I know, I was speaking to what @ekornene said. Having them separated by Normal/ Hard and Easy categories is weird. Nothing about what you said, @golderzoa sorry if I confused you
So why would there need to be a separate categorization of Minimal Items? The fastest category would likely be easy-mode/ bad ending. Why would those be separate?
Yeah, now that I know that all of the flags only stay so long as your game is turned on, I definitely don’t think it’s a viable means of “NG+” or whatever logistical name we would give it. In terms of splitting the leaderboard, I don’t really have any concern with something like that. I’d rather something be “fair” than “popular”. But given the flags go back to being not triggered as soon as the game closes, I’d definitely same I’m on yours and Peri’s side in that it’s not worth the amount of effort that would have to be put in to make the logistics of the board happen because yes: that would be a nightmare for mods.
I also hope I’m not coming off as rude. ;-; I just don’t agree with the NG+ line of thinking.
I did not know that the flags go away right after you close the game. I’m out, in that case.
But I won’t change my opinion about the NG+ thing. I don’t think cutscenes behaving differently/ not being there is enough to qualify NG+. The gameplay isn’t behaving any differently. But that’s not here or there because it doesn’t work the way I thought it does!
I don’t like the idea of it being “New Game+”. It’s the same game. Having to play through the game once beforehand is just as simple as doing a runthrough of the game anyway. Don’t the cutscenes and text get skipped just by 1 file having those scenes already seen? If that’s the case, everybody has the exact same opportunity to have that advantage.
I know this thread is p old, but I’m for not re-opening the game. I think it’s kind of arbitrary or like. Tradition for the sake of it? Like. If everybody could cut out as many cutscenes as possible, why wouldn’t we? And honestly for practice it’s just faster since you don’t need to start it up over and over.
Can't wait to see what you come up with and to see your runs! :)
Hey, Lava! Glad to see you around these parts.
Fwiw, there are only two death abuses in the entire Any% run. Iirc, there are less in 100%. If you really are set on playing the game deathless, I think dresdun was setting up something similar a couple of months ago. I think he was working on “damage-less”?
The forums are a good start for this kind of topic, but I’d suggest fleshing this out and getting real answers (such as when can you make this category a reality) in the Discord. Things will happen much quicker and there will be better communication. The Discord is located in the resources tab of this srcom page.
Happy running!
