Now this guy really, actually wanted to save his son, instead of building a fortress in the woods for a few weeks first :'D
Building a gazebo never even crossed his mind, the "You're supposed to be saving Timmy" achievement is just stood there, locked with a surprised Pikachu face.
This got me 🤣
Well the kid gotta have a home to come back to doesn‘t it? 🧐
you mean a 5 story luxury Mansion with View
@@AceOBlade
Nothing less than that. That kid is used to some standard and we don‘t wanna disappoint him.😜
It’s really interesting seeing how developers react to speed runs. And how much they know you can do while testing.
Idk it's not that crazy that the people who work with the programmers know what the code does after testing it. They've done so much corner cases.
@@meestersecure9060 Speedrunners tend to usually break the code hence why they get impressed
Chad Outer Wilds developers: gives advice on how to go faster during their reaction to a speedrun
thank you Bismark
@@meestersecure9060 often programmers and QA testers are different people.
Got through the game so fast you could actually save your son before he is put in the obelisk
bro the record is 6minutes
@@sponge6236 is that with glitches? or how this guy played
Yeah he goes under the map
Spoiler lol
@@detectivebubblegum9777 Spoilers for an 8yr old game, okay.
He did more of the story in 5 minutes than I’ve done in like 100 hours.
The best play testers are speedrunners, they will find any glitch that helps them.
Yeah, but it doesn't matter, because any glitch they find that the normal player won't find, won't be patched out, for the sake of speedrunning. They only patch out stuff that a normal player might stumble upon and would ruin their game in some way.
Though there are exceptions to that too, where devs just try to fix anything that makes it easier for the speedrunners, mostly probably because of multiplayer.
Glitching is not speedrunning a game 🤷🏽♂️
You can’t call it a speedrun when you use glitches, because that is not how you supposed to play the game. So, you can’t call glitchers, speedrunners 🙌🏼
A speedrun is, playing a game as fast as possible WITHOUT glitches.
@@Hermanos1995 what you are referring to is called a glitchless run, this type of run is called an any% run, meaning get to a preset point in the game (typically the end credits).
an any% runs goal is to get to that point as fast as possible completing as much or as little of the game as you need to et there.
play testing isn't only about finding glitches though, it's about seeing what the general public likes/dislikes about the game so it can be tweaked. Since speedrunners usually play the game differently from most people it's not actually very generalizable feedback.
@@Hermanos1995 there is multiple catagories of speed running, glitch run and non-glitch run is just 2 of them.
Imagine being a cannibal on a deserted island, and some random American dude comes sidejumping through your cave...
😂😂😂
Can't wait for Dads of the Forest
THOTs of the Forest
Im honestly pretty hyped for stepbro of the forest
@@scorch3558 fake taxi Forrest gon be hella hype🔥🔥
@@Tbo69 you made my day x)))
coming april 2078: my cousin's nephew's friend related to the guy who used to sell weed to the uncle of my godson of the forest
SoTF hype is real, these devs are top tier!
Hell yea they are!
...
yeah
Yeah
Yeah can’t wait to troll lobbies lol
The look on the face of the mutants while the dude was whoosing past them completely ignoring them was priceless
Him: 1:20 minutes in, rebreather...Me: 20 hours in...I got a stick
Thank you IGN for promoting this game, you guys are awsome
But when you close your eyes...
AYE AYE
IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE NOTHING...
It's so boring, even MP
@@dpops42 go back to minecraft
@@dpops42 Then go play SIms or watch Firewatch Gameplays lol

Fresh perspective on this speedrun having the devs talking in context of Sons of The Forest being close to release!
Hyped for Sons of the Forest, gives me the LOST feels ❤️
The lost?
@@nathanrudd2327 Guessing he means that he does not know what's out there, and what to do
@@SimenW that or the movie
@@aloncohen3738 "Lost" the tv show
@@h.f1093 how did they all manage not to get it, one of them even knew about the show and called it a movie
they seem so kind ;-; this is oddly wholesome????
most game devs are so chill it’s awesome

Imagine being on the island as a cannibal and seeing a guy jump sideways with an axe in his hand going Mach 2
Such great devs.
Love how they are sticking to their update timer countdown.
For me. The forest is still one of the best, if not THE best survival game out there. Even in the earliest stages of early access it vent above and beyond other games.
it's a deforestation simulator
@@ZipClipChannel ?
@@mixednarwhal you chop down trees in the game
project zomboid is leaps and bounds ahead in terms of survival
@@sirrox8080 fellow zomboider
Love how the play tester calls the soda/fun drink energy drinks; in sons of the forest that is what they are called now.
This is legit one of my favorite series on youtube. On top of that, this is one of my favorite games to watch others play. So this is a total win scenario
This guy never had a straight FOV for a single second in entire game
Ive been waiting so long for them to react to this
This speedrunner would be the best dad alive.
This game was great, and with the second one coming this week, some great timing!
Its really interesting to hear how much play testers and speed runners have in common
Playthrough speedruns are so much better than glitched
nahh, this speedrun was only jumping and figuring the best routes. Imo the any% is way more interesting cus it makes me think about "how tf did anyone figure this out? somebody must have accidentally jump striked in this corner to glitch out or someshit" its so much more interesting to see how they use different glitches to save time and some glitches are hard af and in some games they need to do multiple hard glitches where run dies if failed for them to do the WR.
@@priima7464 It's still a playthrough run, not a glitched one. It's only those things, because that's all that was required to go as fast as possible
Sure but why the hell even bother having the devs watch a playthrough speedrun? They have played through these places hundreds of times the same way so this entire commentating just consisted of "yup, thats the fastest route".
A glitched one would involve much more in-game knowledge, mechanics and memorization and would recieve a much more hilarious reaction from the devs. watching the runner do things the devs have never seen.
bro the laughter in the caves 2.24 ign video time, sounded like it was actually coming from my room insane audio design
Devs React to Speedruns is one of the greatest content ideas IGN has had.
12:38 the comment he makes here is the essence of why The Forest was one of the most successful indie games of all time. They tested their game the way players would
He was almost able to get to Timmy in time to save him!
I'm super excited to see what the devs have in store for the future of SOTF. Having played and completed SOTF, it's definitely lacking a few things that would vastly improve the game (including things that were in the 1st game but are absent now). It is a fun experience to see the new island, explore new caves, and discover the new lore, but The Forest is still the better game of the two at the moment.
have you played recently? what do you think now when its been fully released.
It would have been hilarious if there was elevator music on the way to the second artifact and out of the facility, imagine!
I'd assume during a speed run the mandatory luls like climbing a rope or a cutscene you can't skip is a nice break from relentlessly trying to finish the game as fast as possible
It's amazing to see how well Devs know their own games.
its almost like they made it or something lol
@@antoniomolina3612 True but people forget.
me and my friend were planning to beat the forest one last time before the release of sons of the forest. But this guy can beat the game 50 times a day
We need more of this Mr Jace Hall
Can't wait for Sons of the Forest
woow, see ya in 2 days guys for the sequel ;)
Really looking forwarded for the 23rd
Two more days! I’m so excited
ey less than 20 hours now
That boss fight was ridiculous. Funny how devs let those things to exploit.
Boss fight is great in my play through. This dude just found a way to break the system
Id rather them not fall into the rabbit hole of preventing people from abusing bugs like this where it only affects you if you go out of your way to do it.
@@apothic0nThis ^
@@apothic0nThat’s basically what the poppy’s playtime devs did. They patched out every speed running trick.
@@alexschmitz3414 damn, no wonder they got so much negative PR before.
I've played this game for years and this is the first time I've seen the ending, lol.
went 100% cheevos this weekend. Bring the next one!!!
really should link the speedrunners channel/socials if you're using their content. Having their name in the video is nice, but the video wouldn't have happened without them.
They should have the speed runner in the call to answers the devs questions and exchange information.
Every runner goes up the ropes so it dosnt matter if it takes more or less time.
The only major problem with this speedrun is the fact that he spent time on making an upgraded spear. In the forest, the basic spear does the same ammount of damage as the upgraded one when thrown. So he could have saved a lot on time not getting the bones and not crafting the upgraded spear.
Maybe the throwing/pickup parameters are way better with the upgraded spear?
@@cupofmozzarella Nope. They are both the same. Except for the base damage being higher on the upgraded one compared to the basic spear ( when you don't throw it )
Spent 4 seconds making it lmao
@@ZOMBuckaCurt In speedruns, even a millisecond can matter
@@pieTone don’t you need the upgraded spear to make the fire spear though? He used that a couple times.
The Gore-idor is the new canon name
"it's amazing how little interaction he has with the enemies, He just hops around them" - Developer .... XD
thank you endnight for loving your gaming community
Absolutely loved playing this game, bought it for my work kids so we could all play together and try both endings lol loved it
Now we need a reaction to Sons of the Forest Stick Glitch Speedrun
Me watching the speedrun
The dev: those ropes really slow down the speedrun (he’s said it 20 times)
Just imagine being one of the enemies. Seeing this guy just jump around with Mach speeds and jump down massive drops without even a scratch. THAT would scare me.
The natives would probably go white man jump like crab
0:53 the legacy of the greatest FPS game of all time lives on. Praise QUAKE!
Lisp guy did not like someone being better than him in the game he created
didnt farket say that the throw damage of the weak spear is the same as the upgraded one? Isnt that a time loss to craft it?
yes crafting the upgrade, is slower but all the current records in glitchless are using the weak spear
we need son of the forest speedrun cause you can glitch throught the last door bunker WITH A STICK ONLY
More hype for Sons of the Forest after watching this
Still loved to play it.
that must be the lighter lil wayne flicks on his songs that things never dying lol
When you arrive at the artifact, you have to wait for red guy to bring Timmy.
It's cool to see the devs enjoying someone beat their game in 20 minutes when it's intended to be completed in hours!
I'm pretty sure it took many hours to figure out how to complete it in 20mins.
It's funny because the diagonal movement thing is such a beginner gamedev mistake. :D
Missing the normalize call on the movement input vector~
He needs the rocks to open the door thats closed cause of the weighted pressure plate
Nice so far
Greatest dad of all time right here
Man that one guy is really hung up on the rope slowing them down lol
10:32 How many nickels?
9 years later we finally know...
Spears having highest damage. As spears are historically the best (and most used) handcrafted weapon, I'm surprised someone made it in game for real. When humankind invented sharp sticks, lions and bears became our snack (no joke), and we boosted to the top of food chain. Something apes still can't figure out.
Now that is a really great father
Do more of these plz
They should see the spining skull speedrun
20 mins wow after a long time
when the lighter is out and you're running it's just super weird
Using stick method is best
Imagine you're creating a game for months/years and somebody pulls up a 20 min speedrun :D
Speedrunners have to play a game quite a bit to get their times down though. And a lot will play through it normally once first.
Climbing up ropes we need power winches to boost up faster.
Bring back the hotkeysystem for sons of the forest! The new backpack system is so clumsy
Wait... Could be the person comenting one of the legendary three testers of the game?
thats a strong lighter
It's interesting to see the perspective of an indie developer. You can tell the difference vs a triple A developer. Indie developers test their own games so there's no oversight. They know their game engine and the limits and what you can do and abuse.
They are using unity. Both the forest and sons of the forest, not their own engine.
@@sean8102 the engine they’re using they know very well
Feel like i've got tunnel vision watching this game.
It took me 7 minutes to realize this wasnt the forest 2
nice hype for forest 2
I’ve never even been passed the 5th night let alone grab that keycard
First weeks easy as it's jus cannibals after that it's mutants
The Outer Middle Show is the GOAT at The Forest game / games. It's not even close
Fr
I’m honestly more surprised that he managed to beat the game glitchless
That’s not an insult though
The curved rock negating fall damage is dumb.
They leaked something in 6:17 xD they said theres no animations but there was no animations either way even in inv so that means they leaked animations for sons of the forest
I'd love to hear these devs react to Soviet womble's video.
it feels like they don't know this game
They do. They dont know the speedrun tactics
They should react to the sons of the forest speedruns you can beat the entire game with just a stick.
Been patched they did put (sorry speedrunners) in the patch notes next to that fix though lol.
Looks interesting
Turned the forest into kangaroo simulator lol
@18:00 mins he mentions a dlc.....what is he referring to?
the physyc in the game seems like the moon
This took 20 mins but how long it take to get it down to 20 mins.
Now SoTF with 10 min speedrun
beautiful game
Surely the fall angle no damage method is a bug which makes it a glitch in a way? Idk lol nice work anyway
