Portal Defenders

[Luis]

The fixes mentioned are working and the achievements feature works now (if youre logged in) :3

Thank you bob.

[Techno]

Looks sexy.

Who needs xbox 360 when you got NG achievements?

[Porkchop]

Oh. Wait.
I get it now. Ignore my comment on your page, lol

[Ehwaz003]

I think I'm selling my Xbox360, these NG achievements are SO much better! *drools*

Thank you Bob
I'm not worthy!!! (bows)

You guys should think about adding another stat for submissions that tie in with an achievements system. Basically the same thing as the XBL achievement system for individual profiles. Would be cool and would encourage game makers to be more creative with making their games.

But it could possibly be abused by someone that just makes a game so easy to get a lot of achievement points...but on the other hand there could be some sort of moderation by admins for it.

This game is sooo fun!

yeah i agree... this was a last minute addition to this particular game.. so its naturally a little scruffy and crude. When its spread out to the rest of the gang it should have more advanced featurez in your tank

[cast]

Thats pretty nifty. :o

[Heinrich]

Haha, I knew something nice would be implanted with the glitches about an hour ago and all. I'm giving this a try!

[BlueHippo]

Oh so that's what you meant, cool. Zerok and I were wondering. Is there any way you can make it so it's like the game, and has an 'x' for the award before you unlock it?

Great game Luis *slurp slurp*

[Zerok]

And NG evolves just a little further.

I am excited about this. =)

[doctorjmcgee]

This game is awesome. Hope it gets weekly feature cuz it's good. The achievements when you beat the bosses feel deserving as if I did it on xbox.

[ForNoReason]

This made my jaw drop! great job guys. You are gods among men.

[Shreddy]

awesome new feature :D

[Toukeman]

The start of the next generation of games on NG. This is cool shit here.
The only thing that could make it better is to show the achievements on our userpages.

*Goes to play Portal Defenders again*

Holy shit you're not even lying.

Will normal game authors be able to do the same thing in the future? (Making their own)

Given how well received this has been? Almost certainly.

[Gagsy]

Fantastic game. Deserves the number one spot when it happens.

[Twilight96]

Dude, MindChamber keeps raping me. I do the little "lure them into the target" but the Waterlollies guy keeps sodomizing my character (Dan). Very addicting, I've played it about 30+ times and still can't beat MindChamber.

[Sir-Nuts]

Great new feature! I really liked it, hope to see more games with the "achievements".

But I have a little question...

What's up with the "Worth X points" thing? What is it for?

I PM'd Tom and he said that the achievement feature will be available to all developer soon, so we can all put achievements in our old and new games :D

Portal Defenders is a great game if you want to get beaten up repeatedly ;) but yeah, I'll beat the game and get all the achievements some day.

Eventual stat-whore prospect, no doubt.

With possible ranks? Nothing like ranks to fuel point getting.

[ThoseSneakyFrench]

Probably already a known bug, but worth a mention, the formatting on the sides get messed up when I mouse over the achievements.

I do hope they make a work around so that we avoid point-farm games, if you know what I mean. Something as simple as a batting average quality cap or something.

Coordinating achievements with UJ games might be tricky as well... which would be another reason to implement a quality control element.

[Shreddy]

i just realised this is what tom was talking about when he said there was a new minifeature being released

Some other things do that as well on the site. When reporting things like that, be sure to state what browser and version you are using to help fix the problem the best they can :)

Yeah, the first thing I thought when I found out was of someone making a spam flash where it gives all of the achievements at the start on one frame or whatever. I reckon they should do a similar system to the NG ADS, where staff assess the submission to see if it is legitimate before approving it.

Yea, so bob has been working like a madman to get the feature to show up today.. it originally wasnt supposed to until late next month.. so if you see bugs its because its like literally being built and things being shuffled and sorted on the fly.. i think the voting system was temporarily messed up styling wise .. so yea that page will have its issues more likely than not.. its just part of the danger of being the labrat. so...

The whole achievement thing is cool!
I think tthere should be games on Newgrounds with achievements like this and NGers should have like a gamerscore but a.... New..ground...score? no. idunno what you'd call it but it'd be cool
