The Messenger Developers React to 33 Minute Speedrun

[@SabotageQc]

Thanks for having us!

[@the-banana-man]

Loved the game! Thank you guys for making it!

[@arijan-itanmuratovic7495]

Yeah thanks for making this awsome game

[@bosshogg3322]

Love this game. Any chance y'all will be making any more in this series?

[@Grondious]

Thank you so much to everyone at Sabotage for crafting such a great experience and for handling speedrunner discoveries so considerately! I'm still addicted to this game but excited for Sea of Stars next :)

[@EvansThePunk]

@Sabotage Studio You're from Quebec right? You're english is so typical haha. Thanks for this amazing game!

[@sleepykappa.]

Imo the devs should be proud they could make a game that flows this nicely in a speedrun, sometimes speedies are so messy and clunky, but a lot of messenger's looks smooth and efficient, it literally looks intentional. Big love for y'all at sabotage 💖

[@emiloguechoons9030]

Speedies? 🤔

[@henzo1735]

And they are proud! They talk about this at 12:27

[@griffentkirkpatrick]

this is hands down the coolest speedrun ive ever watched. the devs not having any idea of some of these mechanics and it being so unreal smooth is so cool. it looks like it is all planned out but the fact that its not and its this crisp is unreal.

[@ootjesurcamp]

'Anything they find is theirs' thats a great stance on speedrunnig. Just because it isnt the intended way of playing the game doesn't mean people can't have fun playing it

[@mapron1]

And bethesda like "Lets' fix the bug only used by speedrunners" in Doom Eternal...

[@rory_o]

“I’m curious to see what they do with the second phase it’s entirely random oh it’s dead already never mind” L O L

[@gabrielmattosdinizlucas3715]

I'm curious to why the 2nd phase was not considered in the speedrun...

[@gilolaes4725]

Keeping out of the way of the glitches speedrunners find is great. Reimplementing glitches speedrunners found after you've accidentally fixed them is fire.

[@BadAstroJake]

For the folks at IGN, this has got to be my favorite series that you create. Keep them coming!

[@gaspump]

20:00 the screamingly awesome intro to Glacial Peak immediately blasted in my brain. Not my favorite track but definitely the best intro. Rainbowdragoneyes doing the whole thing in two styles is amazing. Can't wait for Sea of Stars!

[@hanzo90]

This is one of the best 2d platformers ever made

[@GazaAli]

Great game indeed, but it was hampered by lackluster combat.

[@azman.usmani]

@@GazaAli also the latter half felt repetitive, but a top game still

[@briguy459]

Pure platforming is either Celeste or MeatBoy though

[@Billybobbeefboy]

Agreed

[@Dinoman210]

Debatable

[@johnjogerst5919]

"Ninjas and demons and front flips and uh, swords" that about sums it up

[@lolmao500]

Me hearing 5 seconds from the developpers : yup, they are from quebec lol

[@alesbrewery]

Toujours bien de voir plus en plus de développeurs Québécois rentrer dans la scène indépendante.

[@duntemdraws310]

Glad to see a Quebec dev get recognition!

[@Xfinit]

Merci messieus les devs pour ce jeu incroyable. Le gameplay, la musique et aussi les dialogues originaux du jeu en québécois !

[@tibolegends]

Magnifique que vous puissiez donner votre point de vue de dév sur le speedrun, ca régale merci !

[@assasinnarga]

Really great insight into an amazing run of a fantastic game!

[@hericiumcoralloides5025]

Great game. Being able to play in the "Québécois" version was a welcome and hilarious surprise. Looking forward to future games.

[@ObscuriaDragunAed]

Dear indie devs, this is the example of the type of dev work you should adapt for single player games, part of the fun of playing your games is finding that one unintended mechanic that makes us feel fulfilled. Take notes.

[@piplup10203854]

That’s funny the mashers were even faster than the turbo that was implemented that it required making it even faster 🤣

[@upsyndrome]

Fantastic playthrough of an absolutley amazing game.

[@coencarlberg7047]

6:27 IRL dodge lol

[@LS-jj4sy]

"He never entered the shop" that's not true they went in once!

[@ForteGX]

Grondious's runs are incredible. Check out his stream.

[@HikariNVA]

16 hours? Aight lads, lasses and everything in between, set up camp. We gonna be here for a while -3-

[@neckromenticillusion4386]

L'accent québécois est magique saint siboire , force aux dévellopeurs qui commente cette vidéo calisse

[@TheMacTastic1]

This game looks really cool. Might pick it up to get that platformer fix. Great video!

[@SlefmadeAndFriends]

Messenger Love! Grond, you are a beast!

[@PH4NT0M016]

for the teleport with the enemy, you slash before and after you hook. The slash hitbox is still there some frames after

[@theevampire619]

This developers are A++ in my book super cool for even thinking about speedrunners!!

[@OLDBALLSProductions]

My favorite game to speedrun, so much fun getting insight from the devs!

[@brianseufert4917]

Great commentary. Great run. 👍🏻

[@aelinstue9431]

Amazing game, enjoyed getting all the achievements.

[@T4gProd]

You really should look into Titanfall 2. That speedrun is lit. You've already done one video (Control) with Bryonato who's the WR holder in Titanfall 2.

[@mrmojorisin2595]

Amazing game!! It's about time for a sequal....

[@Mikedagraaff]

One of my favorite games of all time!

[@DrGandW]

Hey Sclüt or however your name is spelled, love the game, completed it, but please if there’s a sequel, make glide a different button from jump

[@RoccoCusumano]

AMEN!!!!

[@Pimpgamer101]

So far, I’m impressed with the devs. That player had to play within the games parameters, must be a solidly developed game or he’s doing glitchless.

[@orlandotrustfullandhiscosm4110]

33 eh? Its that number that keeps cropping up again and again and again.

[@waiiitasecond]

Yes indeed

[@peacefulpanda3800]

very rad, also hope you release that unused song.

[@nand3kudasai]

this series needs more programmers explaining the glitchy exploits. its so cool.

[@martindion4846]

Sounds québécois en esti!

[@martindion4846]

Excellent jeu by the way!

[@EvansThePunk]

Tellement! Lolll

Game looks fabulous. You seem like great guys. Lets goooo. haha

This is the category for me

[@factandsuspicionpodcast2727]

It's been a while since I've played The Messenger, but isn't he using abilities you don't have access to initially?

[@VGHistory1]

This is a NG+ speedrun

[@Astrovite]

How does he start with items? Is it like a specially made file or something?

[@AmazingFrenchman]

Tabarnak!

[@drewbreezy5854]

Feels like a ninja that's for sure

[@henrriquetordoya1637]

Oh it was a snake

[@andrewpeters1463]

Sooooo basically this was made for speedrunning

he speaks way too slow, he can't even say anything. should've used his main language with subtitles. or just had his friend translate
