The Slowrunning game

>ITT: We design a game specifically to fuck over the Speedrunning community and make the worst game ever to speedrun
I'll start:
>No skippable cutscenes/dialogue
>Unskippable forced walking segments
>No sequence breaks
>No official in-game timers

The strongest attack is a summon with an animation that randomly lasts between 10 and 120 seconds.

tbf, sequence breaks aren't typically designed into the game unless it's part of a genre where that adds to the skill ceiling, like metroidvanias. If your game has 3D environments, you can count on people finding ways to get out of bounds and break things, and skip things like cutscenes as well. Also, in-game timers are often very inconsistent except for a handful of cases, which is why accurate external timers exist.

If you want to fuck over speedrunners, add random elements wherever possible.

Make it online only and auto kick/bans anyone who sequence breaks with constant event checks that slows down loading times

>MMORPG with forced grouping and shared world and enemies
>Game has unskipable sex scene
>It's required to progress the plot and load the next area
>Rarely spawning boss enemy needs to be killed for true ending and 100%
>100% completion is tied to real world clock, certain requirements show up seasonly or require waiting for resets
>Character stats are randomized when leveling, limit on experience you can gain within a certain time
>Cooldown period on creating new characters
>PvP enabled with no way to disable or play offline

Sequence breaking softlocks the game
Anything not intended by the developer is considered cheating and is immediately made to be disregarded as a valid speedrun
QTEs that pop up during slow cutscenes at random every time, and if they aren’t passed the cutscene gets repeated

You win.

Multiple waiting segments

>minute long cutscenes that can be skipped part way through but the skip time is semi-random and marked by when character says something

Actual speedrunner shenanigan counters:
>going out of bounds or out of the play area in any way crashes the game (fucks glitch fags)
>sequence breaking also crashes the game (more fucking of glitchfags)
>movement speed of player capped to the fastest they can legitimately go (no BLJ-style movement exploits for you)
>loading of new areas is tied to boss death, puzzle completion etc, being in unloaded areas counts as out of bounds and crashes games (no boss/door/puzzle skips)

Timewasters/padders:
>loading times are arbitrary, and not tied to actual loading
>all enemy placement is random
>all puzzles are random
>bosses all have phases with lengthy transitions
>all levels have required backtracking and detours
>all cutscenes and demos unskippable
>all menus require a separate load screen
>all deaths send you to beginning of level
