hey there,
just curious about the rules for any% before i try running this game. do we pause time during loading screens? im only asking because i noticed when watching your run that loading screens were quick but when playing the game my loading screens are sometimes double the time yours are. just curious before i start running this :) thanks!
On the advice of the crew over at the Speedrun.com Discord, I included load times in the run because there's no precise way to track game time (as compared to real time) in Astray. That being said, I manually measured in my video editing software the length of the run minus the time lost to load screens and provided that time as "Time without loads" on the leaderboard, in addition to the "Time with loads" as shown below - I encourage you to do the same. :)
Time without loads: 17m 10s 030ms Time with loads: 17m 57s 910ms
Good luck with the run! :) I'm really happy to see someone else interested in running this game, and I hope you're able to find some skips I missed.
PS. For segmented runs (which I've been planning on doing one of), just cut out the load times entirely. ;)
thank you so much. this is great to hear. i played this game a while back as a normal playthrough and thought about speedrunning it but never had the time. ill definately try it out soon. cant wait. thanks again! if i find any skips im sure ill let you know
Also - I've just added specific rules for the IL runs, in case you're interested in running those as well! :)
