Samsara, have you made any progress on the run? I haven't seen anyone contribute anything to this since you last posted here in 2015. Perhaps you've had to restart all progress on the run, so I have a few suggestions of what you can do if you're willing to do this again:
- There needs to be a lot of luck manipulation done so you get the shortest lines of dialogue from the villagers you talk to while doing Tom Nook's chores. Oh, and, during the chores, so you get a table that takes up 2 spaces in your house in order to perform the one glitch that's necessary for an all-debts run.
- In this game (and City Folk), every town starts with six villagers, one of each personality. I thought of six villagers with names under 5 letters in length that could live here; they're Bob, Lily, Jay, Gabi, Mint, and Rolf. Unfortunately, some of their catchphrases are a little long (for instance, Jay's "heeeeeyy"), so I've decided on six other villagers whose catchphrases are under 5 letters in length: Amelia ("cuz"), Mitzi ("mew"), Apollo ("pah"), Pinky ("wah"), Biskit ("dawg"), and Ace ("ace"...pfft). Or, as a speed-entertainment tradeoff, there could be a mix of villagers from these two groups or maybe a few other villagers in this game that I'm fond of being in the town, some of those being Snake, Lucy, Astrid, Chief, Filbert, and Bangle. The heavy amount of botting that has to be done to ensure that every one of the villagers from any of these groups, especially the second one, live in the town is the hardest and longest part, and trying to keep the layout that RachelB's WIP got in the process would most likely add on to the amount of time that it'd take for the bot to get the result we want.
- Whichever lines of dialogue from Rover take the shortest amount of frames to display, these lines have to be gotten to in the run to ensure the fastest time.
Unfortunately, this is all I can do to help, mostly because I'm very inexperienced at TASing with Dolphin due to not having done it before. I'll probably add more suggestions in the future, along with wondering if a run that only does the chores and watches the credits is worthy of publication here. Or maybe one that manages to do as much as possible in the game as quickly as possible. Or even one that does the chores, pays off all of the debts, and then watches the credits. Who knows what will be accepted here?
