Miscellaneous
- Thanks to adelikat for his previous published TAS, so I could compare my improvements easily.
- Thanks to igorsson for his video, which actually demonstrates what adelikat has done on the last level (going to weapon menu while moving forward and leaving it advances the player’s on screen X position).
Noxxa: Judging.
Noxxa: Had I judged this without considering the audience feedback, I would have accepted this run to Vault - movement just seems too slow at times, and it came across to me as dull unless I sped up the movie about threefold or so. The entertainment rating for the published movie also is mediocre at best. Despite that, this submission got 7 yes votes (out of 7) for entertainment. So based on that, accepting to Moons as an improvement to the published movie.
I suspect this is another case where votes will not match up to ratings when the movie is published, so its tier may very well be changed in the future, if entertainment ratings turn out low.
