Yes, I noticed the different mechanics when I "broke WR" in the demo on my first completion, because I was using ScummVM (using period to skip dialog)....

I guess the need to use quick dialog choices with the mouse could be a transferable skill, but I'm looking forward to using numbers with any%/swordmaster% instead!

OK, No worries. I'll try my hand at Swordmaster% instead of devoting any more time to the demo. I'll come and chat on the discord some time soon anyway.

Hi all, I thought I'd have a go at speed running the demo to dip my toes in
🙂.

My dilemma...
In the demo you can use F9 and F10 to record and play "demos" (I think that is what is happening). But you can kind of use it as a save state by recording a very short demo. Is it OK to use this to create a usable state at the start of the gameplay? This make it easier to restart a run, removing the need to change text speed each time.

You can see me using it in this video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15szO4XeijM6Yj8zcqvkkerpFdnagObWa/view?usp=sharing

If it is OK to use this functionality to start a run, I'll edit the PB I recorded in that footage and submit it to the leaderboard.

Otherwise I presume it is OK to use F8 to restart the game for runs?

Also, I need to double check the fine details, but this is a description I have written of the "route" for the demo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UGLziQVpxakjgo_q7tup8rcnZN7ks3O3/view?usp=sharing
(I can tidy it up so it can be added to the Guides section, if this is desirable)
