I strongly suggest to anyone who wants do make a comment in this thread to watch Walker's movie first (if you haven't done so) so you know what kind of tricks that Walker uses in his movie, so you don't mention a trick that Walker has already used. Another reason for watching this movie is because it's really good :)
If you want to see what i've done so far, here's the
WIP1
Rom name: Shadowgate (U).nes
Emulator used: FCEU Ultra 0.98.12-blip
Currently, this movie is about 3,4s faster than the current movie. (Walker's movie: ~1m 55,0s, this movie: ~1m 51,6s ). My goal is to improve the current movie with at least 15s, maybe even 20s. We'll see how this goes.
Do you think that the question that the spinx asks in Walker's movie is the best? Maybe there's a question the sphinx can ask that makes the movie even faster.
And I believe that the 3 torches that Walker picks up are the best to choose, since they're not too much in the way to pick up.
I also intend to leave bags and drawers open in the same places as in Walker's movie, but if anyone finds out that it's faster to leave them open in somewhere, please let me know.
About playing the Swedish translation... personally, i agree with you Highness that it would be really fun to make a TAS of the swedish translation (especially since I'm from Sweden myself), however, I'm not sure that such a movie would be published on the site . And I think that more people would be interested in the english version than in the Swedish.
But who knows? If I'm in the mood for it, maybe I'll make a TAS of the Swedish version when the english version movie is completed.
And I agree that it's really funny that the commands are "GÄ" and "SLÄ" :)
You'd think they would notice such thing when they're translating, bu nooo.
Oh, and by the way - thanks for the comments Highness, it's always fun when other users show interest in your movies.[/url]
