It is a known issue, but its also been a year since it has been addressed with no positive progress. Anyway, I figured it deserved being mentioned here in case some new solution may be available to get them working again.

This is 100% true and has led me to bashing my fucking brains in on a brick wall. The game worked perfectly but was unpublished due to having copyrighted music. When that happened, I went and updated it in Flash CS3 (the original was made in Flash 8) and somehow the medals stopped working when exported from that version. And now that I've saved it in CS3, the file can't be opened in Flash 8 anymore.

In theory I could try to get a hold of CS4, 5, and 6 to see if ANY of those can export the project in a state where medals work, but it seems like a lot of trouble, especially when medals might completely break once Flash is discontinued.

Sorry for the ping, but I just came across this game and found this post. It seems like it would be fun to try to 100% so I was wondering if you've made any progress on the issue.

Unfortunately, no. Partly I've been busy with other things, and partly there's been a general lack of demand for the medals to be fixed. Considering Hungry Joe is still the largest project I've ever worked on, I'd love to republish it, but were that the case I would likely remake the entire thing for a new platform. Chances are the Flash version will stay as-is.

Everything from "Please Don't Kill Me" on to the right.

All of those work.

Perhaps unfortunately they didn't work for you at the time you played the game, but that's not how we define broken medals, even if you were cheated out of the medals.

Clear your cache and try again.

Some medals can be problematic or require several tries before they'll register, but if they still are awarding to others, then they don't count as broken according to the rules.

I recommend keeping a personal tally of unawarded medals. You can try again at a later date. I do so. It counts as a broken medal if it's not awarding to you after you've tried all the tricks to get problematic medals to award, and others are also no longer able to obtain the medal.

Also it's pretty common with brand spanking new games that they may have problems with the medals, so I'd recommend wait at least a few days to see if new game fixes by the author solve any of the medal problems with it, which they often do.

Just kidding.

Wipo just broght up a black screen. SITI brought up a webGL message. It says I should use Firefox... which is annoying because I am using Firefox. I get that occasionally. Probably the same error, just my computer's version of it. :\

The same error appears on all other websites this game is located on. I found an e-mail of the author and sent him a message about this.

I switched both of them. Can't test them much at the moment since I've gotta head out to work. Let me know if anything changes.

Update on the situation. I just found this thread by chance:
https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1435682

Once I get my old laptop back (I'm borrowing a friend's while it's being repaired) I'll see if I can save my game and republish it from Flash 8. That should fix the medals.

Is it just me or is the game just not loading at all? I tested it in Firefox and Chrome, but no dice. It would show the Stencyl loading screen for like a few seconds and then get a blank screen.

I do see the medals work as the last user to earn medals was about 2 hours ago.

You're right, it's doing the same thing for me. It definitely worked when I got the medals. Maybe a recent update broke it? @ZebraHumor

I just loaded it successfully in Chrome, but it has the pointed issue on Firefox. If you get a black screen (Chrome) just reload the tab.
Lemme know if the medals still work though. Looks like nobody unlocked them since yesterday.

Nope. Haven't updated since it was under judgement and it seemed to be working for everyone. I tried it just now and I got the black screen so I tried again and it worked. I will look into this matter and fix it if I possibly can.

I just checked with a test account and the medals are still working on Chrome.
1. Enter the game;
2. Get a black screen;
3. Reload the tab;
4. And then the game works as well as the medals.

deep castle has medals that won't work for anyone. it's a shame, because it's a really nice game, and that led to bad reviews.

In test mode, the game never does this. I updated the description to include that you may need to reload.

The weirdest part is that it works only on Chrome, but never on Firefox. I tried reloading even few times and constantly it reaches a certain point of loading and goes black.

I have experienced issues with those medals as well. Let's hope that they can be corrected soon.

There are other Halloween specific medals out there that may or may not be working anymore, so if you know of some more now would be a great day to test them.

I was never a fan of day specific medals. Having to wait 364 days for that one specific day, is a really poor idea. I know that many will disagree with me, but I am going to put it out there.

Nowadays I don't make a big deal about games with zero point medals as it's an ongoing issue, but I find this incredibly insulting as this hasn't been blammed nor deserves a place in the medals board.

Nope, still at zero. I don't know if it's worth bothering to PM the author of the game if he's going to act like a moron with his comments.

• Unpublished Submission

Medals should probably just be removed from this game since it's been broken for just about everybody, from a very long time ago and never been fixed.

Some of the earliest comments on the game are about how it's broken and won't load or crashes people's browsers or various error messages and I can confirm that is still the case, at least with the error messages rather than the game loading.

It's possible the people who have medals got them on an earlier version of the game.

This has been broken since way before the HTTP/HTTPS issues, so it's definitely not that.

Game should probably just be removed if the author's not gonna fix it. And considering how old this is I don't think there's good chances they're gonna fix it.

I agree that this game should just be removed. I remember the medals not working at all.

That is probably what happened.

This game should be removed. If the author ever bothers to correct it, it can be resubmitted at that time.

Game and all medals should be removed on account of who can even get the thing to load?

Note the problems are from the start and game author, rather than address the issues, took the extremely immature option of berating anyone bringing up the problems with his game.

I tried different browsers and the game would not load. The game and medals should all be removed. It can always be returned when it actually works.

Yes, the Author should be more helpful and mature.

I was one of the last people to get medals on this game back in 2017, which could indicate that its an https type problem. It would make sense to try that angle before wiping all the medals.

It could be tried but I'm doubtful it'll work. Specifically because people have had problems with this game from the very start, though apparently a very few people, yourself among them, had managed to get the medals at some point in time. I do remember this game never working any time I've ever tried it (including years ago) and it still doesn't work -- you at best get to the title screen and can't proceed from there.

I don't know how you got the game to work, but can you still get it to work?

Peruse the reviews of the game itself though. Lots of problems and a very immature behavior from the game author in his responses to reviews which brought up problems with the game loading, for example his response to the very first review of the game, where that person had encountered similar problems to the exact scenario we find today. That isn't the sort of game author I would expect to fix anything.

But I guess setting to HTTP could be tried, but I'm doubtful it'll work and the game should have been blammed from day one, especially with the game author's lousy attitude.

Well, it worked, thanks @Exedor :-)

I personally never had any problems with that author, my discussions with him were always friendly and constructive.

I'm genuinely surprised that worked but it did! Game and medals can stay.

Well I don't know the game author personally, but look how when someone reviewed the game stating they couldn't get the game to load, how the game author retorted back with a personal attack on that person, mocking their artwork or whatever, which had absolutely zero to do with the game or anything and was completely uncalled for.

It's not that difficult to see how people interact with others and make a judgment on their character that way.
