All of us are familiar with the worst nightmare a Doom speedrunner has to deal with: the dreaded moment when you are grinding for the next second and see .00 on the intermission screen. Especially inf

Another demo month wrapped up. :) Congrats to @Bdubzzz for top place, with no real competition :^) (2nd place: me, 3rd place: @kmc). Not quite as many demos as last month, but I guess some of the runs were a bit harder to beat, and many were longer too. Only a few that were deemed impossible, though, I guess; it appears .00/:00 times are more commonly left that way because the run was too annoying to get more exits on not too hard to beat. :D

 

Even more players than last month, though, although a couple managed to get in by just posting to separate threads and not really participating, so I guess a bit unfair that way. Glad to see all the co-op runs got done too. It's just too bad those million points were never claimed. :(

@Bdubzzz won by a margin which is nuts, also I noticed that he only started beating his own runs quite late in the game, and I think beating own runs = easier points. Also, 3rd win in a row. Amazing!

Also notable:

- high number of coop runs

- @Laure and @Narien who only recently joined have scored really well

 

My score is 19 demos but I saved overall 1 hour 2 minutes 30 seconds from the previous records which is not bad :)

Yeah my plan was to save my own runs until the end for some easier points to fall back on to but to be honest a lot of my runs that got selected for this month that I looked at I didn't want to run the map again. My original crazy plan was to do 10 runs a day but after the 10th day my motivation for that to happen really dropped off and the runs started to get longer/harder to beat. :p Anyway it was fun as usual and my favorite random wad/run was Fistful of Doom Map 02 https://dsdarchive.com/wads/fistful3 just playing map 02 was funny as hell the entire time to me.

 

I will say one of the "problems" with recent demo months is usually whoever has the most free time probably will win. I just happen to have a lot of free time whenever a demo month is selected :) I don't know how you would solve that problem though and in the end it's kind of like working as a team to beat all the runs on a list anyway so I suppose it is fine as is.

Fiffy Remix in 6:25

Belatedly, many thanks for this. It is much closer to how I envisaged a recording of this map should play out, with so much more infighting and splash/spray efficiency to alleviate the scarcity of rockets and cell ammunition. But my motivation to restart after death has always been severely limited, so I have always been forced to adopt less risky strategies to ensure I reach the end of the map, even though this means the time is slow and the recording laborious and plodding... Also I appreciate your mentioning baron punching in the text file as I seem to recall it was this map that taught me it was possible :).
