Where are the Old Versions?

Hello! You may have noticed some changes to the Die in the Dungeon Speedrun.com Leaderboards.

In order to help better organize various game versions and categories, subcategories, and annotations, we've separated the older versions from the general Any%, Death% etc. categories and into their own Misc. Category Types. Just click the dropdown on the right side of the category selection to find them again.

I think this helps to organize and clear up the leaderboards in a way that makes more sense.

All of the speedruns have been migrated to their new homes, which was a lot of touching and editing. Great care was taken, but if you are worried about any of your runs being orphaned or metadata being incorrect, please reach out via DM or Discord.

What are all these old versions?

NextFest Demo

The NextFest Demo was a free demo released on Steam from June - November 2024. It is no longer available. There are three subcategories for the leaderboard Any%, Score%, Death%

Origins

Die in the Dungeon: Origins was a free Prologue/Demo released on Steam December 2023. It is no longer available to download on steam, but is still free to play on itch.io: https://atico.itch.io/die-in-the-dungeon-origins

There are three available categories of speedrun: Any%, Death%, Floor 50

CLASSIC

Also called Die in the Dungeon: Prologue, Die in the Dungeon: CLASSIC is an updated version of the original game-jam project that was released on Steam and on Itch in January 2023. The game is no longer available to download on Steam, but is still available on itch.io: https://alarts.itch.io/die-in-the-dungeon

There are 4 categories available: Any%, Score%, Death%, and Floor 50

1.0.0-1.4.0

This is the older builds of Die in the Dungeon, originally submitted for the January 2021 Brackeys Game Jam.

Older versions don't have an endscreen, time is calculated by external programs. Timer should start at the same time it does in newer versions.

What's Next?

Stay tuned! We have so many runners and runs on the leaderboard! There are quite a few people pioneering first WRs in various subcategories and annotations. I think we'll need to look into breaking the main categories up very soon. Thankfully, the organization just completed with the older game versions will make this much easier.

This means there will be that many more (official) first places!

New Milestones!

D1 Speedruns - Arson_Lupin kicked off the D1 Leaderboard, and then SmolWheat took it a step further with some impressive Lisver times!

Discord hates my long posts, so I had to break up the Any% Hall. Or I may move them to a forum post here...
