Initially, we had around 8000 rooms and the game still handled it fine! But we had to reduce it to around 2000 with slower repeat interval, since otherwise the animation's "rooms per second" would fluctuate too much and the animation didn't sync up with the audio. We also have project ideas related to generating large open worlds, so let's see how much it can handle there :D

Wow, congrats on managing this as well! I think for me, abusing save-load to get precise timing on when the pizza flies up, it helps in having a lot of control over getting things to work out. I don't remember how long it took me, but discovery + attempts must've also been multiple hours on different days. I've seen some other techniques to make it work, but I can't judge how long those would've taken to execute. I made a video covering the remaining challenges of the run, if you do get stuck further down the road! kzbin.info/www/bejne/npa6gH6YZpyChcU

@RedMser Got thru the rest without issues, thank you. Yeah without the save load trick the rng is brutal

I assume this is the point where most people gave up the dual-item challenge. But that's what I saw as a new challenge, trying to do something that seemed impossible at the time. Since making this video, I saw some other insane strats done by different people, relying on physics far more than I did. Really cool stuff!

Not sure if the mod still works, you'd have to use the "testing" branch on GitLab and see if it runs. There's a few really good mods that released on the workshop which are probably a much better choice nowadays, since they're better supported and updated ^^

​@@RedMser Ok I just tested, there's like 2000 errors (not exaggerating), I tested with master and Big-update-fix since that's the most recent one, I still have to test with "testing" but idk if it will work. About the other mods, man, just by the looks of the trailer you did 10 times the guys from DGR did. I started learning how to mod the game recently if I manage to completely understand the stuff I hope I can contribute to the project!

Wait can you not hear the ambience without the cube??? I mean that makes absolutely perfect sense but wow holy shit

Yep, there's some guides showing how to do it for most of the game and it takes forever... I even uploaded multiple videos showcasing how to get both items up the jump pads sequence in the area just before where this video starts, since I've not found any resource online that shows how to do this before. So lots of experimentation and trial&error needed to even get to this point :o

Doing the "out of bounds" level ending during EX mode where you punch the weird thing in the black void here actually supports this

what happened?

​@@qwaffles_ I guess it's fine to spoil now, since anyone who would've tried it themselves would've done it already and everyone else is just waiting for the official release. So, there were 2 nondescriptively named sound files when opening up the game files: msc_looptest and msc_test2. Playing them would yield this goofy little jingle : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIqpk5Z4iN6ao8k The tool I used to look through the files had a very simple sound player, which is what I was using to look through each file one by one because all of the filenames didn't match their OST titles - it was all stuff like DIS' theme being just "endless.wav". most importantly, it didn't show current time in the track or track length at all. So, I would be looking through the files, passing by looptest and test2 and clicking away after a few seconds assuming they were either testfiles or a joke from the developers to people looking through the files like me. And then I would hit the end of the list, and be confused all over again because there's no way the EX theme just isn't here - these are *all* the music files, and there's no way would name it under the sounds just to fool the few dataminers like me... And then, by chance, EX started playing after I left the datamine tool to sit for a bit. I was so confused! , and I was looking through volume mixer to confirm the audio source and that I didn't just accidentally play the youtube video again. It wasn't until I decided to just export all of the music files that I noticed a discrepancy : msc_looptest and msc_test2 were 9 minute long tracks. I opened them in VLC, clicked at a spot somewhere 6 minutes in the file, and yup. They created this goofy 30 second long hardstyle jingle, set it at the start of a 9 minute long audio file, left 4 minutes of silence, then put in the real tracks at 5 minutes in. If dogbonk kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3XSo5ydapylbs0 releases with DELTARUNE chapters 3 & 4, be sure to check that it really is just a 30 second long wav file and that it isn't hiding Toby's next magnum opus... (also, I haven't found the track for layers 2 or 4 yet, so... system erasure may still have won one over on me.)

@@qwaffles_There used to be four songs in the game files since release, named msc_sendoff, msc_test2, msc_looptest and msc_ending2 All of them were just a silly short 8-bit loop. But with the 1.1 update, after that short 8-bit song ends in the music files, each of those files contains a few minutes of silence followed by the new songs of this update. So they were likely hidden with data miners in mind.

Zeroranger actually has something like that in the files too, makes me wonder if those are also the same method of hiding songs for the upcoming black onion game mode How sneaky...

@@RedMser oh, I wrote a whole detailed reply that i only today noticed never sent, probably because I included links to the silly little placeholder jingles. that's a shame, but i am very thankful for you pointing out the last 2 tracks I was missing - before, I only knew looptest and test2 since internally i found that the EX rooms were also labeled with "test2". which, also added to the massive dunk the devs got on me, with how i kept overlooking msc_test2 until i finally exported all the music tracks and noticed discrepancies with the lengths of the audio files. i guess i'll reiterate my end note, then : if deltarune chapter 3 & 4 release and dogbonk.ogg appears in the game files, you may want to wait and see if it's secretly hiding toby fox's newest magnum opus

Time to sleep like Gor...

Wait, cancel? Something happens if you just leave it on screen?

@@DenpaCake yup - die too often, don't do anything to continue, and Gray will have a final death that persists through to the "English | Suomi" screen.

@@DenpaCake I refused to find out, but I'd imagine it's as MrSmegheneghan said and that it's basically a way to prevent you from getting soft-locked if you find yourself in an area that's too difficult while Voided.

@@aiasfree I've found it doesn't trigger if you're the third stranger - did the devs figure you didn't need the out anymore if you were at that point?

@@Wackylemon64 Some of the levels in extra are really difficult, so having a way to leave the mode while you're in the middle of the levels and can't reach a Cif statue makes sense, I think.

Copied from another comment: I edited the game's code to show this screen on startup, then just recorded it for a while.

Second section is my favorite as well! I edited the game's code to show this screen on startup, then just recorded it for a while.

@@RedMser ahh, fair enough. I figured maybe you could get that with one of the endings, given the [REDACTED] scene, but that makes sense 😅

It takes a peak game to peak the audio like that 😩😩😩🙏🙏🙏
