From time to time, we feature remarkable news of speedrun, some players play the same game over and over again to finish the games they are sick of as soon as possible, breaking records and making their name in the history of speedrun. There are also various categories in speedruns. For example, in the Any% category you are free to use all kinds of glitch, the only goal here is to finish the game as soon as possible. This allows, for example, pillars of eternity to be completed in 25 minutes, Control in 48 minutes, Spelunky 2 in under 2 minutes. It’s the most popular category. In the 100% category you need to complete the game completely, find everything. Low% is the category of finishing the game by collecting things at a minimum level.

Here’s an initiative to increase overall interest in these speedruns: Game Ventures.

Well-known speedrunner Eric “Omnigamer; Koziel and his business partner Kristopher Cost introduced the Game Ventures platform, which will work with community contributions. The purpose of this platform is for viewers to create speedrun competitions by putting prize money for various purposes for games. These objectives can be to finish the game in the fastest time, reach the highest score etc. Users will create a Venture with a clear purpose and rules, and if completed, announce their promised monetary reward.

When this Venture is listed as open, other participants will be able to add to the prize and insdify the competition.

Those who wish to participate in these races will also be able to see the current claims and follow the latest status with Twitch streams. An interesting idea in general is that if it does, there will indeed be increased interest in speedrun or similar struggles.
