Unfortunately the answer is no.

can i ask why?
Gua  [developer] Dec 29, 2016 @ 2:21am 
There's many reasons.

1. It requires knowledge of a programming language that I don't know.

2. I'm laser focused on my next project called Shadows Peak, so I don't plan to release any update for Gynophobia anytime soon.

3. Even if I did know C++, as a one man team, I need to be very critical about scope and budget of a project. Achievements is a feature that a lot of people doesn't need and it would be unwise for me to spend time on a feature, that majority of people doesn't need.

I appreciate your candor, but to say that Achievements aren't something people need isn't necessarily true in 2017 (or the year the game was released).

Many people won't touch a game without them and based on what I see posted about this game, I'm not sure even the sale price this goes up on is worth it for what is in the game.

Obviously you're not going to update this game - though you should, either by you, or getting someone who knows how to code Achievements to do it for you - but if you want even those people who sit on the fence with these types of games to even remotely think about buying your next project if it doesn't have them, I'd caution you to either learn, or again, get the help of someone who does. It can literally be the savior of a sale or a complete rejection (or even a buy and immediate refund after beaten within the hour). I know far too many people who won't buy games without them that hunt for smaller games like these to add to their ranks.

Just a suggestion, with no malice attached, even if it may seem that way.

Yep, this is what I hear so often. And I can't really argue with that thinking.

Well you have a good point you'll see I buy lot of multiplayer stuff but when it comes to singleplayer only games I get them if they had cards+achievements, only make a few exceptions for some if they're cheap/great as ****, co-op or something....

Have you planned to create achievement now?

No. There are no plans to add achievements to Gynophobia.

Ok, Thanks for your creation and for your reply =)
Apololgies for the necro.

I'm a bit surprised by the developer's response (I mean even achievement spam games, which are often incredibly low quality, sell thousands of copies... which I'm guilty of buying most of the time) but fair enough I guess. I probably won't buy this game without achievements, personally-speaking.

Wollte mal fragen ob du nach 8-9 Jahren deine Meinung geändert hast und vielleicht doch noch vorhast hier Errungenschaften hinzufügen. Denn bei Shadows Peak und Witch Hunt sind auch Errungenschaften. Also nur wenn du willst, lohnt sich wahrscheinlich gar nicht mehr nach 8-9 Jahren Errungenschaften hinzufügen. Wollte aber trotzdem nochmals fragen
