The ever-so overdue continuation of our any% WIP back in mid 2008. The run has been remade since then, to aim for real-time. The fundamental difference between real-time and ingame time is that real-time aims to avoid as much lag as possible and optimize the door transitions to avoid them scrolling as much as possible. If any transition looks awkward, then this is the exact reason as to why.

This run actually first started in february 2007, which makes it nearly 3 years old. We redid this run waaay too often due to improvements in the earlier parts of the run, the rest of the time was mostly spent on Phantoon, actually. We spent around 6 months on him alone before we managed to find the new improved method.

Regardless, I removed the door transitions and itemscreens, and sped up most of the downtime periods, except waiting scenes. I left about 30~ frames of the door transitions, to avoid that awkward chunkiness you get from completely removing them. Accordingly, I added some music to accomodate for the awkward skips in the background music or sped up sound;

Current Value - Dark Rain
Pendulum - Plastic World
Pendulum - 9000 Miles

All syncs are coincidental. Except in Ceres, the entire Ceres was made several months ago... which is indeed a testament to my laziness.

Please enjoy, and remember that this a tool-assisted production, using frame advance and savestates. Any information, or answers, can be found at tasvideos.org.

Finally - The ETA for part 2 is unknown. I haven't even started working on it, but I believe in about 2 days is a safe estimate.
