I was doubtful after googling and seeing nothing but terrible art but holy poo poo this game looks cool as gently caress in gameplay

It feels like a classic genesis game to play. I'm so glad it became what it is now after starting out as just a Sonic fangame.

I like how you'll always see flight in 2D Mario, scrolling in Sonic games and exploiting screen transitions in Castlevania games.

Shut the gently caress up and watch the run.

edit: i have no idea who those people are on the couch and I'm scared

Well, that one guy seems to be giving good insight and the runner is doing alright, so all okay, I guess? (so far at least)

e: Dev commentary!

He's Brazillian, he can't speak very good English.

Seriously, I've known the guy for like, slightly over half a year and he started off so shy he couldn't and wouldn't even talk to any of us and I've spent the past loving forever getting the guy to open up and egg him on to submit his poo poo to GDQ this year and now he's actually here doing the run in front of so many people, he's come so loving far in his confidence in such a short time

and that's wonderful

It sounds like the devs of the game are doing what the Ori and the Blind Forest devs did as far as speedrunners are concerned where they only change exploits if it really breaks the game which is cool.

Strife actually patched a skip in for us, because we found a thing that really broke the game's timing method so we asked him to fix the timing method and not the skip.

He did. Strife is a cool dude and was really friendly to me in my attempts to organise dev commentary for this run. He's pretty nice.

That skip was one of the most confusing and awesome things I've ever seen speedrunners do btw. On par with Replay Glitch for GTA:Vice City.

Freedom Planet is a pretty good Sonic/Genesis-style game. It has a bad story that you can completely skip if you so desire and three characters that play pretty differently.

stream crash?

The capture card drivers are being super finicky this time around, this is the third time they've caused a crash right as something was going on with an HDMI source. In this case it was turning the 360 off.

We have a new HDMI switch so I'm tempted to blame that.

I have two things to do with game selection.

1. gently caress.
2. All.

We have enough volunteers this time around that basically all of the grunt work is covered and I only have to worry when things catch on fire. Which other than the blue screens has been thankfully rare.

I was under the impression that the runner doesn't really want to talk and is pretty shy in general. Socks guy seems to have been giving pretty good constant information about what's happening
