Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid. I also co-founded the Behemoth; we made Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Yoink!

Goldfish has hooked me up with a tool that lets me set up Medals on NG. Eventually YOU GUYS will have tools for doing this directly, but for now I wanted to help anyone who is making a game for Pico Day, or has a cool idea for a medal that could go in their Pico Day movie... Think about secret interactive elements, like easter eggs.
The IMPORTANT THING is that this will still take some implementation work on your end. If you haven't been able to get Flash Ads working, then you probably won't be able to get this working either... You don't need a lot of actionscript skill but you need to be familiar enough to make sense of it.
Also, I'm worried about getting flooded, so please only contact me if you are making something you've put some serious work into. :)
You can give out as many as 500 points if it's a FULL GAME, 250 points for a mini game, and 50 for movies. There are specific point values you can award per medal:
5 pts - Easiest
10 pts
25 pts
50 pts
100 pts - Hardest
Allocate them however you see fit. What we need from you is:
1) A 50x50 icon for each medal
2) A short name for each medal.
3) A short description for each medal.
4) Visit this page and set up an API entry for your game.
5) Email me with all this info, include your USER NAME and the SUBMISSION NAME you entered for the API entry!
I will put your info in the system and then email you with further instructions to implement the medals. You can email the above materials to tom AT newgrounds DOT com!
