A complete list would make fixing them all much easier.

That is true. Is there anyway to add that feature now?

It seems this game stopped working yesterday. Does it work for anyone else?

It gets to 74% and then stops, forever frozen on that 74% loading screen.

Even aside from that, Space tycoon medal is broken as it hasn't been awarded in years, yet was clearly the easiest medal in the game to obtain, presumably awarded merely for playing the game. More people have that medal than any other, yet after a certain point no more people were ever awarded that medal.

Nowadays you would have. It is an Armor Games-sponsored game and even if you check it on their website you will find out that you cannot enter the shop after finishing the first level:

It's not loading for me either, same problem.

Noted. I will try to reach the author, but even his VKontakte profile seems to be inactive for about a year already.
If it fails-looks like these "medals for generations" will have to vanish.

If I remember correctly the Space Manager game had to phone home somewhere other than Newgrounds in order for high scores to register. If that website is no longer loading or in existence that would explain why the game itself no longer loads.

I remember that it was actually working like this: loading up to 70-80%, temporarily pausing and then the game appeared fully loaded. It is possible that during that break the game was connecting to the external server that for some reason went down as you say. I also noticed few months ago that the whole score board was rebooted.

I'm part of the short list of people who was able to earn some of the more insane and time consuming medals, so losing them would be unfortunate.

For some reason it really would be sad. I still remember the planning: now earn x amount of Quids, use all the earnings on that type of upgrades etc.

Well, that's why I call them medals for generations:
If I won't earn them then my children will earn them.
And if my children won't get them then their children will get them.
And if their children won't unlock them then their children will surely succeed.
And if their children... ;-)

There were actually many more medals attached to this game, but as Fooliolo once calculated the time needed to earn some of them would exceed the whole lifetime ;-)

However, I'm much more interested in what becomes of his beta game called Space Conquerors.
http://www.newgrounds.com/projects/view/842229
It's a much more mature, detailed, and interesting game than Space Manager despite that fact that a lot of the dialogue hasn't been translated yet. It also has a whole mess of medals that would go live if the game ever gets uploaded to the portal. It would be a shame to see it wallow in development limbo forever.

I also checked this one and the author surely put lots of effort into this. But he sent me a link to it some 2-3 years ago, so I am worrying if he will ever submit it. I only noticed that there are much more medals added now and they are actually working.

Oh, as for the dialogues, I would have an advantage here: I learned to read Russian recently ;-)

Possibly needs the HTTP treatment. As-is the game simply will not load.

Since it says you compete against the ghosts of other players this makes me strongly suspect it's reliant on some external website and probably that cross-site communication must be HTTP.

HTTP conversion was all the game needed. It works fine now.

@CjElliott - please check the medals in this game, especially the higher ones. I just completed the 9th level twice, but the medal did not work. And it would be good if you could apply some mechanism that would remember unlocked medals, or would be re-checking them, for example if level 10 is unlocked then the medal for level 9 is being automatically sent if it is missing.

The medal for this game has never worked.

Doesn't look like the author is going to try and fix it anytime soon either. Might as well remove it.

Hmm, it should have helped, but it didn't. It seems to be a bigger problem: none of the other games from this author work.

Actually if you wait for a while the game unfreezes, so it is functional, but the medals are not being unlocked.
On the author's website there is a list of his games and a note: "feel free to contact me" but of course he didn't bother to include ANY form of contact...

It is toward the end of the month. Remember that if it's a nutcasenightmare game the medals won't work toward the end of the month but will work starting the beginning of the next month, but also it must be on HTTP.

So wait until next month and try again.

Didn't we discuss about this game like a year ago? It magically worked for me and I managed to get the medals for the 2 last worlds around September last year, even though I had always suffered the freezing problem like everyone else. Of course it wasn't just an http problem, there's something more. Maybe @NeonSpider is right and it works only the first days of the month? I don't actually remember the exact day that I played it till the end without issues. I do remember playing it TWICE without any freezing issue, until the third time the freezing returned and I was never again able to play it.

Edit: I just checked the medals and I see that I unlocked them both on September 17 (2017), so it's unlikely that the issue is what Neonspider says about the first days of the month.

I also remember, and this might be important, that when I didn't experience any freezing, when I returned to the menu I had lost ALL the progress and had to start from the first level again. Really weird, cause when I tried it (y'all can try it now) and experienced the freezing (and unfroze the game by switching tabs) it saved my progress even after refreshing the page. Really, really weird.

This one's all the way back from 2013. It's an online multiplayer game. You get "ERROR WHILE LOADING PLAYER DATA."

There's a very slight chance setting this to HTTP may work, but more likely the server for the game isn't even up anymore and so it's dead. Someone can try setting it to HTTP to see if that works though.

Changing to HTTP but you're probably right about it depending on a server.

I remember reporting this game few years ago, but I received an explanation. The medals work in it, but not "directly". From the very beginning to the end you need to play all levels not from "start"/"next level", but from the "level select" screen.
