I work here, dogg. I'm always reading.
I don't have any of my old WIPs, if that's what you're asking, but the movie and submission files are very much available in the publications. I wouldn't mind getting back to doing this myself someday, but I'd greatly appreciate someone taking it on before me. It's been a long while, a lot of new things were discovered, and my any% improvement is definitely improvable even without the new finds. I'd love to help out as a co-author, I just can't see myself working completely solo on a TAS for a long while, especially for a game as complicated as Gimmick.
sounds exciting! i’ll probably collaborate when i get fceux to work properly.

hello. ive done a bit of research about the nes game "gimmick!" created by sunsoft. i want there to be some new improvements implemented:
any%
- improvements to the any% parts shown in the 100% tas from 2010
100%
- Samsara's any% tas improvements from 2016 (except the level 6 clip, which wouldnt work because theres a secret area)
both
- a new death warp in level 3 discovered by Ryan_Ford522 (would save about 8 seconds if tased)
- TASeditor's level 1 & 2 wip (made for 100%, maybe any% as well if there are any improved parts that would fit there)
i would implement all of this myself, but the problem is for some reason, fceux wont register any inputs in tas editor. so its up to one of you guys. if you could have the time to implement these improvements, that would be greatly appreciated. i look forward to seeing the new versions. cheers!

the current speedrun strategy uses a death warp to get to the underground part of level 3 about 4 seconds faster. if this was tased, it would save about 8 seconds. we can also implement samsara's improvements:
- micro staircase clip & major skip glitch in level 5
- slightly faster 2nd mini boss in level 6
i'll try installing fceux, hopefully my shitty laptops just powerful enough to run it. if i cant run fceux, would anyone mind implementing these tricks? thx.
