ScotlandHey folks - i feel like alot of you guys are wondering why your runs havn't been approved - i just got given mod for the game - Ideally i don't want to moderate for it, im here to make sure that runs keep being approved but im not familiar with the run like some of you other guys might be, So if anyone wants to take over the moderation of the board let me know <3 can add you guys in to it
unwatchable sadly, wanted to see what they did.
I always like to recommend swamp fever cuz its got a bit of everything - learning events on map 1, a good line to learn bhopping down to the river, the stumble (on 2.0.0.0) the adrenaline/water management, the god spot that requires you to leave allies alive to TP back to.. Like its obviously not to say its the best to learn THE GAME but IMO it covers ALOT of the fundamentals in a very short span of time
or if the game removes character control (minimap shows the eye of sauron)."
Disagree - the game is effectively playing - not loading or otherwise interfering, timer should still be running - cutscenes do not fly for pauses in 99% of games. Loss of character control should only apply to a stopped timer if its the end of the run (whereby losing control of the character signifies the end of the run - not being able to play the game after cutscene/loss of control ends)
I had to put a LOT of hours in to get those times, its crazy how execution heavy the run is haha, appreciate it man ! I just prefer discord as a talking method + its easier to talk about things for me (i rarely check forums i was already on SRC when these notifcations came through haha)
But yeah - even if you are the only person to run it, please do do runs! id love to see it !
Probably the fact no one really cares about them/did them if i had to take a stab
Join the discord we can chat about it easier that way :)
i had PLANNED to do a "heroic" one but i must admit after the clean sweep i just kind of moved on lmao
Honestly the best way to speedrun this game is start the timer and go - the lack of massive tricks and focus on execution makes the run extremely beginner friendly with a very quick to learn route :)
Best way to learn is to watch the WR and just see how it does things and start following along.
To get started - you'l want to download Livesplit - theres a bunch of tutorials around the web and youtube on getting that installed and set up for your purpose - Since the game is pretty straight forward you don't need to worry about splits - the timer itself should be enough :)
whilst im not the super mod so i can't pass like a tangible judgement - typically speaking if theres a run for a category in other games i mod im down to add them, however for something like "one handed" that definitely seems like a category extension/misc than a main board addition, hope this helps, feel free to reach out to Nordic!
i did notice herberts smidge of RNG - i was wondering what times there was affecting that ! I wasn't aware of fps affecting the game - is it an option on PC i uhh.. never checked lmao i only swapped audio around XD Either way, GGs impressive time either way ! <3
well now that its finally up XD (im very busy atm no time to watch) run me through whats different <3
well ill be dammed cuz i checked a few times and it definitely felt slower on my end :( maybe its a transitional screen thing, either way fair enough !
yeah was really cool! they are super cool guys! I look forward to coming back if major skips are found !
I can confirm that if you fail a sequence it replays that part of the loop :) The devs showed up in my stream when i was doing a practice run and commented on that i was the first person they'd seen go the whole way through it immediately
When you set it to window mode - you should be able to change the resolution size - it resizes it to pre-set amounts but hopefully theres a happy medium for the resolution and splits on the side - not something i had to deal with because i have 2 monitors sorry
The route is pretty straight forward :) there isn't really any major skipping (yet) so just play the story as quickly as possible - The one major note i have is when you first enter big rons shop, and hes talking about how you need to go to sams hams, you can leave early - don't do that, if you leave early theres a different dialogue line that takes a second or two longer - its a very minor timesave but i noticed it felt impactful :)
contacted the site, thank you XD easy mistake to make at the time, don't worry,
also, super cool to see someone come to the game and find a skip as well! amazing <3
If you like this game theres a couple of other games by this dev team in the discord server linked on the page! be glad to have you ^^
