Achievements
I finally managed to add achievements. I used a new library and things seem to be fine now. There are many checks done at different moments, so if you think you already did the achievement, try to do the action again to trigger it. Long story short, all the achievements will be updated automatically as you play the game. There is an extra check added when you load the save file. The "Game Freak" achievements can only happen during that phase for example.
Now go crazy with achievements and let’s increase those empty numbers (and break the game too)!
Resource Increase
I added bonus amounts for gold/blue stardust when you have a player level up or astral link level up. This should make progressing more enjoyable.
Localization
I am planning to finish the remaining features (Astral links + avatar skins in this month). So next month will be about testing and adding the small details here and there like Plano effects, image tutorials, etc...
Astral link level 3 should be up in a couple of days.
Localization is also one of the next steps (maybe some of it will be done in May) and the biggest feature left. I am still not sure how I will handle it. Whether I will involve the community for that, or whether I will outsource it. If you speak a language besides English and it’s included in the list (French, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese) feel free to come to Discord if you want to contribute. Obviously, I will add the main contributors in the credits. It’s usually more fun to do things with the community.
Controller input should also be added in May. I think this benefits people who use the Steam Deck (only trackpad for now).
