Hello speedrunners,

I´ve been fiddling around with game creation for a while now. Since I enjoy watching speedruns I thought about making a game for speedrunners, a platformer to be specific. Now the question is, what do Speedrunners want in a platformer to make it awesome for speedrunning?

Precise execution?
Lots of movement options?
Inherently fast paced gameplay?
Ingame timer?
Harder routes that save time?
A ton of RNG and Autoscrollers only?

(I wasn´t sure if this is the right category to post this, I hope it´s ok)

Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Hey Illfy and welcome,

I got reminded of this thread that deals a little bit with your question, maybe you find something useful there.

This outlines most of the basics.

Don't make a game for speedrunners. Make a good game. Speedrunners will find you.
