I got everything except the Joja one.
I’m calling it 100%.
“Professionals have standards!”
Grandpa is smiling down on you.
They deserve a medal! 🥇
I saw what they wanted and declined the offer. Such a grind to 100% that game.
They meaning the guy who make the game and posted that he finally completed it?
Do Devs decide achievements? Honest question.
Yes.
although in some cases with a publisher they could also be involved in determining requirements such as minimum number, etc.
I always figured it was something steam shoves down devs and/or players throat, since it’s a bit of a dark pattern toward buying into their ecosystem.
Otherwise I would consider many many many devs deciding achievements are not their or their game’s thing.
Dev here. We decide the achievements. We have to set them up manually for ps5, xbox and steam. The idea is to give achievement hunter types more gamplay basically. Although certain game devs use achievements as a form of analytics. When you get an achievement like “Level 2 finished” that’s because the devs wanted to know how many players got that far in the game.
Are you free to ship a game with no achievements?
Of course they are.
