Hellpoint Developers React to 18 Minute Speedrun

[@WoofySKD]

its crazy cool that they managed to make a game this big with only 10 people

[@jjsalas2434]

11 people, and Mortal Shell, another fantastic game, 12 people.

[@MightyTachikoma]

Hellpoint was such a uniquely dark and interesting game. This'll be a fun watch.

[@coverfire2650]

Hii

[@jrsharkey2277]

Dark, yes Interesting, yes Unique, not even slightly

[@d3adb0i35]

Hopefully this helps get this game more attention. With the upcoming DLC it would be nice to see the devs get more support. Really interesting game that flew under the radar, had a ton of fun playing through this with a buddy, cant wait to play the expansion!

[@KEEPROLLINROLLINROLLINROLLINYO]

2:39 thx for the shout out yo

[@GtheMVP]

Haunting/epic soundtrack, especially that Observatory theme. This is my fav Souls-Like, outside proper Souls.

[@dunzek943]

This is my favourite game ever. So nice to see the developers commenting and other players playing! And a speedrun?! Also, Canadian pride 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

An underrated gem. 2020's Greatest title that few people played.

[@Magik1908]

Εχεις walkthrough στο καναλι σου;; Χρειαζεται νομιζω εστω κ τωρα!

[@Docthrax]

Je ne savais pas que l'équipe de dévotement de Hellpoint était Québécoise ! On l'entend bien sur la vidéo, c'est fort rigolo. On sent que c'est un premier jeu développer par seulement 7 personne mais malgré tout ses défauts, il reste un de mes "soul's-like" préféré ;)

[@Markooz-GamesNostalgia]

Awesome speedrun!

[@bluedemon4266]

Bought it two days ago. Have spent around 33 hours already and it's pretty massive to explore. Love the game. The combat is fine but could have been better. Beautiful game all in all. For me atleast, a 7.5 out of 10.

[@Link122]

33 hours in two days? Jesus. Have you no other obligations in life?

My favorite soulslike game outside of the souls series. Can't wait to play the dlc!

[@dunzek943]

My favourite souls game lol jk

[@nomperfect]

Anyone familiar with that series on the PSP Rengoku and the tower of purgatory? This deff has those vibes

[@GhostOfBuscemi]

Revolver head oooh yiss

[@deathstroke3140]

They made a better game with 10 people than all the triple A companies with their millions.

[@d_ruggs]

this games art style reminds me a lot of event horizon. and devs definitely shouldn't take speedruns personal or like they failed, anything like that. These runners put hundreds, if not thousands, of individual hours into the game, and collectively they work together to find these exploits, spending years of in game time to figure out small tricks. these people know and appreciate your games on a different level and just play games for a different reason. hiring runners for testing wouldn't be a bad idea, but definitely need regular players as well since both groups look for different things in games

[@shrekwazowski3836]

This is gonna be fun.

[@hundkebab2433]

sad this game didn't receive more attention

[@stargazer7850]

You can also play local splitscreen on hellpoint- so if you have company over you can help them or they can help you.

[@Leila555]

Does anyone know how the speedrunner doesn't take falling damage after falling from certain heights? I'm only three minutes in and there are a few heights he's fallen from that it feels like he should've taken damage from. Any speedrunners in the comments that could explain it?

[@JungleRobba]

Doing a plunging attack right before landing negates fall damage, but only up to a certain height. You can also do it a lot earlier, so it's not frame perfect as they were saying, but it's faster to do it right before landing since it also skips the animation in that case.

[@Leila555]

@@JungleRobba Thanks for explaining, and congratulations on the WR!

[@jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj0]

[@NerdLogic_]

Such a great game and awesome devs who sometimes troll you with Twitch integration😅

[@HexiiSky]

gonna have to pick the game up just to support these devs. looks fun aswell

[@Tozoz]

Loved this game !

[@MrSlaughterrific]

these devs sound like nice guys

[@hellcrane55]

so what exploit did he use to where the gun doesnt use energy?

[@ramsoofkyo9047]

7:49 seems suspicious, so maybe connected. He used Effigy to lower difficulty, but it didn't changed number under the "clock-map". Parhaps this is cancel (dodge) glitch at 15:35 dev is mentioning something like that and speedrunner does similar thing with monolith.

[@ryanw9051]

A developer reacting to his game being ran, brilliant idea. Bravo to whoever thought that up.

[@moz6388]

You should watch the Doom Eternal one. Lmao their reaction when the Speedrunner entered the secret developer room is crazy. Everyone starts blaming each other for not removing the room lol.

[@davidmiller9485]

@@moz6388 yes and they also want to work with the speed running community to help keep the game competitive for speed runners.

[@neurath2638]

Really nice game. A bit clunky but really entertaining. Liked it a lot

Crazy how easy it is to recognise the Quebec accent even in english

How about some jak and daxter react, it would be so cool to hear andy gavin toughts about outrageousjosh

[@gh0stdem0n666]

How is he not using energy? Or how did he become invincible?

[@Northzonesavar]

Keep going ❤️

[@SatansLilHelper666]

This game was AWESOME, me and my girlfriend loved playing co-op :3

[@Hitman2b]

well devs some people do finish game fast because of learning and skill some dev may spend 10 year to finish a game only for someone to finish it in a hours or 2

[@SnaKeMuHo]

DLC when?

[@lolmao500]

Quebec represents

[@AaronATE]

I’m so pumped for Hellpoint dlc it’s about time!

[@Sinvare]

So it seems the devs reacting are able to curse themselves in a way similar to "Caster's Curse" for MOBAs.

[@mawangshallhang]

Can you just stop doing damn premieres and just post it when it’s done…

[@stephoik4193]

didn't know this game had Sleepers in it

[@jaridianplays6396]

Why does the title of this video say they're watching an 18 minute speedrun? He's on the second to last split and the run is at 23 minutes with more to come🤔

[@JungleRobba]

Because we're using ingame time and the save file at the end says 18:57

[@thejackniles9006]

Speedrunners often only count active game time, so if they are quitting out and loading back in, loading between levels, or watching some types of cutscenes they don't count it.

[@kenny240]

Also, by using in-game timers, it gives the competition a level playing field. You’re not dependent on hitting a timer button at a specific time, or any other external factors (such as PC load time etc.) to determine how fast you ran the game. So, generally the in-game timer will give the speed runner the most consistent measurement for how fast they performed the actions they needed to in order to finish.

[@MatthijsvanDuin]

Normally the livesplit timer on screen would also pause at the same time whenever the in-game timer pauses, but it appears a livesplit plugin to do so has only been released recently so presumably this run predates it.

[@saltidog86]

Totally get Rengoku 1 and 2 vibes.

[@JungleRobba]

🐸

[@SnaKeMuHo]

Get ready for some "not a real speedrun" comments lmao

[@andreww9104]

anyone know that exploit that kept their energy from draining?

[@Spoteddy]

Being invulnerable and infinite ammo kinda makes the speedrun boring to me :S Bosses generally are the most interesting part in this kind of games.

[@korinogaro]

So many games get broken when character can keep invincibility from interacting with something/cutscene that you might think that putting a function setting correct parameter to the character after every such interaction would be a standard practice. Like 30sec after interaction set "invincibility=0".

[@kitelooper311]

When are they releasing the PS5 version of this game?

[@ImCroozy]

So that just wasn't 18 minutes though was it

[@JungleRobba]

18 minutes on the save file, without loading screens

[@Knuddelbar90]

16:21 disturbed?

[@DeyanWell]

Does the exploit still work?

[@JungleRobba]

All instances of the invincibility glitch that we knew of were fixed with the dlc patch, if you find any new ones please let us know 🐸

[@MRSketch09]

Its more fun to watch someone, someone play this, than actually play it..

Mind suggesting some that would make for a good Devs React? Dont forget that most AAA games are incredibly long. Even the speedruns can be hours long.

[@isrealdiaz3899]

Or just don't watch the video.. why get on here to complain like all the content they post is supposed to be curated to you? Maybe you should try hell point instead of being mad you knew nothing about it or never bothered.
