How to Submit a Proper Speedrun
Uppdaterad 2 years ago av Portinport

Hey I'm writing this because some people don't know how or just need a refresher on submitting runs. So here are some tips on how to do it:

Get a Screen Recorder

There are lots of good free screen recorders out there that you can download. Most people on the discord (go join it by the way love to have you there) recommend OBS but there are other ones that work too. No one wants to see a run recorded with your shaky iPhone 6.

Recording in-Game Audio

Recording in-game audio is not something you have to do unless it is a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place run but it's welcome and you should probably do it if you submit a lot of runs. If you do want to record audio you can use OBS or most other screen recorders. Make sure the site you're playing the game on has the audio for the game (like Cool Math Games for example) and make sure the audio is on. I play on Lexaloffle Games and is my recommended site to play on (link if you need https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=30767) There are no ads, it has in-game audio and you can use full screen.

Make Sure the Run is Smooth

No one likes watching a speedrun that looks like it's run on a potato of a computer; especially the mods. So to fix this try downloading an ad blocker on your computer if the site you are using has a lot of ads or just play on a site with no ads. This should help your computer run faster and make happy mods. Also, make sure there aren't any weird pauses in your runs and make sure the time of your run is clear.

Upload Your Video to YouTube

After you have a run you're happy with, upload your video to YouTube. Then you can copy paste the link to submit the run and make sure the video isn't private so the mods can see.

Make Sure Your Run Description is Right

When you're submitting your run make sure everything in the description is correct such as whether you used glitches, what glitches you used, the correct run time and the right YouTube link to your video.

There you go! You just submitted a quality run and didn't get publicly shamed on discord. A winner is you.
