what happened to the yandere dev

Yandere Dev, the creator of the game Yandere Simulator, has been accused of grooming a 16-year-old fan, which has caused controversy and led to some key figures leaving the project. Screenshots and audio recordings of messages between Yandere Dev and the fan were made public, showing him talking to a girl he knew was underage. Yandere Dev himself put up a lengthy post in the Yandere Simulator development blog to address the rumors, but he has not admitted to grooming. The controversy has resurfaced old criticisms of Yandere Devs development of the game, which has been in progress for almost ten years without a confirmed release date. The impact of the controversy on the development of the game is unclear, but it may cause setbacks if large numbers of assets need to be replaced.
