There should be some new things changed or added. Below is what I think could be done with this game as a speedrun

1. Times with and without fly included for both categories, makes the categories more competitive to newer runners as well as keeping on an even playing field for all runners, old and new.

2. (all doors) left/right- either have to stop right as getting to the door, quit then reload the game and finish with the other door when back in. Or just only go through one door in the level. In the game now, when you leave where the other runner did in their all doors run and reload the game, it goes right to skinner instead of going back to the level right/left, might have been in an update that they changed that.

3. (all doors) Distance- the end can be reached so that should be added into the rules since it has been confirmed

4. Adding individual level (IL) runs to add more than just full game runs.

5. Bringing back all scene variation as a category

6. (all doors) for timer end, should be consistent with what any % has (when text starts to load the timer is done)

I would love to hear feedback on any of these things I have said above.

(p.s.- to go with 2 as another alternative, you could play through once and reload the game and finish on going the opposite door you went through on the first time, still having the integrity of all doors, this could be harder to regulate though if the gameplay was not live)

Sure, here's my opinions but I'm not necessarily set to them:

1- That's an interesting idea, I was definitely thinking about how to deal with this case, like making a split on patch version or something along those lines, but since I can't seem to download an older patch, not much to be done there and seemed silly to make a new leaderboard with (at the time) only 1 or 2 runs in it. Definitely worth reassessing; I'll look into seeing how to split Fly out

2- Interesting, haven't looked too deeply into all doors just yet, but wouldn't surprise me if it's been changed in an update. In combination with your note on 3 and 6: I think All Doors needs a rework altogether. Probably will keep the current and make it legacy, and make a new one if you submit a full run of it with the new door.

4- I lean against IL for this game as many of them are a second or less. Appreciated you submitting them in your run, but will really just make more work on the leaderboard for me on timing millisecond stuff. I'll definitely reconsider if we have another runner or two who actively want to compete in the category!

5- Unfamiliar with the category, lmk what you mean and if it's different enough I'll add it!

Feel free to let me know what you think/if you feel strongly against anything I've said above

I meant to reply to this soo much sooner, sorry about that. My responses corelate to your numbers.

1- Instead of making a variable to separate out the new and old runs for fly, you could separate load times for fly after the run is submitted. There is a slider when you edit the game that is near the bottom that says 'Separate load times'. In the rules it should then state that only moderators fill in this time and they have final say of what the load time comes out to and they can message the moderator(s) if they do not agree. This will make the game more competitive as it takes the load time out of the equation for all runners and brings the time of the run down significantly. You could also take out the load times of the level control as this load time is consistent and doesn't change no matter what the player does.

2(3,6)- all doors does need a rework, only one door on left or right is fair, I have nothing else to say on this one.

4- instead of all the levels, you could do the levels that require actual skill like cave or distance, and if you do an il leaderboard it should go off the all doors method of finishing as it takes more skill that way. I think an il leaderboard would be fun to run, as long as other people start to gain interest in it

5- it is just completing every possible scene variation, it requires multiple playthroughs of the game to complete it, which is different as all the other categories only require one playthrough. so for left right, if you go left the first time, you go right the next. and for home you have the insta death but you also have the way of completing the level that is following the lights on each house. I'm sure you get the idea now. if you want to talk more about that my discord dms are always open most of the time.

If you need another mod, id be happy to help, would love to help this leaderboard out. Hope this came across well and sorry again for not responding sooner.

edit: also when do we stop the timer? The first letter spawning seems good for me but id like to know what everyone thinks
