The very last thing on my checklist is setting up the Steam achievements.I've poured a lot of time into making this short game as fun (and spicy) as possible, so I'm really excited for you guys to see how it plays out. If you haven't already, adding the game to your wishlist is a massive help for a solo dev like me. Plus, Steam will notify you when it goes live.I'm going to get back to work now, but I'll make another p…
