Improvements to the leaderboards

Madrid, Spain

Hello robby, this game is very good and Im glad that it got accepted (finally, since it was rejected in 2021). The ILs have a lot of potential, however the board needs some improvements.

First of all, the division of IL categories in 10 level intervals seems a bit arbitrary which is a bit disappointing in my opinion. Now that there arent many runs you can still change the boards without a lot of trouble. I have a few suggestions:

#IL changes:

  • You can divide by worlds and in each world put each minigame with the corresponding levels. For example, youd make a World 1 IL and then all of the minigames (Mad drive world 1, recoil world 1 etc) as other ILs. That way the division wouldnt be that arbitrary, the board would look better and we would have a “full world” category. This, in my opinion, is the best way.

  • You can do the same as before but instead of making each minigame a level you could make them a subcategory for the world level using variables. I dont suggest it though since its harder to navigate

  • You can have each minigame separated (Mad drive, speed king, longcate) each of them as their own level and rename the categories to “Parts” so each category includes the levels of a minigame contained within a world. For example, mad drive part 1 would be the world 1 levels, speed king part 1 would be the world 2 levels etc. This wont look that good though.

Another thing that needs a change is the rules and this is a change that you can also apply to the other game you mod:

#Full game rule changes:

  • You dont need to mention that hacks arent allowed, its in the site rules

  • In the game rules, you should add the video quality and framerrate requirements (you dont have to be very specific) and what things need to be shown (level counter, show you entering the first level of the run…) as well as wether or not audio is required.

  • The current starting frame isnt very ideal as the level comes from fade out to fade in which is very tricky (and saying “when it starts loading” isnt very clear). You dont have that many runs to retime so I suggest changing the starting frame to the moment the blue “play” button from the menu is not visible.

  • For the end frame, theres nothing currently. I suggest ending time in the first frame that the white circle appears.

#Level rules changes

  • For the level rules, you could specify from which level to which you have to play.

#Other:

  • One last suggestion would be to remove regions. Theres no NTSC/USA version of the game

I know theres a lot of text so sorry for that. Ill join the discord and you can contact me there if you need any help, you want me to explain further or you want any advice. Thank you fro bringing this game to the site
