The Forest Developers React to 20 Minute Speedrun (Endnight) 

Building a gazebo never even crossed his mind, the "You're supposed to be saving Timmy" achievement is just stood there, locked with a surprised Pikachu face.

This got me 🤣

Well the kid gotta have a home to come back to doesn‘t it? 🧐

you mean a 5 story luxury Mansion with View

@@AceOBlade Nothing less than that. That kid is used to some standard and we don‘t wanna disappoint him.😜

Idk it's not that crazy that the people who work with the programmers know what the code does after testing it. They've done so much corner cases.

​@@meestersecure9060 Speedrunners tend to usually break the code hence why they get impressed

Chad Outer Wilds developers: gives advice on how to go faster during their reaction to a speedrun

thank you Bismark

@@meestersecure9060 often programmers and QA testers are different people.

bro the record is 6minutes

@@sponge6236 is that with glitches? or how this guy played

Yeah he goes under the map

Spoiler lol

@@detectivebubblegum9777 Spoilers for an 8yr old game, okay.

Yeah, but it doesn't matter, because any glitch they find that the normal player won't find, won't be patched out, for the sake of speedrunning. They only patch out stuff that a normal player might stumble upon and would ruin their game in some way. Though there are exceptions to that too, where devs just try to fix anything that makes it easier for the speedrunners, mostly probably because of multiplayer.

Glitching is not speedrunning a game 🤷🏽‍♂️ You can’t call it a speedrun when you use glitches, because that is not how you supposed to play the game. So, you can’t call glitchers, speedrunners 🙌🏼 A speedrun is, playing a game as fast as possible WITHOUT glitches.

@@Hermanos1995 what you are referring to is called a glitchless run, this type of run is called an any% run, meaning get to a preset point in the game (typically the end credits). an any% runs goal is to get to that point as fast as possible completing as much or as little of the game as you need to et there.

play testing isn't only about finding glitches though, it's about seeing what the general public likes/dislikes about the game so it can be tweaked. Since speedrunners usually play the game differently from most people it's not actually very generalizable feedback.

@@Hermanos1995 there is multiple catagories of speed running, glitch run and non-glitch run is just 2 of them.

THOTs of the Forest

Im honestly pretty hyped for stepbro of the forest

@@scorch3558 fake taxi Forrest gon be hella hype🔥🔥

@@Tbo69 you made my day x)))

coming april 2078: my cousin's nephew's friend related to the guy who used to sell weed to the uncle of my godson of the forest

Hell yea they are!

yeah

Yeah

Yeah can’t wait to troll lobbies lol

But when you close your eyes... AYE AYE IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE NOTHING...

It's so boring, even MP

most game devs are so chill it’s awesome

@@mixednarwhal you chop down trees in the game

@@sirrox8080 fellow zomboider

nahh, this speedrun was only jumping and figuring the best routes. Imo the any% is way more interesting cus it makes me think about "how tf did anyone figure this out? somebody must have accidentally jump striked in this corner to glitch out or someshit" its so much more interesting to see how they use different glitches to save time and some glitches are hard af and in some games they need to do multiple hard glitches where run dies if failed for them to do the WR.

@@priima7464 It's still a playthrough run, not a glitched one. It's only those things, because that's all that was required to go as fast as possible

Sure but why the hell even bother having the devs watch a playthrough speedrun? They have played through these places hundreds of times the same way so this entire commentating just consisted of "yup, thats the fastest route". A glitched one would involve much more in-game knowledge, mechanics and memorization and would recieve a much more hilarious reaction from the devs. watching the runner do things the devs have never seen.

its almost like they made it or something lol

@@antoniomolina3612 True but people forget.

Boss fight is great in my play through. This dude just found a way to break the system

Id rather them not fall into the rabbit hole of preventing people from abusing bugs like this where it only affects you if you go out of your way to do it.

@@apothic0nThis ^

@@apothic0nThat’s basically what the poppy’s playtime devs did. They patched out every speed running trick.

@@alexschmitz3414 damn, no wonder they got so much negative PR before.

Maybe the throwing/pickup parameters are way better with the upgraded spear?

@@cupofmozzarella Nope. They are both the same. Except for the base damage being higher on the upgraded one compared to the basic spear ( when you don't throw it )

Spent 4 seconds making it lmao

@@ZOMBuckaCurt In speedruns, even a millisecond can matter

@@pieTone don’t you need the upgraded spear to make the fire spear though? He used that a couple times.

have you played recently? what do you think now when its been fully released.

The natives would probably go white man jump like crab

Two more days! I’m so excited

ey less than 20 hours now

I'm pretty sure it took many hours to figure out how to complete it in 20mins.

yes crafting the upgrade, is slower but all the current records in glitchless are using the weak spear

Speedrunners have to play a game quite a bit to get their times down though. And a lot will play through it normally once first.

They are using unity. Both the forest and sons of the forest, not their own engine.

@@sean8102 the engine they’re using they know very well

They do. They dont know the speedrun tactics

Fr

In the patch notes that fixed the glitch of being able to clip through doors with sticks they put (sorry speedrunners)

First weeks easy as it's jus cannibals after that it's mutants
