this speedrun has been a lot of fun but its getting tiring now after close to 30hrs

austere python
normal egret
#

idk if i get a sub 5 before playtest ends

#

but its possible for sure

#

my movement times are still slow

shell orchid
#

Better work hard and fast for it

jagged shore
#

I'll probly have a couple hours tonight to try but sadly life comes first

#

my best getting to the gun is 52 seconds

jagged shore
#

My movement I have down, it's the fight that always kills me lol

#

No biggie though, I had a lot of fun running this and can't wait till the full game

shell orchid
#

Same. This is actually a game speedrunning wise that I can actually get behind, and by then I should be able to realistically play the game without lag at all (since the Xbox controller bug was reported to hell and back)

forgot to post

Oooh so we back with pistols now ! hahahaha

indigo galleon

jagged shore

#

still streaming more attempts to get better

jagged shore

#

Dammn. I hope sub 5 happens before the end, but it’s cutting it close

jagged shore
#

2:43 is the fastest i got to the boss

#

grabbing the vid of the 5:03 now, gl to everyone, this will be my last submitted run

#

It has been a pleasure to run with you all, and i hope everyone joins me in running the full game!

carmine inlet
#

good job bro you've had some great runs

jagged shore
#

manually retimed it, was a 5:03.80, not frame perfect timing but, reaction timed

#

Mason or Jared if yall are here, do you guys plan to show the devs the record speedrun by chance?

shell orchid
#

I’m pretty sure they will see it when they start calculating the runs

jagged shore
#

yeh lol

shell orchid
#

Ok, so I want to improve my run before things are over: 7:10. I want to see about getting a sub 7, but that is sorta unlikely, but we'll see

idle token
#

who else has pulled of sub 6?

carmine inlet
#

this will probably be my best time

#

5:23

#

most of that time spent was glitch hunting

After a further 3 hours at this, I finally got a run to be pound of: a 6:52. Despite the circumstances and my own PC, I had fun. I may not be the winner, but in my heart I am the WR holder for man%

jagged shore
#

good runs all of you, this has been an amazing time running this game, i appreciate all of you!

austere python
#

jagged shore
#

I can't compete back lol, got work, ggs

#

We Gunna have to go frame by frame to time it and see who got faster, either way lol

austere python
#

possibly

#

maybe pengu will get the sub 5 and it wont matter

jagged shore
#

Maybe, either way, I knew something was Gunna happen today xD

#

Damn work sucks, cause I could totally get faster

austere python
#

my break is over so i also have to go back to work though

jagged shore
#

Just don't have the time

#

Work from home?

austere python
#

yes

jagged shore
#

Damn, lucky 😛

#

I gotta drive into the office every day lololol, ggs, y'all have a good kne

#

One*

jagged shore
normal egret
#

jagged shore
#

ah damn, pengus gunna get us while we are at work LOL

normal egret
#

there it is jesus

#

#

jagged shore
#

if i had time last night i was close but ran out of time lol, ggs good runs dude!

normal egret
#

#

jagged shore
#

me watching everyone else running while im stuck at work T_T

normal egret
#

image.png
#

If @austere python ends up beating it, ill change the thumbnail etc

jagged shore
#

shell orchid
jagged shore
#

@normal egret still beat you to the boss by 2 seconds 😛

jagged shore
#

@normal egret i cleared p1 4 seconds faster too, damn, my p2 was jsut bad T_T

#

god i wish i could come run, i know i can get the sub 5 too

#

T_T

normal egret
#

@idle token whens the playtest ending ? Im not trying for any runs anymore, since 8am pt was already a while ago

idle token
jagged shore
#

🙁

#

gg everyone

#

Nice to see the sub 5 being done

jagged shore
#

Gg

austere python

#

ggs !

idle token
#

can everyone who has a recorded sub 6 reply to this message with your video?

normal egret
austere python
jagged shore
#

This was mine from earlier

#

Question Jared .... If we are able to say, still play the game, would it be ok if we post a better time if we get it? (Not counting for the competition ofc)

shell orchid

#

I guess there are no OOB runs at all, or at least none faster than Inbounds

#

I was kinda expecting something to pop up today

shell orchid
#

At the very end of the playtest?

#

That’s bold to assume

winged rain
#

Some people don't make their runs public until the end of the contest

austere python
#

i guess there is still a chance

shell orchid
normal egret

#

The problem is that the playtest was really well built, plus the playtest had a finite amount of time attached to it, so more then likely we wouldn’t of found something in that time

winged rain
#

For me the problem was that the demo crashed 3/4th of the times when I started a new game

#

Not to mention the FPS I got

shell orchid
#

That’s fair. For me, I was the only runner with a controller, which caused lag, and my PC was crap

carmine inlet
#

I had a lot of fun running guys

#

great stuff

#

@normal egret amazing on the sub 5 it's beautiful

shell orchid
#

Indeed. Despite my shortcomings on my end (and partly the game’s), I’m glad I got a sub 6 at the very least

normal egret
shell orchid
#

@idle token Also, I did a goofy run in the form of man%. Hope it gives you or someone in the office a good laugh

idle token
#

thanks, I am writing down a list of people who submitted runs now

winged rain
#

Alex also has a sub 6

#

Hopefully you didn't uninstall

carmine inlet
#

if only i hadnt uninstalled already

#

lol

normal egret
#

i didnt yet, but i wont do any more runs

#

that was it for me

jagged shore
#

i plan to atleast get my extra hours like you got pengu ;P

shell orchid
normal egret
#

I could get a lower time if i wanted, my run still had errors in movement and some in the boss fight but thats fine with me

jagged shore
#

i mostly just wanna get the sub 5, cause i know i could, i just didnt have the time to do it

carmine inlet
#

i spent too much time not getting practice in

#

for the main game and if theres a second playtest

#

im locked in

shell orchid
#

Same here if the next test isn’t in the next month, month and a half-ish

I never did any speedruns in my life, and I don't know how it is in different speedrunning communities, but I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading this thread just out of curiosity. There is no hostility, just honest appreciation of one another and healthy, non-toxic competition and I love that.

shell orchid
#

Mhm. For the most part, speedrunning communities are like this, just people sharing their times to try and beat the game as fast as humanly possible. Hell, in some games, they even do different things like sing along to songs in game, or me with my silly little man% speedrun

Hey, is footage still being evaluated ?
Was curious when there will be an anouncement on who gets copies and such (also when do i get my special role 🙏)

shell orchid
#

Sometime this week

jagged shore
#

Do the ones who had the record before a work week get a special role too Kappa

carmine inlet
#

turns out the secret goal was to get a 5:23 and looks like I was the only one who did it

#

sorry guys tough luck

jagged shore
#

XD

#

@idle token any updates here?

jagged shore
#

tbf, we got what i assume is a lot of time before the next playtest, im in no rush for anything 🙂

shell orchid
#

True

idle token
#

hey hey, sorry been kinda silent! lots of things going on

I was planning on giving keys at launch to everyone who got sub 7

In no particular order
@normal egret @austere python @jagged shore @carmine inlet @indigo galleon @shell orchid @dull otter

shell orchid
#

Even with my bad setup I still got a key lessgo

#

Although, will the title go to Pengu?

idle token
#

I'm watching a few of the runs back again now but seems like Pengu is probably the winner 👀

shell orchid
#

Considering he was the only one with a sub 5, yeah

idle token
#

okay I've granted all of you Speedrun Elite roles and Pengu, a very shiny Speedrun Champion role!

shell orchid
#

Very nice

normal egret

#

I propose a server wide announcement to honor all the runners, and fan art/screenshot winners ! makes sense to everyone else in the server that way why we have these roles as these contest channels were a bit more "hidden"

shell orchid
#

100%

#

Can't wait for running the Fullversion happyboss

#

@idle token speedrun elite is for sub 6 or 7? i did 6:16 🙁

@idle token

Important update if and when this channel shall be used again

#

I wanna run the game again Sadge

#

also slightly sad that they only showed pengus run for the new vid 🙁 there were a ton more people working towards that sub 5 goal

shell orchid
#

Agreed. However, this speedrun has inspired me to go after other catagories and try those… once conditions are met

jagged shore
#

do eet

#

while we wait i suggest trying out ghostrunner too

#

fun speed game for a while

shell orchid
#

The only issue is that I am ass at Ghostrunner. The main games I want to speedrun are the Borderlands games, specifically the newer ones (Borderlands 3, Wonderlands and 4). However, I’m waiting for a new character named C4SH comes out before I give it a go because the other ones are super omega generic

jagged shore
#

well

#

id say, learn HOW to speedrun while you wait

#

then you can apply that to cash when he comes out

shell orchid
#

True

jagged shore
#

1 prefereably XD

#

2 is.... ok

#

they kind of made it not feel as solid to run imo

#

which is why i still dont have a full run

normal egret
#

Thanks again, i left a comment mentioning the other runners !

shell orchid
#

They even pinned it too. Nice
