Basically, it is just easier to manage and filter through when it's more compartmentalized in proper categories.
There is a much bigger reason, however, as to why v0.1.9 and likely verisons above it will have to be their own distinct section. This is primarily because, as of now, you can only ever download the most up to date version of Juice Galaxy, making previous runs impossible for others to run unless someone can pass them the files. (which I do not endorse, and may likely go against the wishes of Fishlicka, the developer)
The other reason is because v0.1.9 not only adds in a new boss, but also adds in a mechanic known as "burst armor" which makes bosses signficantly hader to one-shot. They no longer take massive damage from the attacks that used to guarantee kills.
These differences are so extreme that it wouldn't be fair to put v0.1.9 and future runs in the same ball park with older versions. This basically affects every single category.
@starsmiley I have attempted to contact the mod that's logged in the last few days through their other contacts, I also shot them a message and still have yet to receive a response. They seems to log in now and then every couple of weeks but haven't had any run activity for something like 3 years and I haven't seen any more recent runs in the last year or so verified by them.
I even joined their RTS speedrun community discord they use and tried to contact him there but couldn't get into contact with him
Howdy! I submitted this run: https://www.speedrun.com/aowda/run/z18n1qry for the game https://www.speedrun.com/aowda
The run along with several other IL runs of mine for the same game have not been verified in over a month, would it be possible for me to be added as a moderator of the game? I am a super mod of the later standalone expansion of the same title, I'm not sure if that is worth mentioning or not.
I appreciate the time you take to look into these either way!
I've had 6 near-WR's and some by a lot. At one point i was on pace for sub 6...
No WR yet though, the RNG has not been in my favor.... maybe 1 in every 30 runs I even get a chance to go to the pizza.
I got a recorded 6m 28s but the Clog had literally a pixel sliver of health and killed me....and he took damage while I died and since I was dead bosses can't die when you're technically not alive....sigh......So close yet so far
Grats to Filet for being current WR. My time is only 2~ seconds faster but I can't verify my own run so I'm sitll waiting on it.
The juice race is getting clutch
My Sum of Best is 6:36...so it's definitely possible for us to duel a lot. Both our PB's have lots of optimization possiblities!
I look forward to being juicy with you!
Seems barely significant in Mygeeto outside of just being MUCH easier to do with consistency.
Definitely seems a lot more useful for Death Star, you could save a decent amount of time since you won't have to wait as long for the rebel waves to spawn.
You have to pick up enough speed and height that you fly out of the "respawn" box below the map. Ideally this is done by getting a lot of speed on the slope and then using the jump pad to fly off into the distance and die. Alternatively you can use the grenade launcher to achieve a similar effect.
Just look at the runs that are already posted, they all show several ways of doing it.
No matter what I try OBS won't capture this game, it just refuses to pick it up when I try to record game. Everything else works fine, is there some setting I'm missing for recording it or?
I really want to speedrun this game, but if OBS doesn't work I'm SOL since I don't really use twitch.
I gave it another peak and you're right...for most of it in Chaos City they are just a dead meat torso that reaches the end and gets no victory screen...They just manually hit the menu and leave
Does that count? Technically they got to the end but I thought the point was to get the "Victory!" popup...Otherwise I have a lot of runs that could of been way faster...
Could we add Capitulate USA as a category? Spiffing Brit just posted an interesting strat that lets you cap them within a year or so IGT easily
Seems like it'd be very interesting to see people find ways to do it!
I agree that auto-resolve really makes it a matter of who's PC is faster and how good they are at clicking fast without missclicking, and doesn't really make for the most fun thing to watch. Would be interesting to see a no-autoresolve version.
That being said Galactic Conquest is pretty long, even with auto resolve....It'd be like two and a half hours at least to do them all in one go
