (the large sinks found in bathrooms) in addition to drinking fountains.
• Updated the icon for "Chat Interaction" in the Pause Screen menu (for both 202X Mode and 1980s Mode).
• Updated the appearance of the 1989 headmaster in the Memorial scene and End-of-Day sequence.
• Updated the texture for the floor and walls of the Newspaper Club. It looks much better now!
• There is now an option in the Settings menu to turn off Subtitles completely.
• Updated a few of the male students’ hair textures.

June 17th, 2022

• A murder victim can no longer be a witness to their own death. (Attacking someone from the front will no longer cause the "murder witnessed" effect, or cause the number of murder witnesses to increase by one. This may come in handy for Mission Mode.)
• Adjusted Journalist behavior so that it’s not so easy to trick him into leaving the area that he is supposed to be guarding.
• Updated the "Kaobook" page within the game to refer to Akademi as an "academy" and not as a high school.
• Updated the artwork for the "Cherry Touch" manga that Ayano can purchase.

June 18th, 2022

• Any student with the "Spiteful" Persona will no longer call the cops on the player or testify to the police about murder, after witnessing the murder of a student that they were being bullied by.
• Removed exploit that would allow the player to avoid being kicked out of a club at the end of Friday by simply skipping Friday on the Calendar screen.
• Removed text that referred to Akademi as a "high school" and replaced this text with the word "academy" instead.

June 20th, 2022

• It’s no longer possible to spill a bucket of water in the dirt area of the gardening club, or on stairways. (It could result in puddles floating in midair).
• Chigusa will no longer agree to go talk to her suitor at the matchmaking spot if she is wearing a bikini. It was too weird (and caused bugs).
• Adjusted the tables/chairs in the 1980s Light Music Clubroom so that student pathfinding will no longer break around those objects.
• Since Raibaru can’t be poisoned on Tuesday, Info-chan’s "Poison Raibaru" Scheme is now disabled on Tuesday.
• Removed the "Debug Load" feature from the Load screen, since it lost its functionality.

July

July 2nd, 2022

• In extremely high-level Mission Mode missions (with very low school atmosphere) that involve poisoning a target, it was nearly impossible to poison any student at lunchtime because of the surrounding witnesses having an increased range of vision. To make these missions more feasible, there are now cardboard boxes in the hallways that provide the player with cover to hide behind while performing the poisoning animation. (I’m considering the possibility that the player should have to move these cardboard boxes into place, perhaps by carrying them and stacking them manually, but I’m not sure yet.)
• From now on, when talking to a club leader about their club, you will hear background music play that matches the atmosphere of their club. Spooky music for the Occult Club, traditional Japanese instruments for the Martial Arts club, dark hip hop for the delinquents, etc. (The Photography Club’s music becomes darker when its members switch to the "Sleuth" Persona, and the Light Music Club’s theme is different between 202X and 1989.)
• Delinquents who know that you’re a murderer will no longer continue to chase and attack you even after they have been defeated in a fight; they will now give up and run out of school after a single defeat. This is to prevent situations where a group of 3 delinquents is perpetually chasing you around, attacking you every 10 seconds or so.
• The "Stab Raibaru in the back with a weapon while she is fighting with a mind-broken slave to make her lose the fight" feature will now only work if the player is holding a small stabbing weapon such as a kitchen knife (it no longer works with blunt weapons such as baseball bats).
• Walking around with a garbage bag box is now considered suspicious outside of Cleaning Time. (This is only one way that I plan to nerf garbage bags. More nerfs are coming in the near future to balance this overpowered feature.)
• Gave Moeko a unique "light paper on fire and drop it in barrel" animation instead of using a previously-existing animation that was a rough approximation of the action she was supposed to be performing.
• Sped up Dracula-chan’s animations so that the Yanvania Dracula fight goes by faster, and also expanded her hitbox to her entire body since nobody seemed to realize that her weak point was her head.
• It is now possible to scroll up/down Info-chan’s Schemes, Services, and Drops menus by holding up/down instead of tapping up/down dozens of times until you reach the selection you’re searching for.
• Changed the 3D models that pop up when you craft a Chemistry item, since the player wouldn’t logically be receiving the crafted chemical in a plastic bottle with proper labeling on it.
• Added a "Skip" button to the "Ryoba talks while Jokichi is tied to a chair" cutscene at the end of 1980s Mode, so that players can skip the cutscene if they wish to.
• The crafting screen now has a little "hint" window at the bottom-right corner to help new players understand where to look for crafting materials/chemicals.
• Ryoba’s "Cooking Club Accessory" model in 1980s Mode now confirms to the shape of her hair, instead of being shaped for Ayano’s ponytail.
• Adjusted the size/shape of Ryoba’s smile at the end of the courtroom sequence, because it looked different than intended.
• Students will no longer agree to go check their locker for a note if they are currently wearing a swimsuit.
• A student will no longer agree to "Distract" or "Follow Me" or "Go Away" if they are wearing a swimsuit.
• Suitors will no longer stalk the girl they have a crush on if their crush is currently in the bathroom.
• It is now possible to report a corpse to teachers even if class is in session.
• Updated the model and texture for Kyoshi (the tan blonde gym teacher of Ayano’s time period).

July 15th, 2022

• Previously, characters would recognize a mop as a "bloody mop" if it had touched a blood puddle for even one frame. From now on, a mop needs to be at least 50 % bloody for a character to recognize it as a "bloody mop" and thus potential evidence of a crime.
• During the "If I can’t have you…no one can" segment of SNAP Mode, Senpai leaned forward towards Ayano, which looked really weird. I asked an animator to adjust this animation so that Senpai doesn’t lean forward anymore. I’m much more pleased with the animation now.
• The text "Take off your clothes at your locker!" will now appear when a player tries to take a shower in the shower building without taking off their clothing first. (New players have difficulty figuring this out.)
• It is now possible to buy an infinite number of emetic poison bottles from Info-chan in Mission Mode, so that the player can complete a Multi-Target mission that involves killing 10 people with poison.
• There is now a "Skip" button for advancing quickly through the "Osana confesses to Senpai" cutscene in 202X.
• Slightly adjusted the 1980s Mode rivals’ likes and dislikes.
• Updated all of the models in Ayano’s room. It’s the same color scheme, so it might look mostly the same, but I assure you, everything is different now. There are also new little details — for example, at night time, the curtains of the room are no longer open.
• The railing on Akademi’s rooftop is now white-and-gold to match the white-and-gold aesthetic of the game.
• Updated Info-chan’s phone icon to more closely represent the hairstyle she uses in her new portrait.
• All of the 1980s Mode rivals now have faces that more closely match their official artwork.
• Replaced all of the models and textures in the Occult Club’s clubroom.
• Replaced all of the cover artwork for the "Life Note" manga books.
• Slightly adjusted the 1980s Mode rivals’ likes and dislikes.
• Updated the models for the gate at Akademi’s entrance.
• Updated the models for the changing booths.

August

August 1st, 2022

• In the original release of 1980s Mode, it was possible to earn a maximum of $55,000 by selling hostages to the Yakuza. Because it was so easy to make money, I decided to update the game so that the Yakuza’s prices got more expensive with each passing week. In another update, I lowered the total amount of money that the player could obtain from the Yakuza…but I didn’t adjust his prices accordingly. To correct this, I have adjusted the rate of "Yakuza Price Inflation" so that it should now be possible to do a "Yakuza-Only Playthrough" using just the money earned from selling hostages to the Yakuza.
• While developing the Light Music Club’s rhythm minigame, I needed a way to get a game over fast so I could quickly test the Game Over feature, so I added a debug command: Pressing the spacebar would instantly fail the minigame. However, when I released this feature, I forgot to take out the debug command, and it actually remained in the game. I’ve removed that command in this update, since it was never intended to be present after I finished testing the feature.
• A highly-requested feature is now in the game; it is now possible to "One-Button Equip" an item from the bookbag using the same method as retrieving a weapon from the weapon bag. While Yandere Vision is enabled, you can now press one button to instantly conceal or retrieve an item in the bookbag, without having to remove the bookbag first.
• I learned that, when a new player experiences the stalker house stealth mission for the first time, they don’t really understand what to do. To provide some direction, instructions now appear at the top of the screen to remind the player of their current objective and what they should be trying to do.
• From now on, any student who is splashed with liquid at cleaning time — who was planning on going swimming immediately after cleaning time — will just change into their swimsuit instead of their gym clothes, since they were planning to change into a swimsuit, anyway.
• New players usually don’t understand that it’s possible to allocate study points by tapping left/right at the "studying in class" screen, so from now on, a warning window will pop up whenever the player tries to leave that screen without allocating any points.
• A lot of people were complaining about problems with Ryoba’s hair physics in her home, in the street, and in the asylum. I didn’t personally observe these problems, but I’ve made adjustments to her physics settings to potentially fix the problem for others.
• The player must now wait 4 seconds between uses of the "study in library to pass time" feature. It’s necessary, in order to avoid creating bugs in events that depend on a certain amount of time passing.
• The "Speedrun Timer" (that appears when pressing the "Delete" key on your keyboard) will no longer freeze when the game is paused or go super fast when the player is using the speed-up-time feature.
• It should no longer be possible for the corpse of a student to clip through a wall if you perform the running animation into/next to a wall or a corner and then release their corpse.
• Raibaru will now ignore weapons dropped on the ground in situations here she very obviously should be noticing other, more significant things nearby (such as Osana’s corpse).
• Removed exploit that would allow the player to use the Student Info menu in unintended ways by pressing a directional button and the "Confirm" button simultaneously.
• Bully girls now sit on a bench and eat lunch at lunchtime during Mission Mode, so that it’s possible to complete a Mission Mode mission about poisoning the bullies.
• The camera now follows the protagonist during a "Push victim off rooftop" animation, instead of staying far away from the protagonist throughout the animation.
• Chigusa will now sit in a different location at lunchtime, because her previous sitting location could cause her to clip into one of the male students.
• It is now possible to use Yandere Vision during the stalker house stealth mission, and see red outlines of the house’s family members through walls.
• Doubled the speed of the animation that Osana performs when she psyches herself up to give a bento to Senpai, since the old one was way too slow.
• The car battery now has a cyan outline around it in Yandere Vision, since all objects with utility are supposed to be cyan in Yandere Vision.
• It is now possible to lockpick your way into a clubroom after the club has been shut down and the doors have been locked.
• The "Sakyu Basu will take off her ring" event in the Schedule screen has been removed, since that event no longer occurs.
• Restored the missing "closing shower curtain" animation that was supposed to play when a female student took a shower.
• Made adjustments that might improve the framerate when looking towards the school at the beginning of the school day.
• Sumire now wears white socks in the tutorial, since that’s what she’s wearing in her official character artwork.
• The "Entering SNAP Mode" sequence is now 1 second shorter, because it was just too long before.
• SNAP Mode now incorporates depth-of-field effects (it didn’t before.)

• In the last build, I adjusted the bullies’ routine in Mission Mode so that they would eat lunch instead of sunbathing at lunchtime. This is because I completely forgot that it was already possible for the player to change the bullies’ routine by using the "Pool’s Closed" sign to stop them from visiting the pool. I’ve changed it back to the way it was before.
• Added missing words / removed extra words from the text that appears onscreen during the "monologue describing next rival" segments of 1980s Mode.
• Removed exploit that allowed the player to kill Ui Tunesu during the tutorial buy crafting a knife at the workbench.

• During Osana’s week, on Friday, the Art Club paints the cherry tree where Osana confesses to Senpai. This is so that there are witnesses nearby Osana while she’s waiting under the tree for Senpai, so that it’s not too easy for the player to simply run up and murder Osana there with no consequences. However, there were several oversights: The female members of the Art Club were not present, the characters’ cones of vision were not large enough to actually see Osana being murdered, and the characters’ vision was blocked by the canvases they were painting on. All of these oversights have been resolved, so that now the Art Club actually reacts and takes action if they witness murder under the cherry tree on Friday.
• If a student was running to report something suspicious to a teacher — a weapon, a blood pool, a bloody weapon, etc — that student would completely ignore the presence of any corpses while on their way to report the suspicious object, even if they were running through a corridor completely filled with dead bodies. From now on, any student who is running to report something to a teacher will still be able to notice corpses, and will change their priority from "report suspicious object" to "report corpse."
• If a student takes an incriminating photo of the player with their phone, and then the player kills that student, the student will drop their phone. This dropped phone can be found by police, who will find the incriminating photo and arrest the player. This outcome can be avoided by crushing the dropped phone under your foot. However, there was a bug that would cause the dropped phone to turn invisible if the player concealed the victim inside of a garbage bag. This bug has been fixed.
• A Teacher’s Pet reacts to murder by reporting it to a teacher — but if someone else is already reporting the murder, the Pet runs and hides in their classroom, instead. However, if a Teacher’s Pet witnesses murder INSIDE of their classroom WHILE they are hiding inside of it, they should no longer consider their classroom to be a safe hiding place. So, from now on, Teacher’s Pets will run out of school if they witness murder while they are hiding in a classroom.
• When the player was caught misbehaving by the student council and sent to the counselor, the game would check for the presence of corpses on school grounds, but would not check for bloody weapons on school grounds, or even for bloody weapons in the player’s inventory. This oversight has been fixed; the game now checks for the presence of those things when sending the player to the counselor.
• The player will now lose sanity while dropping a heavy weight onto someone’s head from above, pushing a sleeping student into the pool, crushing someone with a bookcase, setting someone on fire with a candle/bunsen burner while they are doused with gasoline, electrocuting someone with a thrown car battery, or putting lethal poison into someone’s food.
• From now on, if a student is hiding in their classroom because they suspect a murderer is at school, they will react negatively when they see the protagonist wearing a raincoat; they’ll immediately jump to the conclusion that the protagonist is planning a murder and is be wearing a raincoat to avoid getting bloody.
• If the player killed Osana and framed someone else for the crime, the game would incorrectly log her manner of death, so in the "Senpai meets Amai" cutscene, the game would freeze one it gets to the part of the cutscene where Senpai is supposed to explain what happened to Osana. This bug has been fixed.
• If a student witnesses the player poisoning their bento at lunchtime, that student will refuse to eat their bento. However, if Osana witnessed Ayano poisoning her bento or Senpai’s bento on Monday morning, she would proceed forward with the bento event anyway. This oversight has been corrected.
• Students now think that it’s weird and annoying if the player repeatedly turns on a loud radio playing obnoxious music. They’ll tolerate it the first time, but if they witness the player doing it more than once, they’ll get annoyed and your reputation will be damaged.
• From now on, any student at school who does not have a crush on another student will have "None" in their student profile, and if they do have a crush on another student, it will say "Unknown" in their student profile (until the player uncovers who it is).
• If the player joined the delinquents, then got the delinquents expelled from school, the player would lose the ability to quit the delinquent gang, and would be stuck in the gang, unable to ever join any other club. This bug has been fixed.
• One of the buttons that is visible at the bottom of the screen in Yandere Vision was greyed out, making it seem as though the button had no functionality, even though the button was indeed functional. This oversight has been fixed.
• Osana’s "talk with Musume in the plaza on Friday morning" event will no longer occur if Osana is busy looking for her lost phone; she would be too preoccupied with her missing phone to care what Musume wanted to talk about.
• From now on, if a student is pushed from the rooftop, nearby students will react to the noise that is caused by the student striking the ground or landing in the dumpster, and will walk over to investigate what they heard.
• From now on, if the player brings a screwdriver from home to school, the "Sabotage a vending machine with a screwdriver" Scheme will skip from Step 1 to Step 2 (no need to find a screwdriver; the player already has one).
• Students will now find it annoying if you keep giggling in their presence. Giggling more than 5 times while nearby a student will now cause them to react negatively and damage your reputation.
• Added "Ichirou Saikou graduates from Akademi" to the timeline at the end of the True Ending, since a lot of people presumed that he didn’t graduate because that text wasn’t in the timeline.
• When using the "teleport to music clubroom" debug command in 1980s Mode, the weapons that spawn inside the music clubroom will no longer clip inside of the tables inside of that room.
• Removed exploit that made it possible to escape the Journalist by laughing if the Journalist became aware of Ryoba’s murderous actions while Ryoba was laughing.
• Rivals will no longer agree to follow you at lunchtime, since it’s way too easy to kill a rival by just waiting until lunchtime and asking her to follow you.
• From now on, if you shove a student from the rooftop, nearby students on the rooftop will hear the scream and walk over to investigate.
• If a student council member spotted the player misbehaving while guarding a corpse, the game would softlock. This bug has been fixed.
• The current week is now displayed at the top-right corner of the screen, in addition to the current time, weekday, and phase of day.
• Students who are set on fire while standing in front of a wall should no longer clip through the wall during their death animation.
• It is now possible to use Pose Mode to make a girl wear the loose socks of Raibaru and the stockings of Dafuni, Inkyu, or Sakyu.
• Kidnapping a student will now lower school atmosphere by 90 %, because students should be worried if somebody suddenly vanishes.
• An adjustment has been made that may reduce the loading times when returning from school to the protagonist’s home.
• Adjusted the color of the pause screens in Mission Mode so that the text should be more legible now.
• Increased the volume of some of Osana’s voice lines, since they were too quiet.
• Updated the appearance of the "Nozama" shopping screen.
• Updated Yui Rio’s hair model.

• After eliminating Osana, the game will display a message the next time the player enters the Calendar screen; a message that basically says, "Now that you’ve defeated your rival, you have the choice of continuing to attend school or just skipping directly to the next week." However, this message didn’t display in 1980s Mode. I’ve updated the Calendar screen so that this message appears in 1980s Mode, too, so that new players who are playing Yandere Sim for the first time don’t get confused about what they’re supposed to be doing after they’ve eliminated their first rival.
• At high school atmosphere, the scream of a student being pushed off the school rooftop was not reaching Kokona and Saki, who were standing very close to the place where the student screamed. The scream was only reaching them at low school atmosphere (where students react to screams from further distances because they’re actively listening for screams). I’ve decided to increase the "size" of a scream that emanates from a student being pushed from the rooftop so that Kokona and Saki will actually react to it even at high school atmosphere.
• The "Fire Student Council Member" service is only available in Mission Mode. It is greyed out in the normal gameplay mode, which was supposed to indicate to the player that this feature is inaccessible outside of Mission Mode — but many players were still trying to access it, believing that it would become available if some kind of criteria was met. To prevent this misunderstanding from taking place, the "Fire Student Council Member" service will no longer even appear on the list in normal gameplay mode.
• Corrected an oversight in the 9th Rival’s week. If School Atmosphere is so low that the Photography Clubmembers have transformed into "Sleuths", or if the entire Photography Club is dead, then the club wouldn’t be willing/able to participate in the 9th Rival’s photo shoot at the school pool. So, from now on, under those circumstances, the 9th Rival will no longer perform a photo shoot at the school pool, and instead will walk around school.
• When the player defeats a student or a teacher in the struggle minigame, the player tosses their corpse to the side. This would sometimes result in a character’s corpse clipping into a nearby wall, causing their ragdoll physics to freak out. From now on, chacters will move/rotate away from nearby walls after losing the Struggle Minigame, preventing the clipping or janky ragdolling from happening anymore.
• Removed exploit that allowed the player to sneak metal weapons past metal detectors by putting them into a bag. (I do think there should be a way to sneak metal weapons past metal detectors, but I think that the player should have to do little bit of extra work to modify a container so that it fools metal detectors. I’ll implement the feature in a future update.)
• From now on, when selecting the "Gossip" option from the student interaction wheel, the Student Info Menu will open on the last student that the player gossiped about, instead of resetting to the first student every time. This should make it easier to gossip about one student repeatedly, without having to manually re-select that student every time the menu is opened.
• Previously, the player was disallowed from pushing Ritsuko (the 5th rival of 1980s Mode) into the school pool if any students were present nearby. From now on, it is possible to do so if witnesses are present, but any witnesses see you kill her, they will immediately identify you as a murderer.
• If a teacher or student council member is guarding a corpse, they will no longer care if the player is trespassing nearby, since guarding a corpse / looking for a killer is more important than shouting at a student for trespassing.
• If the player was sent to the counselor in 1989 for taking lewd photographs, the counselor would describe the player as taking pictures with a "phone". This was historically inaccurate, so the line has been changed for 1980s Mode.
• It is no longer possible for the player to collide with the weapon bag or the cello case, since the player could exploit those objects to build "staircases" that allowed the player to reach places they shouldn’t be able to reach.
• Once again, made adjustments to the "dump corpse into manhole" script in an attempt to eliminate the "corpse floats upwards after hitting the water" or "corpse floats just above the water" scenarios.
• Time will now freeze when the "Practice with Clubmembers" window is onscreen, to remove exploits that were only possible by letting large amounts of time pass while that window remained onscreen.
• A student will no longer react to stink bombs if they are dealing with something much more important — being soaking wet, reacting to consuming any type of poison, vomiting, or swimming.
• The "Provide Rival’s Dark Secrets" service can only be purchased once per week, but the text description implied that it could only be purchased once, ever. This text has been re-worded.
• Updated the mask that appears on Ayano’s face after she joins the delinquents to match the "Delinquent Ayano" artwork that was added to the Characters page of the official website.
• After joining the delinquents Ayano will now obtain ear piercings so that her in-game appearance matches her de
