South Koreayou can purchase the game on Steam.
Proposing that DougDoug's style of run should be a category of its own is completely ridiculous, and it tells me you don't have much experience on moderating speedrun communities, or the speedrun community as a whole.
I find it interesting that a lot of people think every speedrun community should strive to make as much outreach as possible, even if it means accepting runs that blur the boundaries of what's allowed and what shouldn't be. This is probably just one of the effects of speedrunning in general becoming so popular nowadays.
I can only speak for myself, but I also know from my collaboration with dozens of other speedrun community mods that we could care less about the traction our communities get. We care about the integrity of our current community and highly value the collective effort runners and other members put in to improve the speedrun and challenge ourselves.
Of course, getting a spike in new, interested runners is always enjoyable and we're always glad to help anyone out with the speedrun. However, invalid joke runs such as DougDoug's will never be exceptions to the rules we have established, regardless of how much attention they may bring to the community.
So, No, we won't reinstate DougDoug's run. No, we won't be creating a new category (or even a category within category extensions) that suits his run.

I've made this clear on my videos, but I appreciate the DougDoug fans that have been supportive of the runs on the leaderboard. On the other hand, it's unfortunate that the group of fans that partake in trolling the leaderboard are giving a terrible impression of themselves, DougDoug, and his community.
the esc key and period key are both functions that were built into the game for use; use of these keys do not classify as glitches. therefore no skips makes more sense as the name as the category
Thanks so much for taking this position - as a former mod of this game, I just didn't know how to manage the boards in terms of rulesets and the way in which score-based runs are submitted. I willingly volunteered to moderate this game with a friend, who shortly became inactive on this site, basically leaving me on my own. Thanks again for taking this position!
Hello, everyone
I just wanted to inform recent runners of the game that I just made a leaderboard split between the Web and PC versions of Samorost 1. I made this change due to the potential timesaves and/or timelosses between the two different engines.
I have moved all of the PC version runs to their respective subcategory, and runners must now select which version they performed their run on in the run submission form.
Thank you, plank
Hello, I would like to suggest the creation of a discord server for this game's speedrun community, where we can share strats, post PBs, and organize parties to do 2P+ runs.
I don't believe there is a designated text channel in the ManicMice Games discord server for speedrun discussion, so it seems ideal to create a new one specifically for speedrunning, which can then be attached to this leaderboard.
I've been wanting to get to moving the individual day categories to ILs, I just haven't had the time to do much at all regarding speedrunning in general. I will do that tonight. I can definitely add subcategories for the days and move the existing runs accordingly as well. Regarding timing rules, it would be nice to have assistance in creating them, as unfortunately I don't have any experience with this game. I'll watch over the runs and see if I can formulate anything.
This doesn't sound like a bad idea, but I'd like to see if anyone else responds to this thread. I want to see how much people would be interested in such a category.
