Kestrel

I'll be honest, I just rolled a random bird name for this one. Nothing avian really comes to mind when it comes to "achievement system." Anyway, I made an achievement system.

This asset is currently WIP and has not been published anywhere yet, but the documentation will be written as if it has, since I want to try to flesh out the API by putting it down in writing first. Hopefully it will be published for real soon™.

Achievement systems in games are one of those things that can be rather tedious to write, but probably look more or less the same as all of the other achievement systems. So here's my attempt at a general-purpose achievement system.

To get started, download the YYMP from the Itch page and import it into GameMaker (Tools > Import Local Package).

Links

• Kestrel can be found on Itch here.
• For the sake of my sanity, I won't be posting anything else to the GameMaker marketplace until Yoyo actually does a bit of work on the user experience over there, because my time is worth more than that.

Kestrel was written using GameMaker Studio 2.3.7. It relies on some of the language features added in 2.3.7, and won't work in anything older.
