AGDQ 2020 Panels: Routing - The Building Blocks of Speedrunning
56Welcome to AGDQ 2020's edition of panels! Attendees from AGDQ came together to talk about various subjects in front of fellow attendees, and were recorded so viewers at home could watch. Join us for some discussions surrounding speedrunning, and others that venture a little further!
Have you ever watched a speedrun and thought to yourself, "How do people even come up with this kind of stuff?" While marathons like GDQ showcase speedy playthroughs of video games as a completed product, it is the process of routing that ultimately pieces together a speedrun and makes it as fast as possible. This panel presents insight on the various aspects of what goes into creating a route for a speedgame, such as mechanical and thought processes of routing out speedgames in order to make them as fast as can be.
