Question about IGT

Why not use the IGT total that shows after credits as the official time?

That is what we are switching over to using, as we just got the access to the page yesterday, we are still in the process of setting everything up including the rules and how to time the game. We are also in the process of updating the times of the runs that need to go up, but that is how we are going to time the game moving forward.

The problem is that by going for the timer at the end, you're counting the final cutscene even though the game is already finished, which I find to be a bit of a shame. Idk, if we can get the devs to fix the time at the end it would be all gucci.

Thanks for the quick response. What exactly does "default starting pilot". I think it's any pilot with no previous timelines, but I just wanted to double check.

You would be correct, every run must be started with a fresh pilot.

Would a real time run still be accepted? I prefer having splits and comparisons.

You can, but you kinda need to show the time at the end and/or enable the in-game time as well.

While you can include a real time timer in your run, you will be place on your leaderboard by your in game time.

I like to use live split even though we're using IGT. If anyone else has been where do you end your splits? I've been doing it when "Mission Complete" pops up after the last battle on the first two islands, and I've been trying to start and end with the in game time. Which seems to be as soon as the screen starts to scroll down after starting. At the end it's after the bomb goes off and it shows the island.

Would be awesome if the in game time was a little easier to use with live splits. Would be really cool if we had an autosplit for the game too.

Yeah, it depending on how you decide to time it, it can be a bit weird, when the game came out, I used RTA and did the first two splits after I hit leave island, the last one was when the cut scene started to play after the last turn. There is really no good way to do RTA splits, so use what ever you feel like would be best, and you can judge how well your doing in a run through that.

Okay thanks Akers.

Anyone else notice that the in game timer is way off real time now?
