  • As part of YIIK v1.25 Update (titled: "Deviation Perspective I Wrong Soul Requiem"): it features a drastically reworked scenario in the Sewer Dungeon accessible in Chapter 2, including a overhauled Golden Alpaca scene. Thus, this will be a Major Spoiler alert for those who either played the game prior to Ver. 1.25 or haven't played it yet.
    and yes, the New Golden Alpaca got a new voice. Voiced by Albert Wesker himself: D.C. Douglas
    Quick Disclaimer: For transparency's sake, I playtested YIIK Ver. 1.25. However, my contributions were small.
    For more detail regarding the update: www.ackkstudio...
    and if you want to hear a bit of New Golden Alpaca's backstory, check out the new soundtrack released alongside the patch: andrewallanson...

      If anything, YIIK just needed an editor or beta testers.

    This is a definite improvement but at the same time, you can see that it's being held back by its original making and structure. The need to have Alex there and talk brings you slamming back to reality every time he interrupts and makes himself known past Vella's initial start on her speech. It clear that those lines are also just repurposed but still using them still shows how tied to the original structure the game still is.
    Although I think this part of the game tries to play its hand to early and relies to much on previous knowledge of the game. The Golden Alpaca is changed so much that it's not the same but at the same time, its change is driven almost exclusively by the story's bigger twists later and trying to show its hand earlier and more blatantly than the last time. It basically spells out the ending of Alex's story, gives you major hints about Michael deal that would allow a new player to piece things together themselves easily all while helping to reinforce suspicons about Vella (although I think this is in the better of the story).
    Still, very interesting to see where they fixed things, changed elements and added voices. I think the changes to the Golden Alpaca change its strange set up and thematic trappings (before, it was something that fed off the Soul Survivor to strength it, making it strange allegory for the difficulties of overcoming ones grief. Now; it seems to act a sort of judgement character that ask in some fashion for justification for changes rather the proves one).

    Wow! This is a 100% improvement. They removed the part where Soul Space and parallel realities are explicitly explained in detail by Vella. The Golden Alpaca was changed from meme and joke material (i.e. a joke boss) and makes it menacing and creates world building. My thoughts now are: "Who is he? Does he monitor the realities to make sure two of the same person do not occupy the same reality? Why? Is this a self-appointed duty or one instructed upon him?" It's rough at places but actually makes the game look VERY interesting now considering the main complaint that everyone points to about this game is essentially gone and the serious tone is not obliterated like it was originally. It kinda reminds me with Final Fantasy XV updates adding additional cutscenes, content, and features to vastly improve the experience.

Theres only suppose to be two people there in all the other realities. Alex and rory. Vella and Michael are the differences. I also think Michael is fully aware of the alpaca existence and is hiding alot more than he's letting on. He's almost completely unfazed by his statements.

    Before I get into the merits of this scene, I just gotta say this: even in the original version, I... really did feel for Rory. It really is tragic that we lose the people we love because assholes like his sister's bullies decide to punish others for their own bad decisions. It's not the only reason people take their own lives, but it really is a reason. If you are in that situation for any reason, 988 is the national prevention hotline in the US and I encourage you to look up your own country's number because there are so many resources that can help you. I know what it's like to lose someone that means something to you, but they wouldn't want you to suffer as well. And I really do appreciate Vella for talking him through that...
    AND THEN FOR SOME FUCKING REASON THAT WAS UNDERCUT BY A JOKE BOSS!! Look, for something this heavy, you need some sort of grace period for humor. Undertale gave that, Mother 3 gave that, even OFF did that and there's hardly any humor in that game! But the whiplash factor was mostly in the original version. This version is a bit better. There's no facial animation, but at least there's more dynamic cameras and the character models' expressions are stronger. The Golden Alpacca itself is a bit less silly and more intimidating. The transition into the boss fight was eased up a bit. And the music during the intro to the boss was... kinda creepier. It even gives us an explanation about what happened to Soul Rory. Again, it's still jarring that the boss that interrupts is a golden alpaca, but to be fair, there are some strange bosses in other Earthboundlikes that occur during dramatic moments that still have an imposing air about them. At least it doesn't open by randomly yelling "lemonade!" this time. And they got Albert Wesker himself on board! That's always an advantage there.

      "The original scene was all about contrast. Specifically about how reality moves on despite what sort of personal tragedy you’re experiencing. A person can be absolutely miserable, and the world around them can be joking and irreverent. Completely careless to your misery. " - Andrew Allanson | But yeah the golden alpaca wasn't really connected into the plot in the original scene and felt more out of place.

    I like the individual elements of this scene, but it's when they come together that there's problems. Like for example the foreshadowing bit in the middle with Alex is cool, but induces whiplash because the attention is being suddenly ripped from Rory and Vella to Alex after like 8 minutes of focus on them. Either frame the entire cutscene from Alex's perspective with the additional occasional cut to his reactions so that we don't forget that Alex is our character of focus, or just cut out that Alex bit, as a shift from Rory and Vella to the whole group isn't nearly as baffling a transition. Also, seriously, fuck the shaky cam reactions. You can tell they're actively trying to make beats more emotional and raw but it just makes them goofy instead. I also get that feeling from some of Rory's crying sprites, but I won't cite that as an official complaint as I feel that this aspect is more subjective. I'll just say that, Steven Universe also had too much crying at all the wrong moments so I never felt what I was supposed to be feeling.

    To quote:
    "Obviously YIIK got a lot of flak, most notably with the whole Elisa Lam expy thing and the scene with the golden alpaca boss. But apparently they decided to update that scene with... the boss essentially lecturing the player for not understanding the plot.
    It's a lot to take in."

(and I argue new Golden Alpaca is better than the original, but that's a low bar to achieve)
      I also know they actually respond to the whole Elisa Lam thing after Twitter got it trending..again.

      The funny part about it is that people who say all those things don't even care or know about her which is exactly the point of the game.
      Also the devs made a story where most of the story happens in the subtext but most people only looked at the surface and decided the story is meaningless(even though the game literally has post modern in the title) so you can't blame them for trying to direct the players attention to the meta narrative.

      @@sonicplays8740 I agree that the long paragraphs are boring to read but again the MC doesn't need to "develop" there's already a story and he's not supposed to be the center. That's literally the point of the story, he's a meaningless loser who wastes your time giving you his opinion that is wrong in most situations because he thinks he's so smart and important. Part of his character is the trope of the unreliable narrator. I do agree that the monologues makes for a bad experience in terms of gaming but its so weird that people demand a typical, conventional story structure when the game itself is being clear that it's not what it's going for.
      This is actually why the writer was angry at the critics of the game. People want games to be art but they still hold games to way lower standards than any other media. There's a lot of movie where events either seems unconnected and meaningless (like once upon a time in Hollywood by Tarantino or gummo) and even movies where events are not happening in chronological order (like Nolan's memento where everything happens in reverse) but with a game people just say it's bad fix it instead of assuming it's an artistic choice. I'm not saying it has to be considered good but even though a lot of people hated the movie tree of life they still understood that the movie has a weird structure on purpose. There's bad things in the game but a lot of things are artistic choices made with a purpose.
      And the game doesn't need to feel real... Again the goal is to make a postmodern rpg. The world doesn't need to feel real. The reason there's so many weird shit is so that you ask yourself "what does this mean?" and start finding your own interpretation to all the info you get. It's not supposed to be a classic 3act rpg story. That's why it's called a post modern rpg to warn you that you shouldn't have those expectations but most people just dismisses that as the author being pretentious.

But when it's with a scene going over the suicide of a guy's sister, from that point onward I'm not sure what scenes I'm suppose to be taking serious now, because of the game can't handle a serious topic topic like that with maturity then I'm not sure what scene I should take seriously.

    Stíll, the surreal style feels uncomfortable and horribly stilted. There is still WAY too much dialogue, that all say the same thing, and it's STILL YIIK.
    YIIK is beyond saving. Professional writers and artists need to be hired, an entirely new combat system must be made. And the endings must be changed massively.
