Step right up, step right up! If it's worth doing, it's worth doing fast - I'm sure in your expansive collections of postgame screenshots there's some with impressive times

Whether it's a 5-minute victory on Goatperson Purist VT VGT or 10 on Doubledoom because you got pitted against SMM/Frank, anything's good!

Definitely post here, but because things could get pretty disorganised here, I procured a spot on Speedrun.com as a possible leaderboard; I'll only be able to keep on top of the fastest times here.
If you want to get anything on Speedrun.com, though, you have to go through it's system:
(free account needed - can submit at http://www.speedrun.com/Desktop_Dungeon ... s_Hold#Any with either a video link, or postgame screenshot in the same slot)
times can be viewed from there at http://www.speedrun.com/Desktop_Dungeon ... ual_levels

The cool thing about doing this is that it can list and compare the times with all the race/class combinations, so submit already, wouldya? We could see the best times and strategies with every combination!

I've done Any% too (because nobody else is crazy enough to), in 2:05:18: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkCcpF2EV8A

I was thinking that Regular/Purist/Vicious Token would all be counted separately because of how much each affects gameplay - anybody have thoughts on this?
I was also thinking that a circuit-like thing of all the Normal, Hard, or Vicious dungeons could also be a cool thing because that could mitigate the luck factor - again, any thoughts, anybody?

Could probary have gone faster, 2:03 in Eastern Tundra


Nevermind i did it faster. 1:43


Sick run in Hobbler's Hold, Unstoppable & under 10 minutes! (9:41) [SPOILERS] ((0:46))

(Turns out hobbler's hold was my last (non VGT) dungeon left with thief, so all dungeons ('cept VGT) finished with theif now)

That was a... shockingly fast reply. I like it!
I've found Tikki Tooki Orc Rogue very fast for the single-boss dungeons because health doesn't matter when ya can't get hit!

Edit: Here are my runs so far, only got video - will take screenshots from now on:

Gotta speedreply in the speedrun thread you know, I'll update my post above if I decided to do some more fast runs, I can't record them unforturnatley, so you will just have to take my word for it.

Oh, yeah, sure - I hadn't even considered how easily screenshots could be doctored. But as long as nobody's sending out 3-second wins I think it's all fair game

Also, I highly recommend FFSplit for easy video capture - I could run it and most intensive games with just a Nvidia GeForce GT 640 on Win7; it works well on pretty much any system.

This is the coolest thread. Also, Spleen, you sound awesome

Hey, y'know... I am awesome

So, Lynzkar, you want me to clock that 9:41, right? I should just close the thread right now, I mean, nobody could ever get better than that!

Edit: Oh man I just had the best Hobbler's Hold run you guys won't believe it

Some pretty competitive times right out of the gate. Nicely done.

Funny how the only thread the dev likes is the one I'm never gonna post in... (<= except, sneak in a post like this...)
