<p>This video will give you a tour:</p>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='640' height='360' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pqwhv1yGGl8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p>
<p>Additionally, the game&#8217;s official launcher is now available! This video explains how it works:</p>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='640' height='360' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/kkepUZktZw4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p>
<p>The launcher wouldn&#8217;t be very useful without a new build to download, so I am also releasing a new build today! Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s different in the latest build:</p>
<ul>
<li>Attempted to fix bug that would cause a student to get permanently stuck in place if they were looking at a corpse as it was dismembered.</li>
<li>Replaced the signs outside of classroom doors with new signs that won&#8217;t affect the game&#8217;s framerate as much as the previous signs did.</li>
<li>Placed a lot of new signs around the school (bathroom signs, exit signs, fire extinguisher signs, etc).</li>
<li>Attempted to implement a better &#8220;preparing food&#8221; animation for Kokona&#8217;s Cooking Club event.</li>
<li>Fixed bug that would cause male corpses to turn white upon being dismembered.</li>
<li>Improved the Kokona Monday phone call animation a bit further.</li>
<li>Replaced Ronshaku&#8217;s old voiced lines with new voiced lines.</li>
<li>Added 4 new accessories for Yandere-chan. One of them has functionality&#8230;can you figure out how to activate it?</li>
<li>Added a new weapon to the game. It&#8217;s a joke weapon / gag weapon.</li>
<li>Added 5 new hairstyles for Yandere-chan.</li>
</ul>
<p>Because my visit to Los Angeles ate the first 5 days of the month, and preparing the new website/launcher/bug fixes took up a lot of my time between July 6th and July 13th, I haven&#8217;t had enough time to implement a huge new gameplay feature recently. I feel really guilty about that! I&#8217;m so sorry!</p>
<p>Right now, there are still a lot of bugs I want to fix, volunteer assets I want to implement, and code improvements that I want to make. I may choose to spend the rest of the month getting all that stuff out of the way, and begin working on the next big feature starting on August 1st.</p>
<p>So, instead of seeing a big update on July 15th and August 1st, you might see a lot of minor updates released throughout the rest of the month. I might even release at least one &#8220;major&#8221; update at some point in July, such as implementing the sanity-based combat animations that have been planned for the game since April 2014.</p>
<p>Implementing the sanity-based combat animations would be a really big deal, since it would be a huge step towards making my original vision of the game become a reality, and would make the debug build much more representative of what the final game will actually be like.</p>
<p>By the way &#8211; I think it&#8217;s a good thing to periodically gauge public perception of the job that I&#8217;m doing on Yandere Simulator, so I&#8217;d like to ask you to vote on this poll:</p>
