Hi there, my current WR in Any% Glithless is actually incorrect. After watching it back in slow motion (thanks to those who figured this out!) I realized that my timer started a bit after I started moving. I re timed the run multiple times and it should actually be 47.12. IF a mod could change that for me, that would be great!

This is a quick post to chronicle some of the changes in the run since the big patch and the new category. After 100+ runs of the new category (I will post some times soon), these are all of the things I have found.

  1. The Secret Door: Obviously. This is the big change. You can no longer glitch through this door. If you open it, and it hits you while opening, it will stop opening until you close and re-open it. It is very important to find the right spot to back up to so it will not hi you and you can get through the door as fast as possible.

  2. Strafing sucks: Since the patch, strafing and moving diagonally slows you down tremendously. This slows down some turns I personally used to do around the banister and picking up keys.

  3. Stairs: Climbing up stairs seems slightly faster in general. however, DO NOT strafe up the attic stairs. This causes you to get stuck at the top and on the side box, and no longer offers any better movements.

  4. The Attic Key: When picking up the attic key, on all of my runs I notice a little hundredth of a second glitch. The game seems to freeze for .01 seconds before you are able to move again. I have no idea why this happens, but I know other people have this same issue, and I also know some people do not have it. This is very important to note as it does look pretty suspicious and I can not find a way to fix it.

Has anyone found a way to play Gone Home pre-patch? I see some new people submitting scores that look like they are pre-patch, so I'm hoping someone knows a way!

So the new update to the game today also updates the Unity engine it runs on. I thought this would change things a bit and unfortunately I was right. Movement (especially strafe turning) is different and you get clipped on corners like the banister easier. Also, I can no longer glitch through the secret panel. I have tried dozens of times and simply can not do it anymore... I hope this is just me but it would suck if Any% is ruined from this.

I mentioned this idea to Slow the other day for a fun New Category for the Holidays. Essentially it's Any% but you have to bring the Good Ol Christmas Duck with you to the end of the game. It's not crazy different but it's just a fun idea to add some variety to a pretty straight forward run. I have not mapped out times or optimal places to drop and pick up the duck to get the keys, but that's all in the fun of a new run.

I know it's a little weird and we aren't the most active community, but just thought I would offer up the idea!

So on the PC version, when the game is loading in you are able to move the mouse during the load time to change where you look when you spawn in. Maybe this is not as major as I think but starting the game looking at the Duck Cabinet has given me some of my best runs. Is this against rules or is it legal?
