Yandere Simulator was pitched on April 1st, 2014 on 4chan. The "pre-alpha" would get released 15 days later. The game would get banned from Twitch on January 21st, 2016. However, the first official demo was released on AUGUST 31ST 2020, and the 1980s mode would be released on OCTOBER 2021. As of June 5th, 2023, the game was in development for 9 years, 2 months and 4 days.
So, this post will compare the development time of YanSim to other games who had long development time:
​

#1: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

On June 11th, 2019, Nintendo would release a teaser of a Breath of the Wild sequel. This video will collect more than 15 million views, and loads of interest about what could this game have features. However, due to COVID-19, the game development was halted and, on March 29th, 2022, Nintendo released a video and declared that they'll postpone the release of the game to Spring 2023, and apologized to all who waited for the game's released. Of course, there were lots of doubts about will this game be even released in 2023, and multiple persons expressed their frustration. But, on Sept 13th, 2022, Nintendo would release their first official trailer of the game, now called "Tears of the Kingdom", and the release date was officialized: May 12th, 2023. 2 more exciting trailers later, the game was eventually released, and oh boy the delay was worth it: 10 million copies sold worldwide in 3 days, which is more than Twilight Princess did in years, and critical acclaim from every single site. Even I bought the game and I'm super impatient on finishing, but there's still my exams to finish. Gamers waited 3 years, 11 months and 2 days for the game release, and there're more ways to torture Koroks and to kill rivals
​

#2: Final Fantasy XV

Now we will start in "Development Hell" mode. Final Fantasy XV's development started in 2006 as spinoff on PS3. 6 years later, it would be rebranded as the next mainline title and Nomura would be replaced by Hajime Tabata as the game's director, with the spinoff at 20 to 25% complete. Due to the change, more development was required, as the story was needed to be revamped and some characters repurposed or even removed. The game would eventually be released on November 29th, 2016. The game would be met with favorable reviews and 10 million copies were sold worldwide, making it one of the best-selling games of Final Fantasy. Gamers waited 10 years for the spinoff and 4 years for the mainline game, which is quite little compared to the next game.
​

#3 Duke Nukem FOREVER

Oh boy it deserves its name. Announced on April 27th, 1997 (yes), the game was released in....2011!!!! Let's start this journey that will make YandereDev look like Eiji Aonuma. 3D Realms was announced in April 1997. Less than a year later, the Build engine, in which the game was based on, was considered obsolete and the devs were forced to change to Quake II engine, and the publisher, 3D Realms, lost $500,000. The first screenshots were released at E3 1998, but the sun won't be seen anytime soon. In June 1998, the devs decide to switch engine AGAIN, this time to Unreal, because it was better suited to open spaces (they had a difficult time to render the Nevada Desert). According to George Broussard, this change was nothing and it'll be back on track, which is countered by programmer Chris Hangrove's statement that they needed to restart from ZERO.
By the turn of the millenium, multiple release dates were missed, as Broussard wanted to add multiple elements. 3D Realms even joked that they are trying to stop Broussard looking at other games because he wanted to include portions into the game. Finally, a trailer was released in E3 2001, which ended up being called a "scam" by Broussard himself 21 years later.
Fast forward to 2003, the game had only 18 people on it, and one former employee complained that Broussard and Miller had still the "1995 mentality". Then, controversy happened: Jeffrey Lapin, Take-Two CEO, said that the game won't be released in 2003 and they wrote off $5.5 million off the revenues due to DNF. and that's Broussard's response:

Take-Two needs to STFU ... We don’t want Take-Two saying stupid-ass things in public for the sole purposes of helping their stock. It's our time and our money we are spending on the game. So either we're absolutely stupid and clueless, or we believe in what we are working on.

YandereDevlike response. Anyway, Lapin was told that the game would be released between late 2004 and early 2005. But it's not finished...
Rumors said that DNF switched for a third time their game engine, this time to iD Tech 4. These rumors were denied by Broussard himself, but it's not like the game was fully developed anyw...Broussard confirmed that many of the game's elements were finished and he's just " pulling it all together and trying to make it fun". but, like YandereDev's statements, it was a lie. Take-Two negotiated a $4.25 million deal instead of $6 million for Broussard. Everyone working in DNF were tired, many of them left the development. Van Lierop was hired to test the game in 2007, and stated that the game was more finished than expected, but Broussard felt it needed two more years.
The delays strained the relationship between Miller and Broussard but, finally, a new trailer was released by the end of 2007, but no release date was announced. As the game was near completion, funding started to deplete and, despite multiple negotiations, Broussard suspended their collaborations with 3D Realms.
In 2010, the staff was reduced, and 3D Realms laid off the staff a year prior. However, problems were not finished: Take Two sued 3D Realms over the failure of completing DNF, which will be settled in 2010. However, Miller stated that the development was suspended. In 2010, 3D Realms approached GearBox Productions to complete the game. Randy Pitchford, the CEO of the studio, decided to help the devs as he felt "Duke can't die". The final trailer was released in late 2010, and the game can finally be played. The game would be eventually released in June 14th, 2011, after 14 years, a month and 19 days of waiting, which will be the longest time of development a game had until 2022, when Beyond Good and Evil 2, in development since 2007, surpassed DNF.
The game itself, is mediocre. I will let this French video by well known Youtuber "Joueur du Grenier" (French version of the "Angry Video Game Nerd") talk about it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74fG-8jPsRw (censored)/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-or4WhpXx_k (uncensored)).

Comparison (TL-DR):

Yandere Simulator was in development for 9 years, and the demo was released 6 years after the first announcement, and that's after the Love LetteDrApeis controversy. The popularity wave was already gone, and few people still care about the game (mainly because of mods, concepts and it's not-Sergio-Leone-level spaghetti code).
If we need to compare YanSim with the 3 games mentioned, the game will have a lot of similarities with Duke Nukem Forever than TotK and FFXV. TotK was only postponed because of the need of polishing some features, while FFXV was in development was for 10 years because of change of direction, and both are quite good games. DNF's development was riddled with burned bridges, false hopes and controversies like YanSim, and was only saved because of a dude that wanted to Duke Nukem to survive and even after that, the game was received mediocrly. So yeah, if you want to resume the concept of the game, it's a "Yandere PC Version of DukeNukem Forever made by a pedophiliac weirdo whose only relevance are the potential lore the weirdo didn't even develop, the concepts/mods made by amazing Youtubers, the supersupbar spaghetti code, the mega-controversies around the game, and the fans who are courageous enough to de facto take over the game when the dev is lazy to say that the game is annulled" As always, all criticism is accepted, sayonara.

Decentralised finance (DeFi) is leading a financial revolution. This innovation is replacing the traditional banking system with public blockchains, empowering users to manage their financial services. With applications like AAVE, users can transact with digital assets without the need for banks as custodians.
However, like any revolution, risks are present. In DeFi, one of the significant risks is the exposure of users' wallets to malicious domains. So, how can we protect ourselves in this landscape?
The solution lies in the use of decentralised infrastructure. Immutable data storage platforms such as IPFS ensure that once web applications are launched, they cannot be altered. But remember, human-readable URLs can still expose the domain to manipulation at the CDN layer.
That's where services like Spheron and tools like SecureOn come in. They help maintain the integrity of served content and reinforce trust in the domain, ensuring a safer and more secure DeFi environment.
Let's embrace this new era where code rules and users are empowered. Together, we can shape a secure, trustless financial future!
Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences with DeFi and the security measures you've implemented. Let's learn from each other and navigate this exciting new era together!

I hope you had a great weekend! You've made my past couple weeks so nice and have completely filled my mailbox. So sorry for the delay in posting; we've had a family visit and a short getaway for another family visit right before having a couple sickly people in the household from said visits, so I'm just now getting on here to type these and got a bit behind... again. The mail has been so fun to see, and I have appreciated every single card! You guys are the sweetest!

I also loved your vintage postcard from my home area! I haven't been in that particular spot for ages! Speaking of the message you wrote, we watched bits of the Coronation after the fact on YouTube! I didn't watch the entirety of it, tbh, but enough to share with the littles as a, "Hey, this doesn't happen often" type of thing.
u/mlks00, thank you for the adorable little hamster with flowers card! It was so nice getting a check-in from you!
u/mydinosaurdidit (x3), thank you for your cards from your trip last month! You are so creative to make an envelope out of the map! What a great idea! I googled the area you said to image search, and it looks breathtaking! I'm really glad you were able to go. You even shared a bit with me! <3 Do you get to go there somewhat often? I know you mentioned it's a bit far for a day trip, but what a cool place!
u/notinmywheelhouse, WOW! Just wow! You are so talented! I love your art style, and you are so sweet to share some of it with me in the form of this cat card!

You also included a recipe that looks incredible for Ginger Sweet Potato Coconut Milk Stew. Yummmm.... <3
It's so fun that you found a vintage card from a place you once lived! It looks like a really cool spot! You also sent a postcard of where you currently live. I love that you had both!
I also really loved my custom green envelope flair celebration card! That was so sweet. The black and foil gold look so classy with the cute little typewriter and you filled it to the brim with such cool washi and stickers. Thank you!
u/umeshufan (x5) You sent yet another awesome envelope with the coolest Apollo 11 stamp that will be added to the collection! You spoil me with such nice stamps on seemingly every card you send! This one looks like it was made for this navy pearlescent envelope and your metallic ink!
Inside, you sent a postcard of a solar flare card (I like seeing the cool little clips from the NOAA website)! You also sent TWO commemorative solar eclipse cards from the one that happened in the US in 2017 (These are SO awesome!), and there was also a card with all the planets. Wow. You have outdone yourself and then you mentioned on one that you were hoping to write more soon... I have to catch up! :D
You sent a gorgeous hummingbird pop-up card as well! Another person in the household loves it too, of course! It's been displayed ever since it arrived! I love the contrasting teal and orange. Our hummingbirds have finally come back for the year, and it's always so much fun watching the hungry little cuties zipping around the windows to get to their food!
u/todayisfab, u/sebisrude, u/KeenEvergreen, & u/PinkPengin: thank you for the meetup card! I hope it was such a fun outing for each of you! I love the cute little stamps and stickers for the usernames, and you even had a custom meetup stamp made?! Incredibly cool! I love the matching washi and stickers as well. So much fun! Thank you for thinking of me. :)

Hello all I am not a plumber but a long time lurker on this sub. I have toured a number of rental houses and I’ve found it very common to just route the dishwasher drain tube in a straight line to to the main sink drain pipe. In a previous house we had an issue with the dishwasher leaking nasty garbage disposal water everywhere and a quick google search yielded that the tube should have a high loop installed to prevent water from the sink from draining into the dishwasher. The house we signed for yesterday has no high loop and they are currently putting a new dishwasher in to fix a leak issue that the previous tenant was having. I’m curious why it would be so common to skip this step since it just requires a slightly longer hose and a zip tie to do correctly, yet almost every house we tour has the same “incorrect” setup. Is there something I’m not understanding?

In this blog post, we have explained how to easily create Hello World module in Magento 2. Take a note that the concept of local/ community/ core/ folders only existed in Magento 1 and we don’t use them in Magento 2.

Follow the below steps to create HELLO WORLD module

All of our custom modules in Magento 2 go under the app/code directory. The first step towards create module magento 2 is to create a folder inside your project directory named after the module. This will be where all the files related to the module will reside. The modules have a 2 part naming structure, i.e, Namespace/Module. This is so that the modules can be organized more efficiently. So, assuming our Namespace is “Codilar” and our first module will be called “HelloWorld”, the directory structure for our module is gonna be app/code/CodilaHelloWorld/…
So now that we’ve established the directory structure, let’s make a simple module which will show “Hello World” on the content section of the page when we hit the URL “http://mywebsite.com/helloworld/”.
Ok first thing’s first. This is going to be our directory structure for the complete project
So lets start with the registration.php file. app/code/CodilaHelloWorld/registration.php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register( \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
'Codilar_HelloWorld', __DIR__
);
Every module must contain this file. This basically tells Magento “Please register my module, it’s name is Codilar_HelloWorld, which is the Namespace and the Module name underscore separated”.
Next we come to the etc/module.xml app/code/CodilaHelloWorld/etc/module.xml




This file just contains some basic information about the module. Like the module name and module version.
Now the basic files absolutely necessary for any module to work are created. Next we would create a frontend route inside our etc/frontend/routes.xml file which would tell Magento to “Forward the request to our module’s controller whenever the URL is {{base_url}}/helloworld/

app/code/CodilaHelloWorld/etc/frontend/routes.xml

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=
"urn:magento:framework:App/etc/routes.xsd">

Now we make the actual controller where the request would be routed. app/code/CodilaHelloWorld/ControlleIndex/Index.php

*
* u/package magento2
* u/author Codilar Technologies
* u/license https://opensource.org/licenses/OSL-3.0 Open Software License v. 3.0 (OSL-3.0)
* u/link https://www.codilar.com/ */ namespace Codilar\HelloWorld\Controller\Index;
use Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action;
use Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context;
use Magento\Framework\App\ResponseInterface;
use Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory;
class Index extends Action {
/**
* u/var PageFactory
*/
private $pageFactory;
/** * Index constructor.
* u/param Context $context
* u/param PageFactory $pageFactory
*/ public function __construct( Context $context,
PageFactory $pageFactory )
{ parent::__construct($context);
$this->pageFactory = $pageFactory; }
/** * Execute action based on request and return result
* * Note: Request will be added as operation argument in future
* * u/return \Magento\Framework\Controller\ResultInterfaceResponseInterface
* u/throws \Magento\Framework\Exception\NotFoundException
*/ public function execute()
{
$page = $this->pageFactory->create();
return $page; } }

Now we make our layout file to handle the request app/code/CodilaHelloWorld/view/frontend/layout/helloworld_index_index.xml

The layout file basically “references” the “content” container, and inserts our own block Codilar\HelloWorld\Block\Hello into it. And remember, blocks and templates always come in pairs. Hence our block also uses the template Codilar_HelloWorld::hello.phtml
Now to create our block file app/code/CodilaHelloWorld/Block/Hello.php
* * u/packagemagento2
* u/authorCodilar Technologies
* u/licensehttps://opensource.org/licenses/OSL-3.0 Open Software License v. 3.0 (OSL-3.0)
* u/linkhttps://www.codilar.com/
*/ namespace Codilar\HelloWorld\Block;
use Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template; class Hello extends Template {
public function getText() { return "Hello World"; } }
Notice that the block has a function getText() . The block’s function within Magento’s MVC architecture is to structure and provide data to the template which the template will then display
And now finally coming to the template file app/code/CodilaHelloWorld/view/frontend/templates/hello.phtml
u/var \Starlabs\HelloWorld\Block\Hello $block */ ?>

getText() ?>

The template’s job is to fetch data from it’s relevant block (mentioned as an u/var comment at the beginning of the template file) and display it accordingly. Ideally, the template should not be responsible for any logical decisions.
Well that’s about it. Now we just run the php bin/magento setup:upgrade command from our terminal to install our new module and then open our favourite browser and type http://mywebsite.com/helloworld/, and we should be able to see our template in action, like this.
​
Well, that was all guys, on my first blog, among a series of blogs which I’m planning to release eventually which will hopefully clear all your doubts on how to work with Magento, one of the most beautiful PHP frameworks I’ve ever worked with, personally.
Thanks a lot for sticking through this guys. Do let me know in the comment section below about what you want my next Magento tutorial blog to be about. See you till next time!
