Is there any chance that the issues with medals not unlocking on this game could be solved by reverting it to http? There hasn't been an unlock for it since September of 2017.

If the medals stopped to unlock during September 2017 then it is a clear indicator that https is the reason.
@TomFulp @Exedor - it's worth a try to switch it.
On the other hand it would be important to see at least one developer making the medals broken this way work under https, this would give us the knowledge of what goes wrong.

Done. Give it a few minutes to update and then try it out.

Use to be up there, just simply disappeared. Haven't gotten an answer why the 3 medals are gone.

Also there's no trace of that Fidget Tycoon game that was posted about a month and a half ago. It looks like has been completely wiped out from Portal. That's about 10 medals that are gone too.

I remember this game, these medals were not working anymore, so they were removed.

As for this one... it looks like the author took all his toys and just left. I asked him about it few weeks ago and he mentioned that it should have been just a scheduled update and the games will come back, but as you see that never happened. He removed all of his Newgrounds projects.

Whenever the medal updates are heavy negative, it means the medals have vanished.

Losing 10 medals at once is a huge, but the 13 from both these games will really can people to notice.

Thanks, for for explaining what happened here.

It is good to see it return. There must of been some reason why it vanished the first time.

I remember this one. I tried to contact the author, but nothing has been done since the problem is rather caused by an external server that is probably down for good.

Since removing only few medals from a game should not break any stats I'll take a risk ;-)

As for Zomby Birdy there is no reason for that. Those 3 medals stopped working in 2016 - so long before switching the site to https. In this case it is not the reason. Besides, the game fails to connect to the custom levels server on all websites.

Windy still needs to be removed. Looks like the other custom levels medals were removed but that one was forgotten. Remove it also.

Looks like the medals have been broken for a long time. If they can't be fixed, than they should all be removed.

Well, I tried it several times and nothing unlocked, so I took those medals down.
By the way, @TomFulp - read it carefully: when I removed all medals from this game this is how the stats of one of the 2 users that had them unlocked started to look like - see below. Repairing stats fixed the problem, but obviously if there would be a need to remove all medals from a more popular game that solution would be impossible to use. It needs fixing.

By the way, one update and a call for information.

Yes. All of the medals that I mentioned in this very thread even. All of the medals that are mentioned by Kitsukage as not working in his review of the game (as of right now, the second review on the front page of the game).

Literally, those.

As for proof the walkthrough in the youtube video in the author comments of the game shows all those medals being unlocked, so you can do the exact same things shown in walkthrough and no medals.

The only unsure one is Rick Roll'd as it's not featured in the walkthrough. You'd have to ask one of the few people who even have that medal to retry getting that medal. Or else just go ahead and remove it as well as it's likely broken since so many others are.

About Flash Shadowgate: those medals that haven't been unlocked by anyone since 2013 are all broken, without exception. The author replied to one review saying that he'd fix them soon, but he never did, so they should be removed.

And btw, (I know this is off-topic but I want to say it) it'd be great if secret medals displayed their name again instead of '??????'. The name used to be the only hint, and a very useful one, for players to unlock secret medals. Now it's just pure luck.

@TomFulp - another "public demand" for you, I already wrote you about it few months ago ;-)

There actually is a way to see the titles of the secret medals, but not directly. They are still properly displayed on medal walls, so all you have to do is open a medal wall of anybody that earned at least one medal of a game. If you did it - you can check your own wall as well.

I've been saying this for quite a while and even made a thread about it quite some time ago.

I've been checking out the most recent pages in the gameswithmedals section and there are many games that have 0 points medals, most of them in the first page. I may have missed some, but here's a compilation of those I've found:

I haven't tried this game since it lags like hell in my computer, but almost all medals are 0 points.

For some of the recent ones I am still giving the authors the chance to fix things up, at least they are responding. If not, I will take them down as well.

As for Ultima Esperanza... I am not sure... I mean I got plans to learn Spanish, but currently I can't even figure out the controls in this game and it seems like the first medal has been unlocked several times, so some of the others may work as well. It would be needed for somebody to go further in this game to be absolutely sure.

The same is for Cosmos game, since it is a multiplayer game - I think? - it is possible that some of them are working, but nobody met the conditions to get them. In fact they look a bit complicated too get.

Nope, as HerbieG says medals don't work either. I've also encountered problems with some audios in the game, so it all seems to be bugs that the author (Munguia) would have to fix.

Well, I don't think they should be removed, they add a bit of emotion to medal hunting and sometimes they're medals that contain information (in the picture or description) that would spoil things about the game if they weren't secret. That's why, by showing the name, you're given a hint to unlock the medal without being spoiled or something.

I understand what you mean. However, it can be a huge waste of time to PM the Author, who often times will not reply, to figure out a secret medal. Especially, the ones that you can not earn during normal game play.
