    For clymax’s projects, click here. You can also follow him on YouTube.

    The Crusade mod of Fire Emblem 4 on Super Famicom is now in closed beta courtesy of clymax.

    This mod is unofficial and is unaffiliated with Intelligent Systems and Nintendo.

    Like all of clymax’s rando mods, it’s a self-randomizer, so just simply reset the game to play a new randomization.

    A release build for Romhack Plaza is being considered, or you can get early access to the dev build on Game Jolt.

    Development Build: Features

    Gained experience boosted to 64x.

    Gained gold boosted to 64x, with a cap of ~32K.

    Weapons no longer lose durability.

    Items rewarded for visiting a village are now randomized. Duplicates can be rolled. Seeding not yet supported. Filter not yet added.

    So, what do you think? Which entry is your favorite in the Fire Emblem series? Comment below, or come check us out on Discord.

  • Coding Retro Achievements—LIVE with solidification*

    Super Shell Monster Story (SFC)

    *Contingent on Discord poll results.

    solidification is a prolific creator of fan-made achievements across different game genres and especially in the world of Final Fantasy mods. You can follow solidification’s set-making journey here.

    Writes solidification:

    Come watch me make an idiot of myself as I don’t stream and never have and it took me like an hour just to figure out how to set anything up and get it working in a way I was SORT of comfortable with.

    I’ll be playing a game I have never even seen before (except the 3 seconds to confirm that I had the right hash after patching it)!

    I’ll discuss how to find “very typical addresses needed for a minimal RPG set and exceptional RPG set” and break it down so much you’ll be bored to tears.

    Because my motto is: “If I can do it, you sure as hell can!”

    …And I’ll probably make a few mistakes on the way because that’s what it’s like opening a brand new game you’re unfamiliar with!

    You can catch the action on Twitch:

  • Commercial Publishing Pilot

    Listing Your Romhack Patches for Sale

    For clymax’s projects, click here. You can also follow him on YouTube.

    For the first time, under a new pilot, mod-makers can engage clymax to serve as publisher of mods they’ve made.

    Such mods will be published under the following terms and conditions.

    1. The mod-maker agrees to a publishing cut of 25% from revenues after transaction processing fees and any store fees. In return, the publisher assists with marketing, sales, and distribution of the mod as the publisher sees fit. This includes matters of compliance related to the mod.
    2. The mod-maker has the option to request hacking assistance from the publisher in bifurcating a mod into public and private releases in a compliant manner. This can be of particular relevance to mods deemed non-compliant. The publisher provides such hacking assistance for an additional publishing cut of 25% (for a total of 50%). This includes ongoing technical support related to the bifurcation.
    3. The publisher can, for any reason or for no reason, decline entering into a publishing arrangement. For instance, certain types of mods may not be eligible for this pilot, such as due to reasons relating to compliance.
    4. The publishing arrangement can be terminated by either party with thirty days’ written notice, unless otherwise specified.
    5. The mod-maker retains any and all rights belonging to the mod-maker. The publisher retains any and all rights relating to the bifurcation if performed by the publisher. No rights are transferred between the mod-maker and publisher as part of the publishing arrangement.
    6. Although the mod patches are deemed as being legally published, neither party provides the other with indemnification if the mod patches are alleged as infringing the rights of others.
    7. No legal advice is rendered as part of the publishing arrangement. No client-attorney relationship is formed.
    8. All rights belong to their respective owners. No laws are violated by the mod or the publication of the mod’s patch.

    For more details or to discuss a publishing arrangement, DM clymax via Discord or Twitter/X.
