Site history
SteamStats
As long as the old SteamStats was around, we had not a single reason to start a platform on our own. Layout of the site and rating of the achievements were just perfect, until it was replaced with the new SteamStats. There was now a mandatory login and we missed the usual design. The point values were too inflationary, just like the other alternative sites, too. For the first time ever the wish matured to do something on our own, but without the original algorithm our hands were tied. We noticed in the reddit board of the new SteamStats an algorithm coming pretty close to the old one – if not even matching it. Some tests confirmed this and the work could start in the middle of December 2011!
Version 0.1
The first steps were about the technical base, i.e. getting raw data from Steam, storing it in our database and displaying it. There was no design yet, not even pictures.
Version 0.2
Still moving on a very technical level the view for single achievements, the reporting system, game list with DLCs and profile view with achievements were added as well as the storing of images. In case of a Steam downtime, AchStats incl. all the images should continue to operate fully functional.
Version 0.5
The design was created and the DLC integration was making progress. The point algorithm slowly bore fruit.
Version 0.6
There were bigger additions, like manual language selection, more rankings or statistics, and smaller ones, like sorting within the browser or links to Steam.
Version 0.9
Being on the home stretch in February 2012 DLCs in the game list were unfoldable, the home page was finalized and the global player ranking was put into service.
