This doesn't feel optimized to me. There are a lot of parts where you wait or backstep to avoid enemies. I wonder if there's a better way to manipulate them or avoid them.
Nice TAS! Still slightly boring, and it doesn't deserve a Moon, so Meh vote. Definitely publish to Vault though! By the way, I think you used bold instead of strikethrough for part of your submission text. And what are all those things Dr. Frankenstein has to run through when he touches the green platform to reach Frankenstein? Bats?
The recent monopoly discussion reminded me of this TAS I made six years ago. There are faster runs that abuse trading and other stuff, but this one is funny because the CPU goes bankrupt one minute after end of input. The CPU even buys houses and hotels!
I remember this submission. It's nice, but unfortunately it does not satisfy the requirements of Vault. It's not a game, and it doesn't reach the end as fast as possible.
I want to be honest and I hope I don't come across as a greedy bastard with this, but the reason why I held off with submitting this run is because I am interested in the ad revenue that I can make from my uploaded videos (which I put much effort into, after all). And submitting a TAS means that basicly everyone can reupload the TAS on their channel if they wanted, essentially taking away viewers and possibly leaving my video in the shade while the video by one of the encoders may become much more popular.
Doesn't the game increase in difficulty after the first level?
Whilst I fully agree with the idea behind the vault; 'every game has a place here for a TAS of it'... You do realize you seem to be having a serious discussion about Desert Bus right? No one here wants to to take a step back and just think about that for a second?
While the 14% categories are technically obsoleted by the glitched 6% run, they still showcase some interesting strategies. I'd vote Yes for both of them to be published to the Vault.
But the timing mechanism does, and in this game, it's not that much different from score.
I'd be in favor of a max score publication. Why bother going beyond that?
Yes vote for the "vault" (it feels a little discriminatory name, though, complete with the opressive, dull gray logo).
Hi. I've stumbled upon this video, and vaguely remembered hearing this music before. I'm not exactly certain if it was from a game, but if so, can anyone please tell me what game was it?
If one is to do it again how's about with less spam-age and killing ears?
Why not publish it? Desert Bus is somewhat popular. This should help draw people to the site. Yes vote for publication (I suppose the judge decides where it goes). The only question is how anyone would ever encode this, especially in an acceptable quality and fitting within video site time and file size limits.
so we have the Vault And I would like to put in some kind of clause that suggests a minimum amount of "TAS skill" if the wording can be clear enough (I want to minimize subjectiveness for this tier). So should there be a minimum clause? And should we draw the line below or above this submission? Discuss!
I definitely am looking for some discussion here. Even for a the Vault tier, where game choice is not an issue. Is this still something that should be published? If not, why? What about the requirements could be changed to clearly draw a line between then and "more worthy" game choices? I hope to flesh out some clarification based on the discussion ehre.
So this has been unrejected and considered for the Vault tier. I find this game to be a good fringe case for the vault requirements. Primarily the "must be clearly a game". What I mean is, how official should these games be? This is a pretty amateur job, with no QA thus easily exploited. Usually when we think of games we think of official commercial games?
Wow, nice to know that the community that I've felt a part of for 6+ years labels me as not to be taken seriously. I was under the impression that people are allowed to have their own opinions, and most importantly preferences about what they find entertaining, but I guess that's not the case. Go on and make whatever arguments you want and slander me and take what I've said out of context and try and make me look bad, but I'm not the one who first blew it out of proportion. It's just sad that what drew me to this site is a host of intelligent people trying to make entertaining movies that pushed the boundaries, and after spending years trying to contribute to that effort I'm now being attacked for sharing an opinion about console preference.
Well, for me neither of RPGs is interesting at all, but that's just me. Also,you linked only one "Glitched" run. If all Glitched runs go to Demo, I see no problem in their main branches going to Vault.
A gamebreaking run CAN NOT go to vault because it is still awesome, a moon-worthy for me.
