From the influx with run submissions lately it is clear that some clarifications need to be made as to what needs to be in a submission video so under "View Rules" on the leader-board the "Game Rules" tab will now show the following:

Runs should show gameplay footage where the "new game" circle is being filled up to when "loading..." is shown

A timer is appreciated but is unnecessary for submissions

No mods or cheat engine will be used at any time, except for mod specific speedruns (which depending on popularity may get its own page in the future)

For Top Three Times it will be required that that at no point is game audio muted

In the end the moderators will make a decision at their own discretion if a run is to be rejected or not

If you have any questions or if these or if you can't understand these or any specific category rules please message a Speedrun.com mod in #meta-and-tech on the community discord: https://discord.com/invite/rainworld, or in the forums on this page

Effectively all that is needed is a video showing the run from file creation at circle fill and loss of player control when the final cut-scene starts

The fastest three times for any given category will require audio throughout and should show the entire game screen

For the categories with few runs in them the moderators will verify runs at their own discretion

If there is anything that doesn't make sense with the new rules to anyone feel free to message me on the Rain World discord about it or post about it here
