I said I was gonna do it, here I am, doing it, except a couple things have changed.
1. Due to the hack (Six Pack) not being made in Lunar Magic and thus neither of the Super Mario World lua scripts (Base or SA-1 enabled) being able to be recognised, I'm going to be doing the *whole* thing **by myself.**
2. Based off of the estimates I've gone off of from doing just the first 10 exits (which have now proven to be slightly off) I have come to the likely inaccurate conclusion that the final time will be a whopping 10+ hours on this one singular hack. TEN HOURS! That's basically triple what I initially thought it would be about 5 months ago!
So yeah. Oh and also you see that epilepsy warning in the beginning? Yeah don't worry about it as nothing in VLDC1 has to do with it. But keep it in mind when the next 5-6 parts of the TAS come out. I know for a fact VLDC3 has probably 3 extremely tedious, long and annoying levels with absolutely hideous backgrounds being flashing lights. I don't typically place epilepsy warnings with timestamps in my videos as the effects aren't that strong, but this time I have to take them significantly more serious.
Obviously I won't *only* be doing this TAS for the next couple of months, I'll do a new VLDC, then after finishing that one, I'll encode it alone and then potentially work on another hack, so if it seems I've abandoned this TAS, I likely didn't as I chose to do this in the first place, alone (which was my original plan as I don't quite have any TASing buddies) or not.
Who will even watch the whole 10+ hour thing when it all comes out together besides me? lol
