Devon, EnglandSo in the most recent update of this game, they added options for x2 battle speed an x2 game speed. This means all the runs currently on the board can be done in roughly half the time.
I was hoping to submit soon & maybe also do some more of the randomiser stuff too. Just wondered how people felt about it or if I should not bother submitting.
So the main crash points I have found are when we try to skip a cutscene or when reinforcements are spawning in for wave missions ect. (With a third being loading in for missions every now and again)
So here are the things we've currently noticed make us seem to crash less. Whether this is actually true or just confirmation via placebo is unknown but here we are.
-Turning on Vsync - Limiting the frames with Vsync seem to make the game freak out less and in doing so crash less.
-Playing fullscreen - Although I don't do this myself one of us found they crash less while running in fullscreen. Give it a go!
-Turning off dialgoue - Probably the one that I find the strangest and most likely to be Placebo but at least two of us have found turning off dialgues have helped us crash less when running it.
Please feel free to mention any other odd supersitutions below that have helped you crash less when trying to play I'll add em to the list.
"Yeah actually I've found this game never crashes if I make sure to keep my legs crossed the entire time crazy I know"
Just let me know if there's anything else that would be good!
Best contact me on the discord. Have fun Xcoming <3
Hey I plan to run the game after I complete it casually. I notice when looking back to prior missions your characters stay leveled Plus you can keep whatever party comp and such.
I thought it would be cool to either have a NG+ or a All missions catagory where you could play from a completed save file.
I look forward to doing this run + Any% in due time. <3
So it was found recently that if you save the game during the animation of the last action of the game and then load that save you can skip the enemies turn entirely.
This can also be used to skip animations that would follow as it would load the game in after the animations happen.
As this is the case, this makes the with DLC pretty much exactly the same as the No DLC run. Unless we make it so we have to either complete the missions or, remove the need to have the missions be done. This would mean we have to do the missions (Adding more time on) Or have to deal with Rulers in the run ( Adding more time on)
The new 1.04 update just added a new ending to the game plus being able to return to the tree mid run to potencially saving time! Just making a note here if anyone else is interested! Other things could change but I haven't gone through it all yet.
Just as an idea it could be fun to race to particular missions for example from start to the blacksite mission that one would take under an hour at most. Or for the DLC missions you could do from start to the DLC missions being complete. Just to try to make the game a little more accessable and just more available to speedrun ^_^ PS up for doing these runs to show what they would be like
With deluxe mode of course many things changed. With the next small update just after deluxe mode a Speedrun mode was enabled allowing all text to be fastforwarded by holding down the A button.
So with the survival mode coming out I thought I'd be really cool to have a survival mode speedrun. So first idea would be racing to 5000 points which wouldn't take too long
As all the levels are pretty sectioned off I wondered if anyone would be interested in actually doing some Individual level segments. Writing it here so new people not on the discord could see it as well.
For people who aren't on the discord, it's totally possible to triple jump using the combo light, heavy, heavy, then the normal double jump An example of it.
Credit to MonStahLer for finding this.
Well here's the link to this discord https://discord.gg/Mc5tAwb Small talk and company while running.
If anyone else wants to run a particular catagory that I haven't listed already feel free to post it here.
So the lantern fruit got nerf'ed to have two blue's included in it. Probably means reroutes and such will be slower now. Thoughts about back dating before this change or just what would people like to do? I suppose we aren't active but I'm enjoying this game atm.
I did a run of Weald Any& no summons if thats an okay thing to submit? its not amazing but I was curious what sort of time it would take. Theres a link to the run of it. If people dont want to make it a thing then fair enough.
So I know currently no skips have been found (Other than walking in a few cutscenes) But if we did find anything it would be huge. I notice in WildWill002's run some reason half the basement was completed already and if we were able to figure out why this happens we could save a good minute in any%. I notice him mashing about his controllor a lot could be something to do with this?
Looking at a run submitted by RoShamBoom, who uses a scroll wheel to be able to click through all the text dialog. I was wondering how people felt about something like this? It would speed up the run for sure but as rebinding the keys in game (at least to my knowledge) isn't an option I'm not sure it feels right as I suppose it wouldn't be any different from just using a key (F for example) to spam click for you.
Also I know not a huge amount of people would necessarily have the option to be able to set it up if we did make it the norm.
I know this sounds crazy but I thought to myself while running this game... What would make this more interesting? As I look down to my phone and enter a door just using a sound prompt I think man maybe I could do this blindfolded.
Of course this would be pretty hard to do the main difficultly I think would be a lot of the doorways and corridors where you can get stuck by clicking in a different circle. I probably wouldn't also do this without a controller as I could just use the analog stick to point my direction than the mouse.
