I posted on the Don't Escape series forum with this idea and no one has responded or looked at it other than me, so I'm posting it here, too. I was thinking that a good idea for a category would be a full trilogy since all three of the original games are in the same launcher on Steam, or all 4 games. There could be an Any% category where it's just beat all of the games back to back as fast as possible and a 100% category which would probably have to be more strictly defined. I don't know who else would be up for it seeing as the community is mostly inactive, but I think it would be a fun addition that I'd like to route/run.
I am not sure how many people would be up for this or where we would put the category, but seeing that all of of the original trilogy and Don't Escape 4 are on Steam I figured that maybe some runs could come out of this. A Trilogy run seems like an easy idea since they're all in the same launcher on steam, but I think that doing one with the whole series could be fun. I just wanted to pitch this idea to the community and see what everyone's thoughts were about this potential run idea.
There could be different categories like 100% where you complete all of the 100% requirements for each game in order, and Any% where you just complete all of the games as fast as possible back to back. I think it would be a nice add on for those interested.
I have been into this series for a very long time and just recently got into speedrunning and was happy to find that there is a leaderboard for this game. I was hoping to do some niche categories as well as Any% and wanted to see if there are any active community members that I could discuss new categories with.
