    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.

    Hey’all…Not Scott here ! I am playing a Randomizer of Ys 3 today…but it is a version I never played so I know the core gameplay will stay pretty much the same but it will be cool to see the differences between this one and the other well-known versions (PCE, SNES, GEN/MD) ! I will run this on my old trustworthy NES so you know the rom is legit ! — This Randomiser is made by my friend Clymax ! You’re the man broder !! 🙂
