I've been on a grind of improving my IL speedruns for DreadOut 2. Prologue and Act 1 done, Act 2-7 to go!
Here, I beat this IL time by ~40 seconds: youtu.be/GOkcCHSFdB0
I also have a real thumbnail now!

After working on, and collaborating on 9 different routes, and doing dozens of attempts on each, nothing can beat KSans WR. Even though she also used Simplified Chinese, which is slightly slower than Traditional Chinese.
Its almost worth accusing her of cheating at this point, but theres obviously no proof, and Im just a sore loser lmao.
This is my limit. You win, KSan. At least for this category.

![Gawr Gura: Quest for Bread | Demo Speedrun [2:40.85]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xqUE07HpAxw/mqdefault.jpg "Gawr Gura: Quest for Bread | Demo Speedrun [2:40.85]
A while ago, a video popped up in my recommendations. It was a video someone uploaded, related to Quest for Bread. It was a speedrun, and it was good, too.
Anyway, I thought I might as well put in a few attempts, since the full game is right around the corner.
I also found out that there are a total of 3 other players who have speedran this game (excluding myself), and they all seem to use the same timing method that I originally used. Being starting when you press the Play Demo button, and ends when you beat Calli.
According to this timing method, I beat DiabloFG by literally 1 frame. I timed their run more precisely, and it was 2;40.86. Here is their run, if youd like to see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju3Xgeyjhzg (as far as Im aware, this is the current (now former) WR)
Diablo is admittedly much better at the Calli fight than I am, and thats where they excel the most. From the start of the run, all the way to reaching the door to the boss fight, my time was 1;18, and their time was 1;24. The Calli fight took me 1;22, and took them 1;16.
If it wasnt for their movement being worse than mine, Id be unable to compete against them.
But to give them credit where its due, they clearly looked like they were going to do good strats, but just messed them up, which happens to the best of us.
As Ive talked about in previous videos, I am trying my best to transition to Linux (I use Arch, btw), and with that, Ive also been using a timer called OpenSpeedRun. The way I start the timer is by pressing Ctrl + Shift + 0, and I split with Ctrl + Shift + 9. Because of this, I started the timer late, and I accidentally pressed Ctrl + Shift + 8 (which is reset), so I accidentally reset the timer at the end. But none of that matters, since I still retimed it in post, so it is still accurate.")
![DreadOut 2 Demo | Any% Speedrun WR [9:57]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ywaaSh8Cfok/mqdefault.jpg "DreadOut 2 Demo | Any% Speedrun WR [9:57]
For those who are unaware, Digital Happiness (the team who made DreadOut) released an online showcase for a bunch of their upcoming projects.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWyE7COQxqQ
During this showcase, they also released an old demo for DreadOut 2, showing what their original plans looked like.
The demo itself isnt very long. Everything you see here is basically all there is to see. I just thought this was a very cool and fun demo, so I decided to try speedrunning it, since I do enjoy playing DreadOut, and it was one of my biggest motivators for wanting to learn about Indonesian culture ever since I tried looking up games to help me learn the language.
I might release a video of my first reaction to the game on my 2nd channel. Theres just a bit of editing thats kind of required, and Ive been busy with a couple of other projects, and my new PC has some issues, and I work a lot everyday at my job. And I havent been able to get a hold of AFFRA, so I need someone else for making thumbnails. And nobody even watches the videos on my 2nd channel, so idk.
As for the run, it was kinda sloppy. The combat is both good and just weird, overall. Id say that some things feel very incomplete, but... Im playing a demo.
Unless someone tries to beat this, I might not improve it. Even then, Im not interested in a battle of WR trading. Id probably only try to take it back like 2 or 3 times, depending on how competitive it gets.")
![Needy Streamer Overload TAS | Welcome To My Religion [3:37.28]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zn7aMu7DiTw/mqdefault.jpg "Needy Streamer Overload TAS | Welcome To My Religion [3:37.28]
For those who may not know what a TAS is, T.A.S. (Tool Assisted Speedrun/Superplay) is the process of doing a speedrun, while using tools to manipulate many factors of a game, in order to create a theoretical perfect speedrun.
The term tools can often refer to many aspects, such as using mods that manipulate luck factors, speed, savestates, or fully custom tools that give you internal information.
More specifically to this video, this run uses an auto player mod made by the NSO modder, Frostworth.
This auto player basically runs off of code that attempts to do every action as soon as it is capable of doing so, making for the most optimal time for everything.
For more information on TASes, most people like to refer to Bismuths video on explaining TASes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ietk1-Wb7oY
All tools used were made by Frostworth. Please check out all of their awesome NSO mods!
