Hey Bat we would love to see a run if you got time! Good luck!

Its best to have sound so I can verify that you've submitted one continuous video, not something edited. If there were 20 people on this leaderboard and you were trying to claim first place, I would be a bit suspicious. Its also for standard quality -- we want more people to get interested in speedrunning, so we should at least make a watchable video.

For now, you could use YouTube sound editor to put in a free sound track (its very easy, let me know if you need help). Submit that, and you should try to run with sound next time :)

Hey, sorry for the confusion! You can definitely record with external audio -- my phone isn't rooted either so I always use external sound. Let me know if you need any other resources (recording, timing, etc.)

Hey @Rausku, go ahead and try it! Hope to see you around in our Discord :D

New Cat Bird emojis in the Discord! Thanks to @SioNisti for sharing the Image Drive!

I see... thanks for telling me that. I think the best thing would be for you to upload and submit your runs without a timer. I can then download them and time them accurately. Would that work for you?

So it would be on your computer? If you find one please link it to me so I can check it out

Great job, Tonic! I think we need an annual demographic survey more than anything at this point. It would give us a better picture of who your average speedrunner is. Age, gender, race/ethnicity, education level, country, etc. -- and in ten years, we can see shifts and trends in the data. To the next person creating a survey: Consider adding basic demographic questions!

I know that can be time consuming but its better than rerecording and splitting. I generally use a program called ShotCut to do timer editing, although there are tons of options out there.

https://www.shotcut.org/download/ In ShotCut, I use the "Crop" and "Size and Position" filters on the timer to overlay it on the gameplay. Here's an example of what it'll look like: https://www.speedrun.com/run/mekv27qm

Please add "Monster" to the category list

Hey! I'm going to ask some iOS runners how they do timing -- I'll be back.

Edit: It looks like most iOS users use a video editor to put a timer over their video. They download something like this and throw it in the corner:

Why would you need an emu instead of a phone app? Please explain how that would work (I'm open to this idea but Im curious as to why you need it)

The Nitrome Wiki Discord community does this on a weekly basis in a google hangout every Saturday night! They randomize the game selection based on what people submit in a google form and then try to get as far as possible in the game within 40 minutes. Seems like a great idea to me :D
