I actually found out about it several years prior, but didn't bother because I had an impression it's not polished enough, and the platforms supported were too retro for me. This is definitely not the case anymore: much more game consoles are supported, and new achievement sets are reviewed by people with the experience to ensure quality (only if developer is new). Initially I looked into [available PlayStation games](https://retroachievements.org/gameList.php?c=12) and got an excuse to replay [the original Gran Turismo](https://retroachievements.org/game/11320), and while playing I thought: _there are no Colony Wars achievements, if no one else did them so far then who will? Me, I guess. I could give it a try._ I wonder how many people actually developed their first achievement set with same exact motivation. In this blogpost I want to introduce you to the whole thing, share my struggles and give an opinion on achievement development workflow through perspective of a regular programmer. diff --git a/_issues/2023-09/index.md b/_issues/2023-09/index.md index 65e4866b3..f575bdf87 100644 --- a/_issues/2023-09/index.md +++ b/_issues/2023-09/index.md @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ toc_float: true --- ## Intro -Welcome to RANews, your #1 source for everything RetroAchievements.
