About the rules and possibly new categories
5 years ago

Im' trying to improve my time on the current category. Meanwhile I just wanted to share a few things and give some ideas.

  • The name of the category will be changed to "BEAT THE GAME - EASIEST LEVEL". Everything else remains the same.

ABOUT THIS CATEGORY:

  • This is the easiest category. Simple beat the game on easiest level, WUSSY, until we have enough runners to think about other levels, for now easiest level is ok.

  • All Glitches are allowed

  • Player can use continues and lives. Because this is the way the game is intended to be played. You can die easilly (if not on enemies, you can die on hazards) so that's why you have plenty of lives. So you can die and continue from where you died.

  • You can't use Loads though. Because using load games, there's no garantee that the loaded game would bring extra items, medpacks and stuff.

  • So player has to Start a New Game and cannot load games and use cheats.

======

ABOUT NEW CATEGORIES:

I'm thinking about new category = "ALL WEAPON UPGRADES" which means you have to finish the game taking all the Surprise Items. And going into the bonus for get all weapon upgrades. This would be a lot of fun! Cause it adds a new feature. All weapons become very powerful and would kill enemies and bosses faster. This is not a cheat. As you'd have to legit complete the bonuses.

ABOUT "ALL WEAPON UPGRADES" CATEGORY:

  • The player would not need to access all secret areas. This is not a 100% category. You just need to get all weapon upgrades.

THE WEAPON UPGRADE BONUS

  • When you take the surprise item during the stage, at end of this stage you go to the weapon upgrade bonus.

  • In each bonus you have a multiplayer split screen stage with a bunch of enemies that you have to kill before the clock ends and exit by the portal. You kill all enemies and get to the exit portal before clock ends and one of your weapons is upgraded.

IMPORTANT:

  • The bonus work with a clock that stops either if you failed the bonus or when you successfuly completed and killed all enemies and exit through portal.

  • Once you're in the bonus, You have to either fail the bonus by waiting for the time to end, or you can kill all enemies before time's up and exit

  • You can't scape the bonus otherwise, because it would be cheating the time.

Let me know what you guys think about everything!

If we're going to split it up according to difficulty levels, then we could just use "Wussy%" so it corresponds with the in-game names But to be honest, I don't see much sense in it, since there's not even 5 people interested in the game I could see Death Wish% being a thing but there's no reason to play on the middle difficulty levels

The weapon upgrade run could work(maybe Surprise% or something like that), the Super Eagle/Shotgun are pretty useful in a run like that. One interesting thing about the challenge stages: whatever weapon you were holding (as in Duke has to be actually holding it in his hands) when you enter the portal on the level before will have its ammo restored to maximum

also, we can't really do a "100%" with all secret areas anyway because the secret area count is wrong on some of the levels (Family Jewels and Pig Factory seem to show one extra secret at the end of the level and I haven't seen anyone have "all" the secrets)

One idea I had was that since the game tracks in-game time, we could add it to the rankings

The ingame time has been added to leaderboard. With the real time still mantained by default. (I don't even know how to time in game. Never done it)

About the leaderboards splits titles I think you are right. I think change to Wussy% is more appropriate, I was thinking about that just after I created this thread honestly.

Also Surprise% would be more feasible. Since Surprise% would mean you just have to take the surprises and finish bonus, but if you fail the bonus and not get the weapon upgrade it is ok (as long as you complete the bonus time) you don't lose the run.

As for Death Wish%, if you feel interested I can create one. I for now think that we would need more competitors around if we will have categories for difficulties instead of having plenty of empty categories with no runners =(. But if you want to give a try on death wish just lemme know.

BTW, Good to know that the weapon you hold in challenge stage gets the ammo restored to maximum. I didn't remember that

As for the 100% 1 or 2 stages have less secrets than it shows at the end, but it would only be a matter of setting which ones.

We can though decide where the Surprise% will be, more a medium difficulty or we leave it wussy anyway? Since we will have more porwerful weapons we could increase a little bit.

There are 4 level difficulties

WUSSY GET SOME LET'S GO DEATH WISH

Which one you think is okay for Surprise%?

Remember; We have to get surprises and finish every bonus time (either you get the weapon upgrade by portal or lose the bonus by time ending)

I can create the Surprise% category right away if you're ok with the rules. If you want to add something, just tell me.

For In-Game Time just add up all the stage times at the end of each level from the video

I would leave Surprise% on Wussy, too. It makes for better comparisons that way and maybe some time later when there would be more people we could make a Surprise - Death Wish% kind of thing.

But probably changing the rules to require actually getting all the upgraded weapons would make sense I think. If you wait for the time to run out the time loss is significant and if you get killed there's a give up option and using that would obviously be against the rules so we might as well make it that way.

UPDATE:

You are right. My bad, I've just Checked and when you die on challenge levels you have the options to give up

And there's no way to skip the bonus other than COMPLETING or GIVING UP

So, GIVE UP >> In this category will be banned. Since the category would be pointless.

So we have to complete it

Runner must keep trying til he get the challenge (I've checked and If he loses all continues it's Game Over)

I will be creating the category soon. As I will start routing tonight.

I think the category name should be All Weapon Upgrades% since the runner must get all weapon upgrades anyway. And runner has plenty of continues as you can see, and challenges (specially on wussy) are not that hard once you route it.

If you guys want to add something just let me know
