Reviews for Newgrounds Medals

[sixflab]

Great Idea

-It's really nice that you took the time to create this. There is the medal games page(which you were kind enough to also link to) but it's very tedious to have to go to every page to see the medals for each respective game.

-I think the most useful thing that you included was how exactly to put medals into your games that you make since this question gets asked often since the medal system is still new and in beta. But having it in beta also comes with it's share of problems which you pointed out how many problems there still are and have yet to be mended and fixed properly.

-While this is a useful thing and it was a great idea after a little over a month it is already outdated since it's difficult to code a submission that updates according to every new game that comes out. Eventually having a much improved sequel would be a great thing to do in the future when some things get fixed with the medal system.

Useful

A very decent flash that sheds some light on the big secret "how to put medals in a game", nice work on that feature.

But there are still some options missing. I think an option to turn off the music would be very nice, as it gets pretty annoying when I read through the "more infos" section as it continues to play over and over again.
More songs to chose from would also be nice.

Also I think you should have used a different font. The current font is sometimes very hard to read (especially the 'v' looks very weird).

Finally, I think you have to improve your english skills a bit. I know, this is easier said than done and I don't want to sound "rude" here. Enligsh is a foreign language for me as well, so I know it can be a very tough language to learn from time to time. But I think BECAUSE english isn't my native language I had more trouble to understand what you wanted to express than a native speaker.

Concise

A good little guide, showing people that there is more to Newgrounds Medals that truly meets the eye. I particularly liked the tutorial which discussed a little about how to make the medals - it I were a game developer, I'd now understand how these things were put together.

The interface is pretty good, but I still think that you need to get yourself some more features here. I know that it's going on about how the current game of the moment has Medals, but even though we're less than a full month from the flash, that seems dated, with newer flash having superseded it. Perhaps other features would distract from this?

Excellent!

This tutorial about medals from Newgrounds is really informative and interesting. By this one, I removed several doubts from how put it, or with who exactly I can talk, I think I really need to thank you by this tutorial.

~ Concept ~
The concept is really good in some ways. Like, is all based upon Newgrounds system, but is not so creative, but in my opnion, this can't bee so necessary, like is "Newgrounds Medals" so, you need to put something from the site on it and you did a great job.

~ Information ~
The information displayed on this tutorial, as I said is really good. I bet that someone who was asking for everyone how put medals, and how use it, I have sure that they released all their doubts about it. And is really interesting put some games that are hard, so people can challenge with you.

~About~
One thing that I really liked on this, is that, you update for each medal you get, so you can inform people all the time, without wait for they look in your profile, and you did a nice job with the scroller. Hehe the most impressive is that when loads your page of medals, the internet scroller stay really small.

~Overall~
This was a great tutorial, with several informations, nice job, keep the great work on this. I give to you a 8 score and vote 5.
