I think all the answers to your questions are in the category rules
Ok, little clarifications/confirmation on secret things.
Definitely excludes:
- Job completion rewards
- Task completion rewards
- Anything purchasable from clothing, vehicle, or pet shops
- Museum collection completion rewards
- Christmas Seasonal Event rewards
This leaves a couple little things.
- Some things can only be found by starting the mission but aren't necessary to complete it, for example, the Sofa Car for A Sleepy Adventure, the Hamster Ball for The Lost Scientists/Repair The UFO, and the Gemstone Hat for An Ancient Mystery. Since the UFEgg was brought up I imagine that things like that are therefore confirmed as Secrets.
- Do things referenced in the achievements count? The Ghost pet, and technically the Monster pet are unlocked along with an achievement, so does that mean that they aren't secret enough? Personally, I think they still are, but I want to hear for sure or not.
- Does the Quiz outfit count as a secret, since you could play the quiz a dozen times without getting it as a prize?
- The Water Balloon Tank is technically from a variant of the Fire Fighter job at the Jungle Military Base, but it's harder to start due to only being available at certain times. I interpret it as obscure enough to be a secret, but, again, thoughts? Similar territory to the Alien Outfit since it's only from a pizza job from a specific time I suppose.
- Finally, do present rewards count as secrets? Feels like half the list of secrets are these.
Despite seeming like a potential mission in every way, the sword puzzle and its rewards should still count as a secret, right? It's the kind of thing that I do wonder might potentially change in the future, like how Finding Proof of Aliens and Find The Baby Spider were retconned as tasks, but for now, probably fine. Hoping the Dancing Crab hat secret never does either.
Been messing around with a split order for a Secrets run but want to be sure all the right bases are covered :)
To be fair, I would consider it on the same 'secret' level as the UFO as well. Its a task reward technically, which doesnt make it a secret, just trickier to get compared to other task rewards
Hell, just tell me how I've done lol
For ref, these are the pets I have noted as 'secrets'. Defined by the whole not task or museum collection related or buyable. What do you think?
You're right about what constitutes as secrets being different now. On the wiki I decided to remove the section on rewards for completing museum collections from the secrets page because I came to the conclusion that completing the museum wasn't really secret enough. Mission/Task rewards too with that.
Would secrets be considered as every outfit/pet/vehicle that doesn't come directly from a job, task, or able to be bought? Would have to exclude the seasonal outfits of course, but other than that it does have a good few things to grab. If you ever want to go through a list together I have many thoughts. All Possible Objectives also could use some definition with all the tasks that there are now as official 'objectives'. All of them are relatively easy to do in one big chunk, but one of them being catching all the different fish they are is the most cursed one for sure. Kinda similar structure as All Jobs tbh, with it's own challenges because of needing to afford clothing/props for certain ones, or how a night needs to pass/game needing to be save/exited to trigger the next Detective mission.
Sorry to also dump my thoughts, but I hope it gives yours credence.
You know the drill lol v0.9.1 has two new jobs: Artist Job and Weather Researcher Job. I've been trying to get a good All Jobs run on and off for months but I'm going to have to experiment more than practice now. Ah well. Anyway it's a good time, lots of fun. Everyone check it out :)
Back to 1st! You do really well when there's competition lol
It only came out 2 months ago it's quite fresh and new dw :)
For a blind run you did great, proud of you for persevering through the gauntlet as well. It's so good going back to the first map after that one lmao
I don't personally play on PS4/PS5 but now that it is out on those platforms it might be an idea to add that as an option.
Cool, thank you! I know Wobbly Run is fine to play single player and has 10 courses, so I could probably make runs out of those for examples. Gonna see if I can do some practicing and provide some more runs for the other categories too, though I think 100% is beyond my patience on my own.
Heya, reaching out after the latest update brought this new big new game mode to the game. Some of the minigames that are in it seem very suited for speedruns - Wobbly Run having a timer - so would it be considered adding some more categories? Also, not very familiar with speedrun.com details but if a dev wanted to submit a time for it as well is that breaking a rule? Cheers :)
