Achievement System

[Arie-]

Nope, my education is called BIT, Business & IT. So my during my bachelor years I had some Java courses to "understand" programming (40% were CS related courses, 50% Business related courses and 10% BIT specific). Those Java courses were specifically to "learn" to think OO wise and to "know" what developing software is about. The business courses were general courses like Management and Organisation, Internal Organisation, Business Function/Process Support. The more BIT specific courses were an extra emphasis on requirements engineering.

The PDF is up !

Nice PDF. You actually made the idea sound good (I especially liked the part where you suggested to use achievements as multiplayer objectives).

Where are the achievements stored?

I agree local file is likely the best solution. I would go for a simple unencrypted binary file of some sort. Encryption is for open-source program completely meaningless in this context.

Multiplayer is much trickier, because some sort of unique identification of players would be required.

What are the possibilities of compatibility with the NewGRF?

I think barely anyone from this forum plays without any GRFs, so removing NewGRF support for achievements would invalidate the whole idea. But I think the achievements should be tracked for each combination of NewGRFs separately.

PS: What is that font? I looks really good.

Hey peoples !

I get this idea when i check my stats on Steam ; why not add a achievement system on the game ? Ones can be simple like create your first link between 2 industries, and others can be more difficult like be a Chairman in less than 10 years.

I've made some simples to explain my idea.

















When you get one, the picture pop up in the news place



That's all !

I love the idea, for a lot of people its the feeling of success.

You could try the Awards GS. It provides awards for random sometimes fun accomplishments in your game.

Achievments? Quests? What's the difference?

Sorry for the digging, but since SaruwatariKaito asked for the PDF, i reuploaded it.

Hello,
now that it is on Steam, maybe there is interest to include Steam achievements? I'm sure many players would appreciate having some things to work towards/try out in a free form game like this.

[Eddi]

this is extremely unlikely to happen, as this requires tieing in the (unfree) steam api with the game, which is incompatible with the current game license

[Aranaktu]

Thanks for the reply. Too bad, I figured once something is on Steam, all of the features are included to use. I can see it's probably unrealistic in this case.

In any case, some kind of achievement system could be an internal part of the game itself. This system could be a tutorial-related component where the first tasks would be very easy and the latter would be challenging even for experienced players and would require creative thinking. This could be a series of scenarios for example, where reaching a goal in one unlocks another.

[Eddi]

that is possible with game scripts. there've been a few attempts at that

I know, but I rather thought about something like this...
