Hello there!

Welcome back to another devlog of Yandere Simulator: Mission Mode - The Visual Novel! This time, I have some special news for everyone...

Take a look at all the planned changes from the demo to the final version of Yandere Simulator: Mission Mode - The Visual Novel!

I wanna thank everyone who has played the game, shared it and/or gave it a feedback!

CHANGELOG

- All background images in the Prologue are going to be updated to a higher-quality version, that is, they’ll be screenshots of the game with better illumination, textures, shadows, ambient occlusion, resolution and such. The ones currently in the demo mostly do not have those;

- As some players criticized the resolution and black borders of the “love and hearts” video that plays in the beginning of the story, it is going to be removed and changed for a background image;

- The font for the character’s names is going to be changed, but it is yet undetermined what will the new font be;

- The sound effects and music will have their volumes decreased to be more balanced and less loud;

- Many players have spoken negatively about the lack of choices and too much focus on reading. I’ll be adding more dialogue options to Chapter One: Emotionless Memories and to future chapters to avoid that;

- Still on the previous topic, I’ll be shorting up the dialogue and narration in any part I can in Prologue and Chapter One, along with future chapters;

- Although the game’s story has been constantly praised for its updated narrative, creativity and effort, some criticized a plot point related to Megami Saikou’s backstory in the end of the Prologue, as they called it “too unrealistic”. Her general backstory won’t be changed, but an important part of it is going to be. That’ll unfortunately add more narration to it, but don’t worry! I’ll add in some more dialogue choices to make it more refreshing;

- Along with that, the scene where Ayano uses the incinerator in the Prologue will be slightly changed;

- Grammatical mistakes and typos will be removed with the help of third-party softwares for proofreading;

- The main menu music is going to be changed along with part of its interface;

- This isn’t fully determined as of now, but it is possible that all the dialogue about “bullying” that plays out in the beginning of each route will only appear if it’s your first time on a certain route. For example, if you have failed the Scissors Route (where you read the dialogue about it) and you go for the Gardening or Knife Route, the narration and/or Ayano’s thoughts about bullying won’t appear;

- The dialogue about the “delinquents” in the Gardening Route in the Prologue will be removed and will be added to another part of the story with a lot more context and relevancy;
