Hey y'all.

Just here to say hi and to shamelessly link to the other post I just put up on this forum:

Tournaments and Races forum - Hot new game looking for new speedrunners - Speedrun.com

The short version is - I made a game, it's out on Steam, I think it would be a dope speedrun, I'll give it to you for free if you are interested in trying it out.

Much love!

The title is maybe a bit misleading lol. The game is not hot and has been out for like six months now. But I had to get you to click on the thread. Forgive me. This will be the last time I lie to you. Probably.

I'm an indie game dev with a game out on Steam called spec.

spec on Steam (steampowered.com)

Calling me "an indie game dev" is a bit generous. I'm a regular guy with a day job who makes dumb games for the joy of seeing others play them.

I think this most recent creation would make for a pretty sweet speedrun. It costs $3, but I view that more as a "recommended donation" than I do a true price. If you click the link and are interested in playing, but don't have $3 (or if you have $3 but don't want to give it to me), you can hit me up and I'll provide a Steam Key.

I'm the current WR holder of my own game - which is kinda sad. What's even sadder is it's a garbage time filled with deaths and misplays. I feel like a sub-30 has to be possible, but I'm not sure I'll ever get it.

I'd love to get a full-blown community going where people break the game and we have to split into a "glitchless" and "any%" category and Summoning Salt eventually makes a YouTube video with the history of the WR and you guys become super famous spec streamers and I get super rich because of all the exposure it gets......... but I'd settle for a small community of cool people who have a casual meme-filled rivalry.

Truly, I think it would just be a blast to see some real speedrunners pick up the game and push it to its limits. I'd have fun watching it happen, and I know there are some people out there who would enjoy speedrunning the game. Check it out in Steam and let me know if you are one of those people.
