I hope #5 never happens though, thats a long time for just one stage.

That’s why it’s an achievement. An achievement isn’t just a joke that’ll pop up on your screen with some obscure reference when you’re playing normally, it’s something you’ll need to put effort in. (you need to achieve it)

A lot of achievements in modern games disagree with you. I also think we should have some “guaranteed” achievements like getting to a new stage.

Yeah I agree with how some achievements should be guaranteed, but at least those ones require some effort, not just coincidentally making a creature with 42 cells and getting 3 achievements at the same time. I feel like most achievements should be grindable (so no “get hit by a meteor destroying your playthrough”, since it’s mostly luck, and you can’t really put an effort in getting save for making a save game with a very low difficulty level but a high chance for meteors (if custom difficulties are added)), and while some should be added that you can get just by playing the game (reach stage X or kill 500 creatures total and the like), they should not be too much. Portal 2 does this very well, by having a couple achievements you can get by normal playing, a couple where you have to do something specific (I.E. Pturretdactyl: Use an Aerial Faith Plate to launch a turret), and some secret achievements (I.E. Ship Overboard: Discover the missing experiment)

The plan is you shouldn’t be forced to advance to the next stage so if someone wants to stay in one stage for ages they can and we will support that. (Though each editor entry is a Certain amount of in game time , so we may just kill you off after a certain point because your star died) but that would take some time.
