Salt and Sanctuary Developer Reacts to 20 Minute Speedrun

[@ultimateplaystationdplanet9654]

Thank you for reacting to my speedrun, loved the video :D Was really fun seeing the dev react to his game getting broken and beaten in 20 min

[@DudeMcPerson]

Nice run! Question for ya, why does your character keep changing appearance after bosses?

[@itbepooh]

@@DudeMcPerson 😬

[@DudeMcPerson]

@@itbepooh thanks, very helpful

[@ultimateplaystationdplanet9654]

It's a mod which randomizes your character after every split, doesn't effect the run but still funny to use

[@DudeMcPerson]

@@ultimateplaystationdplanet9654 ahh okay, thanks for clearing that up for me

[@garbage_person]

I'd actually enjoy it if the developer could pause these speedruns to fully express their thoughts. So many times in these vids, the devs see bugs that they'd either like to explain or speculate on but don't have the time. It would be fascinating to hear what they have to say and I'm more than willing to watch the vid even if it doubled in length.

[@heatherdeep8367]

IGN doesn't care, they just need to push content.

[@atthelord]

Agreed, make it a 3 part content piece- 15 min or vid.

[@conaldeugenepeterson2147]

It would turn these into hour long podcasts. Especially the ones with 3-4 people chiming in every few seconds.

[@garbage_person]

@@conaldeugenepeterson2147 I'd be fine with that. They could just publish two versions like Ars Technica does with their extended interviews from War Stories.

[@ziolan8970]

Go to the KZbin channel tomatoanus, he writes a script and explains the runs in detail with scripts that the top runners at the time helped to write. It’s really informative and cool

[@Shark3143]

I've been the admin for the speedrun community leaderboard of this game for years. It's a blast to see the developer have a great time watching a run! This run allows for going out of bounds to skip right to bosses, but we also do runs with no out of bounds skips, as well as runs with no major glitches, for both any% and all bosses.

[@kuunibyou7642]

This guy: *using gravity as he wants to skip through the other side of the world* Meanwhile me: *keep falling at the same spot at Watching Woods and die to gravity*

[@TrairFrair]

Nailed it

[@publiusii4246]

He's got the right stance on glitches first question is can you do it on accident. If not it doesn't affect anyone that doesn't want to be affected, so leave it alone. If it does than yes it needs patched to prevent ruining the experience for average users.

[@macfire19]

Too bad the dev recently released an update to patch out all the glitches shown here (except the hat trick). Of course, speedrunners will just choose to not get that update patch, so not too bad. Shame that he actually mentions even here that the glitches will likely not get fixed as they don't take away from casual play...but here we are.

[@ScootaGray]

At least patch the fire so it takes the stamina away when the button is pressed and the spell is cast. Not when the animation is starts.Issue solved.

[@J_PIK]

This and Bloodborne need a worthy sequel. They would sell millions at launch. $$$$$$$$$$$$$

[@Bobstew68]

It's so confusing that this isn't a TAS. Didn't the dev say these glitchy jumps required making two inputs in the same frame? Does the speedrunner have a button configured to do two inputs at once?

[@JI0MB]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure doing it this consistently either requires playing on keyboard or using macros.

You can tell in his voice that he in fact......did not love this. He saw lots of work being exploited to all hell for not even an interesting run. Just spamming fire and traveling from one boss to another. He definitely felt obligated to not have a bad reaction to this, otherwise there might be some backlash. Weird situation.

Honestly, it's controversial, but after seeing this I'd patch out wildfire.
