Achievements are extremely popular in the gaming universe. They can be an exciting way to expose a game’s diversity, provide an additional set of challenges or allow players to showcase their skills. As developers, we try our best to design achievements for a broad range of player archetypes.
Let’s have a look under the hood at some of Lemnis Gate’s achievements and pull back the red curtain to reveal their game design motivations:
Advertise content
Encourage players to divert from their main path, enabling them to explore areas of the game they could be unaware of.
Reveal a Behavior
Achievements that teach about a gameplay mechanic or reward a specific playstyle.
Provide challenges
Hardcore challenges for hardcore players. Only the best players should be able to get them.
Enhance Longevity
Stretch goals to keep players engaged for a long time. Yes, we really like Chicken Parmigiana!
INSPIRE Exploration
Objectives related to Easter Eggs or fun things hidden in the game. They reward players for being curious.
So next time you’re playing your favourite game, check out the achievements and see if you can reverse engineer the design intentions behind them!
