00:04In most stealth games, enemies only have one type of reaction to the player, taking out
00:11a weapon and trying to kill you.
00:13But in Yandere Simulator, the player is surrounded by high school students, not soldiers or bodyguards.
00:20So how does a high school student react to witnessing a murder at school?
00:25The answer is that it's different from student to student, and depends entirely on their
00:31personality.
00:32In Yandere Simulator, each character has been assigned a personality type, called a Persona,
00:38which dictates how they react to murder and corpses.
00:42I was originally planning to only have 5 or 6 different Personas in the game, but over
00:48the past few years, I've implemented about 13 different Personas.
00:53And as of today, I've added two more.
00:56These new Personas will present a tremendous threat to the player.
01:00And that's what today's video is all about.
01:04In 2016, I described my idea for the game's Photography Club.
01:09The idea was that the club would be populated by friendly, carefree students, who don't
01:15actually have any real interest in photography, and just use the club for goofing around.
01:20But if students start disappearing or dying on school grounds, it would impact the atmosphere
01:27of the school.
01:28And these carefree students would turn into junior detectives, who would attempt to track
01:34down the culprit.
01:35I called this the Sleuth Persona.
01:39As of now, the Photography Club and the Sleuth Persona are finally in the game.
01:45The Sleuth Persona functions much differently than every other Persona.
01:50It's the only Persona that changes based on school atmosphere, which is a number that
01:55is affected by the player's actions.
01:58For example, the discovery of a student's corpse at school is minus 10% school atmosphere.
02:04But a student mysteriously going missing is only minus 5% school atmosphere.
02:10When school atmosphere is over 90%, the members of the Photography Club are happy and carefree,
02:17so their animations look relaxed.
02:20Below 90%, they feel worried about recent events at school, so their animations look a bit paranoid.
02:27Below 80%, they will start actively looking for danger, and their animations will change
02:33to reflect this.
02:34When school atmosphere is over 90%, they will react to the player's camera with a friendly
02:40pose.
02:41Below 90%, they react to the player's camera with suspicion.
02:46When school atmosphere is over 80%, they will use their clubroom for chatting and goofing
02:51around.
02:52Below 80%, they use their clubroom as an investigation headquarters.
02:57They build a fake crime scene to put themselves into the right mindset for hunting down a criminal.
03:01They put photographs of potential suspects on a cork board.
03:05And have serious discussions instead of goofing around like they normally do.
03:10When school atmosphere is over 80%, the Photography Club's leader has casual, carefree dialogue
03:16when you're talking to him about joining his club.
03:20Oh, hey, welcome to our little getaway.
03:23Look, I'll be honest, we don't actually do any photography here.
03:27We just eat snacks, read manga, and goof around.
03:30If you're okay with that, you're totally welcome to join the club and hang out with us.
03:33But if you're like, actually looking for a real club about photography, this isn't actually
03:38the right place.
03:39I'm sorry.
03:41Oh, hey, you want to join us?
03:43That's cool.
03:44The more the merrier.
03:46Sweet.
03:46Help yourself with some snacks if you'd like.
03:51Below 80%, his dialogue will change and get more serious.
03:56Hey, do you need something?
03:58Some seriously bad stuff has been happening lately.
04:00We can't just pretend like everything is fine.
04:02We need to get to the bottom of this.
04:04Everyone in the school deserves to be safe and happy.
04:06We won't let anyone turn our school into a dangerous, scary place.
04:10We're going to patrol the school and look for the person who's responsible for everything
04:13that's been going on recently.
04:15Are you interested in helping us find the perpetrator?
04:18That's great.
04:19You're a part of the investigation team now.
04:22Let's work hard to keep this school safe.
04:26When school atmosphere is over 80%, they will spend all of their spare time in their club
04:32room, just chatting about nothing in particular.
04:34Under 80%, their entire routine changes.
04:39They will briefly meet in their club room at the beginning of the day to discuss their
04:43investigation plans and discuss potential suspects.
04:47And then they will spend the rest of their time hunting for the culprit who has been causing
04:51problems at school.
04:53Around 5pm, they will reconvene at the club to discuss what they've learned.
04:58They will hunt for the culprit by visiting each student in school individually and checking
05:04each student one by one to look for danger or suspicious behavior.
05:09During this process, they will also visit the player to observe what you are doing.
05:15This is what makes them a threat.
05:17Because they check on everyone at school, including you, they could walk in on you while you're
05:24trying to get away with murder.
05:27The advantage of joining the photography club is that if you're a part of their investigation
05:32team, they won't consider the possibility that you might be the killer they're looking
05:37for.
05:47If the photography club is shut down, they won't stop their investigation.
05:52Even if they no longer have a club room, they will still walk around the school checking
05:57on each student individually, as long as school atmosphere is under 80%.
06:02When school atmosphere is over 80%, they will react to a murder with the social butterfly reaction.
06:10They will run to a place that they think will be populated by other students and call the
06:14cops.
06:15But under 80%, they will react to a murder with the phone addict reaction.
06:21They will snap a photo of you and run away while texting that photo to the police.
06:27If a member of the photography club sees you attack any other member of their club, they
06:32will use the hero reaction and attempt to apprehend you.
06:36This happens regardless of school atmosphere level.
06:40The club leader is unique, because he uses the hero reaction instead of the social butterfly
06:46reaction if he sees you commit murder while school atmosphere is over 80%.
06:52He is the only member of the club who does this.
06:56As I mentioned, another new persona was added to the game today.
07:00This one is an extension of the sleuth persona.
07:03You could consider it to be a more extreme version of the sleuth persona.
07:09I call it the stalker persona.
07:14If a student witnesses you commit murder and calls the cops, but the police can't find enough
07:18evidence to arrest you, that student will develop a grudge against you and will cause damage
07:24to your reputation on every subsequent day.
07:27But if a member of the photography club reports you for murder and you get away with it, they
07:33won't stop with just holding a grudge.
07:36That club member will tell all of their friends what they saw.
07:39And that's where things get interesting.
07:42Normally, the photography club would check every student at school in an attempt to find
07:48the killer.
07:49But if they already know the identity of the killer, they only have to investigate one student.
07:56You.
07:57In other words, if a single member of the photography club knows that you've gotten away with murder,
08:03the entire club will dedicate themselves to following you around school at all times.
08:09So they can try to snap a photo of you doing something incriminating.
08:13If you approach them, they will run a safe distance away from you.
08:17If you try to outrun them, they will always track you down.
08:20The one time when they won't stalk you is during class time and cleaning time.
08:27It's possible that in the future, I might decide to let other students switch from their
08:32normal persona to the stalker persona.
08:36For example, if you increase your reputation at school, make a lot of friends, and increase
08:41your seduction stat, you will become very popular.
08:45Some of the other students at school might develop crushes on you and start following you
08:50around.
08:51Or if a student sees you murder their best friend or sibling and they report you to the
08:55police but the police can't connect you to the crime and arrest you, that student might
09:00start stalking you in the same way that the photography club would stalk you, after learning
09:05your true nature.
09:07The student council, the bullies, the delinquents, and the photography club each took a lot of work
09:13in order to be added to the game, because they all required new features in order to function
09:18as I imagined them.
09:20The remaining clubs do not have elaborate new features associated with them, so in the future,
09:26it should take me much less time to add new characters to the game.
09:31Now that the photography club is finished, the next club I want to work on is the science club,
09:37since I've been looking forward to them for a very long time.
09:41putting them into the game will probably be my next objective.
09:46That will conclude today's video.
09:48Thank you for following the development of Yandere Simulator.
09:59Oh, by the way, are you interested in covering up your naked body?
10:04You might want to check out the two new Yandere Simulator shirts available in the Crowdmade store.
10:10I'm super happy with how this artwork turned out, and I hope you like it too.
