Greetings Researchers!
🎯 Steam Achievements
Steam Achievements are officially added to Research Story! In v0.7.8, there are 29 achievements for players to earn. Some information about the achievements:
- Some Achievements are retroactively given if players have met the criteria for it. Others can only be earned if triggered after the update.
- You don't need to start a new save to earn these achievements.
- All 29 achievements can be earned regardless of the settings you play on (i.e. longer day length or more base energy does not affect your ability to get the achievements).
- However, once the game reaches 1.0 (full release), we might add some "challenge" achievements that can only be earned with default settings. These achievements would require a new save file to be completed.
- As we continue updating the game, more achievements will be added! If you have ideas, we'd be happy to hear them :)
