It'd be great to have a medal / achievement system on AG much like Newgrounds has. You'd get to compete against friends in games in a way that you normally could not do with flash games. Earn the most medal points!
This is really the biggest thing that Newgrounds has over Armorgames. If AG were to add medals, combined with the quality of content that it has it could get a huge number of visitors imho.
I was more thinking of earning points for performing certain feats inside a game, rather than the current point system.
Or perhaps synced to that as an additional point system.
Like, a game has 5 bosses and 100 gems to collect. You could earn 5 points for each boss you kill, and 1 point for every 20 gems you collected, plus a bonus for defeating or collecting all of them. Or so the system works in NG currently. Just check : http://www.newgrounds.com/game/gameswithmedals Some games have medals, some don't. Some medals are hidden, others are public and give you an idea of what tasks to perform inside the game. Most medals are already linked to achievements inside the game itself.
thats good, but i would say only a few games should do that. then a rediculous amount of points will be added if it's on every game. i think theyre still thinking on that, too
As long as the "armor points" are valued separately from the "game achievements" there should be no issues. It'd just be a different kind of currency / scoring system in which you can compete against other players for the most points / highest score.
The site could even keep track of the players with the highest scores in total.

Actually, the new Armor Points are for game achievements.
Yes, we're already planning an achievement system, which will require game developers to use our AGI library to send stats about the game, like "you got a million points" or "you got 50 head shots in a row" that sort of thing. We haven't discussed it much yet, because we're still planning it, but Larry's writing the design documentation last week and this week, so we're going to start building it soon. It's the last BIG piece of AG3.
I think that once you have earned the acheivement depending on how hard the achievement is thats how many ap you get.Allowing achievements on the new update will make us want to play games longer so we can achieve that"last"achievement
