Earnable achievements for shmups and other projects

[clymax]

Hey all! Fan-made achievement modder here for some of my childhood-favorite arcade classics. New to the site, so consider this my introductory post, haha.

After doing several titles in other genres such as fighting games and puzzle, recently switching my focus to shmups, with my current project being arcade titles from the Gradius series.

Hope to share that along with other shmup projects down the road (such as shmup romhacks for NES), for anyone who may be interested.
Will try to keep things somewhat organized here in this single thread as opposed to creating different threads.

I also see that I'm not the only one from the achievement modding community who's posted here, haha.

If this post gets approved, I'll post some info on my first shmup mod for any interested players here. Take care!
