Just wondering if this is in the works, or if you guys are even planning on it yet.

I think one of the big things that would improve this site, given all the exclusives Armor Games gets would be for you guys to create a unified acheivement system for flash games to use that would link up with the Armor Games account. This would allow for a much more powerful save feature for games to implement, Another reason for people to go with your site (so they can implement AG acheivements) as well as the abilitie for games to link between eachother such as sequelse or expanded content for games already released.

Don't be surprised when this topic gets mobbed by "that's copying kongregate!"

I like the idea, but then... yea.

What??


Please be a bit more detailed.One word posts are considered spam. Tell us why you don't understand.

Though, personally, when I read that post, I didn't understand it at all until I read other people's post. You want to make something like the Kongregate badges and scoreboard? That would be great, but as suggested here before, people would keep coming to the moderators saying that we're copying from Kongregate, and we don't want people to hate Armorgames, do we?

To me that would seem a bit desperate of AG to have a system similar to kongregate.

^ Not really... It is only an achievement system.

I do like the idea of achievements for games, I think that would get more people active playing the games. I guess it would take visitors away from the forum but after all AG is a gaming site.

and Kongregate copied Windows, which copied Steam which copied.... etc

Its pretty much a standard now, and I think its something they should probably consider, as it inherently encourages retention.

One of the more recent achievement threads.

The reason why it was locked

and there you go. Hooray for the good type of backseat modding.

You know, I think it would be cool if we made something almost exactly lie it, but different in a unified way?

Maybe you earn armor every level in a game?
