[Dev Asks] Achievements suggestions

[tsunamayo]

Another dev asks for today...

So I will be starting to add achievements to the game. The main reason is to track the player survival progression, to show in game pertinent suggestion on what to do next. For example:

• Create 1T of hydrogen
• Travel 5km with an hovercraft

If you have any interesting suggestion please share! In the context of the survival progression or else.

Cheers

So a few easy one:

• Galactic traveler: Warp to N system (with a different N and a different name depending on the difficulty, ie journeymen, traveler, explorer ect)
• Bounty Hunter (needs a better name): take on N bounty hunting missions

Other names for the bounty hunter achievement: Crimestopper, Galatic Peacekeeper, Cosmic Justice, Patroller of the Stars

I liked all these ideas.

I think the achievements names should be puns with games, songs and movies. I loved when you used puns on updates titles some time ago.

[tsunamayo]

Thanks a lot all, there are a lot of good idea and good name! It will take a while to implement everything, the icons especially will be a bit time consuming.

[tsunamayo]

@Alkaliii @Tisdag1 @Crimson-Artist As your names are amazing (I want to use them all!), do you have some recommendation for travelling distance:

• in hovercraft
• In lightcruise
• Number of warps/ or lightyear distance for warps

All in three variants: low, med and high. I am not 100% sure yet I will use three variants though.

[Uncle-Ulty]

@tsunamayo

• in hovercraft "I'm in love with my hover"
• In lightcruise "Spread your wings and fly away"
• Number of warps/ or lightyear distance for warps "One more time!"

[Tisdag1]

I really liked a couple of Uncle-Ultys so I added them with mine. I hope you don't mind Uncle-Ulty! 😄 I also added a couple more categories in case you were interested. Also the numbers are ones I just threw on there. You can change them to whatever you think works best.

Walking 5km "Going for a stroll" 10km "Cross country" 20km "The road goes ever on"

Sprinting 5km "Out of breath" 10km "Going the distance" 20km "I have good boots!"

Hovercraft 20km "Low rider" 40km "Road trip!" 80km "Are we there yet?"

Lightcruise short "Spread your wings and fly away" <---Uncle-Ultys medium "Now we're cruising!" long "Ludicrous speed!"

Warps 1 warp "Boldly Go" 10 warps "Curious Cat" 20 warps "Stargazer" 40 warps "One more time!" <---Uncle-Ultys

[tsunamayo]

Thanks all, yeah I like those recommendation a lot. It is actually quite funny coming up with name. For hover we could also use puns based on air, like his airness (reference to Michael Jordan, as the highest tier for example), knowing that any road suggestion could also be used for cars when we have wheels.

[Crimson-Artist]

Hover Low- Going to Tosche station Mid- Eurobeat Intensifies High-The Swift and the Salty

Lightcruise Low- Dangerously Elite Mid- "Engage!" High- "They've gone to Plaid!"

Warp Low-No loading screens here! Mid-Gellar Fields Holding High- Pierce the Heavens!

The first Warp Jump surely has to be rewarded with a "Punch it ~Chewie~!" Achievement

@ProPeach Okay so I am currently adding this one, is the deal that Han dont say Chewie but people think he did? So having the crossed Chewie part of the pun?

[tsunamayo]

Also as Han says this when escaping the death star (if I recall correctly), I could have this achievement pops up only when warping to escape a fight. Or not as it is used in other movie / shows as a call to warp.

That was my thinking yeah! The Achievement would just be called "Punch It!"

That's a really cool time to get an achievement (maybe with a hull integrity below a certain %?), the name could work great for that instance too

[tsunamayo]

Thanks a lot everybody, I have added plenty already and will keep adding more. It is a lot of fun on my side!
