This is going to be awesome!! Here's the link to the leaderboard by the way: www.speedrun.com/TetherGeist?h=chapter-1-christmas-demo-herbs&x=l_ewpmymlw-ndxvq952
one thing to know when you are a dev approaching a speedrun community: if they fuond a major glitch in a any% category DO NOT FIX the glitch/bug unless it's happening during normal play and influencing casual player, and if you actually need to fix it, always be sure to be very vocal about the reason you have to change it and let the speedrun comunity know beforehand.
I think so far, he has done a pretty good job of keeping fun bugs. He has actually kept alot of cutscene skips, and he is pretty supportive of speedrunners
Very cool and wholesome initiative, I will try out the game :) Just a suggestion, if top 3 win the money, wwhy not have a 3-way race event, give more players more chance, and its more exciting to follow 3 players rather then two. While you're at it, maybe add yourself, the dev, to have it a 4-way race, and give more speedrunners the chance to race against you. But that's combining already two events, so I dunno, do you

And you can have optional beta on steam with previous version with that glitch
That's great to hear, it's a good idea to create bonds between members of the community
ayy back in 2021 I came 2nd in the Tethegiest demo speedrun you held
You're still an honored member of our discord server :)
Great initiative from fans and community! I love that spirit!
If I had steam I would wishlist your game in a heartbeat ❤

Great suggestions. This certainly won't be the last speedrun event!
What a fun idea! I LOVED the game but kinda sucked haha, so I probably won't participate myself─ but I wish everyone the best of luck!!
Great idea!!
This sounds exciting and scary
honestly a great idea to boost your game and a chance for people to earn some money😁
Epik
I’d love to enter but I’ll have to wait for the Mac build to release.
Ya. Cool
