Really nice run - and congratulations with the WR! Good to see some new runners!

Chris has set up a new Discord Server for the 8BitBoy Speedrun Community!

You can join it with this link: https://discord.gg/mykBc4U

That's right!

Thanks for adding. Updated the thread! :)

Didn't make it the event, cause of some issues that happened during my trip. But I'm sure that the event was good, especially the stream was very good.

Mass housing is really required, since people are coming a long way and it's already expensive. It's not very my cup of tea, that I'll have to find any apartment rooms somewhere in the city. I don't have the money for the hotel rooms, so that's definitely required. It's nice if you just could walk for a few minutes, and then you would be there. Then people don't have to leave late night, look for busses etc..

EDIT: Didn't mean that it is required, but it would be nice to have for future events.

Hey there!

I was thinking about running this game, but are you mods still active? If no, I would love to recieve mod to help out with the design on the speedrun page and verify my own runs.

Hope to hear from you!

Milliseconds are definitely important in this game, please consider adding it when submitting a run.

Made this Discord Server, so we can talk about everything related to The Vanishing of Ethan Carter in there.

Don't be late!

Nice to hear, I'll disable that for the next upcoming runs.

Someone finally beat my run, so I'm starting to run this game again very soon! :)

Cool!

I'm interested in speedrunning the game, especially going for a full run! :)

Awesome!

Hey!

I have made some changes and added subcategories. You can now just select "100%" and choose Redux. It'll be placed there.

Thanks for the idea!

The RNG does really ruin a lot of things and that's just why I quit speedrunning Any%. It's just impossible to beat my own PB if I gets bad RNG in just one scene.

Give it a few shots or try the Redux category. Not that much RNG there! :D

That would be really nice!

Regarding the RNG, here is a great example of your run and my run:

Your time:

My time:

Even though it's only a few seconds different, it does really make a difference when it's Ethan Carter.

It has been timed by me before, it does really make a good difference. Even if you get a long sentence, there is silence for 2 seconds. Actually for all sentences.

It does, the shorter sentences you get, the faster you get through the scene.

That's just right, that's actually what I meant.

It does have about 3-5 patterns, one of them is example from top to the buttom.

Hello!

This will show all the important changes/fixes for the original and the Redux version.

RNG for the original version:

• Space Lights is random.
• House of Portals is random.
• The sentences that the witch gives you is random.
• The zombie does still random spawn.

RNG for the Redux version:

• Space Lights is no longer random. Pattern: http://bit.ly/2uB19kJ
• House of Portals is still random.
• The sentences that the witch gives you is no longer random.
• The zombie does still random spawn.

Fixes/Changes for the Redux version:

• You can no longer clip through the floor.
• The note does not open faster (Space) if you stand a bit from it.
• You can no longer sense instantly for traps.
• There is an additional scene where Travis confronts his dad, this adds around 30 seconds over the original.

Overall this is all you need to know if you want to speedrun the game. Pick the Any% if you want to use glitches and other great methods. The Redux version does not have any glitches that has been found and is just a walking and solve run.

I've looked into it, seems like I was wrong about the title. Sorry about that!

It did have a 4 hours long run going on at the same time, and that was really annoying when you just wanted to watch some fast runs instead of waiting 8 hours or 4 hours.

Again, sorry.

I wasn't able to attend ESA this year. Last year was great, but I expected to see some changes.

The stream was really great, everything seemed to work great and I enjoyed the Ape Escape runs a lot!

The Donation Tracker did also seem to work fine, however there was a moment where a lot of donations were delayed or not displayed. Definitely something that shouldn't happen but nevermind.

I really want to comment on the things that I wanted to be changed/add, which is more about the event itself.

Longer runs & Stream 2: 8 hours run is boring for me to watch, especially because I don't like Final Fantasy. Alright, 8 hours is fine, I'll survive. But having a 4 hours Final Fantasy run at the Stream 2 at the same time is not okay. They should have something different, this takes so many viewers away from you and could explain why you didn't have more viewers.

Also I was very disappointed that they denied so many runs this year or just moved them to stream 2. Instead of accepting all those long Final Fantasy runs, they should get greater games in and new runners. Also a way of improving, making the event bigger and getting more viewers.

Food: We do really need more food at the venue and especially more healthy food. With the current income (1000 SEK - Also Mass Housing) you guys should be able to have more healthy food in the day times and also in the nights. Last year they did only have a hotdog in the nights, where some would like to have something nice instead of going hungry to bed. They had Burger King this year, I just can't survive on that a whole weekend.

Overall the event was great but I really wanted to see those things change.
