2 quick update on some stuff I've done

First, I picked up speedrunning a game called Hammer_Space. Hammer_Space is a short indie game/demo that uses going out of bounds as an actual game mechanic. I first heard about it from FUNKe's video on Self-Aware Game Mechanics.

So there are three reasons why I started speedrunning Hammer_Space. First, I've always wanted to try my hand at speedrunning. I've watched a lot of Summoning Salt and have been interested in speedrunning for a while now. Second, the game is really really short. If a run doesn't workout, restarting is not as frustrating compared to some longer games. Finally, I really really think Hammer_Space is cool af. Already the concept in of itself is sick, but it's just so fun to play. Hammer_Space turns a game that was canonically supposed to be a fps and turns it into an awesome first person platformer where u go through walls, hop over voids, and bonk enemies with a big hammer.

Highly recommend that anyone reading this tries out the game. You can play it for free:

I love it so much in fact, I GOT WORLD RECORD FOR ALL THE CATEGORIES (lol). Fr tho, u can check the Hammer_Space page on speedrun.com rn and I'm on top for all 3 categories. Super proud of that. And hey, if my records get taken by someone else, I'll be more than happy to hop back on Hammer_Space to take them back. I just love the game that much.

You can check out all 3 runs right here:

Hammer_Space Any% Speedrun [1:19.231]

Hammer_Space 100% Speedrun [2:12.737]

Hammer_Space No-Damage Speedrun [1:21.601]

Alright, secondly: I'm in a another collab! The "Loss" Collab just dropped today and I got an artwork in there. I went for a Hotel Mario theme for my artwork, I just think Hotel Mario is really funny and love it for it's presence in YTP. Super fun collab, really enjoyed making the artwork cuz of how different it is compared to what I usually make.

PLEASE CHECK OUT THE COLLAB. A big part of what made this collab so fun for me was seeing everyone's artwork and all the creative ways people used the Loss format. A lot of cool artworks, a great mix of silly and serious.
