I have been thinking. Whenever I complete a game I get something like this ''Well done , you have just beaten the game!'' Well ofcourse, the game was fun.. but I was expecting something more. Like something to show off to my friends. ''Hey look, I have completed this game on Hard difficulty, look at my ArmorGoal!''
People LIKE to achieve things, bringing a Achievement thing on this site will bring a lot more people and better reviews. (Because people will actually PLAY the game)
1 Point = Easy 5 Points = Medium 10 Points = Hard
Here is one example for a game with ArmorGoals
~Crush the Castle~ (one of my favorite games)
The Princess is in a different castle! Crush the first castle [1P] Castle Destroyer Complete the game [5P]
The points that you get from the badges should be called AGP or something. (This should have his own ranking aswell).
All the games on the site should ATLEAST have a ArmorGoal. (Or 5+ rating) Making it worth to play all the games. If the game has a bad rating it shouldn't have a ArmorGoal that takes much time though.
ArmorGoals should be rewarded for playing games in different ways aswell. It's not just about completing a game or a level, but finding items count aswell.
For example
A Small Favor
Mission FailedFail the mission
People will know that there is a way of failing the game then, people will try out different ways, and have more fun.
Other examples :
Find the hidden course Complete level 5 within 2 minutes Get your character to level 40 Complete all quests
Your ideas are good, but are too miniclip-like. Armor games can't be the same as the other flash game websites. SOme games have tasks and the game itself gives some awards, so I don't think that is very important having achievements/goals/whatever.
tristan your idea has been more well though out rather than the other ones sprung up. and yours caused more responses, I actually thought about this one. but still hackers :/ they would get points for free so easily.
When developers create a flash game, do they make it so that people can enjoy it and have fun doing it, or did they create it for people to get awards from it?
This is what I hate about Kongregate (apart from the fact that it doesn't have an awesome Art Section!), the games have badges that you can get and you have to play the games heaps to get them all or to get lots. Flash games are made for fun, not for showing how good you are to everyone else.
