Well, even if it's a Steam game, sometimes you can just run it in offline mode or move it somewhere else and it runs fine. I would test but I do not own this game currently and don't feel like bugging my friends who have never used Hourglass before to muck around in it.

There's a DRM-free version that can be bought on the developers site.
I problably made mistakes, sorry for my bad English, I'm French :v

Or if we're lucky there will be a steam-less version in a Humble Bundle sometime. I saw some runs and kept wondering what a TAS would do in this game.
Actually, even the steam version is drm free, in a way. It actually loads in hourglass even if you don't have steam installed (I copied the directory from my steam folder it to a virtual machine), though due to xinput you can't bypass the steam save message, and it seemed to instantly desync even without input being given, so...

I'm aware of broken Xinput but don't know how to fix it. Trying to fix timing every now and then when someone's around to help me test theories. If anyone wants to help, drop by the Hourglass IRC channel. (#hourglass on freenode)

After playing it myself, Shovel Knight. Oh yes, let's get a very recent game TASed!! In answer to the earlier point, Yacht Club Games are offering a DRM-free version for download from their site + free Steam key, but I assume the non Steam version is the one we want for Hourglass purposes. http://yachtclubgames.com/shovel-knight/

Nyet 3 could be interesting. It's a Tetris-with-challenges game, except the challenges include things like "snakes depositing blocks on the playfield" and "barriers that open and close across the middle of the field", and you can buy items to make some of the challenges easier -- except that items are expensive so you can't clear every or even most of the challenges by cheesing them with items. Or maybe it'd just be a dull puzzle-game TAS. Who knows.

It's a DOS game, so here is a more appropriate wishlist for it. I watched the video, and this looks like it'd make a really interesting TAS! Of course, it would be a labour of love to make.

What about Bound Around by Blueskied? or even it's free predecessor Frozen Fruits.

I would like to see Minesweeper get TASed. Yeah, you would run Windows 3.x on a DOS emulator like JPC-RR.

You could do that, but the resulting movie would be labeled "DOS Minesweeper" in the submission and publication, which wouldn't be right. It's best to wait until either Hourglass supports Windows 3.x games or JPC-rr is accepted for Windows 3.x submissions (then it could be "Windows Minesweeper"). Unless you just want to TAS it for fun, of course.

Still hoping for a Mari0 TAS one day. Latest stable release would be 1.6 (the one provided on the stabyourself.net page)

I just found this speedrun of Eternal Daughter; it's a lengthy Metroidvania game that normally takes hours, and with a handful of fast movement, machine gun fire, and wall clipping glitches, it is completed in about 20 minutes instead. Perhaps this can serve as inspiration for a TAS :)

Some Windows games have the funny quirk that they depend on mouse, even if they never use it. No idea if the game is one of those. If it's not, it could be failing for another 100 to 10000 or so reasons, knowing why the game fails just by someone saying "for now i cant run it..." is impossible at best. The best "guide" for Hourglass right now is: 1. Install XP on a computer / in a VM. 2. Cross your fingers it's gonna work after trying all setting combinations in Hourglass that you can think of.

'Certains jeux Windows ont le problème qu'ils dépendent de la souris, même si ils ne l'utilisent jamais. Aucune idée si ce jeu a ce problème. Si ce n'est pas ca, le jeu ne marcherait pas pour une centaine de raisons, essayer de comprendre pourquoi le jeu ne marche pas en voyant quelqu'un dire "je ne peux pas le lancer pour l'instant.." est, au mieux, impossible. Le meilleur "guide" pour Hourglass maintenant est: 1. Installer Windows XP sur un ordinateur / sur une Virtual Machine. 2. Prie pour que ça marche en essayant toutes les combinaisons de paramètres dans Hourglass auquelles tu peux penser.' Traducted Warepire's post Tu peux répondre en francais et je traduireai :)

Hey, if you need some help regarding English, there is quite enough French-speaking native people around here, feel free to ask ;) (translating Warepire's post) If you would like to continue discussing this game, you should rather create another topic, as this one is only for people to say "Oh a TAS of this game would be nice" in case a TASer has no clue what to do. ---- Hep, si t'as besoin d'aide pour comprendre ou parler l'angliche, on est plusieurs à capiche la langue du bœuf bouilli dans de la sauce à la menthe, hésite pas à demander ;) Pour l'instant Hourglass fonctionne mieux quand tu le lances sur Windows XP. Soit tu as un ordi sur lequel tu peux installer Windows XP, soit tu installes Windows XP sur une machine virtuelle (VirtualBox par exemple). À partir de là, installe ton jeu et Hourglass, et réessaie. Certains jeux merdent avec Hourglass avec une erreur à propos de la souris, alors même que le jeu ne l'utilise jamais. Si tu souhaites continuer sur ce jeu, tu ferais mieux de démarrer un topic, celui-ci sert uniquement à dire "ce serait cool d'avoir un TAS sur tel jeu" au cas où des gens ont envie de TASer mais ne savent pas quoi faire.

Appreciate the translations xy2_ and Zarmakuizz. OT: Zarmakuizz: Why do you no longer reply on IRC in #hourglass?
