Уже давно Post #418495 я с интересом поглядывал на Комикс Зону. Но, тогда, неуловимый глюк с крысой появляющейся вне клетки, почти в самом начале игры стал непреодолимым препятствием для начала проекта... Так вот, не прошло и трех лет и нескольких сотен бесплодных попыток, как мне наконец удалось повторить этот глюк под запись!!! http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1131252642/Cage%20Glitch%20Comix%20Zone.gmv Теперь, надеюсь на помощь наших славных экспертов, feos и/или r57shell, способных разобраться как именно он работает.

Collecting items paths should be nightmare to optimise. Extremely difficult task for first TAS. But i see you that did this work well. Yes vote. P.S. Sad that you was not able save a few extra frames to get sub19 mins...

Well, it is true, this comparison not fully correct. But in any case this game can be completed faster with 2-players, so i see not reasons (beside laziness) to even choose 1-Player mode. I voted NO.

It is nearly 2 minutes slower than old Dark Fulgore's TAS.

Now we need 100% improvement and then Sniq can be canonized.

I found some old TAS by Dark Fulgore of this game on youtube: Link to video Technical quality of this tas is a bit lower than modern tasvideos standards, but perhaps it still can be useful for comparison purpose. Well, not too much teamwork tricks in this game, but for sure 2P interaction can save some frames here and there.

Nice game!

This game should be run in Easy mode 1p.

I am agreed about Easy mode choice, but 1P is not justified at all. In some cases Mickey and Donald can interact with each other. For example D can transform into barrel, so M can use this barrel as platform. Or use Genie's hand. Some other team work is also possible. I am absolutely sure that 2P-tactic would be faster in some places. For serious TAS attempt 2P is the only right choice. Since you just started, I recommend restart and switching to 2P. Of course you can continue recording 1P, but it would be lame and not so interesing as 2P.

Enjoyed watching all levels run. Really nice TAS or a really nice game. Voted obviously Yes. Looking forward any% improvement next!

For now I will mark it as a possible improvement since now I want to concentrate on my Sonic ring attack, maybe halfway through the year I will submit the Any% of this game along with the "all levels" updated.

Why not fix map mistake now? You can ask judge to put it on delay for as long time as you need to fix it. Or even cancel it and resubmit corrected version later. I feel it is not right to accept it with flaw (even if it is exellent run in all other matter).

No vote for entertainment, but I appreciate the efforts for optimizing.

Yeah sokoban games quite boring to watch, but optimising task is a whole universe. It not fully clear from submission text, but for several the most difficult levels it took a few months to find best solutions.

I used Sokoban autosolvers and swapped solutions to build up most of the solutions but Archanfel helped with supplying the ones I was missing.

If use Pareto principle to describe optimization efforts it would be something like this: About 78% of solutions are easy as cake, trivial to find. About 20% quite hard to find. And remaining 2% are hard as hell, nearly improssible to find. I am glad that now all best solutions will be publicly avialable for everyone. Meh vote.

Amount of glitches i found in all games i played is nearly countless. No sence even try recall them all. So i confined himself to one example: I remember i found a several cool and esoterical glitches for Warcraft III. Link to video Sadly it is still decades to wait when it will be possible to TAS this game.

Новый маршрут для 5-5. Наскреб целых 55 кадров улучшения! Странно, чего я раньше этот маршрут не проверил, ведь пробовал над этим генератором пролезать, но тогда от чего то счел что поверху в обход быстрее... Ладно, лучше поздно чем никогда.

У Пелевина весьма своеобразный стиль повествования, ирония переплетена с метафорой и приправлена философией. Так что не стоит воспринимать какую либо его фразу буквально, везде стоит искать двойное или даже тройное дно. Ладно не будем больше поминать Темнейшего. О радугах и пидарасах тоже хватит. Только гаргульи, только хардкор.

Я потестил немного новый маршрут для 5-5. Пока не обогнал (играл на 25%), но перспектива определенно есть. Думаю после оптимизации десяток-другой кадров можно будет срубить. Через пару дней подкачу мувик с улучшением!

Мда. Хорошо до нас такие тренды пока не добрались. Недавно читал iPhuck 10 Пелевина, вспомнилось цитата: "Подвиг № 12. Путин похищает радугу у пидарасов."

А вот ЭТО - реально неожиданно.

А что такого супер-неожиданного? В AGDQ чего только не бегают, был бы желающий и игра хорошая. А Гаргульи для спидрана более чем подходят. По поводу самого пробега 15 минут для RTA конечно впечатляет, но для таса ничего принципиально нового не увидел. Единственно заслуживает внимания в предпоследнем уровне Cypherin использует интересный трюк проползает над генераторами, что то не помню тестил я этот маневр или нет. Для надежности надо будет обязательно чекнуть этот альтернативный маршрут. --- Немного не по теме таса, но че то никак не пойму какого пола ведущий в очках в начале видео, на первый взгляд вроде как баба страшная, но голос какой то через чур мужской... такой женоподобный жирдяй что ли?

Одобряю такие темпы, пока вроде все отлично, продолжай жарить! Про 2-1 есть одна мысль. Помню в районе 7777 об огненный шар можно исхитриться получить одинарный урон, а не двойной. Может использовать эту лишнюю двадцатку здоровья в районе 8100-8200?

Not losing rings during having boots... I feel it is completely wrong, it's against Sonic nature. And also not lose all flickies after damage... I am disappointed in this Gameplay Update.

First levels have pretty primitive design, but later they become more and more complicated = interesting. Good TAS for good game. Yes vote!
