Community Catalog vs. Showcase
Each game on LudoLog can have two public achievement areas:
Community Catalog — The full list of published achievements created by players.
Showcase — A smaller curated list selected from the Community Catalog.
Both areas help in different ways.
Community Catalog
The Community Catalog is where public achievement ideas go first.
It can include:
- simple goals
- hard challenges
- niche ideas
- funny achievements
- rough ideas that need feedback
- achievements for experienced players
Players can browse catalog achievements, try them, upvote strong ones, give feedback through downvotes, or report problems.
The catalog gives ideas room to exist before they are polished.
Use it when you want more options for a game or want to see what other players are creating.
Showcase
The Showcase is the curated achievement list for a game.
It gives players a cleaner starting point than the full catalog.
A good Showcase usually includes a balanced mix:
- easy first goals
- strategy challenges
- harder restrictions
- rare but trackable goals
- achievements that fit the game well
Showcase achievements also support title progression for that game.
Use the Showcase when you want a focused set of achievements without browsing the full catalog.
Why both areas exist
The Community Catalog can stay open and broad.
The Showcase should stay small enough to be useful.
Keeping them separate lets players suggest and test many ideas without making the main achievement list harder to use.
A strange or niche achievement can still belong in the catalog.
A Showcase achievement needs broader value. It should be clear, playable, and useful as part of the curated set for that game.
How achievements reach the Showcase
A public achievement starts in the Community Catalog.
From there, players can try it and give feedback.
Curators can use that feedback when building or adjusting the Showcase.
A strong Showcase candidate is usually:
- clear
- easy to check
- tied to the game’s mechanics
- useful for many players
- free of private context
- suitable for the game’s progression track
Some good achievements may stay in the catalog because they are too niche, too advanced, or mainly useful for specific groups.
What if a game has no Showcase?
The game may still have achievements in the Community Catalog.
You can browse them, try them, upvote good ones, or give feedback when something needs work.
A missing Showcase only means no curated list has been set yet.
What if a game has no achievements?
Then the catalog has not started yet.
You can suggest the first achievement.
Keep it clear, specific, and easy to check.
Which one should I use?
Start with the Showcase when you want a simple first achievement for a game.
Use the Community Catalog when you want more ideas or want to help improve what other players have created.
Suggest an achievement when you have a goal that other players might understand and want to try.
