    Achievements - Can they be done ?

    Hi everyone,

    As per above can you add achievements into your own games ??

    I was looking into the RPG Starter Kit and was thinking to myself if you can add more quests into the game can you add a achievement for finishing the quest ?

    No, there's no achievements for XNA games.

    Ah ok so MS is not allowing us to add acheivements into our games. 

    So am i right in thinking that we would make our own "Award" system in the game to replicate the acheivements ?

    I am thinking having like a menu screen with a "Award" page, where you can go into it and see what you have unlocked similar to the acheivements page found on our consoles ?

    Yes, using an Awards system like that is ok, as long as you don't use the word "Achievement".

    There are two nice examples on ziggware.com, but unfortunately ziggyware remains hacked at the moment and redirects you various places you likely don't want to go. You can try viewing the cached version of the pages.

    No, there's just no support for it in XNA Game Studio. Beleive it or not it's not an easy thing to support

    People would rather believe that MS is holding them back from being creative.
