Skaters!
With the advent of 1+2 on the horizon, I want to take this opportunity to discuss some things:
-
We will be placing a one week speedrun embargo upon release. This means that you will NOT be able to submit speedruns until Friday, September 11, 2020 @ 12:01 AM ET. We are doing this to give ourselves time to determine the categories and rules, and it also discourages players from trying to speedrun immediately instead of just enjoying the first good Tony Hawk game in over a decade. You are still allowed to speedrun, of course, but you will NOT be able to submit until that date.
-
Categories and rulings are still up in the air for now. The best we can think of is that Any% and All Goals & Golds will be there, but other categories and sub-categories are unknown. With the one week period, this will give us time to figure this out for sure.
-
Another reason for the embargo is to give the community (mostly Fog or Hekigan) time to develop an autosplitter/loadless timer for the PC version. If you would like to work on the console autosplitter/loadless timer (using, probably, ROMaster's tool ( https://github.com/ROMaster2/LiveSplit.VideoAutoSplit ) ), please let me know!
-
Moderators, as of now, are still being decided among us. For the first few weeks, we will only be allowing current moderators to moderate 1+2; this will most likely change depending on activity, how many players we actively have, and other variables. We will approach you if we want you as a moderator!
I hope this post does enough to detail our plans. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or ask in our community Discord!
