California, USAHey so the mod of the game DragonFable hasn't been on in a month, and I don't really know of a way to contact them efficiently as they only have their YT and Twitch on their profile. If there is anything else I should try before hand let me know, I just want the run I did verified. I'm willing to wait a while longer since it's not too important to me. I just wanted to bring it up now. There have been a lot of cases where my messages just don't go through on YouTube so I have no idea if it'd even be seen, I should add. Thanks.
Hello, I'm CriticaL and have you ever wanted to speedrun a DS game series developed by 5th Cell and published by THQ? I know I have!
If you want a new game to speedrun Drawn to Life is a pretty fun series to run (though not the fastest maybe you can make help make it faster!) I am here to answer any questions you may have about the series and speedrunning the games in it!
Q: When you refer to "Main Series" what do you mean? A: Drawn to Life and Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter for DS are the main series titles as they are the only ones actually developed by 5th Cell. We see the Wii version and Spongebob game as more of a spinoff.
Q: Why is the first game not being ran often? A: We are currently working on routing the any% run, as well as I have been constantly trying to find skips or just some way to lose a LOT of time because it is a long run.
Q: What is the fastest game in the series currently? A: Drawn to Life: Spongebob Squarepants Edition is currently the fastest.
Q: Why does no one run the Wii version of TNC? A: It's some what boring, and because of that it's a little intimidating to get in to and try to make a more fun run out of.
Q: Are emulated runs allowed? A: Yes, the emulator we allow is DeSmuME because it is clear that most people can't speedrun this game on console easily due to recording and streaming incapabilities without a DS capture or similar thing.
If you have any other questions you want to ask you can join the discord and ask there! I'll update this post as time goes on.
I am genuinely trying to get this series more active and hope people can find interest in it!

Update: I've done a 1:59:44 but the video got corrupted.
Obviously confirms it's possibility but I have to do it again. :P
I mean obvious troubleshooting stuff like redownloading LiveSplit, or making sure it's the most up to date version of it. Regardless, I hope everything gets worked out with your LiveSplit problems! Good luck with your future speedruns!
Nice to meet you, hope you enjoy your time here! Happy running!
Good luck with the kickstarter Jan, I hope your game gets funded.
I personally use OBS to stream, I assume you have tried several different methods of capturing the screen within OBS? (Window Capture, Game Capture, Display Capture) As well as how are you running the game, is it windowed, fullscreen, etc.
As for Link's Awakening DX you have to ask the people over there about that, and see if it is in the rules for their game. :)
I used to play that game as a kid in computer class. Anyways, welcome to the community and good luck with future runs!
