As of the April 18th 2019 Build, a Map of the school can be toggled by pressing the "Spacebar" key on the keyboard, and the "Back" key on an Xbox Controller.However, he won’t prepare something like this until the school is 100% finished. YandereDev thinks there should be an option for the player to press a button and see a map of the school.The name of the school is similar to the Japanese katakana spelling for "academy": Akademī (アカデミー).That plan didn't work, so modular pieces were created instead. The original plan for renovating Akademi was to simply use this model.It will appear in a flashback because a very important character from that school plays a role in the game's backstory. There's a rival school, but there will be no rivals from there.(Kanji are characters used in the Japanese language.) Despite the game using a lot of Japanese themes, signs, and boards in-game will be in English instead of kanji.He said that later in the game there would be better environments. There used to be an old test environment that YandereDev later removed in the May 24th, 2015 Build.The Headmaster's Tapes will reveal more about the backstory of the school.The police and the media stay away from the school because the headmaster bribes the police as said in Mysterious Tape #2.They don't want to create an image of a school where students are in danger, need protection, or surveillance. The reason why there are no security cameras is that the school cares about its reputation.Ayano may be able to call the school to explain that she is "sick" if she misses a day of school because of torturing a student.The original layout of the school was based on Yasogami High School from Persona 4.In the internal game files, Akademi is referred to as SchoolScene.Akademi was built by Saisho Saikou in 1985, the founder and former CEO of Saikou Corp for her daughter Ichiko Saikou, the former heiress of Saikou Corp.Saisho Saikou orders Akademi being constructed in 1984.When walking or running around, the environment flashes due to certain camera angles.Upon joining the academy, a student can decide whether to join as a first, second, or a third year student.Įvery student will wear the default school uniform unless customized by the player. Students must be eighteen to enroll in the academy, and it is marketed to high school graduates as a place to continue their education in a school-like setting and environment. Īkademi is a very famous, being synonymous with Harvard or Yale within the in-game universe. This is to keep the framerate up, as the town will then not have to be rendered. The school and town will be separated by a winding trail surrounded by trees so that when Ayano is in school, she will not be able to see the town. Along with the Aishi house and Buraza town, it is the main setting for Yandere Simulator. Ayano Aishi, Senpai, the ten rivals and the other students, currently attend. Comparison between the old and the new version of Akademi.Īkademi viewed from above, March 30th, 2021.Īkademi is a prestigious post-highschool academy (former high school in early builds) that simulates the feeling of a highschool environment for people who prefer a highschool atmosphere over a college atmosphere.
