So not only do the Devs think about gameplay, replayability, sound, story, lore but they also think about speedrunners........ Utter dedication that shows 👍 10/10 played and completed it myself.

Finji's titles are often made this way, even Chicory: A Colorful Tale's devs went into specifics on Twitter about how many frames will it take for your character to do certain actions, or options to skip through hundreds of dialogues in just seconds, despite the game being just a story-focused instead of competitive one.

I'd say the best way to carry for speed runners is to create a great engine. Some mechanics cannot be put into the game, they must be phenomenologic.

Andrew Shouldice is really just an amazing and underrated developer. He made the game fun to play as it-is, and also fun for speedrunners, and also fun for those playing casual but re-playing and utilizing ways to get past beginnings (like finding that sword there). This game is sooo much more than just what you see.

The quit to title may not seem like a lot of sense as it didn’t give him (much) health back. However it reset the bar. When the bar is at its lowest the game thinks that he has full health even though he’d die from basically anything. Meaning the RTSR wouldn’t work properly.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who called it "Red Tearstone Ring" the whole time. It's such a solid concept for an ability so I'm glad to see it permeate into more games.

We need more game devs like this, that understand and appreciate the multitude of different ways people want to play games. Great job guys, and great job to the speedrunner

This one is fun because the game is so new and not even properly broken yet for speedruns. It'd be nice to see their reactions in a year.

In this react video, Devs are actually the speedrunners. They gave better shotcut than the player was using

9:15 Looks like the quit to title restores your max HP if it's been drained by Miasma. Probably to enable RTSR.

Excellent game. Just got the platinum today in PS and loved it. You can feel the love for franchises like Zelda even Dark Souls.

This has to be some of igns best content. Videos like this are really cool.

Beautiful game, wonderful story! Love it! Well done, Devs!

TUNIC is one of my favourite games of all time.

Lovely commentary

It is so funny to me when the runner is on the elevator and Andrew says, "This is where we read donations". Such a hilariously funny reference to something that makes sense in the speedrun community and kind of nowhere else.

Beautiful beautiful game! The devs definately designed it to be sped run but also to be replayable as hell!

22:33 please someone make a "ring west bell" speed run category! =D

Thanks developers for a great game!

At 9:17, he quits to title because he wouldn't get the damage boost from the charm otherwise. The miasma reduced his total health to almost zero, but it was technically a full health bar which negates the charm's effect.

The bosses in this game legitamately killed me than bosses in Elden Ring.

Just want to say thanks to the developers! ❤️

Tunic is a love letter to video games, but maybe also to speed running

Definitely getting this for the Switch

This is the best indie game I've played in years

Loved tunic!

One of the best titles i've seen last year

Big respect for these Devs

Played the Tunic on the xbox game pass, would highly recommend playing before watching

It took this video for me to realize how many games Kevin Regamey has worked on that I've liked

Love these

Amazing definition for what a videogame is, allowing the player to play how they want and beat it with all available options. hope it wins Indie GOTY

I'd really love Alien Isolation devs react to a speedrun.

Just a little faster than my 18hr playthrough. 👀

9:15 - to restore the health bar back to max size.

Y pensar que despues de derrotar al boss final y creer que consegui todos las armas, encontre un pasadizo secreto debajo del punte cerca de la playa y encontre el reloj de arena (detiene el tiempo)este juego no deja de sorprenderme

It is a mechanic explained in the manual so it's intended (think it's like page 52 or 54). You can use them both at the same time for a freezing bolt.

Mood 20:38

Has the librarian trick @18.40 been patched out?

"Why the quit to title there?" To undo the hp drain.

How did they go to the end-boss without needing to get the Laurels? Like, why didn't the hit from the Heir cause them to go back to the beach as a ghost?

As far as the predictions about how fast the speedrun would get, the fastest time as of this comment is sitting at 17 minutes 25 seconds, by GrosHiken, and nobody has been able to beat that for the past 10 months. So the laughing guess of 16 minutes was definitely a lot closer than the serious prediction of 23 minutes.

That one's actually not even a glitch, but completely intended to be discoverable in a normal playthrough, with an in-game hint. In case you haven't played the game that far, this is probably a SPOILER even if I'm being vague on purpose, so bear that in mind. On the manual page listing the various items, there's something you may have previously seen and wondered about; that trick can be used once per playthrough for each of those specific consumables.

Just played half the game without knowing there was a sprint... siggggghh

If it ever gets ported to Linux some day, I'm definitely buying it.
