<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">It definitely supports all those things, except for the automatic reward part. Unless I’m missing it in their documentation:<br>

<a href="https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/achievements#4">https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/achievements#4</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These points in particular:</p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">For achievements that have progress bars use ISteamUserStats::IndicateAchievementProgress at significant points to show a pop-up with the progress. For instance, if you need 20 wins
you may want to call this at 10 wins to show that the user has made it halfway.</li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">Whenever one or more achievements are unlocked, call ISteamUserStats::SetAchievement for each unlocked achievement and then ISteamUserStats::StoreStats to immediately upload them.
Your game will see a ISteamUserStats::UserStatsStored_t callback, plus one ISteamUserStats::UserAchievementStored_t callback for each unlocked achievement. The Steam Game Overlay will display a notification panel to the user.</li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It <i>does</i> appear that you could use these stats to persist between saves, but we could do that already anyway, and I think a major goal is to be portable, even if the user doesn’t have Steam, so I think it makes more sense to keep
track ourselves. If the stats are visible in Steam (which, if they are, then I’m not sure where), the we might want to try and sync them, but that’s a bigger deal, and maybe something we do later.</p>

Part of me wants to not handle it at all and let game creators do that themselves (if or when custom IO is a thing), but it also wouldn't be

The tag_updates function is the place to put hooks for when a tag changes.<br>
<br>
> A game may wish to expose the current progress at intervals ("defeat 100 goblins: 20/100") to motivate the player to continue progresing the achievement.<br>
<br>
If achievements are displayed through steam, how does this work? You<br>
can cause Steam to popup a progress notification with text of your<br>
choice? Or does it have to be numerical, or predefined in Steam's<br>
achievement editor?<br>
<br>
What about achievements that can be progressed towards in separate<br>
saved games? The example you put on the wiki of finding all the ways<br>
to die is one where progress needs to be shared rather than<br>
save-specific.<br>

Creating an editor for RELOAD-based data is not yet simple, but I'm<br>
going to make a start on generalising the Purchases editor (most<br>

Pleased that documentation already exists on the wiki, documenting<br>
