    Today marks one month from Pokémon Clover being deplatformed in terms of fan-made achievements on the Internet.

    Today, FFV Central is pleased to announce that achievement badges are now available for players to earn.

    Badges are currently awarded based on video evaluation by achievement verifiers.

    Over twenty-five titles are currently supported. All genres and platforms are eligible to be supported.

    Players and eligible achievement designers are welcome. The latter will also act as achievement verifiers.

    1. FFV Central will strive to be a bastion of freedom of speech, transparency, and accountability.
    2. There will be no departments. No “authoritarian regime” as Salsa put it. The platform will be guided by libertarian principles.
    3. Any achievement designer can design achievements for any game.
    4. Players’ legit achievement unlocks will not be removed against their will.
    5. The work of achievement designers will stay their own.
    6. The work of an achievement designer will not be vandalized by another achievement designer or removed against the will of the achievement designer.
    7. Hack patches will not be cloned or hosted without hack author permission.
    8. Legally sold paid mods are eligible to be supported.
    9. Progression, beat, and completion achievements will not be supported. Games are meant to be beaten or completed.
    10. Softcore achievements will not be supported.

    For more details, please check us out in any of our sister Discords.

    A separate announcement will be made when Pokémon Clover achievements are available. If you are interested in assisting in that effort specifically, please reach out to us.

    Re: Arc the Lad 3 (PSX) [link]

    [The other dev] sabotaged my project and many Admins came to send me private messages just asking me to leave it alone.

    I didn’t receive at least one message from any “staff” group about the end of my clan about this.

    Strangely enough, I received messages about all sorts of other silly things before this lol.

    I did the previous 2 and maybe I was following a plan… We’ll never know…

    What we do know is that the staff supports [the other developer] having the clan about [claim on] this set, considering that she sabotaged my project and many Admins came to send me private messages just asking me to leave it alone.

    Always good in the land of the good pot❤

    1. Future with RetroAchivements

    YouTube Community Post

    Original Link: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx7Lt9XFMcsL_lJ6eJ5qZPIW4VhgE2j3OS

    If you haven’t heard the news, the site, RetroAchivements have decided to ban the rom-hack known as ‘Pokémon Clover” due the content of said hack.

    Despite its controversial nature, if was in the top 10 of the most requested sets on the site.

    However due to a vocal minority pressuring the site admins they have decided to ban all future development on any sets dedicated to Clover.

    I am completely against this decision and I will refuse to use the site any longer if this decision stands.

    Unfortunately this would mean I would no longer upload videos that have anything to do with RetroAchivements.

    This is a shame, due to most of my videos and I assume most of my subscribers are subscribed to me due to said videos.

    However, I will not support a site that will bend the knee to a vocal minority.

    So if the decision is not reversed at will halt all RA videos and possible either private or delete all RA content on my channel.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    2. The Last Straw

    YouTube Community Post

    Original Link: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxe7Vi22V5sp3VHuyqWdRQclgPIXAMKs3U

    And now Custer’s Revenge’s achievements have been nuked from RetroAchievements.

    That’s the last straw for me unfortunately.

    I will be deleting my account and will be deleting all of my videos that retain RA. Good riddance.

    Goodbye RetroAchievements. It was fun.

    Even if they reverted the changes I will still not be coming back.

    Sorry for those who came to my channel for help on certain achievements, but I will not give any support to a site who bends the knee to a vocal minority.
