Why is it being run at AGDQ

People keep asking for obscure and seldom run games at GDQs so here we are.

That I can't answer except "they probably planned things before MN9 was a bomb and hoped it would fill the niche MN9 couldn't since it just released."

Mighty Gunvolt was literally created as a free giveaway game. That's why it is what it is. It was something thrown together for super-cheap to promote other games. Any "why is it this way?" questions can be answered with "two interns threw it together on their lunch break."

It suddenly all makes sense...except for why people are trying to speedrun it.

Since I can't be bothered to google;

now that we know the Mighty No. 9 kickstarter was a complete farce, how's it looking for that Castlevania kickstarter I can't remember the name of? I remember I was excited by it when it was announced but I never gave any money to it. Is it looking promising or bad?

It actually had a demo released that wasn't garbage so its probably gonna be fine.

Bloodstained is looking way better, barring a horrible pivot into development hell like MN9 it'll turn out good

also if it's at all like the agdq event, they explained mechanics REALLY well and had great commentary and the run itself was really cool with some neat glitches. different runner, but same couch, I think.

So much so that I am legit wondering how this game never had any legal problems. Like, it looks like one of those mobile clones that straight up rips assets.

Yeah, it looks fine so far, although it's still really early into development. Visually it's already leaps and bounds ahead of MN9.

I don't care what it looks like, Ape Escape is a great game (and also a great speedgame once they get the slingshot).

Someone actually did speedrun all the quest for glory games in about 90 minutes for the RPG marathon. The devs were on the line too it's actually pretty neat.

mega man legends and it's spin-off and sequel are the only 3d ps1 games that actually still look good and they had a ridiculous amount of time spent creating textures for facial expressions so that the cutscene angles wouldn't make characters look weird
