Announcing the NewCity Speedrun Spooktacular! Lone Pine Games is offering a prize of $50 Steam gift card for the fastest (earliest game date) speedrun of NewCity.
Rules:
[olist]
You must post a VOD (Twitch or YouTube) of the entire speedrun from map generation to the Skyscraper achievement, on or before October 30, 2021, at noon Pacific Time. Commentary is encouraged.
The winner has the earliest game date and time at the moment the Skyscraper achievement appears. Speedrunners should provide a screenshot showing the achievement, the skyscraper, and the game date, for ease of verification.
The map may be a randomly generated seed, or superflat. It may have neighbors turned on or off. You may use a known seed. You may use any size map.
You may play on any game speed, and can pause the game as much as you wish.
All vanilla game features are allowed and encouraged, including blueprints and budget shenanigans. It is NOT a glitchless speedrun.
You must play on Hard difficulty.
You must NOT use the Scenario Editor, modpacks, custom buildings, in-game console, or any modification of the game files.
You must play on version 58.14.
Lone Pine Games reserves the right to disqualify speedrunners for any reason.
