Tasselfoot appeal

Hi. I have used SAM in a limited fashion across a handful of games, mostly to award bugged achievements that I earned but wasn't award. I'll do my best to list all games where this occurred, and my apologies if I miss any.

Discord: Tasselfoot#2465
Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198025026876
Games:

Of Bird and Cage - I believe there were at least 4 achievements in this game that did not award properly for me or were bugged at the time I played the game. Including: Crazy Driver, Code Master, Sharpshooter, and Apex Legend.

Arial Knight's Never Yield - The final achievement of the game, for earning all other achievements, was/is bugged and I awarded it to myself after months of waiting on the developer to fix it. Name is "Call me if you need me"

Lost in Random - An achievement for buying all cards in the game didn't unlock. I awarded it to myself. Name is "Card Collector"

The Ball - Awarded 4 achievements that didn't unlock when I played it. Very old game with no chance of devs fixing. Achievements: Enlightenment, Archeologist Supreme, Circus Clown, and Roll With The Punches.

Goetia - Game has 2 end-game achievements. One for "good" ending, one for "bad". I missed the bad one and couldn't go back. Awarded it to myself later instead of replaying the game. Name is "The fall of Blackwood".

Lumina - Beat the game achievement didn't award. Gave it to myself. Name is "Tomb Lighter"

Sonny - The R&D achievement didn't trigger. Awarded it to myself.

Arise: A Simple Story - The Gravity Master achievement was broken. I awarded it to myself. This looks like it was fixed in Jan 2022, after more than a year of being broken, which is great.

It's possible there are more, but I don't remember after looking through my spreadsheet. I am happy to remove all of these (and any others that I may have forgotten), but will wait for admin confirmation before doing so. Thanks.

Reading more, looks like I should lock these achievements.

I have done so, using SAR.

I then went back into Aerial Knight's Never Yield. The game received an update in the past few days, which finally fixed the broken achievement + added 3 new achievements. I re-loaded the game and was properly awarded the achievement + earned 2 of the 3 new achievements.

Thanks for the help getting back in good standing.

More notes, sorry.

Went and earned the 3rd new achievement in Aerial Knight's Never Yield.

Checked all games and none of them re-triggered. Except Arise... but, I think this should be ok? I did legit earn it, and the issue with the game was that it wasn't reporting properly to Steam API but it was properly reporting in-game... you can tell this is the case because the game has an achievement for "earning all achievements" and this still triggered properly, despite Gravity Master not triggering... and, then last month, the devs released a patch which fixed the achievement reporting issue... so now, it properly reports, and since I had done the achievement and the game knew I had done the achievement, loading the game correctly triggered it.

Hello! Checking in on the status of my appeal. Is there anything else that I need to do in order to get back into good standing? Thanks!
The site I use is exophase, if that matters.

Hi thanks for making an appeal, do recall playing these two games as well?

Yeah. I definitely used someone else's modified save file for the grindy achievements in QUBE... locked 18 achievements. I can't get the game to actually launch, so I can't confirm they don't re-award... but I also can't play the game, so they don't award.

And Love Is Dead... I work for the publisher of the game doing QA, and think I accessed an earlier build of the game in order to unlock the "unobtainable" achievement. Removed "Exotic Snacks". And, I do apologize for my role in releasing this game with broken achievements and also not getting them fixed... won't go into the details as to what happened, but it's unfortunate. Confirmed the achievement doesn't re-award upon load.

Thanks.

Hello again!

I replayed Goetia and earned that "bad ending" achievement legit.

Also wanted to check in if there was anything else I needed to do? It's been another month now, and I'd greatly appreciate being unbanned. Thank you!

Also, and this is long overdue... I removed Exotic Snacks from Love is Dead. So, that achievement no longer will prevent players from 100%ing the game.

Hi Tasselffoot,
thank you for your appeal to come clean.
All the mentioned achievements have been successfully appealed and re-locked.
There seems to be an issue with "Journey" on Steamhunters, any idea?
