Like Nalyd16 already said, yes we know this glitch.

But still even tho we already knew of it, we are very very glad people point out that they might found something.

so In that Regards Thank you for taking your time, recording it and posting it on here!

No, we are not aware on how, because the executed file mostly gets replaced.

But thanks for pointing that out.

Yes, I know that run.

Normally I don't turn down runs because there is no reference to RTA, but let me explain first.

What is a reference to RTA? Simple anything that would show me a Real-Time Reference.

And because I never saw a Run of you before and never had any Information about how you submit your runs, I can't follow your style of Submitting without any comment on it. If you want to go the route, "Use my Youtube-Time Reference" then I know for the future and will time them. (Inaccuracy can occur)

I know people who resubmitted their run with a proper Timer, because they actual wanted to have a Reference in the Video itself.

I didn't reject it, simply because it doesn't comply to rules, more because I didn't know where your timing itself comes from. Aswell the Video is on a Youtube-Page that is not directly linked in your speedrun.com profile or the name is the same.

If I would tell you to reupload the run with a Timer on the same Youtube-Page, then I know that it is indeed your video and everyone who wants to see where exactly you are in the run can see a reference to a Timer.

If you still want your run to submit (without a timer on-screen), please add in the comment "Retime if needed" or "Youtube-Timestamps" or something else, so we can be sure that you want to use Youtube-Timestamps.

Btw. Thank you for hitting us up in the Forums about it. We never clearly stated that a Timer is needed, and because in other games I moderate there is a clear rule for that. (I probably messed up with one rule. #BlameTrenteR)

Ps: If i would retime every run, I would have to block out 6-8 hours a day only for retiming. (This means proper retiming)

The following Patch for Console shows why we should consider what happens.

Update (Jan 27): here are the patch notes

¤ Fixed potential loss of item in cursor slot when clicking the bundles tab in the pause menu. ¤ Fixed crash when hatching / buying baby blue chickens. ¤ Fixed crashes that sometimes occur when clearing quests out of the quest log. ¤ Petting a fully-happy animal no longer wraps happiness around to 0. ¤ Animals with a deluxe product no longer produce less at higher happiness. ¤ Fixed the golden pumpkin duplicate item exploit. ¤ Using Exit to Title and then loading up a different file ‘carries over’ some values and world state between games. This affects, among other things, the availability of chests in the mines. ¤ Possible fix for fertilizer boxes being placed instead of fertilizer.

That means if this Patch gets to PC, 95% of all Categories are unbeatable.

If we don't find a Solution to this, we might need to wipe the whole Leaderboard.

If you think about GDQ, think again. Pumpkin dupe gets patched...

You mean duping and getting Level 2 Mining fast to build Ladders? Sure...

Oh we have OOb, but nothing about the most runs is enganging imo. I don't know what viewers think of it, but even for me as a runner it's sometimes boring.

The main Problem with Stardew Valley is. That near to no run is "viewer friendly". Most of them is about sleeping and doing something really engaging.

To answer your Question, no Stardew Valley was not at an GDQ, but I don't think that it will make it in there.

If you can give me an explanation how sure. But not that we know of.

Yes that glitch is not possible anymore and the one with the Beach to farm money fast is fixed aswell.

We will probably move some runs to a different Version Number.

Right now we have SoundGlitch banned.

Explanation of Soundglitch:

• Disabling your Sounddrivers while the game is running an reenabling them causes the game to not be able to produce sound anymore. Because of this all Item Collection Animatons will be skipped.

Why is it banned?

• You have to forcefully disable Sounddrivers or glitch out your system to disable Sounddrivers for a Second. This is like the same as Tilting the Cartridge for an N64.
• The Community decided to ban this glitch.

This list only contains Glitches that are banned. We do know some other ways to trick this game, but these are "Hacks" and banned by default.

Also the Ingame-Timer doesn't increase in Scuttle Town at all...

Here are the Links to both Shantae Discord Servers.

Shantae Discord: https://discord.gg/BsGm3aS (Focused on Half-Genie)

Wayforward Speedrunning Discord: http://bombch.us/BXJB (For all 4 Shantae games)

What glitches you talking about? All Glitches are still possible, the only thing that changed is that you have to wait 2-3 seconds till you can sleep again

The problem about a modded game is, we Don't know for sure how many mods or what mods you have enabled.

We don't have problems with visual Mods, that change the Portrait, if we still can understand everything of the run.

If you use mods to make crafting easier, that would be not allowed ofc.

If we ever have an issue with a mod, we will ask the Runner what Mods are used, before accepting the run.

iirc = If I remember correctly

Second Point: Requiered to beat the Game are Scimitar and Cannon, every other boss can be beaten without their item. You will probably get Boots because of the Dagron fight, because else it's a mess with only Pike balls.

Okay after adding some of your Goals and coming up with some more, we end up at 148 Goals.

I talked with Saltor6 about the possibilty of Bingosync adding Stardew Valley as Bingo.

He said that we need to structure the Goals by special criteria. So i will need some help with that.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vOJrQ8R0Tiqx-txaenx-qNKvl_jZQubJbMOQEl3P9qc/edit?usp=sharing

if you find something that has to be changed tell me in Discord or post here in this forum.

I wrote some Goals down as well: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZfNVZxiSPFZsSmAObDJAujbU3vk5JSLmLOCBPDAJgNM/edit?usp=sharing

If you have some Goals to add, just tell me or if some goals are too "hard". We can surely make an easier one.

Sure, we already talked about that, but we are not able to create something like this.

I can give you A LOT of Goals which will make sense. But is someone able to make crads?

Okay after a Discussion on Discord, I changed the following:

• Added "Known/Unknown Seed" to Bundle% "Known Seed" runs start from Load File-screen of a clean file. ¤Clean File = Year 1, Spring, Day1¤

• Added "GameID" to Bundle% "Known Seed" runs need the GameID. If incorrect or not added, the run gets rejected. "Unknown Seed", don't need to post their GameID.

• Moved Earnings from Misc. to the Main Leaderboard. "The Category with the most runs has to be on front.
