Hi everyone! Been a bit silent over here for the past couple weeks, because I've been pulling together New Meat's first big update! This one will have new features, new curios, new lore and even a new ending to see! But...um...there's one thing it won't have...nor will the game probably ever have it.
ACHIEVEMENTS (likely) AREN'T COMING TO NEW MEAT!
Unfortunately, the compatibility issues with RPG Maker MV which prevented achievements from working at launch have proven insurmountable. What I thought was a simple failed handshake has proven to be a fundamental mismatch in how MV's file structure and the Steam backend are willing to talk to each other. I've had a commissioned programmer digging through the nw.js documentation for over a month looking for a solution, but they've come up empty. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's clear that solving this puzzle could easily take weeks or months of manhours that would be better spent actually improving the game.
I deeply apologize that a promised feature won't be appearing in this game. I've done everything I can to make it possible, but looking around, larger and more experienced teams than my own have failed in this task before me. I'm not saying Achievements will never happen in New Meat, but I'm no longer promising it as an upcoming feature.
If you want to refund the game, I perfectly understand. I know it's a small feature, but a promise is a promise, especially when you're selling someone something.
But I hope you stick around, because the next update is going to be something very special, and with the achievement feature cut, I'm going to redouble my efforts to make this new update worth coming back for. Cutting bait on this feature will probably be a net positive for the game in the end, and you're just about to get a taste of what I mean.
Coming very soon, get ready for the (now somewhat unfortunately named) ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS UPDATE!
