| Trophies come in bronze, silver, gold, and platinum; the material corresponds to how easy or difficult they are to earn. You can give your trophies custom art and clever titles. You can make secret trophies that aren't completely revealed until they are won. You can keep trophies hidden to test them out. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
- Give guidelines on when you should choose bronze, silver, gold and platinum.
- Mention that gamers get experience from earning trophies. so we should explain that they get 5 exp for bronze, 10 for silver, 15 for gold and 20 for platinum. So devs should think about earning platinum as 4x as hard as earning a bronze trophy.
- Explain secret trophies more. You can mark your trophy as a secret trophy which hides the details of the trophy aside from the name and the difficulty level from the user until it is achieved.
- don't use secret trophies for all of your trophies but if you want to add in a bonus challenge, you can make it secret.
- Explain hidden state for trophies. The dev will still see the trophy but gamers will not. It's purpose is to make it easier for the developer to integrate it into their game. Don't forget to unhide!
- People add trophies without integrating w/ the API. Should mention that trophies are only meant for API purposes. "In order to use trophies, they need to be integrated into your game through the game code"
how about this:
Trophies
Trophies are intended for games that utilize the Game Jolt API (link to it). Once your game is integrated with the Game Jolt API, you can add different types of trophies, including customized and secret options for players to achieve while playing your game! Assign your trophies wisely since they offer Game Jolt EXP points to the player once achieved.
Types of Trophies
The material of the trophy corresponds to how easy or difficult they are to earn. Each type of trophy offers Game Jolt EXP points.
Bronze – 10 Game Jolt EXP - Easy
Silver – 15 Game Jolt EXP – Intermediate
Platinum – 20 Game Jolt EXP – Difficult (4x more challenging than Bronze)
Secret trophies are great as bonus challenges! Once a trophy is marked Secret, only the name and difficulty level will be shared with the users. All other details will stay a secret until it is achieved.
How to customize a trophy
While adding the trophy of your choice, upload a square image to customize its look. You can even give your trophies clever titles and descriptions!
Hide/Unhide a trophy
Test out your trophies while they are hidden, only you can see them! Select to hide or unhide an existing trophy by clicking on it from the Game API, Trophy tab. Or you can select to hide or unhide while adding the trophy for the first time.
