  • Gradius III: Vaporized Released

    You can follow clymax’s projects via FFVC or YouTube.

    The Gradius III: Vaporized mod for the SNES has been released courtesy of clymax.

    It belongs to the lineup of clymax’s “RPG/leveling” mods.

    1. Itch.io has a twenty-listing limit and does not allow multiple untiered entries in a single listing, so no listing there for now. ↩︎

    Development Build: Features

    Grind your ship into an epic destroyer! Earn score-ups to level up your ship. Your progress carries across runs and resets!

    Hi-score display has been replaced with Level display.

    Save-file support has been added. Ship level is autosaved in the save file.

    Requires the SA-1 v1.7 Origin patch from VitorVilela7 on Github to be applied first—more info here.

    Each level improves your weapon power. Minimum level is zero. Max level is 99.

    To reset your ship level, change Sound Mode to Monaural in the Option menu without needing to exit the menu.

    In 2P mode, both players will share and contribute toward the same level.

    Continues increased from three to unlimited.

    Reduce-type shields can now stack to shield more hits than you can count!

    Each weapon loadout now has its own level. All custom loadouts are represented by a fifth level.

    A new death mechanic has arrived!

    Want to see more of the mod in action?

    So, what do you think? Where does Gradius III stand compared to the other entries in the series? Do you think the arcade version or the SNES port is superior? Do you prefer the SA-1 Root or Origin patch?

  • Leveling-1CC Pilot

    Update: this pilot has been replaced by the Whirlwind Fiesta event, which you can access here.

    Preserving Arcade Culture: Promoting 1CC Attempts

    Under a new pilot program, players are eligible to request an early-access build of an “RPG/leveling” mod by clymax, at no charge, provided that the player will use the build to submit a run to the relevant one-credit-clear (1CC) leaderboard (actual leaderboard WIP1)for verification.

    1. The player is required to have at least one verified run on a recognized scoring leaderboard at the time of making the request. A link to the run page must be provided.
    2. The verified run must be in a game of the same genre as the mod being requested. E.g., STG, fighting game, run-n-gun, etc.
    3. The player will be asked to prove that he or she is indeed the same user as the one on the scoring leaderboard.
    4. The player will be expected to submit a run within three months of receiving the build.
    5. The run itself does not necessarily need to be a 1CC. E.g., 2CC, 3CC, etc., as long as it is a bona fide attempt at a 1CC.
    6. The video of the run must be uploaded to YouTube and must be a listed video.
    7. FFV Central and the pilot host are permitted to use the game footage to promote the site, mod, pilot, etc.
    8. No rom will be provided; only a patch file will be provided.
    9. Once your run is verified, you can repeat the process if you wish. There is currently no limit to the number of builds you can request under this pilot.
    10. A global monthly redemption quota across all pilots may apply, and a redemption waitlist can be maintained.
    11. Acceptance of a player into the pilot is at the discretion of the pilot host and/or mod author. A player can be declined entry into the pilot for any reason or for no reason.
    12. To avoid competing with similar events being hosted, this pilot is suspended during such events. The pilot can also end at any time at the discretion of the pilot host and/or mod author, so sign up today!

    Interested players, please make a redemption post in the help channel of our sister Discord, clymax’s magical arcade here.
