Duke Nukem 3D's World Tour version has Steam achievements, which are not supported by raze.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding support for Duke3d achievements using Steam's API

Describe alternatives you've considered

Could also just not even bother, I guess.

Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

This would be a really nice feature to have, allowing people to gain achievements without using the randy greasefork version, and a similar idea has been done for other games before. (ex)

As far as we are aware, this is not allowed due to conflict between the Steam API license and the GPL - and there is yet to be a court case tested on this matter. Unfortunately we aren't able to afford fancy attorneys so we're not willing to wade into those murky waters. :)

This is not just a GPL matter. I don't think Steam would accept if some third party software replacement messed with their achievement system - we do not even know what precisely the game does because we do not have its source.
