I actually wonder if I can make some kind of class/property map out of this because it looks like most parts that are required more often all have references to each other in them.

The fact that YanDev actually refused to take the code that was improved by someone from tinyBuild because "he couldn't understand it" just verifies that any quality in this is genuine.

it's so fun how YanDev thinks that the performance of the game is tanking because of the rendering.

There even are low-poly models rendered at a distance for students.

But with this much stuff being tied to a single student instance, adjusting the rendering will only be the smallest part.

here, a video scrolling through the "StudentScript" class unfolded, using the Windows scroll control held down.

Purple is properties, Dark Green properties with getters and setters and Orange are methods.

the video/gif is 45 seconds, by the way

To explain a bit more, this is the core of 95% of all the people walking around on the school grounds of this game

With THIS MUCH stuff being inside every each instance, no wonders the game runs horrible on every computer ever.

okay, some more information I figured out.

Yandere Simulator isn't using C#.

It's using...UnityScript? Which is weird JS-like syntax fused with C# below it?

And it has been deprecated....a few years ago already.

So, Yandere Simulator is written with UnityScript, which is a weird..."marriage" of JS and C# I guess.

Basically JS-syntactic sugar for C#?

It really looks like a weird mix of the two. And it looks like the result is still a C# assembly in the end (at least I decompiled a C# one)

Surely, the decompilation output isn't as accurate then, but the large classes etc. are still coming from the dev himself, not UnityScript.

@pixel hey check out this hot new game only requires 32gb of ram

@karina all these cross references, holy heck

someone needs to teach this guy about Manager/Singleton patterns ASAP

@pixel

"I care about performance"

"What's a profiler"

@luna "profiles? sorry, I don't think I will ever add those, my main priority is adding the first rival to the game"

@pixel holy shit, wasn't he a professional game dev before?
like that was part of his backstory, I'm sure of it.
what did he DO in that position?
like what were his responsibilities???
such that would lead him to believe he should jump into making his own game like that.
hearing about how he schedules his life as well is... wow.

@toast @pixel I think he went to community college for multimedia but I don't think he ever went professional with anything gamedev related

@VD15 @pixel
"I'm YandereDev! I worked at a video game company for 3 years, then left to become a freelance programmer and pursue my dream of becoming an independent game developer. In the past, I've worked on 5 console games (for Wii, 360, and PS3) and 5 mobile games (for Vita and iPhone)."[1]

@toast @pixel you gotta love how he's asking for money via patreon so he can later ask for money via kickstarter so he can eventually ask for money via game sales

@toast I saw his LinkedIn and he was in fact never a professional.

He helped with and made small mobile games at a...mobile game centric studio, but that was it, and of course his other gamedev projects at the side.

@pixel he claims he's worked on several console games (see other subthread)... so that's really weird.
And, well, mobile games are even more performance-critical, so surely he wasn't involved with the code there either... Unless they flopped I guess.

@toast okay, it also included console games, I remembeed wrongly.

But here, as you can see in the roles, aside for the mobile games, he only supported/QA'd them.

@pixel that makes it worse, imo
he should KNOW the quality of his game is unacceptable
but then he rejects changes (e.g the tiny build thing) that improve it

@toast well, from all the personal replies he always makes to critism etc. it looks like he is high up on his ego-trip because he made something popular.

which mainly works because of anime + hitman-like concept. The execution itself is rather bad tho.

@pixel no fucking way

@pixel please end this codes suffering

@pixel so it might as well have been your decompiler fucking up all along huh

it might have been deprecated but that never stopped people, isn't most gamedev hacked up code anyway?

@314 hmm, Unity still makes a C# assembly out of it tho.

even if the actual code inside might be somewhat different, the structure of the actual Scripts/Classes is probably like that, which doesn't make the code any better.

@pixel it used to be written in JS I think, but at some point the dev said he was rewriting everything in C#
guess that changed?

@toast well, as far as I know it was the tinyBuild deal to convert it to C#, but that...failed, due to his statement of "not being able to understand the new code" etc.

@pixel nice...

@toast and it being some weird JS-dialect, it actually makes sense that all of the objects carry references to each other

because that seems like a fairly JS way to do things (if you only know so and so much stuff)
