Hello everyone! While Jeffrey (Chimeric) decompresses from the incredible task of moving his entire life and family halfway across the planet, I will be helming the next major event, which will be described right after a brief message that Nova Drift is currently 40% off for the next 13 days, and the soundtrack is 50% off as well. This is a great time to get both things as a bundle for that buddy that enjoys both novas and drifting: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/12177/Nova_Drift_Game__Soundtrack/
Now onto the main event:
Nova Drift Speed Run Contest: SERAPH KILL
Duration:
Submissions will be accepted between now and May 11th, 2021, 12:00 PM EST.
Submission Rules:
- Time must taken using the built-in Speedrun Mode timer.
- Submissions must be accompanied by video, with your time visible.
- Videos must contain the loadout screen, the full gameplay, and the end game screen. High resolution is preferred, but not required. Feel free to compress the video in order to make upload and download speeds more reasonable.
- Recording must have game sound and no substantial area of the screen blocked.
- Time starts on the first frame the player is visible and stops when the wave 100 Seraph is destroyed. Your time selecting upgrades also counts!
- No mods or game altering software may be used.
- Links to your video may posted in the #contests-submissions channel on Discord (https://discord.gg/Zp2MkPJ) or in the newly created Contest Submission Steam discussion: . You can chat about the contest in #contests-chat on Discord.
Game Rules:
-The wave 100 Seraph must be destroyed.
-In the rare instance that the Seraph is damaged by a singularity or comet, the run will be considered invalid.
-All Challenge Modes must be unlocked and turned on. Practice Game Mode must be disabled.
-If you enable Wild Metamorphosis, your submission will be entered into the WILD META contest, else you will be entered into the NORMAL contest.
Prizes (for both contests):
5 Nova Drift and Nova Drift OST keys to give to your buddies, plus public recognition!
And if you want it: The Pixeljam Complete game bundle (Itch.io key)
Other prizes will be given to second and third place, plus perhaps bonuses for extra creative speedrunning solutions :)
FAQ:
Q) Loadout screen?
A) The game over screen that shows all the mods that created your build.
Q) How to turn on the timer?
A) In the game settings screen
Q) After I beat Seraph should I just kill my player?
A) Probably, unless you want the video to be way longer :slight_smile:
Q) Can I upload the video to youtube or other similar platform?
A) Sure, just send us the link to the youtube video. However you want to host and share the video with us is fine.
Q) Can I submit multiple videos as I do better and better?

Q) Will the timer keep going after I beat Seraph?
A) Yes, but the sub-timers will show the final time to beat Seraph, and that's the time we'll use.
Good luck! Now get runnin'...
