Hi everyone!

Twitch-Highlights will no longer be accepted for leaderboard submissions!

As many of you know, Twitch is limiting the amount of hours worth of highlights/videos you can have on your Twitch channel starting in April. If you're above 100 hours of stored highlights, Twitch will delete highlights until you're under this 100 hour limit. This sadly means Twitch is no longer a reliable website to store videos.

Thus we have come to the conclusion to ban Twitch-Highlights for leaderboard run submissions.

Current runs however that use Twitch-Highlights will be unaffected and remain on the leaderboards for now. In the meantime, we'd like to ask you to upload any runs hosted on Twitch to YouTube to preserve any runs you are worried about losing. There are many ways to export Twitch-Highlights to Youtube. Twitch has its own export feature which can be found in the video producer tab in your Twitch Dashboard. After you have exported your footage you can edit your submission on speedrun.com. DO NOT submit new runs, make sure to EDIT your current runs to make our lives easier.

It is very unfortunate Twitch has made this decision. It doesn't feel good to ban Twitch highlights and videos, however for the sake of preserving all the runs and WR history this is something we must do. This is something we could revisit in the future but for now this is what we have decided to do. Please respect our decision.

Hi everyone!

The Leaderboard embargo for Shadow Generations is now fully lifted!

As of today Runners may now submit full game category runs to the Shadow Generations Full Game-Leaderboard.

The Moderation Team finalized the ruleset for "Any%" so far. Understand that we have decided to split PC and Console runs for this category due to load time differences and console runners not having access to the loadless timer. A split like this may be applied to other categories in the future. Please make sure to read the game- and category-rules thoroughly before submitting.

The "100%"- and "NG+ All Stages"-categories are still being discussed and are lacking larger engagement. Therefore no ruleset has been decided yet.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact the Moderation-Team or the Community in our dedicated Shadow Generations Speedrunning-Discord and take part in open discussions in the category-forum! ‎

Thank you for your patience during this 2 week embargo-phase.

Until then gamers, have fun with submitting and competing!

Hi everyone!

The Individual Level-Leaderboards for Shadow Generations are now officially open!

Seeing that the ingame-leaderboards are already quite a mess and the community grinded levels down to the core, as of today Runners may now submit IL-Speedruns to the Shadow Generations IL-Leaderboard. Please make sure to read the game- and category-rules before submitting. Verification will start today as well.

Main categories however maintain closed until embargo is fully lifted. Reminder that embargo will be lifted 2 weeks after the official release, that is November 8th. We urge you to join and take part in discussions about main category rulesets in the ⁠category-forum on the speedrunning Discord! ‎ ‎

Until then gamers, have fun with submitting and competing!
