I'd like to propose that the current 100% category be renamed to 16 Zoombinis, and that a new category of 100% be added that involves rescuing all 400 Zoombinis in one run.
I'm hoping to stream the true 100% run at some point. Gonna start with an easy to achieve goal of sub 8 hours.
All 400 was always an idea for a category; I'd love to add it now that somebody is showing interest.
Could make a specific 1 Zoombini category for your submitted run with a new rule set as well
Hello !
I'd like to have a category that is the closest to a "natural" run, where the player really has to solve the puzzles. That is :
- 4% (all 16 zoombinis have to get to the end, and no use of campsites)
- Full random generation
- Maybe differentiate up path and down path ?
What do you think ? I'd like to give a try for very very hard, even though just getting to the end with 16 zoombinis is already quite challenging
I saw the top and bottom and it confused me for a minute, but I like this idea of making different routes viable. I feel renaming them "Who's Bayou" and "Deep, Dark Forest" may be more clear. even adding the word "route" would make it more clear. North/South, Top/Bottom, Up/Down routes. Personally I like the map names the most.
I also like the idea of random generated teams vs non random.
The problem is having so many different categories leaving 0 to 2 runs at best in each.
Thats's a good idea, I'm gonna rename the categories :) About creating new categories, the question should be : "does anyone want to speedrun it ?". Danzel told me he didn't want to speedrun full game random runs, and I abandoned the idea to do so because of the bugs in very very hard. Would you want to run it ?
Ever since the game changed the speeds of zoombinis based on their feet like 2 years ago, random runs are a lot less fun and high Isle reset RNG. You should reset if you didn't have a majority of springs, and I think that makes for a bad run in itself. Personally outside of speedrunning, I always liked randoming more, but I don't think it has a place here. I think it's okay to draw the line at Top/Bottom routes for extra categories.
