RPG Maker Forums

I am creating a commercial game, and I know that a lot of games have 'achievements' that the player can do to increase the game. To be honest, I don't do achievements, because of all the lame ones I have seen from professional companies like some of the following made up, but could easily be real achievements.

YOU BOUGHT A POTION achievement
YOU DEFEATED THE FIRST BOSS achievement

You know things you were going to do at some point of the game anyway, and from what I have seen they rarely extend the game play. As a matter of fact, it seems that a lot of professional companies don't really care for them, either. This could explain why the achievements are so lame and when they put their games on Nintendo, Who doesn't have a policy of achievements like the other two, it may or may not have achievements. So the question is: Should we or even someone like me, go out of their way to add achievements in the game and what might those achievements look like? Should they offer some sort of physical reward (like a special item) for achieving that goal?

Example: You discovered all the treasure chests in the Lost Forest (Reward: A rare potion)

If you ask me, what my gamer score is, I couldn't tell you and I'd have to look on my Xbox to show you how little I care.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
