Around 5:30 into the video, I discuss something that I believe will be very relevant to Patrons: I'm currently at a phase in the game's development where everything I'm working on is a spoiler, a secret, or a surprise, so it's not possible for me to upload progress reports showcasing my latest accomplishments. This is incredibly worrisome to me, because I think it's very important for me to be able to demonstrate tangible progress to my Patrons. I still intend to regularly upload videos, but I will most likely be uploading videos that are related to Yandere Sim, rather than showing off my most recent work.

I've considered the idea of uploading Patron-only screenshots / short video clips demonstrating recent Osana / Raibaru progress, so that you can rest assured that I'm still developing the game, even when months pass without a traditional "progress report" video. However, I'm a little worried about this material getting leaked outside of Patreon, and surprises being spoiled.

Please let me know what you think; is this an issue that could potentially affect your support, or do you think it's not something I should be fussing and worrying about?

Thanks for your support and your input!

WORKING AS A MAID? THIS MAN IS A GENIUS

"Please let me know what you think" about the progress reports. I would prefer no spoilers. A post once a while "I am working on the game. Here's a nice fan-art pic. I am 40% done with Osana, I expect to need 2-3 weeks till I clear 20% more of what needs to be done with her!" is MORE than fine. While I am a bit "late" to the party, being a patreon for less than a year, there are people here that have been suppording Yandere Simulator for several years. They will understand.

Money - minigames: With all due respect to the developer of the minigame, I don't like it too much; it seems like a chore. On the other hand, I would like if stealing money was the only other alternative. So, may I suggest there is a choice of "auto!" in the minigame? I.e. earning money just by a click instead of sitting through a whole minigame that some players may not find enjoyable? If Auto gives say... 70% of the money that easy mode gives, I would be happy.

I enjoy every update you have added but this one is most certainly a new feature I will enjoy. Updated my subscription due to this cool new feature. It's extremely satisfying to see more progress reports and updates. Keep up the good work yanderedev.

I would love spoilers as I'm super curious but i agree that it will definitely be leaked outside of patron... So i think it makes sense to keep some things for yourself :P

YandereDev

The minigame lasts a minimum of 60 seconds and a maximum of 90 seconds, so hopefully it's not something that will ever be too tedious or annoying to a player. With that said, I understand if there are players who just don't like it and don't want to play it. For those players, I'd like to provide an alternate way for the player to make money. Maybe the player could receive $20 from Info-chan in exchange for a panty shot...

I would prefer no spoilers, because I think the game will be a lot more enjoyable without them. While I enjoy your videos, I don‘t need them to stay subscribed. I just want a healthy and happy dev. So in the end it‘s your decision and I‘m going to support you either way. (Just let me know you‘re alive once a month.)

I personally don't mind one way or the other about spoilers. I do think it would be wise to not post anything that would give away too much, though. It would be too easy for someone to leak something, especially if it's something major.

I'm going to be a Patron regardless of spoiler updates or genergic ones. I have full faith that you're going to be working and I'm excited for the game in general. I don't need spoiler screenshots to keep me that way. Personally, I think if you do post spoilers here, they will get out. Someone in the mix will throw it out to the world and the only thing you can control is if you post it to begin with. Up to you, but you have my support either way!

Hi, really sorry for the pettiness but waitresses (and maids) in Japan never get tips - in Japan service is always included. Just saying.

I'm sure some of them get "tips" ;D (I'm so sorry, I couldn't resist)

I personally trust that the game is still being worked on, even without direct "proof"

Stormy Weather

I would rather have some surprises in the game, and I won't mind if you can't make detailed progress reports. I would love to see some of the related videos, and if you're wanting to let us know that things are still moving along, you can just say that theres been some progress in certain areas, or even just let us know when a new update to the alpha is planned to be released. Even without that, I think at this point It's not going to be a problem.

I would prefer no spoilers, but I'd like to know how long will take this phase with no progress reports in order to avoid these spoilers. I like the minigame and the online shopping, good work!

YandereDev

It's difficult to know for certain, but I feel confident that Osana will be 100% complete by January (as long as nothing serious goes wrong between now and then).

Soufrière

I sympathize with the situation you find yourself in, and I think you're right to worry about Patron-only content getting leaked. I mean, *I* won't, but you can't police everyone. I'm not one of those who gets super upset about spoilers. I've told my readers that I find the journey itself to be more important, but I also hold back in deference to spoiler-averse people. Anyway, I've vowed to support your game to the end, so do whatever you feel is right, though it would be nice to not be kept totally in the dark.

Wow, what a great idea. Definitely adds an interesting aspect tot he game. A mini performance would be nice too. Coudl even use the guitar hero like mechanics you mentioned before for the music club.
