YIIK: A Post Modern RPG / Ackk Studios / Andrew Allanson - "I wanted to make a game with a protagonist who was very unlikeable" - From Someone who is equally unlikeable. Currently developing Version I.V (1.5)

I think there's some strong backgrounds and visual designs sometimes. Maybe not so much the character designs, but I do like the environments and atmosphere of some places. Wind Town at night, with the Soul Survivor (And now The Camera) in particular looks really cool. I think the decision to use the 3D models more now than the 2D artwork was a good choice. The models look a dozen times better than the artwork.
100% agree the 3D art leaves something for your imagination to fill in the blanks. That being said I haven't seen this update and I'm waiting on someone to post some screenshots
 
Not surprising he said that, though I personally would not trust anything of importance near Brian and Andrew given how much they fucked up Two Brothers and YIIK

I'm glad someone other than me remembers Two Brothers. I am still pissed those retards never made the free remake they promised everyone more than once.

I remembered, I even put it in the OP that Nintendo tried to port it to the WiiU and they dropped it, hard, to the point my dumbass forgot to archive the video before they privated it.

Reading everything about the update reminds me of why I made the thread, because I knew the update was not really an update, but more of Andrew trying to find ways to winge about his half-assed game developing, and instead of focusing on an original product, he's now trying to find ways to jab at the people who shat on the game.
 
This obsession with Running Shine is hilarious, especially since the guy seems so nice when the video is done and he's talking to his fans out of character.
I don't know anything about this new update, but nothing will beat the Alpaca from the 1.0 release. The edgy alpaca they introduced in the updated version is so cringe, his story arc(which he has now apparently) doesn't even go anywhere.
 
Honestly? I like all the new music. The tutorial one grew on me even if it is goofy I don't think it is obnoxious... Would I feel this way still if that track was for every fight? I'm not sure, I'd probably get sick of it though.

There isn't much to take screen shots of. So far I'm through the sewers (work is busy). And aside with some neat vague stuff regarding michael it is all basically the same. If this game doesn't change the ending this would not have been worth it. The combat isn't a horrible slog but aside from being able to swap karta around to make interesting builds (for example you can make your health insanely massive early on, but you are in a permanent bleed state). I'm not really all that engaged with it overall but it isn't painful. The camera swinging around wildly in battles is also obnoxious but you can turn this off. The pacing still isn't great with some dialogue scenes, and the new visuals while good and interesting won't carry the game when it is already still long. The sections with the nameless child are well paced, but I don't know what to think of them unless it leads to something, since its all just wild and odd visuals and atmosphere with those parts. I assume it just tells us more about proto alex/william.


He has a thing for Rory and... Alex's sister?(???) And sometimes he sorta snaps into a different character. In battle if he is the last one alive he pulls out a gun and can do a lot of damage and kill soul survivors. A touch I really do like is that he pulls the gun out still if everyone is blinded.


Also this isnt about michael, but inthe new mind dungeon in order to get more karta you first have to give away your heart. If you don't, you get basically no karta. If there is an ending locked behind not giving away your heart for some minimal karta challenge run I will be upset.

Rory isn't shit anymore. He deals the most damage by far but he only attacks if an enemy attacks him. Even just having a tank defend every turn to raise pp is pretty good to have. Vella feels significantly weaker then base game but I haven't found more skills for her.

Dunno when I'll play more. I've been busy :(

I asked them when TF they were going to release the Two Brothers remake on Twitter, and they blocked and reported me for harassment. Pussies!
 
I can't believe nobody's talking about the tutorial fight music.


Like what the fuck is this.
This is like someone making a parody of a YIIKES song, lmfao

If most of the effort went into "fixing" the combat, then what a waste it was. Everyone knows to just use LP Toss and leave it at that, why bother using anything else?

My new meta is to just let everyone but Michael get fucked up and then have him shoot everything.

Rory is pretty busted this time around too. Turned the literally useless party member into a top tier one.
 
I fucking regret buying Yiik
I do not want to play a game with a pedophile and a pedo defender in it
Oh Jesus Christ I was actually about to buy it before the sale ended. I’m fucking glad I didn’t, and this very much makes me peg the Alison brothers lower for even including Vito.

Including Dax is understandable because he let them on their show, which led to the clip of one of them whining about how shitty Alex is written, but Vito? They fucking know the horrible shit he’s said, no doubt about it.

I thought this was a joke
I guess we can forget about the brothers being "misunderstood" or not having enough skill/time or whatever to make a proper game, they are indeed just shit at what they do.
Little wonder they hate Running Shine and all the other people criticizing them if they are part of the Juju-verse, pedos and their sympathizers tend to have really thin skin.
This is why you don't give cows the benefit of the doubt: Just because Jace did it once, it doesn't mean that it will happen again. A retard is a retard, a spade is a spade, a pedo is a pedo. Let's just call it what it is.
BTW, Juju and Vito, really? Didn't Toby Fox work on this game, too? Wouldn't it be better to have him on as a cameo? Or any other people that covered this game? It used to be a big deal before launch and even after launch it got plenty of attention, just for different reasons.
