I don't have video footage of me speedrunning the game, so may I send a screenshot instead?

submitted! don't have a video for one of my submissions but it will come before too long =)
Why not just submit when you have the video
been grinding the heck out of other categories and wanted to get SDA-submittable runs on them before this one. wasn't sure how long that would take but you're probably right. no takebacks i guess, dang =(

It's cool that people are submitting, but please don't post that you've submitted, I can see them in the form and they will be viewable once we get that functionality ready. This topic is for questions about submitting.
If people are wondering why submissions aren't immediately viewable, it's to weed out blatant troll submissions in case if they happen.

Question regarding that: I know in the past it's been encouraged to post your fastest run, but given this is a marathon and you'll be commenting/etc, wouldn't a no-reset (Or, ideally, a run you've done for another marathon, even if it's online) run be a more accurate representation of what a *GDQ run would be like?

My current situation of attending this 'GDQ is a maybe at the moment.
3 of the runs have good videos ready to be part of the submission.
I still need to record another 3 runs as one of the games has 2 potential categories, they may not be as tight as the 3 already done but I'll practice a lot on the games that do get accepted. Fortunately these "3 need to be recorded" runs I've used to do for fun and have been done in a speed run scenario, so they are not brand new to me if that makes any sense.

The suggestion seems to be that if you are active with your game and expect any improvement over the next couple weeks, that it is only to your detriment to not wait until last minute. Is that fair to assume?
What if someone forgets a game they want to submit? that wouldn't change whether they submit right away or at the very end.

You've had like a month to prepare your submissions. If they meant that much to you, you should've written them down or something. Or you know, write a draft of your submissions beforehand. It's not like this was a surprise.
mwsf!
Oh yea I agree, I'm not too upset about it because they don't mean that much too me (which is why I forgot). That doesn't mean it isn't a good submission though, and it'd be nice to be able to add in more submissions as a "just in case" ya know?
Edit: I guess this applies more for short games now that I think about it. You finish submitting, then remember that you know how to run another game that's really short but you haven't run in a while. Just because it's not your main focus doesn't mean it's a bad idea for a submission.

Note: I'm nuking posts that say "I submitted" or something similar from now on because they don't contribute anything to the topic.
Emptyeye: Yes it would be, but fastest run is a good representation of good gameplay.
heehee: it's not like you had to submit right away, the due date isn't until September, and like pj said, you had a month to prepare. We're not letting people edit their submissions too heavily (the most I would consider is updating a video) because submission editing would be ripe for abuse, that's why it's mostly a one and one system. Also, if your submission wasn't a bad idea I'd get the impression you'd do a better job remembering what it was.
nmaster64: Yeah, but unless if something drastically changes in the route within those two weeks then I don't think updating the video is incredibly important, since the general gist of the gameplay and skill level will be there.
