Thanks for the feedback!

I added images to the guide to make it more clear what to do without having to read the text as carefully. https://www.speedrun.com/eye_of_the_temple/guide/iwtym

Also, I found out it's possible to make an autosplitter automatically show a dialog offering to switch to game time if it's not set to that already, so I implemented that for the game's autosplitter. This makes the setup a bit simpler and the guide a bit shorter as it doesn't have to tell how to manually switch to game time.

Hi!

I'm the moderator for Eye of the Temple on speedrun.com https://www.speedrun.com/eye_of_the_temple

Some people are speedrunning this game who have no previous experience with speedrunning. E.g. they're new to speedrun.com and they don't know LiveSplit, etc. I want to make things as simple as possible for them and not overwhelm them with technicalities. I'd love tips on that. I should say I have very limited speedrun experience myself and am learning as I go!

So far I setup the speedrun.com game and categories etc. and also made an autosplitter for Eye of the Temple which can read the in-game time, and made sure LiveSplit knows about it so it can be fetched just by typing in the game name.

This is the current guide I have for people: https://www.speedrun.com/eye_of_the_temple/guide/iwtym

It's reasonable simple but still a few more steps than I'd like. Is there any way I could setup more things to be handled automatically, or are there any steps that could be simplified?

(Note that for now there's no actual splits needed for this game which luckily simplifies things a bit.)

Also, is there any overview over what kind of online integrations LiveSplit has? I know it can pull autosplitters from a GitHub repo, and it can pull categories from speedrun.com. I've made use of both of those things. Can it pull layouts? Game icon? Other things? Where can I read about these things?

Impressive technique leaping over those rollers so fast!

Thanks!

The game was accepted quickly and can now be seen here:

Hi!

I'm an indie developer who made the VR adventure Eye of the Temple released last year. The game has a mode specifically made for speedrunning. https://store.steampowered.com/app/589940/Eye_of_the_Temple/

I just did a game submission based on my run here:

Edit: The game was accepted on speedrun.com now and can be seen here: https://www.speedrun.com/eye_of_the_temple There's already other people submitting their runs as well. :)

In the game you step from block to block using your own feet and you sometimes have to crouch IRL to duck under obstacles or lowering ceilings. So speedrunning it is quite a physical workout. :D

If anyone is also trying to add an autosplitter and finds this forum thread like I did, note that when following the instructions above, I got this reply:
