Hello!

Rules still have not been created for the speedrun, so we may need to edit the runs that have been submitted if we decide to change them... no big deal.

When I did my speedrun, I wasn't sure when to stop the timer, as there are a few places at the end that could qualify. In the final minefield, controller inputs seem optional and have no effect on the time, so the timer could potentially stop when the screen turns red and black... but that doesn't really seem appropriate.

There is also the fade to black when we enter the eye. This is hard to time the stop point, in my opinion.

The more I look at the ending, the place that has the best visual cue to accurately stop the timer is after the pyramid explodes, and the diver and shark fly up the tunnel. The moment they hit the exit of the tunnel seems like a nice place to stop.

What do you think?

Yea I agree. My black suit run ends when you and the shark fully escape the pyramid. But my blue suit ends when you get out of the explosive pyramid room and it fades to black.

I think that best rule for that situation would be to end when you and the shark fully leave the pyramid imo.

I can do another blue suit run and update with the proper ending.

I've just picked up the game today and planning on doing runs. I can help with rules and timing and routing too if you mods need me too. And I also requested this game like Nega did

Cool man! Get some runs in!

I will. Currently my obs isn't working.... Do you want me to still submit runs?

Yea! Try recording with something else. As long as one of us see a timer and you end split in the proper place (when you and the shark leave the pyramid), we will verify it :)

Make sure too, to select the proper category as well.

If I can't find anything does a screenshot work as well? I will provide video proof if I get a WR though

I feel much safer with a video.

Could recording with OBS rather than streaming. And then uploading it to youtube.

I only have ps4 so no way for me to have a timer. So you don't need a timer if you have a video

So, stop the timer when they enter the tunnel and fade to black?

The rules should be saved for each category now. The best visual cue to stop the timer is when the shark and diver exit the final tunnel. You don't need any inputs as early as when the screen turns red and black after entering the pyramid, but it doesn't seem like an appropriate ending. By final tunnel i mean the one immediately after the heart of the pyramid explodes

YEs that seems to make more sense for a proper time to end split.

Hey FijiWater! Glad to hear you're interested in running the game.

Two different runners should not submit runs from the same video hosting account for verification purposes. Creating a new YouTube account or simply uploading the offline recording to your Twitch account would be sufficient and preferable.

Regarding the best strategies, I'd recommend joining the Discord here https://discord.gg/cJ5sFJX so we can discuss it more thoroughly, and other runners could give their feedback.
