I'm not sure (as you can probably tell by the title) whether I should go ahead with a TAS of Lego Star Wars for GBA that I'm doing. It's going smoothly so far, but I don't think the game has much to hold in terms of entertainment. There aren't even any real opportunities to make the much-needed speed/entertainment trade-off. Work-in-progress run here: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=362134#362134 Most, if not all of the levels involve the same sluggish hack-and-slashing, one-dimensional platforming and point-A-to-point-B-trekking with the occasional boss fight (most enemy encounters can be avoided entirely, although this could further take away from the entertainment side of things). The worst part is that this goes on for a full three episodes, although the run does not aim for 100% completion. Should I go ahead with the TAS? Or should I try another game? Thanks in advance.

Go with what you feel, really. If you want to TAS this game, TAS it. If you want to drop it, drop it. The Vault tier allows any TAS that completes a game as fast as possible either as "any%" (just as fast as possible) or "100%" (as fast as possible while getting everything) as long as there is some kind of competition to it (i.e. no auto-scrolling games or rhythm-games). A TAS doesn't have to be entertaining to be published anymore. And even if it would get rejected... it shouldn't matter if you TASed it for you before others. If you aren't working on something that interests you, chances are you will not finish it or do it very well.

Would like to see you finish this, as it was my very first Tt Lego game.
I like Doraemon
