Some ideas that I've had so far are a 100% and a All vinyl run (those might be the same thing depending on if steam achievements can be included in a 100% run).
Another topic that may become relevant soon is the topic of which version to run. With the devs working on fixing some of the bugs (a good example being the infinite Astral mode glitch, which the devs have mentioned specifically) some versions may be faster or slower by nature. Would we want to make sub categories for these new versions or just collectively agree on a specific version to use?
Note: whatever consensus we come to does not have to be final. We can let these categories and sub categories be as dynamic or as static as we want.
My current thoughts are that I'd rather play a softlock free version than have access to the infinite astral glitch.
I've had great runs die due to softlocking in the glowy orbs in the last room, but also due to a moving platform in Chapter 3 not spawning.
Edit: As Flight is patched, I guess Any% will be played on v1.0 and Current Patch be a second category. (Right now looks like any non-1.0 will be glitchless)
Personally I don't like glithed runs. I think it's better at least to have a glitchless speedrun and a glith one.
Personally would love another category for Any% now that Infinite Astral has been patched. WR is unattainable given the current category runs, so maybe Any% Current Patch or Any% Glitchless?
yeah i think the main category now should be just "Any%" (current version, no infinite astral) and there should be another category called something like "Any% Unrestricted" where you can use that version and that glitch
Problem with a "Current Version" category is that it gets all messy with 1 patch. Separating by glitches is a little more future-proof.
Alright, it seems the consensus here is to make a new category, although I'm going to make a google form and post it in the news category just to be sure the majority of people running this game want the new category. Keep an eye out on that news tab.
Looking forward to any categorys added for the future :) Fan of running all of em
I want to point out that it's by no means impossible to play on patch v1.0 if you wish to go for the record with the flight glitch. You can downpatch your steam game. (Here's a guide on how to do it, you just need to swap out the AppID to 1568400)
I also have the exe from itch.io that is directly launchable without any downpatching, in case the itch.io version has been updated to current patch as well. Since the game is free, I would assume that there is no harm in sharing the zipped game folder directly if anyone needs it.
Since the major growth this past week, Slack, Zyrumi, and I are going to add some new categories. The community has shown interest in both a 100% and a Chair% categories. We plan to make this happen, but we still need to work out some of the kinks in the rules. (Glitches or no glitches, what counts
