Suggestion:  as an old man, I have no use for achievements and in fact find them really irritating.  Please include a way to disable them.

Jasper Byrne of Sole Survivor wrote recently that he was compelled to include achievements for his game when porting it to console.  He also hates them, but compromised by allowing the player to opt out.

That would be a really cool feature, but as far as I'm concerned, there's no way to toggle steam achievements (from the player side) there are ways to disable them from popping up through the in-game tab in the steam options though.

I would assume there's a way to disable them in the Steam client as it displays them, not the game.

Btw, guys, lots of good suggestions. Used some of the names for what they were suggested and some inspired me for other achievements.

I'm almost done with implementing the initial 50 achievements.

Only the steam version will have achievements, right? ...right?

Right.

Might want to look at some long-term acheivments, eg: "Deal 100,000 points of damage", or "Heal heal yourself a total of 5,000 points".

Achievements must drive sales, surely. In the last 2 days I've had 3 co-workers ask me IRL what this Underrail game is that they've seen me gain achievements in the steam activity feed.

I'd suggest taking a look at Team Fortress 2. Some of that game's achievements would take years of play.

Wow no one thought of this?

Blueprint library achievement

Studious Student: (15% of all blueprints downloaded)
Mechanic SGS Certified: ( 50% of all mechanic blueprints downloaded)
Biotech SGS Certified: ( 50% of all mechanic blueprints downloaded)
...
etc

and the mushroom achievemnt seems easy
Pick 100 Mushrooms - Casual Diet achievement
Pick 50 Mindshrooms - Shroomhead achievement?
Exploration achievements, secret quest or moral choice achievements (persuading/initmidation)

I see way too many combat-specific achievement and to me, that's not the point of these isometric rpgs.

I can't think of good names really.

but here are some more
