Just to be sure. What happens if someone earns a trophy/achievement within the game, can they see their own trophies anywhere, or do I need to implement something for that?

Likewise, what would be really nice would be if you could have friends and compare trophies with them.

People can see the trophies they've gotten in their profiles, and on the game pages. You only have to implement something in-game if you want to.

And, yeah, the friends feature is planned and will be built out to supplement the trophies. I'm going to try to make it a sort of battle against your friends thing in the future.

Cool beans CROS. That'll be great to have a leaderboards system and the data storage too.

Should we post somewhere in this forum about games with trophies? I've completed development on one and UG will be adding the necessary code to the gmk very shortly. The game's on site at the moment without connection but with trophies displayed.

EDIT: It now has eight functional trophies. Made especially for them too - I'll certainly consider making some older games compatible though. http://gamejolt.com/freeware/games/platformer/la-rolloux/1282/

One question: Are non-beta-testers completely excluded from this beta, or can they win trophies but not implement them?

Not sure if this is a problem with the system or the game, but NAL I can't get the final trophy for "getting all previous 7," and I did get 'em all.

This seems pretty cool so far. One thing that would be helpful though is to be able to show/hide trophies. This would be useful for two reasons. First of all, when adding trophies to an existing game, you don't want the trophies showing up until after the developer has uploaded the new version supporting them. Secondly, it would be nice to have trophies for uncovering hidden content and secrets, but not spoiling those secrets by having the trophies name and description displayed before you've unlocked them.

I think that for every language/engine you make this for it should have the same API for convenience, so maybe add some guidelines or something for those of use who want to implement it.

Also, Id like to try to make one for C++..I'll just need to know what protocols your using for connecting to the trophies server

Wow, this sucks. I can't do the C++ version because apparently, you guys use different MD5 hashing algorithms

@WadeMcGillis , there are two problems you could be facing.

1) Sometimes when you generate an MD5 hash, it's less than 32 characters long. If this is the case, prepend some zeroes (0).

2) Your signature is wrong because you are just MD5ing the incorrect string.

EDIT: I've just played your test game and it seems to work fine. Have you fixed your issue?

Hey, just posting to let people know that I'm now a part of the beta! I'm planning to include some trophies in my pirate game Dubloon. Of course my bff Brod will help me out, right?

Well as the email told me I should post here to tell everyone I am now part of the closed beta, for now I have many other things to work on in my game but I am very interested in using the system in my game Your World when I have completed those other things.

hello everybody, i'm in to test Java Api :D i'll give you feedback soon as possible :D

Hey guys, just wanted everyone to know that I'm in.

im in guys

Hi everyone =D!

I've just gotten into the closed beta. I hope it turns out good enough for the public and that everyone loves it ;) So it attracts lots of people to the site.

Good luck with your games!

-Xura

I just gotten into beta as well. Testing out the construct plugin and hopefully finishing games using the achievements system. :)

Do you guys have any plans to support Unity in this? Im not in beta but wondering for after beta? Ive been picking up on unity and want to do more with it. Just Curious

We really want to, but no one's stepping up to the plate to help program the Unity component.

By the way, how are you not in the beta, but you're posting in the beta forum?

Idk, i think i sent email and never got a um.. email back or maybe i overlooked it. And i did see it pop up i thought it was a public thing lol. Well i guess i should pay more attention to email lol. I dont have much time to get on gamejolt cause i got college and stuff. And i pop in to play some games but cant make much since busy with school. Next week going on spring break from college and then next week after that spring break from highschool.. Dual credit is a pain

I'm in the beta now just so everyone knows.

I'm in the beta :D

We're in the beta now, Achievements ahoy!

I am in the beta as well. I am particularly interested in the online data storage, is this feature implemented yet?

Didn't even know I was in the beta.

Data storage is definitely implemented. Check your platforms API thread.

YEY now im beta :) thanks cros

OK - bit late compared to others but I'll try to implement some trophies for my current WIP to test the GM Library beta.

In the beta, going to try to implement trophies (and maybe some data storage- need to see what it can do first) into both of the games I have on this site, sometime soon!

Good to hear, Bill! The forums are here if you get stuck or need help.

I'm in! Achievements, here I come!
