I want to list here all of my ideas of how to update this board to make it relevant to speedrun ideals and common things. Please review and let me know if you have any doubts about my updates, we can discuss anything

Cosmetic

1. Trying to update Name of game to correct name "Bleak Faith: Forsaken"

2. Update logo (have a good picture)

3. Update category names (at least propcase them)

4. Change desing

Major Category rebuild

1. In during Jun-Aug 2024 there was big update of game that makes it more souls-like: iframes of invulnerability, removed parry, added "perfect block", changes stamina regen after perfect block, again ladder and claymore before Konrad were removed. So all speedruns that were performed on patch before major last patch is "old patch" speedrun and new patch is "current patch speedrun" (similar to Dark Souls 2, i guess). We can also identify the versions of game, e.g., Current patch is 15507154 (last patch after major August 2024 update), previous patch v4026544 (the best patch where there are ladder and rusty claymore before Konrad.

2. So all game categories will be "Current Patch" and "Old Patch". I saw on youtube run in 42 minutes on old patch but route is impossible on new patch.

3. All dummy/empty categories will be removed.

4. Main category will be "Any%"

5. I plan to leave "Konrad%" because it's madness that first boss in game has less than 25% of players who bit it - so even first boss is challenge :)

6. Definitely we need "all bosses" category

7. I'm not sure about another categories, because they look like levels - but they are not level, you anyway need to beat konrad. So we can add them as "Other" categories if we dont want to delete them

8. For future - we can add "no upgrade" category but game looks hard anyway, it can wait

E.g. hippo% will be removed as there is no hippo boss bar (correct me if I'm wrong). Cloak% will be added as "Other" because it's kinda useless category, or we can remove it also. Collect 20 rings - similar.

Also please note that runs in "original" "patched" will be united in "old patches" because logic of game is very similar there (no iframes of invulnerability, no perfect block, old locations with bugs). I just think that almost noone will play if very first version of game because it's broken, I've been trying it for some time. v4026544 (november 2023) patch is the best to speedrun, they fixed a lot of bugs, added ladder and rusty claymore before Konrad
