So, the issue has come up once again about Real-Time versus IGT. I've made a strawpoll for it, and I heavily suggest all runners weigh in with their thoughts

For those who aren't on the Discord server, this will come as sudden news, but the game is now officially divided between glitchless (No Glitches) and Glitched runs. By default, all current runs have been tagged as Glitched. If your top run is a currently a glitched run but you would like to submit a glitchless run, now is the time to do so. As I write this, I am about to head to bed, and I'm prepared to wake up tomorrow to verify a lot of runs. This is also your time to try and quickly grind out the best glitchless time you can, for those of you who have used glitches from the start (if you're interested in doing so, of course).

---Quick FAQ for questions I've anticipated---

Q: How do I know which category my run is? A: If your run uses any glitches, including DD, Skip Bunnies, and any future glitches discovered, it will have to be in Glitched. This does mean that Skip Bunnies runs will be grouped in with DD runs, since defining runs individually per-glitch would fragment the leaderboard too small.

Q: My run doesn't use glitches, but is under Glitched. What gives? A: Part of my agenda when I wake up is to go through existing runs and double-check where they belong. If you see your run in the wrong category, do not fret, simply wait a day or two and check back again. Once everything is in the right place, you won't have to worry about it again.

Q: Why? A: This decision came from a surprisingly large number of the Discord server members agreeing that a glitchless category would be preferred. If you want to reliably voice your own opinion for future site changes, I heavily suggest joining the server at https://discord.gg/ZKE4TgBBDv

Q: What about pending runs? A: I will fix the tagging for the runs that were waiting verification before the change, it shouldn't be a problem at all

Feel free to ask further questions on this thread, I just wanted to post a full announcement so that everyone who isn't on the server would be informed as well. Happy dodging!~

here's a permanent one. Sorry.

I'm so glad you've been able to see how far your fun little game can go, and I'm happy that you enjoy seeing what's been done! Always good to know that our lovely game has an equally lovely dev! Thank you for stopping by with words of support <3

Anthonya has been summoned :D

Fake transparent background

In all seriousness, fake transparency is easy to fix and the leaderboard now has its icons ^^

Illinois, USACharlieCreston3 years ago

like, the files as individual images

Illinois, USACharlieCreston3 years ago

If you can send me the individual colours for the blob, I can implement it

Illinois, USACharlieCreston3 years ago

It has been done... not the best possible time, but the best I could do in my limited time ^^

Illinois, USACharlieCreston3 years ago

Yes, I will say, it's clear they practiced quite a lot before submitting their run, and they pulled it off quite successfully!

Illinois, USACharlieCreston3 years ago

Yes, that's how Speedrun.com does leaderboard positions. if there was a 3-way tie for first, the next position would be 4th. It's not fixable, it's just how the site was designed.

I've been too busy to run, especially since I might be a bit rusty at the start of my session

Illinois, USACharlieCreston3 years ago

Twitch highlights are volatile and, although it may not be as processor-intensive to stream, it requires a decent-bandwidth connection to get clear, good quality video for the entire duration.

Not to completely dismiss the option, just keep in mind if you live in somewhere with extremely spotty connection, you're probably better off with recording locally.

Illinois, USACharlieCreston3 years ago

Yeah, I'm on board with using those for trophies, or using static colour damage tiles

Illinois, USACharlieCreston3 years ago

unfortunately videos must be uninterrupted. I recommend getting OBS Studio or something similar.

Illinois, USACharlieCreston3 years ago

No, don't tell me there's version differences.... Ugh >.<

Illinois, USACharlieCreston3 years ago

Combined IGT, as stated in the category's rules. Add the IGT from both the normal and hard runs. Both runs must be done back-to-back in the same recording, but order does not matter. You can do hard then normal, or normal then hard.

Illinois, USACharlieCreston3 years ago

I don't want to clown too much on Risible though. We don't know what happened, there could very well be good reasoning for his disappearance.

Illinois, USACharlieCreston3 years ago

Hopefully a disappearance that long will not happen again. But if it does, at least there's one other person to stop runs from going unverified for 3 weeks.
