- Thoughts on making a kind of marathon specific category for Anachronox?
- Any% skips like everything. sick af to watch but hard to appreciate.
- Glitchless takes so long that it grows boring. While awesome to see the whole picture of the game, it loses some excitement factor.
- NMG is impossible because there are literally SO many things you would have to make a specific judgement call on you'd never be able to say "this glitch but not this one"
- I want to kind of blend the three in a marathon specific, most entertaining, get the most out of the game content/route, lowest needless down time kind of way.
- I want the scenes, the gameplay, the combat, the story to be shown. It's an amazing entertainment value game to witness.
- However, say for instance, the combat leg to the first boss early on.
- there are a ton of fights. more fights than you need to be at an appropriate level to be able to defeat the boss.
- animations take forever, healing items get gouged, and you end up with more exp than you'd need
- Imagine that for the majority of the game. just a lot of excess time in fights and stuff that are otherwise not detrimental to gameplay, the route, or viewing experience
- So id like to, once i have the exp i need, use the battle skip glitch to skip the fights after I reach what I need exp wise.
- "make it NMG"
- well, sure.
- but there are so many glitches and skips it'd be impossible to justify picking some over others.
- so, my thought, is to make something that shows as much of the game as possible, get what parts I need from combat and such, then use glitches to expedite it to reduce downtime and maximize the entertainment value. Call it Showcase% or something and tailor it for my own fun runs and marathons.
- kind of make calls on what glitches i decide to allow in it or not based on how clean the run is, etc
- the pros :
- If a run is going badly i can incorporate more stuff as I go to speed up and meet estimates. Warps, OOB, etc that I'd try to abstain from but could use in a pinch if run falls behind and such or just for more flash.
- Shows all of the good stuff, speeds up the more mundane stuff for entertainment purposes.
- the cons :
- super loose on ruling and what can even be decisively a "category"
- if someone asks i legit have to just be like "well its whatever glitches i feel like doing"
- so comparing PBs or splits and stuff might be wonky
- Essentially, I wanna show off funny skips and cutscenes and fights and stuff. I don't want to show all the slower stuff off and that's where the glitches and shit come into play. Anachronox is FILLED with content and side stuff etc.
- I want to be able to trim the stuff out that isn't necessary for me to be able to continue the run and keep a routes integrity.
- just kind of struggling to come up with a way to do that
