Hi guys, Congratulations arandomgameTASer for your new TAS, it is amazing ! I just want to share some improvements for your TAS. Recently, a french runner found a new glitch in the Sultan's Dungeon to clip a wall. You could save 5s, I guess, and maybe you could do it in others parts of the run. The link => https://www.twitch.tv/chonkaltv/v/100386920 An other minor improvement is about a statue in Cave of Wonders. In fact, you don't need to destroy it to reach the boss. It's not a very good improvement, but you can save some frames. [URL=http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=827591Sanstitre2.png][/URL]

Whooah, Thanks Lordash ! It's so amazing ! These informations are precious for TAS but also for speedrun haha :D However, it seems to me that when Ryle have 99HP (or 100, i forget) you kill all ennemies with one shot, even Gola.

thanks for your answers, i'll be waiting for you next project :) ( if i had more time, i'd try alundra but just thinking of a possible routing give me a headache )
Hi Nicos, About a TAS of Alundra, there is a multi-segment and a TAS on Nicovideo. I made also a speedrun of this game on the japanese version, so if you want to try a TAS on this game, don't hesitate to ask me some informations ;)

Nice to hear that you managed to resync it! I'm looking forward to seeing it on the workbench. Two questions out of curiosity: - I understand that monster AI is different when redoing, but does the game also have subpixels which carry over between screens? Otherwise I don't understand why the screens without monsters wouldn't sync. - Have you figured out how is damage is calculated? Is there any random element to it? Are you monitoring monster HP? (Also BTW: it's どうも.)
Hi Truncated, About your second question, i have the answer : the damage of Ryle is calculated compared to your number of livestocks. However, it's not linear, instead exponential. I began to make a table of the HP monster for the speedrun but I gave up quickly, it's so boring haha :D

We are re-synched and good to go! The minor readjustment in the teleport room only cost a couple of seconds, as I'm behind by just 212 frames otherwise (including a few improvements made in the process). All that's left is a little money grinding (12 mimics/88 gold a cycle will go by very quickly) to buy the unique items back at Mercator, then it's time to finish the final Palace! My target submission date will be next sat. on the 25th. Thanks everyone for the positive feedback and encouragement, throughout :) This project was quite a ride, and I hope the final product doesn't disappoint!
I can't wait to see the end result of your TAS ;) Just want to say you : "Thank you and good job !" it's a big present that you made for the Landstalker's community and I hope that it's inspire others people to try to speedrun or make another TAS of this game.

You buy a Japanese Genesis and the jap version of Landstalker, or you download an emulator and the japanese's ROM ;)

Hi guys, I watch this topic for some time and I decided to join you now :D. I didn't see the WIP and I wait the end result to see that. However, one little question : What is the time you think to do for the 100%?
