Achievement

An achievement rewards readers as they progress in the story or for finding a special place. They pop up on top of the visible story text and have a title and description.

Achievements can also get shown on the reader page, allowing other users to see how many people achieved it. This works in a way similar to Steam achievements.

Options
There are multiple options that change the appearance and behaviour of achievements. Like with a text and choice direction it's possible to change the style. For achievements this is possible for the title and description independently.

Code
With a code, statistics about how many readers found the achievement are shown on the reader page. Without a code, achievements become purely cosmetic within a story. If you input the same code in multiple achievements they will correspond to the same achievement on the reader page.

Hidden
Hidden achievements get shown on the reader page only after they have been found. Before this the text “Hidden Achievement” is shown instead of the title or description. Once a hidden achievement has been found you will see an eye in front of the title. As the author of a story you will see the hidden achievements as if you have found them, always with an eye before the title.

Silent
Silent achievements are not shown to the reader when they encounter them. Instead, they act similar to an empty direction. If readers decide to look at the reader page again, they can see they got the achievement.

History
Achievements were sprouted from the idea to be able to track the progress of readers and find out which branches of the story were most popular. They were first introduced in Android v1.10.0 "Achieving-Andromeda".
