Good afternoon. sorry to bother you all but I wanted to pass along the info for this:
"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!"
Look I'm a fan of games based on anime and manga both of which are really under represented when it comes to showing off the speedruns in a marathon setting so I wanted to at least pass along the info to the speedrun communities that run those types of games.
It just didn't feel right posting on the community discord or on each game in a series but still if anyone wouldn't mind passing along the info to the rest of the community Discord. As someone who also speedruns a few games based off anime I just felt it was worth passing along the info.
