Any changes in the rules from now on will go in this thread. Please make sure to look at this thread for more information about rule changes in the future!
Due to the new expansion, No HDF has been changed to no HDFS and HDF has been changed to HDFS to include rulings for the new sigils included in Sweeping Heights.
Only Casual, Casual (Random), and Normal Glory Days IL runs will be accepted under the Fresh File sub-category.
All of the other Casual and Normal quests (Respite's End, Another Way, Around the Bend, and Shadowman) will not be accepted under the Fresh File ruleset.
The Completionist category and all sub-categories for that category have been removed due to lack of interest.
Fresh File runs now require you to create a profile before your run in the video proof that you provide with the run. The exact wording is as follows: You must create a new character profile before your run in the video proof provided.
Small rule change:
Milliseconds in timing are no longer required on runs that are over an hour long unless the World Records are extremely close together.
Rule change:
Runs on the mobile versions of the game are now allowed on the SRC leaderboards! Please make sure you are using the official mobile releases of these versions!
MInor Platform additions: Linux has been added. Mac will be added when it leaves beta.
Minor Platform addition: MacOS has now been added as a platform for running DemonCrawl!
Minor rule change: With all of the new platforms that have been added as ways to speedrun DemonCrawl, I have added two new rules to the list of Game Rules:
When submitting a run, you must select the platform that you performed the run on.
Any runs found to be submitted under the wrong platform will be rejected immediately.
Minor Rule Change:
Added the rule to all All Quests categories that require runners to complete the quests in order. Glory Days, Respite's End, Another Way, Around the Bend, and Shadowman is the order the quests must be completed in.
Any runs that were completed before today's date, 9/4/2020 do not have to adhere to this new requirement.
All runs completed from 9/4/2020 onward must adhere to this new requirement.
Ruling Change:
Special chests are allowed in every category. This might change in the future depending upon how unbalanced it makes the speedrun in terms of Scout vs. Spy/Snowflake, though.
Furthermore, this rule will not show up in the rules pages of any of the categories because it is implied.
Ruling change:
Fresh File All Quests (Hard) can now be done. Please read the rules of the category before attempting it!
Ruling change:
The Do Not Scare Me option can be used in any and all future speedruns. This does not work retroactively! This means that if you did a run before today's ruling change, your run will not be retimed.
