***** 8 mois, 8 mois x) J'ai commencé reprendre les recherches et à m'entraîner il y a tout juste quelques semaines ! En merci beaucoup mon cher. Quant à toi, il serait plaisant de voir ton speedrun de LBA prendre vie ;)
...And here I thought your "old" speed run was broken! First 15 secs, the moment you ignored the rug I knew this run was going to be something else. Every one of these tricks are sooooo much harder than they look...Bravo for all the hardwork and discoveries!
***** Thank you sir ! Of course I'm not the owner of all the tricks found in the game, two great guys helped me in the SDA Forum: LotBlind and Aqfaq. I hope we 'll find new shortcuts, I'll be glad to make a run of this game even shorter than my Another World speedrun ^^ Saddly, it seems impossible to directly reach the hidden room with the talisman in it. I'm really happy with the Nightgaunt skip though, and I find this trick a lot easier than the old bitch-slap technic from the old run x)
NintendoHardGamer Great! In my spare time I dab around with this game and mess with whatever glitches that I find...I can't imagine how many times you've had to reset from possibly failing the atrocious mirror and arrow tricks, and even in the cavern section where you had to jump around that hound monster is potentially a run killer if you're going for the absolute best time (I'd imagine)...I bet you're glad you don't have to do THEM anymore, huh? Hahaha well except the hound part, but now you can do it with ONE JUMP! Who would have thought! AND the ghost chase!!! woooow haha just noticed that from your 10:56 run! How did you NOT shit your pants from that one!? You're crazy good, dood! :P
+Scott Lazich Welcome to share your info on the forums (link up top)! Or just read about all the things we've found. kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Alone_in_the_Dark_%281-3%29 (under glitches and tricks) - LotB
This is crazy ! you my dear fellow, inspired me to do my own commentated run (it's not a speedrun), still hope you can have a good laugh. This classic game will never ceaze to amaze me
+DefinitelyRussian Thank you my good sir ! A new optimization should come very soon if everything's alright. I see you already posted the commentated run you told me about. I'll watch it with pleasure ;)
NintendoHardGamer Yeah, more optimizations ? wow, thought there were none. I also plan to do more runs like the one I did, but for AITD 2 and 3. Hope you liked it =D
Ahah, et bien merci à toi ! Si tu veux une version stable du jeu sur pc, il y en a une disponible sur Gog.com pour 3euros (il te sera offert les deux autres épisodes et les OST des 3 jeux). Il faudrait que j'y rejoue "normalement" moi aussi. Faire du speedrun c'est sympa mais ça enlève toute la substance au jeu pour le réduire à son gameplay. mais avant ça, il faut que je mette ce speedrun à jour =p Ce sera fait dans la semaine je pense... Mais chhhhht c'est un secret !
En fait j'ai déjà le record sur le deuxième opus, 24:34. Il en existe un autre sur RUclips à 18:10 mais ce n'est pas le temps réel: quand on regarde bien la vidéo, le mec a coupé toutes les phases de non-jeu (les dialogues etc), il a aussi tronqué toute la phase avec la petite fille, ce qui veut probablement dire qu'il n'a même pas fait son speedrun en Single-Segment. Pour te donner une idée, de mémoire si j'enlève les mêmes parties que lui mon temps serait de 16minutes environs. Les deux suites utilisent le même moteur mais les déplacements ne fonctionnent plus de la même manière, ce qui rend impossible les clips (permettant de passer dans certains angles). Toutefois je compte bel et bien faire un speedrun du dernier épisode. il y a une semaine, j'ai vu qu'un nouveau reccord avait été posté sur speedrun.com. Il est pas trop mal mais je pense pouvoir gagner une minute ou deux dessus. A voir =p
Very good run ! I remember playing this game in my childhood. Is there a thread on SDA forum were this game and related glitches are discussed ? i did not find any (except the KB). I have some idea which could help finding new ones like this (and thus probably reducing time).
+Tigrou7777 Thank you ! I hope you enjoyed watching it ^^ Indeed there is a thread about the game in the "PC games" section, I'll give you the link. There's also a dedicated page where you can find explanations about every known tricks, theorical optimizations and stuff, written by a friend (well I hope he is) who put a lot of work into it and helped me with tricks/glitches researches: LotBlind. The thread: forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/alone_in_the_dark_1992_dos.html The "archive": kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Alone_in_the_Dark_(1-3)/Game_Mechanics_and_Glitches I'm suppose to come back to work with the game but I had some hard times IRL so I wasn't really in the mood. BUT fortunately, I'll have all the time I want to do what I want, so I'll eventually speedrun again.
Out of curiosity, is there any functional difference between Hartwood and Carnby - aside from the selection screen. I know their kicking and shooting is slightly different, but that doesn't seem relevant in this sort of run...
+ActionTurnip My firt run of this game was made using Carnby because as he's the real hero of AitD I brathered taking him. But 2 months ago I just realized that Emily (due to the fact that she his taller apparently) is slightly faster. If I remember well their kicking animations are not exactly the same but it doesn't seem to change anything (kinda works like Rayman Legends/Origins, different animations for characters but same hitbox/timing). Funny thing though, I saw a video this week talking about this game, who learned me that Emily takes more damages than Carnby. Regardless of the sexist aspect (=p), it's funny to think that all those years I was not abble to notice such a detail just because it did not have any influence on the run x) And all this time I wondered if there were actual differences between the characters (as I thought that the fast-thing wasn't really volonteer from developers). Anyway, I hope I answered correctly x) Thanks for watching !
8 mois de travail pour une minute de gagné‚ chapeau bas NHG :)

1:58 "And then I didn't feel like obeying physics anymore so I ran into the walls and left." Well done!
***** Thank you, friend ! Try the Nightgaunt skip, you should find it a lot easier than the whole bitchslap trick from the last run =p
This is crazy ! you my dear fellow, inspired me to do my own commentated run (it's not a speedrun), still hope you can have a good laugh. This classic game will never ceaze to amaze me

lol I saw your run came hre because of it
Very nice strats!
Vraiment sympa, ça ma donner envie d'y rejouer :D

Mais chhhhht c'est un secret !
Ah nice ! Pense tu t'attaquer aux deuxième opus ? vu qu'ils utilisent le même moteur je pense que la stratégie à adopter doit être la même :)

+NintendoHardGamer . Thanks for your fast answer. I have added reply in the forum page you provided.
Très gg Bravo!

amazing
The remake wasn't that great. This should just be re-released in a new game engine.
