Category suggestions! :D

Im not sure if anyone's gonna see but I have some category suggestions. First of all, New Game+, if you beat the game, New Game+ will be unlocked, and I think it would be a cool idea. Next is single bosses, trying to defeat the boss as fast as possible or trying to get to the boss as fast as possible. These could be added as individual levels. Next would be something like get 5000 coins as fast as possible. If you decide to add any of these, I'd like for you to add me as a mod or at least give credit of some sort.

Thanks for the suggestions! At the moment we aren't really hurting for different runs for players to try, but New Game+ has been suggested to me multiple times. If we do add more categories it might be one of the first ones we add.

There's all sorts of categories you can make for rogue legacy, and really all games in general. Some of those ideas, like 5000 coins already have similar categories (lvl 20 is like 4100 coins iirc). The single bosses are really short and boring runs that pretty much all come down to RNG (except herodotus), and while some categories that are currently not on the leaderboard are good, they often lack interest to warrant having a leaderboard anyways. Zors has done tons of runs like zero death, tanooki%, etc., which are not on the leaderboards simply because he's the only one running them. I greatly encourage you to try out new categories for fun, practice, or racing on speedrunslive, but just because a category can exist, doesn't mean it needs to be on the leaderboard (yet). People often browse speedrun.com when they are exploring new games they don't know much about, so having the leaderboard contain the runs that are the most entertaining is the best way to showcase the game. Accessibility and many other factors all play a part in deciding what should be on the leaderboards. If a category you suggested, like complete NG+2 from a blank save, became more popular, I'm sure we could add it, but at the moment I don't think it's necessary and it's best to keep it how it is now.
