Designing achievements has always been amazing to me. I put achievements everywhere. Almost each game I’ve worked on had achievements. It’s like the icing on the cake, one of the last, awesome steps of a game creation. I even made achievements for tabletop RPGs, through apps or paper.

Indie studio behind Draw Your Game, an app which allows everybody to create video games with paper and pens. Available on Android and iOS!
