How To Program Enemies that Ruin Speedruns.wmv

[RebornOdin]

I don't understand what you needed to do, so I don't know why the enemy going up the ladder hindered your speedrun.

I always thought this game looked awful, but after seeing some gameplay of it, I feel like I should give it a chance. Is it free to play or something?

[Sc0tt8588]

@shdwdrgnix Yes, it's freeware. Does need a translation patch if you want to read it in English.

1:00 Tell the truth, did you pause to swear?

[MegaUltraJMan]

@Lyreto Basically, the instant he went up the ladder I lost the run essentially.

[Patashu]

Have you considered removing the time it takes in this room from the overall time, just because it's stupid and not indicative of skill at all?

[MegaUltraJMan]

@Patashu That won't work by SDA timing standards, it's a part of the game and thus is timed with the rest. It'll work eventually...

Asshole Lizards are a unique species that are known only to live in the ruins known in La Mulana. They like to climb up and down the same ladder and annoy the HELL out of anyone who ventures through this place.

Stupid lizard...

PHAWK that lizard man!

[zekefew]

i feel that someone needs to take a troll face and put it on that enemy

[wrarwimadragon]

I don't get it.

[nsssj]

@wrarwimadragon You need to lure the lizardman to the ray of light in the middle of the screen. Since it wanders randomly, whether it gets there in a reasonable amount of time is a matter of luck.

Thanks for the tip I'll be sure to put something like this in my game ;)

[Efreeti]

At least you had the great music.

[Kaizoman666]

Gotta hate that luck manipulation, huh!

[bioniclefighter09]

i dont get it ?

[iamnotfromearth]

@bioniclefighter09 If I remember things correctly you have to get that one enemy into that little light beam, enemy has a random path and may not walk into the light. ergo it can absolutely ruin speedruns.

[RSCNyx]

@bioniclefighter09 Basically, that lizard has to enter that area where the light is shining through the wall. However, the lizard has a random pathing AI: It will wander around RANDOMLY, and you have no control over it.

It's the biggest thing in La Mulana that defies a speedrun, IMO.

[ssskinner]

fuck you lizard
