Hey there! As we get closer to the release, I'm writing this up as an introduction and update for everyone who may be interested in Speedrunning Village.

First thing I would like to address, is that there will be absolutely no submissions until May 28th. This 3 week period will give the community an idea of how the game works, and how it will be categorized. Upon the 28th, the moderators will take all of the info gathered, and set up the categories based on community interest, as well as the basic rules and regulations. During this period, we ask that you all be patient, and simply enjoy everything the game has to offer.

Next up, is the Discord. The Discord is already made, but will be open to everyone a few days after the release. This will help us format it correctly, as well as ensure that it's impossible for important things to not be pinned or archived.

Third, the game. How does it work? Will there be the classic RE Engine FPS quirk? Is sequence breaking possible? Is Knife Only possible? These are just a few examples of things we simply won't know until it's been thoroughly played by many different individuals. Let's all do our best to be on the lookout for things, archive it in the appropriate Discord channel, and see where it goes.

Fourth... this forum right here. I can't stress enough how confrontation seems to get out of hand, and has caused a lot of topics to go off the rails in the past two RE releases. I'm asking that you all try to be respectful, try to talk civilly, and don't bring any personal beef into these forums.

Fifth and final thing. Have fun! We're all here to go fast and have a good time doing so. We're all excited, so let's uplift and encourage each other while things are fresh and fun. Good luck to you all, and enjoy Village!
