Hi @NightKnight77, it has been a few years. Are you still interested in running a NG+ category?

Adding new categories sounds interesting to me, and doing well in NG+ would be challenging. My only concern about this ruleset is set-up time.

In most new game plus categories of other games, you may copy save files to retry from the start of new game plus, without having to beat the original game again. With how OSFE auto-saves so frequently though, and has console ports where it would be harder to manipulate save states quickly, each NG+ file would need to be prepared manually. So it sounds like a long category to run, especially Unseeded.

Another positive is that NG+ would be a unique challenge, since it does not overlap with the existing full-game-runs very much. Kind of like gathering all achievements in another category, or doing a run of one world for a short IL category.

Given the pros and cons above, do you still want to run NG+?
