I don't have any plans for future projects, yet. There are improvements to make on the Gen I any% which can bring the time down to about 20-22min, but I probably won't do that, at least not right now. I'll probably look out for a different game. I like the automated approach I used for the Pokémon games, and I'm sure there are other games that could benefit from that as well, it's just hard to find a good target.
It can be difficult to justify spending that much time on a game. The Gen I and II Pokémon games had probably the ideal preconditions: They have an active community, the GB platform is comparatively easy to understand, use and automate, the games have been largely disassembled (which is a big deal for automation), it benefits greatly from the automated approach, GB has the best debugging emulator I've seen so far (praise the bgb :D), I felt nostalgia since I played them as a kid, the games are rather popular, etc. It's hard to find a game that compares to that.
Bomberman?Megaman Battle Network?

Another part I should have elaborated more on. To my knowledge most glitches that end in a crash usually mean they have potential for ACE.
not necessarily,that's just not how it works, cuz not all crashes are results of being able to access and modify data in any part of the game's code.Just because u accessed something u shouldn't,doesnt mean u have full control of what u access.

Don't get me wrong,i love bomberman TASes,i just want to warn you how much harder it will be to get it published(i wish i had these tools in my knowledge but there are few bomberman fans in speedrunning,just as other games i wish to see more speedruns)
RNG will combine item layout with block layout for the fastest combination possible.

If you can get some help with people who are keen on RNG,memory adresses and these kinds of sorcery,it would be very helpful.My TAS for bomberman 3 was very criticized for not having these,also,it eventually became clear that speed shoes are very important to be collected and even if you finish an earlier stage faster without them,the speed will snowball into faster stage completions later(specially with soft block/wall passthrough item).Go to the discussion page and see it for yourself;
