(Making this post cause I don't think it's appropriate to continue it in the 3ds thread.)
Spikestuff: "Hey, Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) speedrunners. Some major information that you might want to know. It looks like BizHawk is going to integrate PPSSPP for real in due time. So, if you want to TAS your PSP titles. It looks like it's coming.
Spread the word." -- https://bsky.app/profile/spikestuff.bsky.social/post/3lk3yeijuac2o
Our time is coming.
[ This will be the main discussion thread about changes to the leaderboard ]
A few days ago, the team behind Stretchmancer announced they're turning this silly prototype into a full game (you should totally go wishlist it on steam). This means some decisions need to be made regarding how the board is gonna be changed.
The current plan is to split the leaderboard in two, one for the demo and one for the full game, and turn the full game into the main leaderboard. The same split will be done to the levels, if possible, so they aren't all in the same area. Mockup below.
Timing also needs to be addressed. I can't make any assumptions on the start or end point, but if the run's longer than 5 minutes then timing will be done to the second instead of millisecond to make it easier. Only if the game becomes competitive enough to warrant milliseconds will I change it back to seconds.
Also, some new art was shown for the game, seems to be the only piece though. Might change it to the board background to look cool, in addition to changing the colors to match.
Wanted to show off the 3ds TAS I've worked on a bit, finishes City world. From what I can see, you can't exit to Seaside early, you have to play all the City levels. If anyone finds something faster please let me know so I can redo the section. Thanks, and happy new years!
