Yo I'm happy to see this game getting new runners, and community growing. I think game have a lot of potential, and new skips to be found in both categories. If anybody interested in getting sword for whatever reason (for example verifying any% runs, since I'm not 100% familiar with every mechanic here :P) feel free to DM me here or on discord. I'll get back to running some time in the future, when I got more time P.S. You need e-mail authentication on to be able to get mod role ( ◕▿◕ )
Hi! We still have lots of skips to find, I'm sure about it! I'd like to help you even if I won't have so much time before Christmas (I'm moving). After what, it will be easier (I hope so at least). Talking about mod, I noticed that the leaderboard of individual levels is strange. There are classical "Any%" and "Any% No Physics Glitches" categories in which same categories can be found again. Do you think it could be corrected easily? If you're running again, waiting to see that! Even if it's not the same thing, I run IL as it is less time consuming than the whole game and it’s a way to train as well. Have a good day!
Ye, leaderboards are messy, and I haven't touched them, since there was no runners, should look into it btw you need e-mail authentication on to get mod role
k, I looked into it a little, I need to move/edit some runs and change some variables, and also splitting main categories into real any% and The Abyss would be nice I'll do that bit later, when I got spare time ( ✿ =‿‿=)
E-mail authentication ?
There's no rush for the leaderboard but I wanted to discuss it with you. I agree, I think it might be nice to separate the "true" Any% from The Abyss.
Hi. I think we should make such categories: character + ending + with all bugs/allowed bugs + segmented/single segment.
- separate tables for each character, perhaps give more incentive to wound for other characters.
- Endings - similar + it makes sense.
- I think to clarify the category without physical glitches. For it can be prohibited at the moment the following bugs: flight (up/down/in a straight line), breakdance, teleport. The rest are allowed. Since these bugs allow you to skip almost the entire level, the use of some other interesting bugs becomes useless.
- Segmented/single segment leave as is. Total 4 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32 variants. If no one minds, ready to help.
Ye, I can't mod you without it, it's in settings - general Also whatcha think about making discord server? There's at least 5 active ppl here already, and spreedrun.com forums not ideal for communication :0
I think it's a good idea to split categories into new one but doing it according to the characters will generate a lot of categories. Maybe it can be grouped in a tab manner such as the actual ordering with "Any%" and "Any% No Physics Glitches" in the "Single Segment" and Segmented tabs.
I have modified the mail authentication, I hadn't seen this option.
Discord server sounds good for me !
Maybe we could move the segmented runs to some archives, like the "guides" menu. Since it's not really competitive.
Also I don't see anyone running the dwarf, so I don't believe we should create 4 split tabs for the characters. It's better to leave as it is the current system of a mere variable labelling the run.
So that's just 2 categories for the main game: 1 - Any% bad ending 2 - Any% No Physics Glitch good ending
then for the ILs we just need to solve the variable/category conflicts, and define proper rules. Nothing gets in the way of farming XP and getting super weapons in the previous levels
I don't agree with the removal of the "Segmented" category because the game easily allows it, moreover it allows to present strategies that sometimes can't be implemented in "Single Segment" because they are not reproducible enough. I don't think people will ever run it if it is relegated to the "guides".
Concerning the too many categories, there are two ways to consider it. Avoiding too many categories to avoid categories where nobody plays, or creating new categories to motivate people to play (I personally prefer the second point of view).
Concerning the individual levels, to avoid the "Good ending" / "Bad ending" problem, a solution would be to add the version "With rune" or "Without rune" only for the levels containing one.
Changed the categories a little bit. I don't really like the fact that the character is rendered as a drop-down list and that Levels and Full Game have different main categories. That's why I wanted to discuss a few options:
- Make the main category by character (there will be 4 tabs regardless of IL or FG).
- Make the main category by glitches, but the characters will remain in the drop-down list.
- Leave it as it is, but rename the main categories in IL (Any Glitches / Allowed Glitches).
Concerning the full game categories, it sounds clear to me even if I don't like the "Allowable Glitches" name, but I don't have anything to suggest right now. Concerning the "Good ending" (The Abyss), for me, it is not a 100% category. I was thinking to do maybe a "true" 100% run someday (killing all enemy and get the secret items). So I just prefer "Good ending" / "Bad ending" or "The Abyss" / "Tower of Dal Gurak" instead of "100%" / "Any%".
For the individual levels, it can be changed as "Any Glitches" / "Allowed Glitches" but as I said, we could also add "With rune" or "Without rune" option for the levels which contain a rune.
I will continue on the Discord server after that.
