It's wholesome to see Kokona is teaching Ayano and Player how to play the game. She was a test rival so of course Kokona is the only one can teach how to play.
That’s a very realistic rehearsal, like they have fake blood, removable limbs, real life VFX and so much. You could almost think they are actually dying and not doing a play
If Kokona didn't have an important role in the final game, longtime fans would riot She earned her popularity with players/fans in her many years as a test dummy!
I can't think of a better way to implement a tutorial for this game. I remember hearing you talk about doing something like this in the past, and I'm glad you went through with it. I'm going to miss Kokona quite a bit to be honest (as a rival), she's so iconic!
Kokona will always be the best rival in my book, simply because she's been there since the very beginning, even though, she's not an "official rival", she'll always be the true first rival
@@stevewalker9870 actually, she wasn't the first rival. if i remember correctly, mei mio (blue haired social butterfly in 1989 that used to be in the 202X mode) was the first rival. i could be wrong tho
@@yandereemi12 Her page on the Yansim wiki has no mention of her ever being a rival, and I've never herd of her being one, so I think you may be remembering incorrectly
I LOVE just the small little detail of Ayano getting scared when Kokona surprises her from behind. You could tell Ayano was annoyed that Kokona interrupted her day dreaming of senpai. Best of all though, it made Ayano feel real and that the characters are alive. It’s the little details like this that make the game come to life
This is just the perfect tutorial for YanSim, a mix of cute and disturbing! Hearing Kokona put so much Joy into murderous lines is weird, but a good weird.
I feel like it would be cool if this play was briefly revisited later in the game. Like the drama club finishes the play and performs it at the end of the week.
It would be cool if the play was performed at the beginning of the week where the rival is the drama club girl (I forgot her name) and that's where Senpai meets the rival
This is just GREAT! Yowi's animations are on point as always. This tutorial does the job perfectly fine and ads a LOT to the game. I still feel like the moping sound is a bit too loud tho... Did Cameron make new music for this? I feel like I've never heard this one before. Last but not least, Kokona's VA is awesome!
Wow! This is great! That animation in the beginning... This is honestly exactly how I dreamed it would be when the tutorial idea was first brought up all those years ago. True to the concept art and everything!
0:09 hold on- is that Info-Chan in the background? The attention to detail in this is just amazing! Nice work Yandev! (As well as everyone else who worked on the tutorial, y'all did an amazing job)
I read the part in the article saying people willing to complain about tutorials when clearly people put a lot of hard work into it. This breaks my heart. You did an EXCELLENT JOB YANDEV!!!! Don't you forget it!!!!!
This is a good proper tutorial for the core basic mechanics. Nice work! Also it's great to hear lines from our girl Kokona again (and kill her multiple times)
This is really good. Just a suggestion, there's becoming quite a bit of lists of "how to's" in the game, I think this may make new players skip over it because it looks like a lot, like info-chan's lists, the tutorial, this new tutorial, the Hairdresser's tips, etc. Instead, maybe inside her phone/computer she has a "Guide to Murder" which breaks down simple aspects that are often forgotten, with graphics/chibis. Make things simple like "A few ways to make a room less guarded...", "Some useful tools could be inside of locked rooms...(shed, storage closet)", "I could make some friends and they could become important tools..", "Infochan seems to have my back...she could help me take down my rival...". Keep this tutorial but just make some of the "list"-y aspects into graphics/things easier to digest. And alot of new players may feel they HAVE to do something a certain way when it's generally a sandbox so maybe expand on that too like Kokona saying "well you could also do that!" EDIT: It would also be refreshing for returning players, because frequently we have to look up how to do things.
This is a kick-ass tutorial. And Kokona is finally immortalized as the UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom! Also, the lead actress is obviously Kizana. Also, I LOVE the Voiceover and ambience. I wonder if Kokona will have lines if she spots the methods taught being used. Also, the return of the Void Girls! (or however they are called)
I love this tutorial... It's a plausible enough story, and it have awesome quality. I'm korean, and I learned english cause I want to play this game smoothly. I hope this game spreads more widely and becomes a famous game in Korea as well. I will always cheer you up Yandev!
O M G i love this tutorial so much! It's amazing and i'm so happy to finally hear Kokona's voice again. She is kinda also a "tutorial rival" just like Sumire. I mean she's the main target, but she is not dying (and i'm happy that she's not lol)
"Yan-chan! It was just a silly script for our club practice! Why did you make it a reality?! IT WAS JUST A PLAY!" - Said Kokona after becoming the last remaining witness of Ayano's actions and her last word's echo spreaded softly around the gym as she gave out her last breath.
Looks good. I like how the tutorial is implemented in-universe and given more personality than just "here's the basic mechanics." If I could offer some words of advice, I'd say that you could shorten certain tutorials down some: there's not really any reason to force the player to dump all five bodies into the furnace before turning it on. Also, personally speaking, I would think that some more complicated strategies like the tripwire should be something the player either has to unlock from Info-Chan or figure out themselves: it'd be more satisfying to the player if they learn how to do something more complicated like that on their own. Anyway, it's all looking great and can't wait for more info on the game!
This is great! It still has some issues, but otherwise - good job. Personal tip - to avoid Ayano's hair and skirt hopping up, you could add a fake white overlay after the real loading (so the hair and skirt would hop up unseen)
though the hair snapping and sudden dropping of the items is a bit anti-climactic, I ABSOLUTELY love the entirety of it, it's implemented so creatively, and ties in with the "lore" so well, as well as lays ground for a Pacifist Run in 202X mode. Especially, I love the way Kokona talks about the play, it feels so natural, yet you can feel the dramatic-ness of a play.
This is amazing! Each time I see a new feature like this it really reminds me how much work and dedication Yandere Dev is putting into YanSim. Keep up the amazing work!
The animations are impeccable as far as the elimination methods of each character are concerned, plus the voice acting for yanchan and kokona are perfect,🍃
The tutorial is super fun! Even though I've followed the development of YanSim and played since 2016 basically, I was super rusty now that I started playing again, and this tutorial was fun enough to make me familiar with the mechanics again, although I wonder why the school would let a play like that take place kfkfkfk. Glad to see Kokona take a main role again too! :)
I think it would be really cute if sometimes we heard Riku chime in with stuff like "Wait but it's way harder to get blood out of white clothing" and kokona chiming in with "well this is fictional silly :)" I don't know I just think it would be really cute if sometimes we heard another voice popping and question the logistics and Kokona reminding them that this is a fictional scenario
Damn, Kokona's an amazing actress, I don't know how she faked being chopped up, it lookef so real. Really, this tutorial is really cool, also, in the future you could give the incinerator a more carbord-y texture, this way it would look more like a play.
I think that it would be good to add the laughing for increasing sanity in the final tests’ completion requirements cause new players may not remember that it’s also important to do that? just a suggestion
Tbh it would be a bit funny if one of the "corpses" starting giggling or something and the narrator got onto the theater club clown to get it together. Because me personally I'd start giggling when im being picked up and carried off to burn XD.
Oh hey, the present day tutorial is here, and it looks great! That Kokona was the test rival during the early phase of the game, and is a member of the Drama Club portraying teaching Ayano (and the player) how to kill and clean up afterwards as a play is very creative!
I'm glad you caught that! Kokona was once the "test dummy" that was used for testing new elimination methods, and now Kokona is *personally asking you* to perform those same eliminations on her for the sake of her play.
Kokona!! Our BESTIEEE!! Still can’t believe I started playing this game on 4 May 2016 and even before I started playing the game, I watched people playing the game on UA-cam!!
The tutorial is fantastic and clear, but it does bring one thing to mind Carrying every tarp bag individually to the incinerator feels overly tedious and slightly unrealistic, if we increase our PE stat (or joined the Sports Club), could we possibly carry a heavy item in each hand?
I known that you record all the voice lines... But i feel like she could tell like a story and no a script of what's going on in the screen to feel more organic, like Romeo and juliet but with a murder, and thats the play that Kizana would do in her week, and thats like a foreshadow, it's justo an idea. Still love all the work you put into this love u Yandev💖💖
You can put the rest of the club watching what Ayano and kokona are doing in every scene, because they are all rehearsing idk. That only an idea still love this tutorial is so unique💖💖
Both of the tutorials are amazing! In the 1980's mode We actually get acquainted with the story of the ghost in the bathroom, and in 202X mode we make a dress rehearsal with the drama club! Edit: I would only change the part with the bloody uniform, I think most players burn it in the indicator and buy/sew another one ^^
It's wholesome to see Kokona is teaching Ayano and Player how to play the game. She was a test rival so of course Kokona is the only one can teach how to play.
evet
shes been through enough these past 5 years
Kokona is an OG
Yeah
its also very nice if she knows she is a test rival yet still helping ayano kill lmao
Its incredible how much this game has changed since the first testing builds
Agreed!
Yes!! It has improved a lot! Imagine what the final game is going to be like 😁
@@akarii-chan ikr!
been playing for 7 years and yan sim is just getting insane with these updates. it's been amazing watching this game grow
Ikr 😞😌 it has been a long way
With a tutorial like this one its possible to establish the fact that Ayano is not a killer like her mother
I don’t get what you mean. How does the tutorial establish that?
@@sailorwinxknighTronic837 In this tutorial ayano doesn't actually kill anyone. But in 1980s mode ryoba actually does kill someone.
Agreed!
Potentially. It's a compromise of people who want to play a less violent Ayano.
That's a silly observation.
omg kokona’s voice actor did a splendid job!!!!
mom0ki has always been fantastic as kokona, but she really upped it for this tutorial
RIGHT??
That stood out to me in this video.
That’s a very realistic rehearsal, like they have fake blood, removable limbs, real life VFX and so much. You could almost think they are actually dying and not doing a play
I mean yeah, the school is being funded by a billion dollar company
Yup, after all, Akademy High is an elite school in the game
This looks great! Glad to have Kokona still play an important role!
If Kokona didn't have an important role in the final game, longtime fans would riot
She earned her popularity with players/fans in her many years as a test dummy!
@@Soufriere84 Yes, we became quite attached to her 😆

@@stevewalker9870 it was a very long time ago, i only remember because of jay (from the kubz scouts) old mini series about the ghost in the bathroom
Kokona has now embraced her test dummy status to become a Master of Masters of Death. Well played, Haruka-san; well played.
I LOVE just the small little detail of Ayano getting scared when Kokona surprises her from behind. You could tell Ayano was annoyed that Kokona interrupted her day dreaming of senpai. Best of all though, it made Ayano feel real and that the characters are alive. It’s the little details like this that make the game come to life
I also love the annoyed expression that she did when Kokona ask if she would mind helping lmao
Except for the bland senpai she adores
Tutorial how to get that it's 2024🤓
And 0:09 look at the end of wall because it,looks like a teacher or info channel
And looks like 2 people
The tutorial is so unique, love it
Man, this turned out great! I was so happy to work on the music! Great work as always
Dang nice
You did a great job on the music
Dev said you pulled an all-nighter to get new music ready in time. Thank you and great job!
This is just the perfect tutorial for YanSim, a mix of cute and disturbing!
Hearing Kokona put so much Joy into murderous lines is weird, but a good weird.
Well to Kokona, she was just playfullying reading a scary story, not knowing she was teaching a potential murderer
Theater kids, amirite? (Source: I am a theater kid.)
Kokonut is still my favorite character even though she's not needed anymore
She will awayls be in our hearts 😭
KOKONUT😭😭😭😭
I feel like it would be cool if this play was briefly revisited later in the game. Like the drama club finishes the play and performs it at the end of the week.

This is seriously awesome! I love the new tutorial and the animations. I like how Kokona is playing a role in this game again, great!
This update will help new players a LOT!
This is just GREAT!
Yowi's animations are on point as always.
This tutorial does the job perfectly fine and ads a LOT to the game.
I still feel like the moping sound is a bit too loud tho...
Did Cameron make new music for this? I feel like I've never heard this one before.
Last but not least, Kokona's VA is awesome!
yes cameron did, check the development blog!
cameron is just amazing at music, and kokona's VA is extraordinary!
Damn those students are really good actors! They all screamed and bled so realisticly
This is just the best tutorial I've ever seen!! I really don't know why you were so worried that it wouldn't meet our expectations. It's amazing!! ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I love the way Kokona narrates everything, it's just perfect
I love the fact that it's Kokona, I feel very warm towards this character so it's nice to see her teaching new players in such artistic manner💜
Wow! This is great! That animation in the beginning... This is honestly exactly how I dreamed it would be when the tutorial idea was first brought up all those years ago. True to the concept art and everything!

@@MyDadLeftMeForMyWife you like the game and dislike the creator at the same time

Yeah, tutorials are considered to be the most difficult level to create and also the last level created.
@@elmaster48 True, Tutorials are usually made last.
This is a good proper tutorial for the core basic mechanics. Nice work!
Also it's great to hear lines from our girl Kokona again (and kill her multiple times)

The drama club weeks later realizing they created a monster

it sounds better indeed !
Wow, this is awesome, can't wait for the Kickstarter. This is going to surprise old players when they return
as an old player, i have to agree. i didn't think it was real at first lol, thought it was a mod ngl
Very well done, i remember yandev talking about this a while ago, glad it turned out so well!
Bro the animations are smooth, also I'm glad to hear Kokona's voice again, and I'm glad to see her having a role in the game just like in the past

kokona y su voz me dan mil años más de vida
¿Verdad que sí?
Es cierto, encima es súper tiernis ♥️
Verdad
I honestly love how Kokona is so nice to Yan-Chan and this is the best tutorial in Yan Sim for a while
I was wondering why I felt so much joy watching this ... then I realized it was because of the animation being...well lifelike
"Yan-chan! It was just a silly script for our club practice! Why did you make it a reality?! IT WAS JUST A PLAY!" - Said Kokona after becoming the last remaining witness of Ayano's actions and her last word's echo spreaded softly around the gym as she gave out her last breath.
This is probably one of the best cutscenes/tutorial in yandere simulator!
I’m so happy that the scenes that I first saw in 2017 have finally come to life!
I absolutely love the way Kokona stays Yandere Chan's guinea pig for years, never getting out of the undying loop
Looks good. I like how the tutorial is implemented in-universe and given more personality than just "here's the basic mechanics."

This is great! It still has some issues, but otherwise - good job. Personal tip - to avoid Ayano's hair and skirt hopping up, you could add a fake white overlay after the real loading (so the hair and skirt would hop up unseen)
And then the head master promptly censor the show for being too gruesome for school, but also too close to personal trauma.
Kokona is a great damn actor if she can act realistic deaths right there and then
I just played through the whole thing, I was really impressed by the voice acting & animations!
though the hair snapping and sudden dropping of the items is a bit anti-climactic, I ABSOLUTELY love the entirety of it, it's implemented so creatively, and ties in with the "lore" so well, as well as lays ground for a Pacifist Run in 202X mode.
Especially, I love the way Kokona talks about the play, it feels so natural, yet you can feel the dramatic-ness of a play.
I am in love with the new laughing animating, the way ayanos arm shakes when she's laughing is awesome
The sound of the kokona gives me another thousand years of life
Aww, seeing Kokona made me feel nostalgic
Guys who saw Info-Chan at the begging?
I just saw her peeking behind the wall 😇
This animator is SO GOOD the animations are so cute and full of life!!!!!
0:26 i think i remember this being talked about in an older video. so happy it’s real now!!
This is amazing! Each time I see a new feature like this it really reminds me how much work and dedication Yandere Dev is putting into YanSim.
Keep up the amazing work!
From beta rival to ayano's friend, Kokona is iconic✨💕
The animations are impeccable as far as the elimination methods of each character are concerned, plus the voice acting for yanchan and kokona are perfect,🍃
This looks so good!
I missed Kokona 😭
The tutorial is super fun!

Glad to see Kokona take a main role again too! :)
Kokona:I know I’m just a guinea pig but I’m now gonna teach you cause I don’t have much to do except go on dates with creepy old men-
This Looks so Good! I love how the game is progressing, the animation looks so clean and Cute…💗🎀
I was afraid that Kokona wouldn't have a important role in the game anymore, so this made me very happy! She's the perfect person to do this tutorial!
I think it would be really cute if sometimes we heard Riku chime in with stuff like
"Wait but it's way harder to get blood out of white clothing" and kokona chiming in with "well this is fictional silly :)"
I don't know I just think it would be really cute if sometimes we heard another voice popping and question the logistics and Kokona reminding them that this is a fictional scenario
I like that Yan-Chan can be a nickname coming from aYANo and that it's no longer (just) an abbreviation of Yandere-Chan
I miss kokona's voice so much😭💞💞
This animation is perfect in every detail, I know everything they teach in the tutorial but even so I really wanted to play. Good work Yandere dev.
the drama kids are such good actors tho
it's literally genius to have kokona remain the trial rival in this way while also having a tutorial in the drama club, 2 birds one stone
Wow this came out so well I’m happy everything is falling into place I was so excited about this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
THE VOICE ACTING IS SO GOOD
This is amazing!!! Everything is so well done and it explains basically everything perfectly!!!
I remember yandere dev said that he would planned for this story for kokona
Damn, Kokona's an amazing actress, I don't know how she faked being chopped up, it lookef so real.
Really, this tutorial is really cool, also, in the future you could give the incinerator a more carbord-y texture, this way it would look more like a play.
i still find it amazing how the school could allow such a play...
That cutscene was so smooth. Loved it 💗
This result is great! Well done Yandere dev😍😍😍❤
I think that it would be good to add the laughing for increasing sanity in the final tests’ completion requirements cause new players may not remember that it’s also important to do that? just a suggestion
Tbh it would be a bit funny if one of the "corpses" starting giggling or something and the narrator got onto the theater club clown to get it together. Because me personally I'd start giggling when im being picked up and carried off to burn XD.
This must have taken plenty of work to implement. It turned out great! 👍
Very good Voice Acting!
Oh hey, the present day tutorial is here, and it looks great! That Kokona was the test rival during the early phase of the game, and is a member of the Drama Club portraying teaching Ayano (and the player) how to kill and clean up afterwards as a play is very creative!
I'm glad you caught that!
Kokona was once the "test dummy" that was used for testing new elimination methods, and now Kokona is *personally asking you* to perform those same eliminations on her for the sake of her play.
Kokona!! Our BESTIEEE!! Still can’t believe I started playing this game on 4 May 2016 and even before I started playing the game, I watched people playing the game on UA-cam!!
I remembered when this feature was just released!!
its lovely to see kokona again
Me parece muy lindo ver en la cinemática cómo Ayano interactúa con las personas (En este caso Kokona)
this tutorial will be so helpful for new players! i actually learnt some new things and ive played the game before lol
The new laughing animation is more realistic 🤩
WOW i love it I LOVE YANSIM
I LOVE UR WORK
The cinematic the menu wow
Great!❤
Aw, thanks for your kind words!
Does anyone else have the thought of the supposed "lead actress" being kizana sunobu? She's the only drama club member that isn't here yet.
I thought we all knew that lol
The tutorial is fantastic and clear, but it does bring one thing to mind
Carrying every tarp bag individually to the incinerator feels overly tedious and slightly unrealistic, if we increase our PE stat (or joined the Sports Club), could we possibly carry a heavy item in each hand?
I like how Info-Chan is spying on them lol
Even better then I expected! Good job yandere dev
Wow! Really love the way tutorial with drama narration! That's pretty cool!
I know right??
Turned out great ! Love it.
Great job! The tutorial looks awesome! + Fulfilled promise in the piggy bank.
This is so cool! Beautiful work!!
I feel like Kokona and Ayano are just close friends at this point, and that's so wholesome.
I known that you record all the voice lines... But i feel like she could tell like a story and no a script of what's going on in the screen to feel more organic, like Romeo and juliet but with a murder, and thats the play that Kizana would do in her week, and thats like a foreshadow, it's justo an idea. Still love all the work you put into this love u Yandev💖💖
You can put the rest of the club watching what Ayano and kokona are doing in every scene, because they are all rehearsing idk. That only an idea still love this tutorial is so unique💖💖
There are some things that you can't include in Romeo and Juliet, like snapping a photo of a character. This technology didn't exist back then
@@akarii-chan a modern version yes
Did anyone else see Info-Chan peeking over the corner when Taro was walking by?
This looks amazing a job well done to Yandere dev and his team!
yeah I agree!
OMG this animation is amazing! It’s fantastic that the game is a still always getting updates
This is such a cool way to add a tutorial, really great idea
Both of the tutorials are amazing!
In the 1980's mode We actually get acquainted with the story of the ghost in the bathroom, and in 202X mode we make a dress rehearsal with the drama club!
Edit: I would only change the part with the bloody uniform, I think most players burn it in the indicator and buy/sew another one ^^
