Rule

60 FPS Requirement

Suggested Change

Remove the FPS requirement.

Reasoning

Hello! I'm going to keep it concise for clarity. There are two reasons I think this rule should be removed:

1. Changing the Game's FPS Does Not Affect Gameplay (tricks, glitches, etc.)
2. 60FPS is Not Accessible to All Players

ProxySaw, one of the lead developers for the project, has confirmed that the game engine always operates at 20fps maximum, which makes this requirement unnecessary for preventing lag-based strategies from arising. The FPS setting only changes how the game looks, not how it plays.

Letting more runners make submissions is also good for a speedgame's overall community health - removing the FPS requirement would minimize hardware requirements so that more people can play :)

Thanks for your consideration,

Well written post.

I will straight up admit, I was wrong on the FPS. I will amend the rules. Hope to see you post a run!

Glad to hear! I'm learning from the beginner glitchless route atm, hoping to do a run this weekend!
