Good afternoon noon everyone sorry to bother you all but figured I'd pass this along to you all. I'm not admin for it (Well technically I am but am just doing more of the let's pass along info role). Anyway:
Hey folks, Licenseathon is back and we'd love to have your licensed game speedruns at our event! This year's event runs from July 30-August 1 and submissions are open from NOW until the end of May.
For those who don't know, we're an online marathon focused on licensed video games specifically. Many games in this meta-genre are rather under-represented in the speedrunning community, and we want to highlight as many of these games' speedruns as we can!
These are games based on an existing franchise, like movies, TV shows, and celebrities. If you want a good idea of what sort of games count as licensed, check this page: https://www.giantbomb.com/licensed-game/3015-1098/. It's not a comprehensive list, but should give you a good idea of the games we accept.
We also have a FAQ on our website that addresses some common questions around our marathon.
- If you'd like to showcase a run, sign up at https://oengus.io/marathon/licensed21
- Anyone interested in helping the marathon with restreaming, moderation, or other staff roles can apply on our website at https://www.licenseathon.live.
- Join our Discord community here: https://discord.gg/8fk9jsh
- You can find our Twitter, Twitch, and Youtube pages on the website as well.
If you want to participate or are just curious, stop by our Discord server!
As I said I felt I should pass this along since I'm a fan of anime based games and series and thought I'd pass the info along in case anyone wanted to submit a game.
I didn't wants to post the information on every forum for each game so figured I'd post it here though I'm not sure how many people check this, but if there's a community Discord for the speedrun community please pass along the info there. (Didn't want to join when I'm just passing along info as it just didn't feel right.)
