thread: Speedrunning

Thanks for the response all! Will create a discord today and post the link. Also planning on setting up a shared document with possible time saves, glitches etc.

Also worth saying that there's a run of the original exile game, so it's possible that could be helpful but the graphics are worse so it's not clear what's going on. I contacted the runner of that but they're not interested. Here's the link:

There's also a thread on the spiderweb software forums about speedrunning and a stats glitch: http://spiderwebforums.ipbhost.com/index.php?/topic/21978-aeftp-speedrun-13-endings/

That's fine - I have a total lack of experience speedrunning at all! I'm simply interesting in having a go.

They certainly do bring different challenges such as use of menus etc. Glitches will also be different because there's no cutscenes and so on.

I'd probably look to set something up on discord and put together a list of all the information I've found online so far.

Would anyone be interested in running Avernum: Escape from the pit? I've been looking into it recently but it doesn't seem to have been done very much at all.

For those who don't know, A:EftP is an old styled RPG that is the second remake of a game called Exile. Exile was originally released in the nineties, was fleshed out as Avernum a decade or so later and in 2011 was remastered and released on steam in its current form.

It interests me because it's quite a big game, taking around 25 hours to finish under normal circumstances, but you can access the entire map from the start so I'm sure this can be cut down significantly. I've seen a run of the original game, Exile, but not of A:EftP. I'm currently trying to see if I can get the game listed on this site as a hub for finding information, glitches etc.

I haven't done any speed runs before, so this would be a new experience for me but if anyone is interested, please do get in touch and we can set something up and give it a go.
