Hey everyone,

Here's a sticky thread to put achievement-based ideas and discussion.

Our plan is to engage game developers to send us periodic information about your game play, such as how many castles you've toppled in Crush the Castle, or how many times your dinosaur jumped in Treadmillasaurus Rex, etc. and that these pieces of information would accumulate to award you 'achievements' on AG3.

We're actively designing and building the achievement system right now, so as we have information, we'll share it here, but we're welcome to listen to ideas and feedback along the way.

SilverGecko, if you'd read the entire thread, you'd have seen that we're going to award "legacy" Achievements (with no points) based on your current AG2 rank, but moving forward, AG3's Achievements will only be game-based, and those Achievements will be how you gain points.

Do you think it's possible that some achievements don't give points?

Valboss, I've already said that the "legacy" Achievements won't grant points, but all others will.

Of course achievements would be a great add-on to armorgames! It would invite competitive people to play more and get better hiscores.

I think game developers deserve a lot more AP. Seriously increase the amount of AP for submitting a game. We need to appreciate their hard work more. And first forum post btw!

Well, plus it'll be the only way to gain points.

Well, I'm not sure how we're handling points-for-games in AG3. It's never come up. Still, that's not an Achievement topic, so that's as much as we'll discuss it here.

As we've already said, it will be up to the game developer to create their own achievements to unlock on the site.

I imagine they'll be somewhere on your profile. Or there'll be a tab somewhere on your profile where it shows all your achievements.

I was thinking, what about achievements for games that are armor games achievements, not just in games.

What do you mean by that?

Well when you click my armory, there's a tab that says achievements, although you can't click on it yet, so maybe a few will be on the profile, but that tab will be there for your friends to click on too maybe?

This seems like a nice feature. I like the competition of achievements and I enjoy the challenge as well.

I didn't say where will it be shown I said how...

...EXAMPLE: Little achievment shields which you hover your mouse on giving you a description of how you earnt it.

So I'll ask again, how will the achievments be shown in the achievment section? How will it look?

I know to start we're showing them on the game play page under the game. I'm not sure yet how we're going to show them on your profile. And yes, ArmorL3gend, I believe they'll have some sort of tooltip pop-up or description of what you did to earn it.

Personally, I like Steam's approach where you can see a list of the person's games and the achievements for each, eg, my Civ 5 achievements page

I don't know exactly how the Achievements page will be laid out, but we'll probably group it per game, and only show the games you've earned Achievements for. (we won't list every game, just the ones where you've started earning Achievements)

This seems like a nice feature. I like the competition of achievements and I enjoy the challenge as well.


It will also be the competition of points, since community involvement (forums, comments, etc) won't award points any more.

How will the issue of hackers be addressed? Because I'm assuming that a few of these achievements will be based upon the final score, or how long it took to beat the game or a level, which is a problem even now when high scores aren't worth anything.
