  • a comprehensive guide to running the category, both in text and in video form, for new and even currently active runners
  • documentation for all non-deprecated routes and strats
  • a knowledge base that can easily be updated with new strats and information
  • a place to store all resources for the game/category (the Google Drive folder)
  • a way for everyone to share their game knowledge If all goes well, when this tutorial is complete, everything we know about speedrunning this category is going to be documented, for everyone to easily access and understand.[section=The Structure of the Tutorial]The tutorial will be available in both text and video form. The written tutorial is in the Spreadsheet, the videos are uploaded to the GTA Marathon YouTube account (no videos are ready yet).

The tutorial is divided into segments. Each segment has its own Sheet in the spreadsheet. You can see them at the bottom of the page. In the segments, there one or more missions. The route varieties are documented as well, if there are any. The point of the segmentation is that the tutorial can be easily expanded/modified this way.

You can find links to resources in the Spreadsheet.[section=How to contribute to the Tutorial]The point of this tutorial is that it is a community effort, with everyone's knowledge included. For this reason, everyone is encouraged to contribute to the tutorial.

You can get editor access for the Google stuff by either...

  • sending me a Twitter DM (everyone can) / Twitch pm / Discord message with your email
  • posting a comment in the Spreadsheet (http://i.imgur.com/fGedf4T.png) With the editor rights, you will be able to upload files to the Drive and edit the Spreadsheet. I will add you as soon as I can.

There are STANDARDS for contributing to the tutorial, please follow those. I have also made a Segment Sample sheet, and I finished the current route for Segment1, you can use that as an example.

You don't have to sign up for doing the text tutorial, but you need to for the video tutorial so that we avoid multiple people doing the same work.[section=The plan for the Tutorial / ToDo list]

Discord link to the super secret lobby allows me to neither read or say things in Discord, nor does it make the channel appear in the list on the left.

You have to request access to that room if you want to contribute, just send me a Discord message and I'll sort it out.
