(Offline, non-Steam)
Starch run: 1P (Full Chain!)
& 4P Virtual Player Count
So... for those of you who don't already know, AAC's Daily Drive does actually support Virtual Player Count (as well as all other EX Options, I think)... but only if you run the game directly, and not via Steam (i.e. find the game directory and run the "cactus" executable yourself... if you run the game via Steam, VPC will be disabled for the Dailies, even if Steam is in Offline Mode)! =)
----------
[A little extra info for anybody interested]
[Location note: If you don't know where the game directory is, you should be able to find it by right-clicking the game in Steam, selecting "Properties" then "Installed Files" then "Browse"]
[Save file note: Running the game directly uses a different Save File location, so if you want to use your Steam AAC save file (which you should be able to find at "Steam/userdata/(user#)/250110/remote" (or a similar location, depending on your OS or other factors)), just copy that save file (game0a.sav) into the "cactus_Data" subdirectory in your game directory]
[Gameplay note: Because you're not running the game through Steam, the game will look at your OS for date and time info... so you can actually choose any day you want simply by changing your OS's date and time! Also, the game will allow you to play the Dailies as many times as you want, instead of just once (the Offline Dailies use a different set of seeds, though, so they will be different from the Online Dailies)]

So, recording the Leap Day VPC4 Daily got me thinking about the very first VPC4 Daily I posted on this channel, two years ago... on April Fools Day.
I'd kind of been thinking recently that Starch would probably be a fun character to record a VPC4 Daily with, and had kind of been considering maybe recording one a little later this year...
But then it occurred to me that AFD would be as good a day as any... and perhaps a bit more appropriate than most, for Starch, so... ^_^
Anyway, long story short... there were definitely some tough spots in this VPC4 April Fools Daily, and I definitely had to make some strategy adjustments in certain Layers... but eventually... this run happened. ^_^
So here it is... my first ever VPC4 Starch Daily Drive Full Chain win! Hope you enjoy!
