I'm kinda inclined to agree with him. Good game and all, but like IWBTG it seems rather plodding as a TAS.

How mature is Windows TASing? Is it acceptable for the site yet? Is it good enough for making decent movies that aren't acceptable for the site for whatever reason?

That's slightly off-topic here, but: I'd say it's not mature at all, but for certain games such as this one it already works almost as well as a mature re-recording emulator, and it's good enough for making decent movies (you can find various examples already with a search like this), and the current site administration seems (as far as I can tell) willing to give it a shot.

Just ran a small test. I'm not the first one to do this of course, but I like the way Hourglass works. It's simple and has all the functionality you could ask for, for a game like this. Link to video

Well, I played this for the first time the other day, and you could say that I changed my opinion about the matter. Yet there is still the matter of "Who will TAS it?". I'll be paitiently waiting for the TAS till then.

It seems that once every 6 or so frames there's a lag frame. Kind of annoying. Text skipping is also super annoying.

Dada, it's a 50 fps game. The logic runs at 50 fps, despite whatever refresh rate your monitor uses. At 60 Hz, you'll see a repeated frame every few frames. Set the fps in Hourglass to 50.
