game designers making their games extremely speedrun friendly and optimizing menuing is OUT

game designers purposefully adding in little weird bits into the game not to necessarily impeed the speedrun, but rather just because you're curious how the runners will handle it is IN

#buzzy #add a weird bit of glitchy looking movement into your game BLJ style with zero in game documentation and wait #see how long it takes them to find it. the chaos as they try and figure out the precise usage needed to make it run viable #bc okay it only works in these areas and the timings a bit tricky and if u fuck it up u can hit the killplane #oh also theres this One Item that makes u slightly faster but in order to obtain it u have to go through #the perfume department.....#i dont want game designers to fuck UP speedruns. i want them to fuck AROUND with speedruns a lil #add a tantilizing bit with a 'theres a mew under the truck' style thing that SEEMS fake but no literallt if you get there in time #you can actually get the item #but the timer for getting there is quite literallt impossible with normal gameplay. like not 'oh ho ho its a challenge!!!'#no its Literallt Impossible without glitching the game #but! this is important!#whatever you do do not purposefully put the glitch to get there im time in the game. does it exist? you dunno #just have it there as a tantilizing little mystery. is a 3:21 on this level even possible? even the fastest runners can only get 4:16 #maybe someday they will figure it out and if they do it will break the entire fucking game open #anyway will your Weird Little Thing be a crucial part of the speedrun? completely ignored in favor of faster tech?#mostly just a fun bit of trivia for commentators at events/weird trick to show off?
