    Barrier tiles no longer bring your health below one.

  • 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:
