We dont know exactly when the game comes out but when it does the leaderboard will be reset and closed for a couple days. In the days that it is closed i will have to create a bunch of rules and do all of that stuff.

One of the main reasons i want to make sure everything gets set before i accept runs is that after creating a category if i make any changes to it, it might break and get rid of everyones runs and i dont want that to happen.

To start i dont wanna overload the leaderboards with a bunch of random categories so when it does go up expect there to be the basic ones. The general categories will most likely be [Any%, 100%, (Burgl chips?), All Bosses, (Specific Bosses?). If anyone has ideas for categories let me know because i do want there to be a variety.

If anyone is curious why i haven't been doing anything with speedrunning its just because i have little motivation to do runs knowing 1.0 is coming and that the leaderboards will reset anyway. I do wanna do some more runs soon though.

Lastly i probably will want a few more mods for when 1.0 comes because i expect a lot of traffic. If you are interested just message me and maybe post some runs.

I think starting with the more obvious categories like story, bosses, wolf spider (I might be a bit biased towards that one) with glitched, glitchless and each difficulty is a good idea. Can you sticky threads in this forum? Because I think a permanent "Category Ideas" thread would obviously hopefully produce more run ideas and help get more people involved.

I've seen quite varied runs on Youtube like an all gold cards run, all raw science and a craft mint mallet run, so some longer runs like all landmarks, all molars, all SCA.Bs etc and then full game 100% could be added too. Something like a 25k raw science run could be interesting as it would probably rely on a bit more rng due to BURG.L quests, whereas the all super chips run is purely refining the route and execution, don't have to do much thinking on the fly.

Haven't been playing the game since my last runs because I'm also just waiting for 1.0, although I'll probably hop back on and practice about a week before release, shake the rust off!

I might be up for being a mod, will know closer to the time.
