This completes Wolfenstein 3D Episode 1 Level 1 in 16 in-game seconds. The current SDA record is 20 seconds so this represents a respectable improvement. This run takes damage to save time and focuses on strafing and running at the same time for maximum speed. There are still some interesting oddities here - for instance, it's possible to shoot through doors - specifically, look for a muzzle flash happening before the door opens and a guard death animation already playing out as the door opens in at least a couple of places in the run. Also note that delaying pushing against a door that is opening can significantly impact where a guard will attempt to walk to; this can be seen in the largest gray room as delaying walking against the door causes a guard who opens the door at the far end to walk into the room for easier disposal.
I'm very happy with this first level. If someone could make a WIP encode I'd greatly appreciate it (so far all of my efforts have had audio sync issues and have not played back at full speed). Thanks!
