My runners in christ, Brothers, Sisters, Let it be known. Let it be shouted from the rooftops, SEGREGATE SLOW-MO!!!.

When you use slow mo, the in-game timer slows down. This presents obvious problems for this game as a speedrun.

I'd like to start by saying that i think we can all agree on the overall pace and feel of this game is MUCH different when using / not using Slow-Mo

to prevent the fundamental pace of the game changing i suggest we split any% runs into 2 categories, "Any%" and "Any% Slow-Mo"

With this update, we have the option to experience the game with or without Slow-Mo. Of course, we can always do "Any% No Slow-Mo" and "Any%", whichever way you guys want to do it.

Either way, if we dont end up splitting any% here, the playable experience of this game is going to be hugely limited. I think most of us agree that this change would be for the better.

RULESET CHANGES:

"Any%" - Complete the game without using Slow-Mo. Timer stops when the last level is finished, or the final boss is beat. (Currently, timer stops when the level "Nightmare" is beat.

"Any% Slow-Mo" - Complete all levels. use of Slow-Mo is permitted. Timer ends when the last level is finished, or the final boss is beat. (Currently, timer stops when the level "Nightmare" is beat.

Thought i'd post this here :)

Interested to see peoples high scores on this (max stats) My PB is 102, which requires ~14 Pterodactyl hits.

Pterodactyl comes every 15 seconds (50, 35, 20, 5) and gives 3 points.

there are about ~60 rocks on average, each giving 1 point.

the most Pterodactyl hits in a row ive got is about 5-6, so its definitely possible to get ~120 score

You can do some weird things with the FPC, and I’ll give some theory as to why I think they happen.

Firstly, I think it is safe to assume that the game does NOT want you moving in first person. you cannot walk while in FPC, as controlling the camera becomes mapped to the analog stick. It becomes more evident that movement is not intended in first person when you come into contact with slopes.

While on a doghouse or sign, you are able to go into FPC. Doing this will simply cause you to slide off of the slope and onto the ground below while remaining in FPC, and this is relatively normal. However, if you exit FPC while you are still sliding/on the slope, your player will become invisible. So far, it seems that this is purely cosmetic, and you still function as if you were visible. You are still able to collect items, enter loads and take damage as normal. In the first key door of world 2, there is a sign inbetween the two beginning trash cans, if you go into FPC while on the right sight of the sign, you will land on the small area of ground before the pit. If you exit FPC while on this spot of ground, you will be pushed into the pit. This has to do with the games horrible clipping and displacement mechanics. While in FPC you are able to be displaced inside the sign, and unable to be moved by the games readjustment. So when you go out of FPC and are able to be readjusted out of the sign, it pushes you into the pit.

Another displacement example can be done in world one. in the prison hub, if you jump into the railing surrounding the pit and go into FPC as you hit the ground, you will land inside the railing. When you exit FPC you can see that the character is nearly halfway inside the railing before being pushed back onto the ground.

I’m looking to run this game, and have already found strats that I’m assuming you were unaware of, once I finish learning this game and can complete a run, I’ll add to this post.

For now, I’ve made this for me and anyone else who’s looking to start running this game,

I wanna start with the jump in world 2 from the windowsill to the awning (bouncy window thing) on the other side of the street. I notice you press Z in the air to do a pound, why is that? For some reason I am having trouble making this jump, but when I pound I seem to make it. Does it actually make a difference?

I'd like to give one final thanks to Chris Johnson.

Here is the link to the Moirai build: http://cjohnson.id.au/games/full-games/moirai/

Glad to see our game back ;')

Mousekeys is a shortcut you can enable by pressing ALT+SHIFT+NUMLOCK Once activated, you can control the mouse using the numpad keys Numpad '7/home" = Moves mouse up and left Numpad "8/up' = Moves mouse up Numpad '9/pgup" = Moves mouse up and right Numpad "4/left" = Moves mouse left Numpad "5" = Left click once Numpad "6/right" = Moves mouse right Numpad "1/end" = Moves mouse down and left Numpad "2/down" = Moves mouse down Numpad "3/pgdn" = Moves mouse down and right

Numpad "+" makes the mouse left click twice

For some reason, when you have mousekeys enabled and press Numpad "5" or Numpad "+" it makes the runner go forward. Pressing Numpad "5" and Numpad "+" at the same time acts as 3 clicks, making the runner move forward 3 times.

this is a lot faster than normally using the left and right arrow keys.

This should clear everything up about mousekeys, if you have any questions feel free to ask

As you can see in St.Clairs newest time 0m 02s 800ms, he has his icons on his taskbar, but there is not a mousekey icon, which means that he didnt have mousekeys enabled.

It couldnt be any more obvious. Try this for yourself and mousekeys will ALWAYS show up. there is no excuse for this.

St.Clair should be banned from posting runs because he continually continues to cheat runs.

http://cjohnson.id.au/ Chris (the developer) semi-frequently posts updates on his current projects, as well as status updates.

Chris has done a lot for our community, and if you want to show your appreciation, you guys can email him a quick "thank you" at chris@cjohnson.id.au, I'm sure he would appreciate it.

If you want to support Chris through donations, the "Enjoy my games?" sidebar has different groups that Chris cares about, he would want the money to go there. My favorite one is "Animals Australia".

Please consider sending him an email, after having the chance to talk with him, it's clear how genuine he is. Let him know that his small contributions to our community are appreciated. Thanks everyone :)

"Hi Nick,

Sorry about the late response. Things have been a bit hectic lately.

I'll endeavour to prepare a special offline build just for the speed running community. It probably won't be ready for a week or two(possibly longer) as I'm pretty tied up with things at the moment.

Thanks for the email and your continual support.

Chris."

Chris has released his final update to Moirai, making the game unplayable. After reinstalling and launching Moirai the title screen looks like this: I'm assuming Chris, John, and Brad are satisfied with what the game has become and don't feel the need to spend money keeping the servers up anymore.

Running this game with you guys has been an amazing experience and seeing this game be pushed to its limits completely blew me away. Thank you to everybody who was part of this community, and the mods who helped make the Moirai community an easy one to join.

Thank you all. -Grundle

I thought it would be clearly obvious that the 3 second and 2 second times are hacked. I'll ask for any of the people with a sub 4 time to provide clear video evidence showing their keyboard and/or monitor. until then it should be clear that these times are not legit.

The logo in the top left should say speedrun.com if you have the same font as the one on the game cover it would be really easy to make a new one and have it look nice

Discussion on Strats, Changes, and most things regarding the 100% category should go here.

Discussion on Strats, Changes, and most things regarding the Any% category should go here.

Old runs will be kept where they are, but any new run that is submitted to the page is required to have the timer enabled, and it will be used for the runs official time.

First off, I'd like to apologize as i forgot to check my emails for Chris's response, he sent out an update on the 8th of April and I just read the email today. To enable the timer: set the launch options of the game to be --speed-run and it'll start with a timer in the top left corner.

If anybody needs help, just reply to this post and I'll show you how to get there.

Talked with chris, he is going to be adding the timer within a few weeks. He cannot promise when it will be done as he has other commitments. Really excited for this and how this will affect the runs, specifically Trollzorz1337.

Sent an email to Chris Johnson, the developer of this game asking if its possible to add an in game timer, and if he would be willing to update the game to add one. I also said that it would be fine if he released a second build separate from the steam version (on dropbox or something) that had the timer.

if you want to email him his email is at chris@cjohnson.id.au Please do not flood his email with shitty memes or spam, i dont want him to hate this community.

I used sony vegas's timestap in the second format and timed it the same way the world record is timed. The timer starts on the first frame the game fades to black, which is very subtle but if you compare it to the normal game you can see the difference. The timer ends on the frame the last dialogue box closes. I didnt need to make this video, as the timing was clearly off in the original post. Please stop verifying runs without actually going through the process of verifying itself. If you want me to time your run send me the youtube link and i will reply with the official time.
