1.) To everyone who plans on playing this set, please use FCEUX. This is what the set was developed with in mind. It will increase the odds of achievements actually triggering.
2.) Almost all achievements should work tho a handful of them seem to be not working concretely. Despite that, technically all achievements are possible… except for two. The achievements that do not work at all as of me writing this, are: “Crafty Tactician!!” and “Cementing the Mastery”.
Do not go for them until another dev comes along and says they have fixed them. I say this because…
3.) I unfortunately will no longer be developing anything else for the website. My life has become to chaotic, and don’t have time to fix this set or complete any others I had planned. The lack of any player engagement despite putting over 300 hours of work into this honestly did not help either, and really demotivated to do anything else. It’s unfortunate, but for now, this set is impossible to complete.
Again, please use fceux, and follow instructions as carefully as possible. The set likely won’t be broken forever, as only a few minor tweaks to logic have to be made to fix it… but I’m not sure when someone will do that.
Sorry guys... this wasn’t a post I wanted to make, but I couldn’t just leave this in the dark.
Thank you for your hard work on this set. Hope things in your life get less hectic!
This set deserves to stay in good shape, so I've subscribed to the tickets and will do what I can.
If any player wants to provide me with save states relating to any cheevos that won't pop, I can take a look. The save states can be made in Softcore or Hardcore. Note that a ticket is preferred for tracking purposes.
Best of luck to players attempting the set!
Second, about the 2 sets that are broken: wouldn't it be better to remove them from the main sets until it is fixed?
This way it wouldn't be unfair for the more than 90% who just want to play to close the set 100%.
Thank you, AuroraX, for creating a bonus set that shows off some weird design choices in this game and eases casual players into speedrunning strats, in addition to some really hardcore speedrun/no-hit achievements!
I will say though, AuroraX's videos were a great starting point but they were not complete. There were a bunch of puzzle achievements where he purposefully didn't show the exact solution, but they were often just using already-learned mechanics/glitches in a different situation. Although there were still a couple of unique things that simply never got explained anywhere.
I would also say the 7 hour 100% warpless speedrun guide was completely overkill for that achievement. One hour is super generous for that run... I just learned his super optimised strats up to the Varia Suit, and then cobbled together the rest from watching runs on speedrun.com. Once you've got the basics down you can kinda just do that for any of the speedrun categories that the set's asking you to run... just find PB's from mid-level runners who are a few minutes ahead of the target times and steal strats.
If you need help now, ask TehDude and OldSport. They're nestroid gods now.
I was personally extremely unhappy with the video anyway, as it was rushed with very little direct info in it. It was helpful but not as helpful as it should've been. I will remake it within this year and do it better, but do not expect it anytime soon as I'm busy with other things in life atm.
For the hundo guide... yeah, there are better and easier resources out there for under and hour. They aren't hard to find. (SRC, YT... ect). Whatching mid level runners is your best bet for any of the speedrun cheevos here.
