We all know about the new medal system that was recently installed. It is still in beta, but it is most likely here to stay. Medals have been added to a few games that came out before the medal system such as Pico's School, Madness Regent, and Castle Crashing the Beard. Hopefully, all our favorite games will be receiving a makeover in the near future. But the authors of our favorite games are very busy with new projects, so they may not have the time to think up and add medals to their hit games. So, with this in mind, I thought that we could help the authors of our favorite games a little bit by suggesting possible medals for their awesome games.
Simply put, suggest medals for your favorite games on NG. Put as much info as you can, like a title, description of the medal, possible point value and maybe even a description of an icon for the medal. It's okay if you can't think of a title or icon, but try to provide as thorough a description of your idea as possible.
There are a few guidelines for the medals, as Tom stated in his news post on April 23.
The point values are 5 for the easiest achievements, 10, 25, 50 and 100 for the hardest achievements. Full games can have up to 500 points total, minigames can have up to 250 points, and movies can have 50. (Please refrain from suggesting medals for movies, unless you have a unique idea. Most will be just "find the easter egg" or "watch the credits".)
Try to make the achievements challenging but not impossible. Also, try to include a range of achievements, including some easier ones and some harder ones. Try to throw in a few secret achievements, too.
One of my favorite games is Newgrounds Rumble. I expect that most of you know it, so I'll skip the review of the game. If you have not played NGR, I highly recommend that you do.
Medal #1: College Boy(or some other school related pun, maybe a boot camp joke)
Complete the Training Mode.
The icon could be a diploma.
5 points
Medal #2: Stay 'til the lights
Read the credits. (This would be better for a movie, but game developers need attention too.)
The icon could be a movie screen with the words "THE END".
5 points
Medal #3
Win a match without using a powerup.
10 points
Medal #4: Pacifist
Win a match without dealing damage.
10 points
Medal #5 (Something that has to do with having friends like "I got a posse", just not so lame)
Play Collab Mode
10 points
Medal #6 Master of Unlocking (idk...)
Unlock all unlockables
The only icon I can imagine would be an open lock. How original.
25 points
Medal #7: Ching-ching (Or something having to do with money. Preferably funnier, and not so lame)
Get a certain level of Grounds Gold. What would be a good amount? I'm think 10,000 is good.
Maybe you should only be able to get this after Medal #6.
25 points
Medal #8: Can't Touch This! (I know how corny it is. I apologize.)
Get three consecutive parries with Hank
25 points
Medal #9
Get an enemy to fall 3 off-screen (or 5, I don't know which is better) times in one match
Does not have to be the same enemy; you could get each of three opponents to fall once.
25 points
Medal #10: Pyrrhic Victory
Pass judgment, but die in the process.
The icon could maybe be a bloody Pico face with a crown, showing that in his triumph he died.
25 points
Medal #11: Juggler (Maybe...I'd be glad to hear a better name.)
Perform a juggle of a certain length. I don't know what would be a good juggle, but I'd guess 15 hits.
25 points
Medal #12: Serial Killer
Get a certain number of kills in Survival Mode. I don't have a good idea, maybe 10? It depends on if you can get the medal on Sissy level.
The icon could be a skull, or pile of bones/body parts, representing your victims.
25 points
Medal #13
Complete each character's Story Mode on Sissy level
25 points
Medal#14
Complete each character's Story Mode on Normal level
50 points
Medal#15: King of the Portal
Complete each character's Story Mode on OMFG level
Maybe the icon should be a crown or a throne. Or the Level 60 icon. Or maybe a Tank Award.
100 points
Medal#16
Complete all of the challenges
No, this one should have the Tank Award.
50 points
Secret Medals
Medal #17: Take a dive or Klutz (or something else that mocks clumsiness)
Fall off-screen. (Maybe this should have to happen multiple times in one match.)
The icon I envision is Tankman having a faceplant in the Wartorn arena.
5 points
Medal #18: Fresh Start
Delete your game data and start a new game.
5 points
There are at least two easter eggs in NGR. If you know about them, or if you know of more, please don't ruin it for those have not found them. (If there are more, please PM me. Thanks.) Finding each easter egg should be worth 10 points.
By my count, that is 18 medals, without the easter egg medals, totaling 460 points. How do you think I did? Do you have any comments on my suggestions; something I missed perhaps? Are there any games that you would like to see with medals? Please post any of your ideas here. Thank you for reading this massive post, and hopefully, for contributing. Bye.
PS. I know that there are a bunch of threads about the medal system on the BBS. I searched and read them, but I didn't think that any were what I am trying to do here. If I am mistaken, please inform me, lock this thread, and direct me to the proper thread. I have spent a long time writing this post. I mean an obscene amount of time. So everyone, especially the mods: please be nice. ;) Thank you.
