Howdy, me and @MASH started up a discord for Simple 2000 series speedruns since we noticed there isn't one for basically any of them yet. The plan is to have a hub for anyone who runs games in this series. I've made some channels to talk about Demolition Girl since I thought having a place to strategize would be helpful.

Here is an invite to it https://discord.gg/C5g44CsG , it's a 7-day invite but I'll update it to a more permanent one this weekend

Hi, it seems @Amei has been banned for some reason. We assume this is related to this run submission: https://www.speedrun.com/na/run/zx63568z

To someone not familiar with the board this might look like spam, but its a regular submission that has a place holder video. The rejection message should also clearly show this wasn't a serious issue, and we were simply waiting for him to upload his VOD.

Amei is a Super Mod for Automata and we talk between mods very regularly. I'm not sure what site rule was broken but a temp-ban seems like a bit of an overstep here.

As with Drakengard 3, I'm making this new thread so that there is a place on this site to announce and discuss changes. Most of the talk will happen on Discord, but I'd like to keep a secondary record here.

First off, I've changed the rules to allow for emulator runs of the game. With the current number of runners this game has, I see no reason to place any barriers to entry. Emulator runs have their own variable at the moment (similar to how Nier does it). I prefer this method over having PS2 and EMU listed next to each other.

Second, I have added a guide which consists of my notes on Neurotik's 2:05 run. It has the general route and some select notes, but still needs some improvement.

Lastly, I've added the Drakengard Speedruns Discord to the page. This is the same Discord server being used for DOD3 which is run by @MASH (and me). Smaller details about rules and runs will be discussed on Discord first, and videos/streams will be linked there.

Recently I took over as moderator after @Kerngesund stepped down and @speedwerd was inactive. In the time since there have been a few changes to this page.

First, there is now a Drakengard Speedrun Discord server which is led by @MASH and I (mainly MASH). The hope is for it to be an easier entry point to the game(s) and serve for more casual conversation.

Second, I've uploaded a save file which has maxed out everything, including the bloodstained intoner garb. I plan to add details on usage soon, but it's not too complicated. I've also made a copy of Kerngesund's [A] route guide which I will keep unmodified and in the original guide for now. Any changes made will be put under a different link in the same guide.

Third, we are looking to have a functioning discord bot within to help with general things and useful functions. At the moment the bot is working but is very bare bones while things are being worked on. Once it is at a point where it will be useful, it will be online 24/7. Fingers crossed.

Last, there have been talks of adding IL runs soon. Hopefully that will get fleshed out in the coming weeks. I'm hoping that IL runs will lead to more optimized routes for the full game, as well as a way to be involved without committing multiple hours.
