New Speedruns contest!
NEW CONTEST! IT'S TIME TO BE A REAL SPEEDRUNNER!
What does it consist of?
In the Fitxel Zone, a new area has been created in honor of the fastest pixels in the System, you can participate in 4 modes:
🔹 Any%: beat the story mode as fast as possible.
🔹 100%: beat the story mode 100% (all collectibles of clothes, eyes and rockets) as fast as possible.
🔹 Less jumps: beat the story mode with the least number of jumps in the shortest time possible.
🔹 No death: complete the story mode without dying in the shortest time possible.
How to participate?
You must record the game on video, upload the video to Youtube and ask for a review at: https://www.speedrun.com/depo
Once your attempt is validated you will appear in the ranking.
Is there a prize?
The top 3 of each modality will have a statue with their name and their best time in the Fitxel Zone, and they will be able to choose the clothes they will wear on their statue!
In addition, as long as you are in the top 3 of a category you will win the role of "Bill, the speedrunner" on the Discord server.
How often are the in-game statues updated?
Approximately every 15-30 days if there are changes in the top 3.
What are the rules?
- The recording should have no cuts or editing, it should be done all in a row.
- The timer must start right when you choose difficulty when creating a new game.
- The stopwatch stops at the start of the last cinematic when leaving the red pixel's house.
- It is not obligatory to use the splits that are discussed below, but they help to practice and to know the current time in each section.
(OPTIONAL) What are splits?
The splits are different points that are created before starting the speedrun to have a reference through a program.
After passing that area of the game marked in the split, the time taken to pass it is shown (the speedrunner must press the 0 key of the numeric pad to register it).
(OPTIONAL) How do I generate splits for DEPO?
1. Placing the splits is very simple, just download the LiveSplit program from this web: https://livesplit.org/downloads/
2. Download these templates of splits and layout on DEPO that I have generated for you: https://www.speedrun.com/resourceasset/i3rnu (Although you can create your own if you want)
3. Once you have downloaded the program, open it and right click on the window and click on Open Split and select the Split you downloaded in step 2.
4. Right click again and select Open Layout and choose the one you downloaded in step 2.
Now you have everything set up to start speedrunning professionally!
Remember, to start counting the time and to pass from split you must press the 0 key on the number pad on the right side of the keyboard. Press the 3 key on the number pad to reset the counter.
