I had finished a 23:03 but forgot to record lol. Sub 23 for sure doable with great luck. Aiming any lower would make me cry lol

Thank you bunches. Wish I read this before I started runs lol

EDIT Doesnt appear to be working. I figure its probably out of date with livesplit or something xD

I understand the low interest in running this game for most people. The random elements are very real. I can play the same battle 20 times and have a different outcome nearly every time even in short segments like the horation introduction. That along with the map changes(a huge issue for me) you never know where missions are located or which map your even on right away.

All my previously recorded runs were stopped at the bomb since I didnt notice this change before recording. I'll have some kind of completed run within the week to submit hopefully lol. I do wish to discuss strats with anyone else willing to run this amazing game. I've figured out a small sorta skip or alternative completion method for at least 1 quest already.

After I can get a respectable time in any% I plan to try permadeath any% if that could be a category. Without focusing much I was able to come close to a deathless run losing no important characters anyway. With some slowdown for caution this can be done without too many resets I think.

I've recently started running Pit People. With what I believe to be decent but not great luck and terrible routing I was able to come close to the any% record. While practicing I noticed the recent rule change. I 100% agree with this so I've reset all my times and going to restart my grind(wasn't far into it anyway). I would like to show my thoughts on this and maybe an addition change while the leaderboards are sorta empty. I was watching tricrow on youtube as the only finished runs I could actually find and noticed his load times are quite a bit faster than mine. Not much I can do about this for awhile but then I noticed this rule change.

When practicing after I ended my runs at the bomb I noticed my in game time on the file restarts back to before The Bear. Showing that the game doesnt think the run is finished in a way. After returning to town the time is updated at current position.

I'd like to propose that we use in game time instead of RTA to remove load times for runners with underwhelming hardware. It's already easily tracked in game and requires completion of the additional sprint after The Bear concludes.

I will be recording runs from now on with a split for both The Bear and the town ending as well as showing my in game timer on file after the time is finished. Here's hoping people can agree on game timer instead of RTA for any%. If not I'll accept my penalty for bad hardware and submit my times anyway.

Good luck :) Also hi! Lets talk about pit people strats sometime and help each other.
