Hey!
I don't know if this has been discussed, but what are the future of Bzzzt's full run categories?
To me, the most obvious ones would be:
- Any% (with or without separation of difficulties, because Easy would be faster than Normal/Insane)
- 100% (All Flawless)
Timing could be IGT, I can work on a autosplitter for Livesplit that will keep track of only IGT if needed.
Also, do you plan to add ILs leaderboard too?
I have done a Any% Normal run so far:
yeah I agree, Any%/100% would be the natural categories to start with. I am gonna get the board updated this week.
I could see having aboard for Normal/Hard and one for Easy is going to have a lot of different strats since you can take damage. But we could also just have the Difficulty as variables that do not obsolete each other.
Not sure about IGT/RTA. I lean to RTA because it is the easiest for everyone to do, But if there are significant load differences IGT might we worth looking into.
I feel like there will be a huge difference between Easy and Normal/Insane. At some point the leaderboard will only have Easy in the top 10 or so. But for the beginning I can see that being a variable.
And I agree with RTA. This game doesn't seem very hard to run on any PCs, there shouldn't be loading differences, but we'll have to see I guess!
So for 100% category, I think it should be better named "All Flawless" or something like that, instead of just "100%". I mean 100% is not bad, it's just that it's easier to understand and to get what to do when written as "All Flawless" but I would totally understand if it was named 100%.
The run would end on final boss after getting all other level flawless (and final boss flawless of course).
An another category idea: All Spare Parts (basically at least All Silver, or just 100% but in Easy mode, not hitless)
