#25: Constructive Cynicism: The World of TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedruns)

No-Hit Podcast

ConstructiveCynicism (@constructivecynicism on YouTube & Twitch, and @cynic_SR on Twitter) is the creator of the first Hollow Knight Any% TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun), or a speedrun done by a computer, completing the game in under 29 minutes. As well as being a WR level speedrunner in the Low% and All Whispering Roots categories in HK and in the game Rain World.

In this conversation we go through:

Foundation on what a TAS is

How Hollow Knight Mob & Boss RNG works/ is calculated

Software used and time taken to make

CC's Hollow Knight speedruns & Rain World

and much, much more...

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
