Credits

First, thanks to all of the TASers of CVHoD. This run wouldn't exist without them.
  • pirate_sephiroth
He did pioneer the amazing route!

  • Comicalflop, Deign, zggzdydp
They had been developing "Maxim Version" run.
(Comicalflop and zggzdydp TASed "Maxim no warps" also. That run is one of my most favorite TASes.)

  • klmz
As you know, he is the author of the currently published "Maxim Version" movie. (Also normal version. I love that run.)
His optimizations were amazing, in particular, at name entry, warping, and luck manipulation.

  • Kaz, ljffdb2
Some important glitches and tricks were discovered by them.

  • gocha
His EmuLua scripts helped me to manipulate luck.

Mister Epic : Added YouTube module.
