So I've been thinking of ways to make more diverse speedruns, since Any%/Good End/Easter all mostly involve starving the poor pups. One id like to create soon - "Well Fed Any%" , clear the game as fast as possible(any # of pups), without ever letting the food meter completely run out.
Feel free to pitch any alternate name ideas, or let me know if you like that one! Im also open to category suggestions, I was thinking Tutorial could be a thing, but not sure if anyone would want that.
The recent update to profiles makes it really difficult to navigate profiles with many games, or games with many subcategories. I would love to see some sort of option to shrink down a specific games runs to help work your way through them. If need be I'd even prefer the old system be brought back over this. The effort to keep the profiles up to date is appreciated, but I wish the community had more input on these types of changes.
I was thinking it would be fun to do some checkpoint to checkpoint runs, like say Forest to Factory, or the water segment. spoiler alert
The last few checkpoints would also make a great level run, like Rampage To Escape Mainly i think this would help for players who want to avoid the more linear sections of the game, such as the assembly line.
As a new runner in the series I think it would be a fairer grounds to compete on, since most runs I see involve some kind of warping. It should also motivate new people to speedrun Doom, particularly if we put up some example runs.
Currently anyone can submit anything and call it a record, it invalidates legitamate runs and should be changed. As a great example, the "World Record" is a 2 minute Minecraft video that has nothing to do with this game.
