Archipelago VS alttp_vt_randomizer

Due to the way it’s designed and its short length, it has a great randomizer. It is a decently popular pick in Archipelago multiworlds. In fact someone recommended it in a multiworld I was playing so I picked it up.

> walk through a door in an RPG Maker game end up playing a Quake level! And then, upon killing a certain enemy, be suddenly in a bossfight in a SMW ROMhack!

I just learned about this [1] yesterday but seems to be the first data point I've seen regarding something like you describe. Very cool to see, and it definitely blew my mind that things like this are now being developed.

There are randomizers for many Metroidvanias at this point, each with their own community of casual and competitive players. Just in Archipelago system you can find Hollow Knight, Blasphemous, Super Metroid, SMZ3, Timespinner, and The Messenger.

I recommend checking out a randomizer mod at https://archipelago.gg/ (https://archipelago.gg/games/Stardew%20Valley/info/en). You start a new file with a defined goal (i.e. 'complete the Community Centre'), and set about seeing how fast you can do so, but... with some tweaks. For starters, you could randomize your seasons or seeds. Then things like progressive abilities and items. i.e. you earn fishing level 2, but instead of *receiving* fishing level 2, you get a Coop. When you go to Robin to buy your Coop, you receive... an Ossified Blade. And when you manage to fish up a Flounder, you receive... Fishing Level 2.

Not really speedrunning but since GDQ has randomizers, I'll mention Archipelago. https://archipelago.gg/ Multiworld randomizer that has people contributing to add game integrations. They have documentation on how to add games https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/tree/main/docs Its a lot of fun and I feel will only get better the more integrations people add! Definitely covers a lot of programming areas from assembly to networking.

It's a multiworld randomizer https://archipelago.gg/

It’s cool stuff. Funnily enough, Zelda 1 was added to Archipelago literally yesterday.

Archipelago Cross-Game Multiworld Randomizer

v31 logic is all defined here: https://github.com/sporchia/alttp_vt_randomizer/tree/master/app/Region/Standard

It definitely is, but if you are looking for a challenge, I think the randomizer is pretty fun https://alttpr.com/

Just https://alttpr.com not www.

If that sort of thing interests you, check out the randomizer mod at alttpr.com if you haven't already. Infinite replayability for one of the greatest games of all time.

Hi, I'm a dev on the ALTTP Randomizer project at https://alttpr.com .

Now go to https://alttpr.com and start the randomizer addiction. Or if you prefer, 100% Super Metroid then play the combined randomizer at https://Samus.link

Well when you are ready alttpr is here. There are randomizers for all the zelda games now, so looking up that game on twitch will be mostly rando players (in particular alttp, oot, and tloz).
