[random vigil]

Me not me not

[twin stratus]

you

[austere dune]

Is the cube escape collection all achievments run like

The only requirment is to get all the achievments

And beating the games arent required

[crimson adder]

some achievements mean u need ot beatr the game

[austere dune]

Yeah but for the ones where it isnt

[crimson adder]

I suppose ye you could skip finishing them

but I don't think there's a game where you don't have to beat it?

pretty sure all of em have an achievement for finishing.

ah

just checked speedrun . com

we seem to have a 100% and All achievements category

which probably means that, yes, there are some games you wont have to finish to get all the chieves.

so for 100% - finish all games and all achievements, all achievements - just get all achievements

sorry

íts late, lmao.

[austere dune]

Thx

[austere dune]

In seasons (sprinng) would it be quicker too quickly unfocus and focus on the oven/sink and grab the pot there instead of grabbing it when revisiting

[crimson adder]

I haven't ran seasons so I don't have an opinion on this

but I think generally the less screen transitions the better? I feel like the less time you have to swap rooms / focus is more time saved bc, at least in my experience running samsara room, the swaps feel relatively slow

[austere dune]

Actually now that i look at the route (from the record) it has the same number of transitions

[crimson adder]

Ah interesting

[worthy stream]

do time-skipping glitches exist in these point and click games?

[crimson adder]

define time skipping?

theres no credits warp to skip most of the game, if that's what you're asking

but if you know which segments you can skip before the game allows you to continue youd save time

[real pier]

how long do you think it will take to verify my run i just submitted roots :)?

[crimson adder]

if no one gets to it before me and ill remember itll b this weekend.

I'd check it out today or tomorrow but im dealing w/ a move so im a bit all over the place atm.

sorry!

[real pier]

dw, tank you

[hidden knot]

whats the purpose of speedruns in a rusty lake game? doesn't it just devolve into who can click stuff the fastest?

[crimson adder]

Yes! 😄

but also what segments of puzzles can be skipped, etc.

[smoky lynx]

The White Door is my personal favorite because you also have to optimize where you go first in the room itself

[bronze drum]

Yeah its not that room escape

It is a unique game

[safe thorn]

Thinking of doing a RL Hotel speedrun maybe

[crimson adder]

you can!!

[safe thorn]

I'll try !! Just need to find something to use to record it on mobile

[winged rain]

the clock app maybe?

[neon mural]

Just got my lake speed run with both endings down to 90 seconds

[warped granite]

Whoa! Noice

[crimson adder]

lets gooo

[bronze drum]

If a rusty lake game ends with just entering the passcode.
And put that passcode in start would that be a speedrun

[crimson adder]

Yes.

But it depends on the category rules:)

[crimson adder]

Speedpaint!

I think you may got the wrong channel @prisma vigil

(but it's really pretty:))

[bronze drum]

I just simply love it.

I just noticed

Its like your pfp

[prisma vigil]

Oh I didn't even notice, ty

[crimson adder]

Anytime:)

[green musk]

Would this be where to discuss the speedrunning rules for TPW?

[green musk]

@crimson adder sorry to ping you, but you are the speedrun mod, yes?

[pearl crystal]

Yes, damy is one of the speedrun.com mods

[crimson adder]

O MAN

how did i miss these messages

[crimson adder]

hey ye absolutely

im so sorry for missing this twice jeez.

that's shameful lmao

[pearl crystal]

Shoot, i think the earlier message is on me, i think you were asleep at the time

[crimson adder]

Nah I should've been awake for both of those I just

missed them??

[green musk]

Awesome. So I have questions about the categories and the timing rules. There is a co-op category, but the game can be completed solo without any input from another person, so, what would this category even entail? You could technically record The Past yourself then record The Future yourself and submit it as "co-op." Is this category from before the game was released and it was unsure whether or not it would be viable? And the timing rules - it starts when New Game is selected - all there is before the game actually starts is about 20 seconds of menuing. Would being good at selecting a bunch of options be a skill that could be taken into account, or are you open to changing it to when the game actually starts? For instance, right when "Click to continue" is pressed. Then for the end, what would the credits starting mean? When the ending cutscene is over, there's a few options and then ||it plays out the tree|| and the credits - would the timing end on the final menu button message of ||belonging to the lake||, or when the credits actually appear on screen? Or are you open to changing that to when the game itself is over, ||when the cube starts to move inwards|| for the cutscene?

Also wow, sorry for the wall of text. 😄

[crimson adder]

I can answer the timing one real quick; that's how all the rusty lake games are timed, and I'd like to keep it that way for consistency

even if that means some 'dead air' between starting and ending a run.

[green musk]

Alright, I am cool with that one then.

Just clarity on the credits would be good then.

[crimson adder]

Ah ye so when the logo shows up basically

the moment that shows is time

I can edit that in the rules.

I will hopefully remember to do that.

[green musk]

||So the tree growing would be considered part of it then?||

[crimson adder]

its like a bit after that

[green musk]

Yeah.

[crimson adder]

(also could you spoiler tag that thank you)

as for the co-op category I uh

ye it's a bit of a conundrum

i do want it to exist and technically you could record two instances.

but I would consider that cheating, I guess.

I will probably need to figure something out rules wise

like the runs need to be recorded at the sametime

I think there's no 'perfect' solution there, orn ot one that i can think of in the moment, it's just that TPW is a co-op game and I'd like for it to have a co-op board.

[green musk]

So for that, me and my friend spitballed an idea of "you can't move on until you would normally" - so one player would be sitting there waiting for the other to, say, show the code needed on their screen before the other could use it, even if they knew it.

But verifying would take a lot of effort.

[crimson adder]

Ye I'm just sort of betting on the sportsmanship here I guess

I know that's obviously not great

[green musk]

Well with your idea then, would recording it at the same time, but plowing through doing it as fast as possible regardless still count?

[crimson adder]

Just checked "tick tock: a tale for two"s board considering thats the same sort of set-up and they dont have a co-op board

[green musk]

So, like, The Past could get ahead of The Future, or something, and that would be fine.

[crimson adder]

Yes,

so theoretically you could submit a solo two screen speedrun

(but to promote co-op play the run will only end when the second title screen starts playing basically)

[green musk]

Alright.

[crimson adder]

again apologies for the super late reactions i honestly dont know how I missed em.

[green musk]

S'all good.

I just had a bunch of built-up knowledge that I wanted to try to use and figured I'd speedrun the game, but some of the timing stuff was unclear for me.

[crimson adder]

(if you have more questions feel free to just @ me here, normally I SHOULD catch those.)

that makes sense! good luck on your ventures:)

[green musk]

Oh, I guess I do have another question that would be related to playing the game.

Is this kind of an "any%"?

[crimson adder]

yes absolutely.

[green musk]

Stuff like all of The Future's Bone/Flesh/Blood part can just be "confirm"ed through, and The Past has chunks that can be skipped due to how the puzzle is designed, so that's fine to do?

[crimson adder]

yep

[green musk]

Good good, thanks.

[knotty panther]

My girlfriend told me that there’s actual speed runs for The Lake.. and I so wanna try it. Idk how tho lol

[pearl crystal]

Well, you could start by having a look at the current records on speedrun.com

[crimson adder]

It's true!

[little copper]

Can developers also join the speedrunning? 👀

[wraith hamlet]

As long as the devs dont use a debug tool to skip the whole game, ig the speedruns are for everyone XD

[little copper]

I have tested this game hundreds of times so my muscle memory might be enough to carry me through

[crimson adder]

Ye definitely feel free:)

[warped granite]

do it

[void vector]

the only Rusty Lake speedrun i can do is brain burn speedrun from your puzzles😭😭😭

[sour relic]

Hello, is the marathon (finish the 15 games) considered a speedrun?

[crimson adder]

It's not a category on speedrun. Com , but if you run em all as fast as possible you could claim it as a speedrun I guess!

[sour relic]

(sorry if my english is bad, trad is my best Friend 😅)

Oh okay ! Indeed I time myself to compare the results with those of Laink (Streamer Fr)

https://youtu.be/FdrG9ABPZrs

[crimson adder]

Ah that makes sense:)

[sour relic]

Yeah , for the moment I have a good lead on him, on the left are his times, and on the right are mine

[crimson adder]

Haha that's awesome!

[sour relic]

Thank you I only have 5 left 😅

[crimson adder]

Goodluck!

[sour relic]

Thanks ^^

[crimson adder]

Hey everyone! just letting you all know I gave the Rusty Lake category on speedrun.com a new (and hopefully improved) Coat of paint:) https://www.speedrun.com/rustylake I changed up the background, some of the game icons so that they're all square and the 1st - 4th place trophies are now cubes let me know what you think!

[regal ridge]

Oh cool!!

[crimson adder]

Thank you:) sadly I cannot change paradox at the moment so that'll be excluded from the overhaul until the mod gets back to me (and hopefully says yes)

[green musk]

Man, the TPW background looks way better than the blood-red one that was there. Good job. 🙂

[crimson adder]

Thanks!

The main series background is the one from the collection. The forest stays just in a modern jacket

Phenomenal runs btw @green musk been a pleasure to look at em

[green musk]

Thanks! Now that someone else is actively running, though, I have competition and they can only get better. 😄

I also have a few new techniques and glitches I can't wait to show off in a run.

[crimson adder]

Hahah I've been wondering what potential skips you could do (if any) But ive been too occupied solving puzzles the proper way to help people out

[green musk]

Pfft, imagine playing the game as intended. :-p

[crimson adder]

Excited to verify some more runs:) (if the other VERY dedicated RL mod doesnt get to them first<3)

Moderating duty calls!

[green musk]

Hey, I just finished my speed running guide for The Past Within. I'm hoping that anyone even slightly interested in running the game can make use of this for learning my route and tricks used and that it sparks interest in more runs. I hope it's okay to share it here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkyIl8dKg_s

[crimson adder]

Hey yeah this is definitely the place

Thank you for sharing:)

I like all the neat little optimising movements I saw while I was verifying the runnhaha

[green musk]

Definitely was thinking about you the whole time during my runs. 🙂

[crimson adder]

O no lmao

[green musk]

"I know Damy's gonna love this loading bar skip!"

[crimson adder]

It's trie I so

Do*

[wraith hamlet]

Time to send this to gdq and feature rl in how to train your speedrunner

Great job!

[crimson adder]

I think a RL run in GDQ would be fun but Id have no clue what type of run would be best to show off

I dont think you could get away with a CEC although if you could send it as a I beat 9 games in under X maybe 🤔

[wintry dove]

Hello there I tried speedruning Paradox Chapter Secret ending I got 43 s on mobile

I'll share it soon

[crimson adder]

that's really cool:)

[wintry dove]

Btw is audio required ?

[crimson adder]

WEll to be completely honest with you I dont think secret ending is a run you can submit to speedrun.com right now so it doesnt really matter I guess?

[wintry dove]

Okay because my recorder got messed up and didn't record audio I'll post it at SRC in about 5 minutes

[crimson adder]

maybe the paradox board could do an extended game category for the secret ending

but I dunno

[crimson adder]

WEll would you look at taht

Ive only been a paradox mod for like a day okay

[wintry dove]

[wintry dove]

Done

I submitted at SRC

[crimson adder]

Cool:)

feel free to ping me here if it takes like a week+ to get verified Im kind of prone to forgetting about SRC

luckily we do have other very wonderful speedrunning mods though

[wintry dove]

Alright thx , take your time 👍

[wintry dove]

here is my TAS

[rustic mango]

I'm sorry, @wintry dove but I'm deleting your video because of the epilepsy risk

[broken bloom]

Hi

[crimson adder]

heya @broken bloom whats uo

up*

[analog epoch]

I don’t understand…
Why would anyone want to speedrun rl games?

[crimson adder]

because it's fun? a challenge?

just like why anyway would speedrun any game, really.

[analog epoch]

well rusty lake don’t really have that speedrunning vibe.For example in other games that players have speedrun have some kind ofbug perhaps or some exploit to make the speerun fast.Well the only thing you can do in rusty lake games is just remembering all the codes some you don’t have to go back to check the code

[crimson adder]

Yeah and that's fine:)

[analog epoch]

Of course it’s fine

[crimson adder]

I think if you prefer any% glitched runs that's totally an okay preference to have, just not something you'll find in the rl runs

[pearl crystal]

I should probably do some speedruns

[crimson adder]

(although I think there's some really fun tech in the tpw future run to optimise movement and time though:))

[crimson adder]

As a "rusty lake speedrunner" : yeah absolutely they're fun

[analog epoch]

not really i wouldn’t say i’m keen on speeruns in general but still

Anyway

[green musk]

For the current TPW world records, I use a bunch of skips and bugs to finish the game fast. If you've played TPW, it might be interesting to check them out and see all the stuff that is actually optional. Who knows, you might even want to try running it yourself. 🙂

[crimson adder]

thanks Furdabip:)

[analog epoch]

i usually get streessed out where i do soemthing with time but thanks nonetheless

[weary ermine]

[stray cradle]

The quickest way to go to the submarine in Cube Escape the cave i know is put the four line combinations on the door and Go to it.

[crimson adder]

yeah it sure is!

[stray cradle]

and that's how I beat the game over and over again

[crimson adder]

Nice:)

if you ever record a run feel free to share!

[stray cradle]

My cellphone is so bad, i can't Record:(

But when i do, i share in here;)

[crimson adder]

haha fair enough!

[round crescent]

[rain swan]

I just did, 12 minutes

Birthday

[crimson adder]

Gg!:)

[lucid compass]

Ok

We know you know all the game

I've done it in 2 and half hours

:)

I'm so pro

[rain swan]

Thanks!

[rain swan]

Mh?

[rain swan]

Neat

You inow what?, imma do it again

Thanks for the inspo

[crimson adder]

Let's gooo

[rain swan]

Yeshhh

[wanton delta]

Back

Damy

What does it mean by speedrun?

As in speedrun the game ?

[crimson adder]

yeah.

[wanton delta]

That’s pretty random

I’m bad at this game

[lucid compass]

hhahahahahahha

[fresh terrace]

Around 9 hours 😵‍💫

[crimson adder]

no those are minutes!

[fresh terrace]

O my LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm sorry🥲

[pearl crystal]

I also got confused at first, but then i realized the last one was 96, which doesnt tend to happen with seconds

[rain swan]

Hehehee

[rain swan]

Hehehe

[rain swan]

Since this the fastest i can go is 6 minutes, i tried but i cant get past it

[peak copper]

this video for rusty lake cave has some interesting tech involving turning while the engine in running and moving the cube while still picking it up: https://youtu.be/ttvzm7WIjL8

[crimson adder]

@peak copper can I help?

[peak copper]

Nah

[crimson adder]

O I see you edited your message

nvm nvm

[peak copper]

I accidentally sent the message while typing

[crimson adder]

thanks for sharing!!:)

[peak copper]

i know i could improve the run

[crimson adder]

haha definitely go for it!

[frigid lodge]

TPW Lite past in 19 seconds

I'm gonna try again with a bigger screen

[hybrid dust]

Hello. My name's Spikestuff. I'm a Publisher for TASVideos and for the past month I was trying to figure out how to get libTAS the TAS tool for Linux to play nicely with Ruffle.
As for about a month now Cube Escape has been compatible with Ruffle, albeit with some graphical glitches. As seen here: https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle/issues/9024
With a bit of staring at the Decompiler for a month and finding out that a solution is to change a single line to make libTAS play nicely with the game well...
A TAS of The Lake now exists.
Light Photosensitivity Warning as a final note for extremely quick transitions:
https://youtu.be/25p9eR_uL7g
https://youtu.be/hasDPVw_6js

[crimson adder]

hahaha o my god that is wonderful

[hybrid dust]

When I initially finished it. I was like "Hang on I can transition and then interact".
It went down from a 16 to a 14. So I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope others will too.
Hopefully the next one I'll be looking at will be Harvey's Box as that's the next shortest in terms of RTA runs.

[crimson adder]

yeah I can imagine the others becoming a bit longer haha

[hybrid dust]

Well in unfortunate news. I'm unable to enter the fruit due to an error in Ruffle.
So Harvey's Box is going to be skipped temporarily (as it is second shortest) until that bug is resolved.
Next up is Arles, unless that has issues as well. Hopefully not.

[hybrid dust]

This is going to sound like a weird question.
How does paint work?

The same string of input worked when set earlier.
That still somehow didn't answer my quesiton.

[hybrid dust]

I'm just going to guess extremely specific positioning that zig zagging doesn't get.

[wraith hamlet]

Idk the minimum percentage for it to get filled, but theres one, so youll need to paint more of those blank spaces

[hybrid dust]

See I thought it was percentage too.
But this failed outright.
So I assume it's locations.
(There's something funny that's going to come out of this as a note)

[crimson adder]

That's actually really interesting

[wraith hamlet]

Time to hunt trigger boxes

[hybrid dust]

Arles is an interesting one. The painting looks insane in motion.
Light Photosensitivity Warning as a final note for extremely quick transitions.
https://youtu.be/ReMR5zNHP4M

I believe some of you may have a laugh out on this one due to how the painting was done with not much input behind it.
||The thing going on at the painting jigsaws is actually due to going too fast with perfect positionings.||

[wraith hamlet]

No knife duping, no like

I suppose youre doing it on release order and theres some time bf you reach the longer games, but if you dont mind id ask you to ping me when you start to program the runs for the titles outside the ce collection
Been really enjoying these, awesome job

[potent cloud]

Nicee. I'm really curious about that and I'm opening this chanel for the first time so sorry if I offend
Do you use any click bot or is it really your fingers tapping in the screen this fast?

[crimson adder]

It's a TAS, so it's a machine

"tool assisted speedrun"

[hybrid dust]

I was going for order of lowest to highest times in terms of RTA runs. I had to skip Harvey's Box due to an emulation bug in Ruffle.
And I skipped over Seasons. Next up is Case 23 followed by Mill and then Seasons assuming none of them have a major bug.
But I'll get into that after April Fools.

[hybrid dust]

In fairness I think it was more fun to trade the dupe with a bug.
(Earlier version of the bug before going for the key)

[wraith hamlet]

yeah i noticed the other paiting also getting one of its pieces multiplied, breaking the game is fun in any way

[hybrid dust]

Do you use any click bot or is it really your fingers tapping in the screen this fast?
It's a sequence of inputs that are played back at a certain time (frames) by a machine, in this case libTAS as that's the only way to TAS Flash titles (image below).
This is the painting sequence to showcase what it looks like:

[potent cloud]

Didn't know about that. Loved to lear it. Thank you

[hybrid dust]

(Case 23) How does this input work?
https://youtu.be/rj-Cf7FP_v4?t=180
As neither mobile nor 2nd place is able to pull this off.

[crimson adder]

Could be an old version thing that was removed

[hybrid dust]

Rand's run is older.
Hrmm... is Swesie still active... kinda.

[crimson adder]

dont think ive ever seen them around here

[hybrid dust]

I shot them an srcom DM and a public YT comment.

[hybrid dust]

But I'll get into that after April Fools.
Me proceeding to get into it before April Fools.

Chapter 3 is interesting... and a touch loud.
Light Photosensitivity Warning due to extremely quick transitions.
https://youtu.be/Q-0PXSzZjOg

[crimson adder]

Truly the key to the scary chapter 4 is robots

[wraith hamlet]

So many highlights
Chap 1 in half a sec
Laura slowly exchanging the egg for the cube
Chapel puzzles
Chap 4 being surprisingly slow

Absolutely great

[crimson adder]

haha seeing that sliding puzzle go and float by was great

[hybrid dust]

Stumbled on a bug cause of that. Dunno if it's documented.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/797793745851777054/1091318871153201212/image.png

One of the pieces is hidden below another.

[crimson adder]

I feel like ive seen it before

[hybrid dust]

finds something out in The Mill.

Oh no. Ok. I'll explain first.

So, when you're at the memory game if you click fast enough on the first card that disappears you can auto complete it.

[crimson adder]

Hahah wild

[hybrid dust]

Works on Black Cube as well difference being a single frame window.

[hybrid dust]

Well. I was going to post a 2:06.7 Mill. But I just found out the input was somehow made at 24fps... the game's 60 if you didn't know... so tomorrow if I can convert it without issue.

[hybrid dust]

So on the bright side this might be more than 1 frame. But also... No shot.

[indigo steeple]

not a speedrun but yea. just collecting achievements (and some secrets ive encountered so far)

the rest 3 hours from roots was me figuring out the secret achievements lol

[subtle cargo]

@wraith hamlet I like that this highlights the contrast between parts of the game where the pace user-controlled vs game-controlled. Certain moments (chapel puzzle completions, elevator ride, Laura) take the time that they take, no matter what. It's a really effective way to emphasize certain information and/or remind the player of their limitations. Maybe not all of them are that deep, but it's still a cool design element, especially in context

[wraith hamlet]

Yeahh im usually not a big fan of cutscenes but in lore-heavy games theyre always a treat

[pine heart]

from which game is this 👀

[crimson adder]

Case 23

[pine heart]

omaigat okay no spoils I'm close to start it ^^

[crimson adder]

haha have fun:)

[pine heart]

ufff

[last torrent]

@hybrid dust heya! I just saw your youtube comment, don't check it that often so apologies for the late response. I have no idea what could cause the less input thing to happen, i played the game on browser as far as i remember

[hybrid dust]

Oh well that's fine. It was more of a curiosity thing. Thanks for that @last torrent.
As for the late response it's fine. Mainly did it for the wait wasn't really an ASAP type of ordeal. Again. Thanks.

[last torrent]

hm that's interesting, i actually can't recreate that on the cube escape collection

and it seems the browser version doesn't exist anymore

so it might be that some change to the collection version made that not doable?

[crimson adder]

Could be yeah

[last torrent]

that'd suck 😦

am gonna try a couple of more times

[crimson adder]

I'm glad the cube escape games survived the death of flash anyway 😅

[last torrent]

100% same haha

might even have been a flash bug 😛 idk

hm yeah i can't recreate it on the collection edition

[hybrid dust]

Oh for reference I'm using the Newgrounds version.

There's a 50% chance it won't load within Ruffle as some builds don't match desktop which loads the game fine (in the past it did load on Newgrounds, and currently loads): https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/661829?emulate=flash

(I did the full link, mainly cause Newgrounds doesn't automatically load some flash titles with ?emulate=flash which I believe is for Action Script 3 titles as it's not completely compatible.)

[last torrent]

did not know there was a newgrounds version, i'll try it there

it has been years since i even thought of this series lol, and i know very little of flash games in general

[hybrid dust]

Newgrounds is similar to onsite, but the difference from what I've learnt is that the site version steams in the assets compared to Newgrounds which has the assets.

[hybrid dust]

Yeah, that's what happens when someone is keen on TASing the entire series and doesn't want to miss anything (well besides a bug in Harvey's Box preventing progression at the current time).
Again it's fine if nothing can be done about it. Even in an external flash player I couldn't replicate it.

[last torrent]

ohh you're tasing it that's awesome

[hybrid dust]

Yeah. If you want a bit of a laugh I did do Case 23.

[last torrent]

oh boy i can't wait

i'll check after i try it here

nope it still does the same, i really have no idea

wish i could be of more help D:

[hybrid dust]

It's fine, it's fine.
Watching yours, and other runners runs back have been more helpful during the TASing process than anything else.

[last torrent]

^^ that's how i learnt how to run the games too so i can imagine

cool to see stuff happening with these games still 😄

oh jesus the sliding puzzle solved made me exclaim fuck you involuntarily

[hybrid dust]

💜

[last torrent]

oh yeah is the left puzzle there random or the same, i never bothered to check if it was consistent lol. i imagine it is since the other one is consistent

[hybrid dust]

Rotating Puzzle and Pipes have RNG.

[last torrent]

cool

[hybrid dust]

Yeah, now imagine if I knew how to exploit the sliding puzzle bug, then there'd be more question than answers.

[last torrent]

wait what sliding puzzle bug

[hybrid dust]

This.

[last torrent]

huh

[hybrid dust]

A piece slid under another one.

[last torrent]

interesting

no idea what you could exploit that for but interesting

[hybrid dust]

less moves on the puzzle most likely.

But getting that is more of a puzzle in of itself.

[last torrent]

oh you mean like "locking" one piece so you could move the top one over it maybe

[hybrid dust]

Imagine if the Sliding Puzzle was done with half the moves because of the layering bug.

[hybrid dust]

Cause in The Mill for instance the memory matching game can be done if your reactions are quick enough.

[last torrent]

oh wow

[hybrid dust]

Unfortunately no video (yet) cause I was a goof and TASed in the wrong framerate.

[last torrent]

ah, unfortunate

[hybrid dust]

So this would be insane.

[last torrent]

god this is making me almost want to relearn the games i learnt to beat the collection times

But yeah again, sorry i can't help more with the Case 23 thing, really wish I could. And please let me know when you do seasons, would be fun to see how much i get destroyed by the TAS there ^^

I'll stick around if you have questions about Seasons and i'll do my best to answer

[hybrid dust]

It's fine, it's fine. Seasons will be after Mill once I fix that-- or redo from scratch cause it was slightly annoying to make. :X

[last torrent]

Aww, well i wish you the best of luck!

[hybrid dust]

Thanks. I'll ping you when Seasons is done. Just been on a bit of a break from it to catch up on Publication work for TASVideos.

[last torrent]

Fairfair ^^ Also this is how i found out there's a new(ish) RL game so might need to find someone to play that with

Anyway, see ya around

[hybrid dust]

See you, and enjoy Past Within.

[crimson adder]

You can't leave the lake! I hope you'll enjoy tpw:)

[pearl crystal]

underground blossom on speedrun.com? 👉 👈

[crimson adder]

Once the full game is out:)

[pearl crystal]

oh, i thought that the TPW demo was on there, but double checking, it is not

[crimson adder]

indeed!

[languid heart]

✨

[indigo steeple]

is this considered as speedrunning

[crimson adder]

if you want to classify it as such sure

[frozen depot]

does speedrunning the demo version of underground blossom count

[idle trout]

There's no speedrun category for the UB demo yet, I'll ping @crimson adder , i think they're a mod for the RL speedrun.com to see if we Can add it or if the plan was to wait for full release

[crimson adder]

There actually is a ub demo category up!

Weird that you can't see it

Wait gimme a sec

https://www.speedrun.com/underground_blossom_demo?h=Any&x=7dge51x2 ah uh

I didnt set it up, it doesnt seem like its part of the rusty lake series?

well regardless I will be adding the full game to the series once it released and probably add the demo as an individual level

that shouldnt stop you from trying to run it, though!

[frozen depot]

i already ran it

[steep gulch]

What’s a speedrun? Is that like trying to solve the games as quickly as possible?

[rustic mango]

Yep! Some speedruns have specific categories or rules (no glitches, no major glitches, you have to also get a certain item, you have to 100% finish the game etc)
But generally it's just "beat the game as fast as you can from start to finish, no matter what"

This is the Rusty Lake page on speedrun.com https://www.speedrun.com/rustylake (lots of fun to look at)
But you can also look at different games on the site

[steep gulch]

Thank you

[rustic mango]

You're juuuust too late for this year's big summer speedrun marathon (GDQ=Games Done Quick, also a charity fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders and the Prevent Cancer Foundation), but if you happen to see something you like on the site, you could consider looking that up too

[hybrid dust]

There's more than just GDQ as a note.
ASM (Australian Speedrun Marathon) is currently on.
ESA (European Speedruner Assembly) starts next week.

[sweet ember]

i didn't record (sadly) but got this time

[wintry dove]

speedrun underground blossom in 5:20!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB52jnGS1Hw

[crimson adder]

O wow look at y'all go:)

[wintry dove]

i submitted the run in speedrun.com

[crimson adder]

ah yeah, someone did make a demo board huh

need to figure out if I can add that to the Rusty Lake series or not:/

[wintry dove]

yay

maybe not

[crimson adder]

I don't know who made the UB board, I just got an invite to become a mod lmao

but im sorta not happy with it being a demo board and just not have the full game in the series include the demo

[wintry dove]

make the full game then add that category in, i think

all of ur games are so cool

[crimson adder]

I'm just a mod, but thanks!

[wintry dove]

np

[wintry dove]

I did it from mobile, What do you think?

[crimson adder]

gg!

Figured out I can just add the game to the RustyLake series board myself, so the UB demo board is now found under the RL series:)

[wintry dove]

Thank you

[wintry dove]

underground blossom speedrun yayyyy

[ancient geyser]

Finally! After almost 100 runs I got the sub 4 and the WR

https://youtu.be/HbmEEiLdrTg

[crimson adder]

yooo youre both popping off!

[ancient geyser]

well nevermind, just found a new speedrun skip that allowed me to pb by 2 seconds even though the run wasn't optimized so back at grinding I guess

[wintry dove]

why is my time in the leaderboard 4:59? it supposed to be 4:41

[crimson adder]

Goodluck!

[crimson adder]

If I remember I'll have a look later.

[ancient geyser]

because you started your speedrun like 3 seconds late and ended it early by nearly 15 secs

[ancient geyser]

Thanks!

Btw here is my new pb

https://youtu.be/Himnd-BZCgY

[crimson adder]

so fast !!

[wintry dove]

i’m bad lol
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GUHe9JZGT58&pp=ygUcdW5kZXJncm91bmQgYmxvc3NvbSBzcGVlZHJ1bg%3D%3D

[crimson adder]

The funny number!!

I'm gonna be verifying some runs in a bit so look forward to that (if no ones gotten to them before me)

[ancient geyser]

True lol

But it will probably be retimed at 4:23 or 4:24 cause you didn't start when pressing the start button

[crimson adder]

Considering it's not in the video I don't think I can actually verify it. But I'll need to check with other runs first

Or maybe ill get to the runs later... speedrun.com is refusing to load for me atm! sorry

[ancient geyser]

Just tested it, it adds exactly 4 secs if you do it normally and 2.7/3 secs if you do the "intro skip"

[crimson adder]

there's an intro skip? all the more reason to have it be on recording

[ancient geyser]

Yeah, you press start then immediatly open and close the menu and the start turned into a continue, you press it and you're teleported in the metro.

[crimson adder]

ah yeah that'll definitely need to be in the recording:)

@wintry dove be sure to reupload if you still have the footage!!

[ancient geyser]

It only gains a second and it's not very clear but it's cool and i love timesaves

I'm not the one who came with it, I first saw Pla1n doing it in his runs

[crimson adder]

No matter the time saved, if its not included and we'd add the intro seconds to a run someone could make the argument of "well but i did the skip"

we'd need proof at that point!!

still fun to see all this tech for the game, I should throw my hat in the ring sometimes, when BG3 stops hogging all of my spare time

[wintry dove]

you’re good at math lol

[wintry dove]

nooooo, i lost it, maybe another video

[ancient geyser]

Thanks i just used my timer to estimate the time it takes to enter the metro

[wintry dove]

ow ok

[ancient geyser]

Gl on your next run btw!

[wintry dove]

thanks!

i found that there is 2 category: chapter 1 and chapter 2, but there is no run

[zealous hare]

Ez wr

[crimson adder]

Yeah I didnt set up those boards, but there are individual level runs

which is sort of unfortunate because you cant level select

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cyan iron]

My new pb)
https://youtu.be/QlRRtTZGLtY

[crimson adder]

Wow cool! Nice to see so many people running:)

[wintry dove]

omg so fastttt

[ancient geyser]

just got a 3:28 too lol

but I'm not so satisfied so i won't submit it for now

[crimson adder]

take your time !

[gleaming lotus]

(or don’t)

[ancient geyser]

And voila as we say in France, here it is

https://youtu.be/sQmM5QV11vU

[ancient geyser]

Nah it loses too much time

[wintry dove]

that’s wr, not pb, or whatever

bro ur guys are so fasttt

i give up

[crimson adder]

A wr is also someone's pb, usually;)

[crimson adder]

Practice makes perfect:)

[wintry dove]

i can’t pass 4m so ill take the 4:59

but my 4:25 speedrun, i have clicked the start button, go check

[wintry dove]

@crimson adder verify my run plsss

or not

[crimson adder]

I just checked speedrun.com, there's no runs for me to verify.

[wintry dove]

ogod

Ok

[crimson adder]

(either way I would've only gottem to it later today)

seems like someone beat me to it, though;)

[wintry dove]

ok

[wintry dove]

planning to do a slowrun, not speedrun

hehe

[crimson adder]

waiting for actual irl time for the trains to arrive before setting the clock

[wintry dove]

🙂

[wintry dove]

SLOWRUN UB in 24:15

https://youtu.be/70Eq4LB4bT8?si=8hrlZutKNcu6b4Oh

[ancient geyser]

lol

i like how you took 4 min to do the clock but only like 2 to make the actual tile puzzle

[wintry dove]

yes

im too bored at that puzzle

damy pls give me last place

i need it

i hope no one will beat it

[wintry dove]

you watched all of that?

whoa

[ancient geyser]

in x2 and skipped most of it lol

[ancient geyser]

i think it's impossible cause you already have a time on the leaderboard so it will only show your best one

[crimson adder]

Yeah that is correct

[wintry dove]

no

i created another one

another account

check again plss

im very tired at the clock part

[crimson adder]

@wintry dove Im not going to have you on the leaderboard twice, that would be unfair to other runners.

[wintry dove]

ok

:((((

well i keep mine, maybe ill run case 23

[crimson adder]

goodluck!

[wintry dove]

tks

[maiden coral]

I speedrun case 23 my final time is four minutes and 43 seconds

[wintry dove]

https://youtu.be/ldpfnBnaBKA?si=ECaE3dgx2SIs-Btv

[wintry dove]

leaderboard pls

[cyan iron]

Another my new pb
https://youtu.be/371mRM2Z6Wc?si=BNj6Cm94rJuZ0ljA

[crimson adder]

Cool!:) I'll be verifying runs after lunch if no one beats me to it!

[cyan iron]

Ok)

[wintry dove]

woooooh

[zealous hare]

Woaaaahhh and I thought 4:20 was fast

[gleaming lotus]

nice

[fiery nimbus]

Imma Speedrun TPW-L in less then a minute.

(past side BTW)

[crimson adder]

Goodluck!

[fiery nimbus]

No need for it...
I practiced enough

[wintry dove]

past is faster than future, but are there tpw speedrun categories??

[crimson adder]

I thought I made demo categories for tpw

[wintry dove]

idk

[ancient geyser]

Hey i'm back and finally, after like 3 or 4 hours of tryhard, I broke Pla1n112 record, I'm so happy

https://youtu.be/chO94JhLKKM

[crimson adder]

Gg:)

[cyan iron]

Ok, I'm back too:/
https://youtu.be/NT0Z-VpDDKs?si=b_PqCmo5XKOGgiJ7

[crimson adder]

Fight fight fight

(but respectfully by trying to take down the time even lower)

[wintry dove]

dude!!!!! so my phone got lagged at the ticket part, i cant speedrun anymore

[cyan iron]

my phone is always lagging)

[wintry dove]

i cant swipe

btw i wont speedrun

[zealous hare]

Nooo I'll miss you mr smirk 😭

[ancient geyser]

I won't let you have it

https://youtu.be/bkiSOWwDZ-I

[cyan iron]

Wow

[wintry dove]

lol

[cyan iron]

Well, I don't want to try UB anymore

Loulou won

[ancient geyser]

noooooo

this makes me happy and sad at the same time 😦

[wintry dove]

🙂

[zealous hare]

You were way ahead of the curve

[wintry dove]

now youre officially wr holder

[wintry dove]

wtf haha

[cyan iron]

Will anyone speedrun full version UB?

[ancient geyser]

yes I think I will

[wintry dove]

i don’t have money so no

[crimson adder]

Save up! You've still got a few weeks:)

[wintry dove]

I love the game so… i think i will

[subtle salmon]

i probably will after i complete it like normally yk

[cyan iron]

It's so good

A lot of people

[wintry dove]

4:41 again
https://youtu.be/YN26n-LHz8Q?si=GJQw2g1KXOBZdmkU

[ancient geyser]

nice!

and you have 2 times on the leaderboard because you did it on a different device

[cyan iron]

haha fr

[wintry dove]

really???

kinda unfair to runners

[crimson adder]

the moment the credits start rolling @ancient geyser

for 100% itll end when you open the menu to show 100% achievements

(because you can obtain a 100 in a few ways )

[cyan iron]

Is there already full version UB on speedrun com?)

[crimson adder]

we are working on it

the ownwer of the UB demo board is trying to get the name changed, iH avent checked in bc ive been too busy 😅

[cyan iron]

Ok)

[spare lava]

So this was the demo 👀

I was confused the entire time like how was this person able to complete a nearly 2 hour gameplay in 4 mins 😭

[spare lava]

Mine is 38:23 lmao. I've only played it 2 times though, 3 times counting now so I gotta play another round to be faster 🤣

[cyan iron]

Idk it's fast or not

But I believe you are strong runner

Btw what platform do you use to speedrun?

[ancient geyser]

As i was saying i use my phone

There is my any% pb for now, i'll send the 100% later to not risk being banned à second time : https://youtu.be/islC8jgdhEo?si=B3wTijfV9S6jpQbM

[cyan iron]

Well, ok

[crimson adder]

Cool:)

[wintry dove]

💀

i can’t beat these guys so im gonna slowrun, maybe like 4 hours

[cyan iron]

Just try more times)

[cyan iron]

Fr, we need more speedruners

There are not a lot of them

[ancient geyser]

I've only finished like 5 runs of each category, my pbs are 100% beatable

[wintry dove]

r u sure?

[crimson adder]

practice makes perfect:)

[wintry dove]

💀

[ancient geyser]

Yep, I made some bad mistakes, I think à minute timesave is totally possible

[wintry dove]

try again 🙂

im taking a break from slowrunning the game

[wintry dove]

ogosh i accidentally deleted the footage!!!!!!!

[cyan iron]

Oh no

[hybrid dust]

Recent releases of Ruffle (used for TASing) actually broke Samsara Room (2013) when it was done in a TAS enviroment.

Which is a shame, considering it all graphically works now.

[crimson adder]

Awh:(

[crimson adder]

just quickly popped over to Speedrun.com UB is now a full category:)

[crimson adder]

(still need to add non demo boards forgot to mention but we'll get there!)

[crimson adder]

all ready

[cyan iron]

Good job)

[bright slate]

amazing

if anyone doesn't know, damy and I moderate speedruns

[crimson adder]

yeah and I just messed up by orphaning a bunch of runs, if you notice a run was orphaned please resubmit it

I'm trying to fix it but I dont know how to view all Orphaned runs on speedrun.com lol

[bright slate]

lol i wanna rerun my old run today

[ancient geyser]

Yay, i'll post my runs later today

[gleaming lotus]

<@&358613639554400258>

[last dune]

💚ayo....speedrun?? 👀👀

💚so whats the general strats? Ig it would vary from game to game but what sort of stuff is typical?

[crimson adder]

It's knowing what puzzles can be skipped, the least amount of screen transistions to get through the game

knowing where a quick menu open and close is useful, execute well on puzzles.

[last dune]

💚puzzles can be skipped?

💚hm i guess some could if they just unlock codes for other puzzles that you can know beforehand

💚but i was under the impression most puzzles unlock items

[crimson adder]

it definitely depends on the game.

but for example in CE the Cave if you know the patterns to unlock the big door you can just skip the entire cave section

[last dune]

💚been too long since we played cave but what i do remember is it gave us a lot of trouble. Puzzles were too high iq for us

💚so what sorts of categories are there? Saw 100% and any%. Saw also emblem % on roots. What is that. The category rules are super unclear.

[crimson adder]

Ive not actually looked carefully at the rules for emblem% but I assume that involved playing roots + the secret level

the fun of Roots without the tediousness of getting all the chievos

[last dune]

💚i assume 100% tends to be getting all achievements and secrets or whatever?

[crimson adder]

yeag

[last dune]

💚funky

💚ive been slowly getting back into speedrunning so i might fuck around and find out

[idle trout]

I also love how Ch1 of Case 23 can be solved in like 2 seconds

[frozen depot]

it took me like 2 weeks 😭

[maiden coral]

Guys, I speed run school Street in under 2 minutes

[cyan iron]

It's good

But I think it's possible to achieve time about in 1 minute there

[ancient geyser]

Yeah it's pretty good!

[ancient geyser]

Depends how you count it, my pb on this one is 1:44 including the cutscene of the metro but without it I think it's possible

[cyan iron]

Without cutscene

[final flower]

Is there any BR here??

[crimson adder]

#🌐｜canal-português

[wintry dove]

THE MILL!!!!!!!

https://youtu.be/xSYtvw1PPRk?si=iqkXlHm8A1CJJy0G

oh god this is insane

give me last place plsssssssss

[crimson adder]

If you have the patience to slowrun the games, im sure you'll have the patience it takes for the run to be verified.

[wintry dove]

ok

[cyan iron]

Haha, it's great

[wintry dove]

thanks

[ancient geyser]

I love this concept lol, but gl to the mod that'll have to watch it entirely

[chilly flint]

Hi there

https://youtu.be/RoG4H_4qekU

This is my first speedrun

THE MILL!!!!!!!!!

With all achivements

[cyan iron]

Oh, The Mill is back

[wintry dove]

ye

[ancient geyser]

Nice!

[wintry dove]

i can only see the corner

mhm

[ancient geyser]

Same

[crimson adder]

just a head's up, we've decided to no longer verify slowruns as acceptable speedruns on the speedrun leaderboards.

[wintry dove]

oh ok

just doing slowruns for fun tho

[crimson adder]

That's still definitely fine, we just won't be verifying them on the leaderboards

[plain stag]

what is the fastest Samara room speedrun?

[crimson adder]

https://www.speedrun.com/samsara_room 5m 46s:)

[plain stag]

wow, thats fast

[plain stag]

Like I have a problem

My file is to big

[crimson adder]

Upload it to youtube:)

[wintry dove]

what about my ub demo slowrun?

[chilly flint]

Cube Escape: Seasons All Achivements Speedrun 11:05

[gleaming lotus]

how exactly do slowruns work?

like if i left my computer running and go out for dinner then sleep does it count

[chilly flint]

Slowrun is: Completing a game with the intent of having the slowest possible time, often in competition with other slowrunners to have the best, slowest time. Many slowruns last several hours, days, or even weeks. Slowruns are often viewed as videos or demos.

[wintry dove]

definitely yes

but it is kinda hard tho

u need to change some settings and charge ur laptop or something like that

[chilly flint]

Cube Escape: The Lake Speedrun All Achivements

[ancient geyser]

That brings back my want to speedrun some cube escape games, i'll probably do some runs soon

[crimson adder]

Heck yeah:)

[chilly flint]

Cube Escape: Arles Speedrun All Achivements

[wintry dove]

tryhard 💀

keep going!

[chilly flint]

Thank you

I think this is a new world record for launching the most RL games in the shortest time)

[chilly flint]

Cube Escape: Theater All Achivements Speedrun

[crimson adder]

Nice:)

[bright slate]

welcome @chilly flint

im moderator on speedrun.com here

[wintry dove]

maybe add “all achievements” category in the games

for him

[crimson adder]

100% should be available for all the games im pretty sure

[chilly flint]

https://youtu.be/Nj38xwqDCf8?si=OzWQjz5kczAQhfJx

[chilly flint]

That's fast

[cyan iron]

Ty ty ty :]

[rustic nebula]

Are there any random things in UB?
Like in case 23 there's this thing which is random afaik, same puzzle in UB isn't random. So can it be polished to perfect speedrun without luck?

[crimson adder]

I actually havent paid attention to see if the tile puzzles in UB are randomised

but its a good call

[rustic nebula]

At least tree one in ch2 isn't, after chapter reset

also tried speedrunning ch1 from pc, welp
It's possible to go sub-2 min at the edge, but nowhere close to 1:30 from mobile from loulou885. It's much worse in terms of controls

[crimson adder]

Interesting I have always assumed a touchscreen would potentially be the fastest way to do these games.

I just really like mouse and keyboard ;-;

[rustic nebula]

Yeah, being able to touch screen from both sides with no time delays for that is W for speedruns of this kind of games
But we do have different categories and platforms, so it's fine

Haven't tried speedrunning full UB, but I assume it'll be near 30-min mark based on that time difference

[crimson adder]

Yeah ive been meaning to get a full run on the board ive just been busy

[ancient geyser]

Yeah, that's why I play it on my phone, it's more precise and easier than using a mouse. Btw i don't think it would lose 10 minutes, a 25 min seems obtainable on pc. (Even though I have never tried)

[ancient geyser]

I don't think any of the puzzle are random in UB but if I remember well, in the demo, the tree one was random

[ancient geyser]

I did like 400 runs of the demo so I know this chapter pretty well and have almost all the inputs memorized so it helps a lot

[wintry dove]

no way

[ancient geyser]

That's what it says on the app I use to time my runs but that also counts my resets and back then, i would reset if i was 2 seconds slower than my pb so it added up very quickly

[hybrid dust]

Both puzzles at that section in Case 23 is random.

[midnight reef]

I am shocked that there’s a speedrun channel and now I’m tempted to speedrun Paradise but I have no idea how to do speedruns

[ancient geyser]

It depends on the game you want to speedrun. If it's a cube escape, you don't need that much prep but if you choose Paradise, roots,etc, i highly recommend you to write down the route you are taking with all the solutions, so you have no hesitation

Then when you juste record your runs and submit the best one on speedrun .com (a timer isn't mandatory but it probably helps the mods time the run)

And don't forget to check the rules of the category you'll run

[crimson adder]

And have fun!:)

[wintry dove]

wait what is paradise?

[crimson adder]

Rusty Lake paradise

it's a game by Rusty Lake

[wintry dove]

oh ok

[plain stag]

My first speedrun! CE: Lake, 2,55 , All achievements

[wintry dove]

Birthday, 9 minutes (my first try)
Btw soundtrack sounds so funny in speed up

[orchid scroll]

Lmaoo the soudntrack is actually hilarious, great speedrun !

[sudden solstice]

the cake thing is a pain in the ass, impressive you did that so easily

[topaz kayak]

Case 23 AND The Mill.
I don't have any videos sadly
||honestly just did this bc I saw a 1:00:00 vid of these two and thought "i can do it faster 😤"||

[sick girder]

omg

men

[sick girder]

jeje

[wintry dove]

actually that 1 hour run is me playing the game as slow as possible

[cyan iron]

:3

[bright slate]

send more speedruns guys i will verify that

[crimson adder]

haha sorry i just verified the last one waiting

[bright slate]

oh ah

alright

we need more speedruns

[crimson adder]

cant speedrun speedrun perfection, unfortunately!

[bright slate]

haha, speedrun UB guys too

[cyan iron]

Haha

[ancient geyser]

Yeah I'm the only one that has runs on the full version, that's sad

[radiant coral]

What’s the record for Birthday?

[crimson adder]

Can't say from the top of my head but there's a speedrun .com page for it!

[radiant coral]

Ok will look

I’m actually really good at remembering and doing stuff fast so

Did the 4 minute one actually do it?

Cause it says 6 minutes

Was 1#

[crimson adder]

Sorry not sure what you mean with that

[finite cape]

i think they were asking if the 4 min one was real or cheated

[crimson adder]

It was verified on Mobile so it should be fine

I suppose the page does show Web first but there's different platforms to submit runs on

[wintry dove]

where did u play it

if in cube escape collection: 5:46.420
if in web: 6:20
if in mobile (apple, android or whatever): 4:13.740
go upload it in youtube and submit ur run in the platform u played

[cyan iron]

in fact it's easier to speedrun some RL games on phone than on pc, in addition Birthday is one of the best my games me to run)

[orchid scroll]

that is true i feel like the entire point-and-click genre is made to be a lot easier to use on touchpad than keyboard and mouse

hoping the next games will have keyboard binding support

[wintry dove]

i hope that too, in mobile u can click and interact many times using fingers, but in computer there is only 1 mouse so interacting is harder

[orchid scroll]

yeah !

[wintry dove]

but i speedran ub demo in computer and its kinda fun

[cyan iron]

Will anyone speedrun UB full version btw?

I will not

Loulou885 is the only one who did it(

[cyan iron]

I have big problems to get the game on phone, and my pc is too bad for a speedrun

[crimson adder]

its a different leaderboard, definitely give it a go;)

[cyan iron]

Hmmm

it will be cool if there are a lot of players

UB is just not popular(

[crimson adder]

Haha the Rusty Lake speedrunning scene just isn't massive but that's okay:)

[cyan iron]

Yes... but hoped UB would be more popular

And due to the lack of competition, motivation to speedrun disappears

[wintry dove]

definitely im tired of speedrunning, maybe ill stop

[crimson adder]

Don't force yourself! it shouldn't be unfun.

[zenith prawn]

I'm too tired, but we're here, Cube Escape: The Lake Speedrun at 1:20, Normal Ending on mobile, This is my first Speedrun lol

[cyan iron]

it's good! keep it going!)

[wintry dove]

u can submit it in speedrun.com and u will stand in top 5

but still cool:)

[wintry dove]

i only got 11:17 :((((

[cyan iron]

But it was a legendary run)

[zenith prawn]

Ahh okok

[cyan iron]

in fact it's too hard to speedrun «The Lake» for me

I think people speedrunning «The Lake» are really strong players)

[wintry dove]

u got 4:13 on birthday :((

[cyan iron]

yes, but I'm sure everyone can beats my pb

I made a lot of mistakes in my run

[cyan iron]

[zenith prawn]

Finally the trick worked, the painting is easier doing that

[crimson adder]

always record your runs! but its good practive, either way

[wintry dove]

hey can you add the speedrun mode to the game, and the timer is on the corner? ik its hard sorry

[wintry dove]

oi

[crimson adder]

you're free to suggest something like this to #💭｜suggestions-and-feedback, but I dont personally see it happening any time soon

[cyan iron]

it's about birthday, right?

[wintry dove]

ye

[cyan iron]

oh, it was really so close to wr

I hope you will beat wr

[cyan iron]

But will you continue?

[wintry dove]

no

:))))

[plain stag]

@crimson adder sorry for bothering you, but i think there is no way to have that speedrun stopwatch on iOS, is there any problem?

[crimson adder]

if you just upload the video to youtube we can time it from there

just be sure to really include the start screen and the run starting and the end screen for a few seconds that makes timing it a bit easier.

[plain stag]

So I need to include the play button screen, the run, and the end for a few seconds?

[crimson adder]

yes please

(every run needs to, but especially when we're timing off a video having those in makes it a bit easier)

[plain stag]

Thank you Damy

Just one more thing, is there any problem if I already have all the achievements, bcz i want to speedrun in Any% and not 100%

[crimson adder]

any% is no issue, in that case.

[plain stag]

So i don’t need to reset my achievements?

[crimson adder]

that is correct.

[plain stag]

Ok thx

[wintry dove]

yay https://youtu.be/feuW93G6o-k?si=X0Am0BbOoA_aBDKf

[ancient geyser]

Ayy that's pretty good

[wintry dove]

hey i got 2 runs on the leaderboard, can you pls remove my 4:40 run pls

im using iphone 6 so thats why i got dumb speedruns, theyre laggy and pretty hard to interact

[crimson adder]

Is this for the UB demo?

[wintry dove]

ye

[crimson adder]

lemme have a look

should be out

[wintry dove]

thank you very much!!! 😁

[crimson adder]

id also suggest removing the youtube video

if you dont want others to see it.

[wintry dove]

ok

oh god that was the most viewed video i ever made :((((

ill keep it then, oh yeah theres still runs that way slower than that

[crimson adder]

I'm fine with your decision, but please do keep in mind that I'm not at your disposal on a whim.

[errant raven]

Do I have to have a channel of some sort to post a speed run??

[orchid scroll]

this one ! or perhaps on rusty lake's speedrun page on https://www.speedrun.com/series/rustylake

[errant raven]

I mean a yt or twitch channel or something like that

[orchid scroll]

?

[crimson adder]

Yeah, if you want to upload them to the speedrun.com website youll need to have a link

but if you just want to share them here, you an just drop mp4 files if the files aresmall enough

[errant raven]

Do I just put the video here or link

[errant raven]

Okay

[errant raven]

Yeah cuz some would take more than an hour

[polar loom]

hey there, do u know if it's allowed to play windowed for speedruns?

to make mouse movement quicker

@crimson adder i'm sorry for pinging u, but u're one of the mods on speedrun.com for RL games, right?

[crimson adder]

I am a mod everywhere

and also I dont see the issue with this.

[polar loom]

thankss

also if the game is stretched in a weird way??

[crimson adder]

I, again, don';t see an issue with that. I doubt theres a lot of timesave there but id gladly be proven wrong

just be sure your entire window is being captured.

[polar loom]

oh yeah, i just realized that the game doesnt fill in the entire window

so it's useless to stretch it in a weird way

[errant raven]

stretch it downward

[crimson adder]

Rectangle Escape

[errant raven]

XD

[polar loom]

ok i'm mad

i did eveything perfect and at the end i clicked too fast and the paint thing disappeared

it's invisible

😭

it was the perfect run

[plain stag]

Lake magic

[polar loom]

rusty lake untold speedrun

[orchid scroll]

the DM must be a very fast talker haha

[polar loom]

ahhahah

[eternal knoll]

Hello, i was wondering: i suppose writing a program clicking at the right places wouldnt be accepted as a speedrun, right?

[pearl crystal]

I imagine not, as thats just cheating lmao, not even a TAS

[eternal knoll]

yes I agree, just thought it would be funny to see at what speed it could theoretically be finished

[vast jetty]

that's what a TAS is

[eternal knoll]

what does TAS mean?

oh is it theoretical achievable score?

[finite cape]

no, its tool assisted speedrun

[eternal knoll]

oh ok thanks

[polar loom]

i think that's a TAS, isnt it?

[crimson adder]

I think it would cound under a TAS, yeah.

bc you're using a tool to assist your speedrun

but pedantics aren't important

a run like that wouldnt be allowed on the leaderboard

but id personally love to see it

[polar loom]

yeah, it makes sense

[polar loom]

me too

[plain stag]

I think it is not very difficult to make

It’s literally an auto clicker

Theres plenty on the internet

But yeah it prob won’t count

[crimson adder]

That's exactly what I'm saying!

[polar loom]

i can't find a proper one tho, cuz it need to be programmable

[stark ibex]

I could probably program one if I wasn't so busy atm lol

[orchid scroll]

such a flex tbh

[eternal knoll]

I'll try to do one, I'll put a video when finished (if I manage to)

[eternal knoll]

Chose promise chose due, here is a speedrun of the lake in just below one minute. I could probably optimize it more, but at some points when clicking too fast the run may become instable, and some objects may disappear.

[ancient geyser]

Wow that's really cool, you absolutely nailed it, I don't really think there would be much more to optimize

[crimson adder]

haha that's great.

[hybrid dust]

and some objects may disappear
Gosh that sounds like a challenge, but unfortunately Ruffle (for TASing) doesn't support Collection.

[eternal knoll]

Yeah I didn't use any specific tool (just Python), so I just put some delay between the clics but I couldn't reduce it too much due to the disappearance issues. Though at speficic times I could probably reduce it, but it would be quite long to do it manually

[fervent goblet]

cool

[polar loom]

that's really cool but i have a few questions, why did u put first the normal gem and then the green one? and why did u put everytime the objects you obtained on the tree? picking them up first and placing them all together is faster.

[ancient geyser]

I believe it's because he didn't want the objects on the second page because iirc, when u use something that was on the second page of the inventory, it closes it and you have to reopen it every time wich results in timeloss

[polar loom]

it's not a time loss, look at the world record

[ancient geyser]

pretty sure it's on an older version that was slightly different and faster

but of course it can be what he prefered to do

[eternal knoll]

Indeed there are probably ways to optimize it further, but having two pages of inventory slows down since there was a significant delay to open the second page, and I think that it closes every time, so there's a tradeoff to find there. If I have the time I will try the things you suggest to see if it improves, thanks for the suggestions!

[crimson adder]

I hadn't even considered the inventory slow downs, but that's an excellent point!

[hybrid dust]

If there was tools for the Collection version I would be down for dissecting that query deeper, due to the logic an execution being different between versions.

[crimson adder]

Can't help there, I'm afraid

[hybrid dust]

Native Linux port never. 😔

[zenith latch]

Rahhh French 🇫🇷

[leaden prawn]

can I submit a speed run of the seperated one? if I can, which category should I choose if I speedrun seperated one?

[crimson adder]

Sorry could you be more specific?

[leaden prawn]

if I speedrun cube escape: seasons (not the one in collection), can I submit this?

[crimson adder]

yeah no worries

[leaden prawn]

which category should I choose?

[crimson adder]

we just have a "seasons" category

[leaden prawn]

sorry, I mean collection, web, mobile categories

[crimson adder]

collection, in that case.

[leaden prawn]

thank you

[leaden prawn]

this is my first seasons speedrun. (I made mistakes but I submitted)

[zenith latch]
