With a few people participating in the forums, I feel it is time to kick off a discord server. Feel free to join here: https://discord.gg/UASdbUDdWN
I was less than halfway through All Figures by 5.5 hours. But I was winging it. With some solid organization who knows what it will look like. Really looking forward to seeing any work you put into it. I’ll have an any% guide up in another day or two. I also will set up a discord in a bit for better communication now that there are a few people here.
Mamoonia out if bounds doesn’t help at all, as we NEED to do a full lap to collect all the sprokuts anyways. I have one lead on a skip for port forward but I don’t expect it to lead anywhere. Will save a lot of time farming though. Out of bounds in Nullwhere would save a lot of time if we can get back in bounds in the graveyard. The grand daddy skip would be to get to the lever in Tippy Top without the NPC interactions, or to enter the secret cave in wild lands early. Those areas will have my full attention. Skipping NPC battles would also be cool.
There is SO much more to All Figures that makes it a serious grind. A lot of recipes you need can only be assembled, and you can only get pieces so quickly. Plus a lot of ingredients are hard to get, etc. completing All Tasks sounds interesting to me because it requires a lot more routing and item gathering with as is hopefully not held back by recipes and spawn rates.
But for the most part, I’m just looking at any% and am planning on leaving other categories up to whoever wants to run them.
Awesome! Getting this run to where it is so far has been quite the undertaking, so let me know if you have any questions. I’m open to adding new categories to the board as long as they’re within reason, but I think what we have is the most straightforward. Looking forward to seeing a submission pop up!
Oh I didn’t mean that the run wouldn’t include spoilers, just that I didn’t want to drop end game spoilers in a forum thread when the game is only a few days old lol.
That said, I tried doing a rough All Figures run last night and it is a LONG run. I was looking at 5.5 hours and less than halfway through. A lot of ooblets require recipes that have to be crafted or won in the dance farm, both of which take a very long time. I’m down to add it to the board, but I won’t be taking another stab at it anytime soon.
Regarding Ooblet% I think All Figures would be a nice way to consolidate everything to a single category, and was the first alt category to come to my mind. My idea was to divide it into Normal, Unusual, and Gleamy subcategories although I’m not sure they would all be ran.
A certain Ooblet is still considered to be spoilers in the official discord, but it is only available post-game, meaning any category that involves obtaining every Ooblet would also involve beating the game, so that probably narrows our scope in those types of categories. Just my opinion there.
My brain is leaning towards: any% (with a glitchless category added if any skips are found), All Figures (again, divided into Normal, Unusual and Gleamy), and 100%/Completed Almanac, however we would prefer to make that category.
I know the game is still new, and it may take a while for people to trickle in, but I want to create a warm and welcoming community for this game. If you are interested in running this game, feel free to let me know if you are interested in a discord server and help brainstorm categories for this game. I’m trying to into the nitty-gritty of routing this game, but that will be a big task! Chime in any time and let’s get things rolling!
Just my two cents here, this game has seen more action in the last couple months than it’s seen in the last few years. Being seeded only has also ruined whatever potential interest I had in the game, but the unfortunate truth is that it’s impossible to know if a run is seeded or not. I’m sorry for the negative feelings here, but I don’t think it’s possible to find a solution to this problem.
GreenTunic's any% + DLC in 2:08:18 I think it was the same run as the one posted above, but with Dino at the end
