2 badges the last 4 weeks. I lost track a bit, what is Greg’s current excuse as to why there are no new badges and what prevents him from updating this thread (e.g. first post)? “Busy with other stuff” or “Was on vacation” or “Sorry was sick”?

Much of the recent slowness is Greg being unable to figure out how to badge Cavarneer 2 (and finally giving up on it). Current gap seems to be nobody forcing him to choose a next game to badge. Also possibly Christmas.

It’s been… months since I last asked about these two things: 1. **Mobile badges?** Especially now that Kong is pushing out more and more mobile games? 2. **That 5-minute game quest you mentioned about?** Y’know, Caesar’s Day Off, Relive Your Life etc.

That quest sounds cool. Also, I’m pretty sure I already completed it

Holiday-related laziness? It takes much more time to badge older games than new ones, and there haven’t been a whole lot of new ones lately. But I am at the point now of digging through older stuff. [Shattered Colony: The Survivors](http://www.kongregate.com/games/duerig/shattered-colony-the-survivors) seems to have a working API implementation, so I’m going to prod around with that one a bit more. [Infectonator: Christmas Edition](http://www.kongregate.com/games/TogeProductions/infectonator-christmas-edition) had a working API at one point, but it seems to have broken. I sent Toge Productions an email about this and told them I’d add badges to it next week if they can fix the API. Also, [Shop Heroes](http://www.kongregate.com/games/cloudcade/shop-heroes) is the next multiplayer game getting badges. I updated the original thread with all this stuff. I know there’s been some slacking lately, but I hope this update is satisfactory! > *Originally posted by **[Bluji](/forums/1/topics/380539?page=190#posts-9985260):*** > > It’s been… months since I last asked about these two things: > > 1. **Mobile badges?** Especially now that Kong is pushing out more and more mobile games? > > 2. **That 5-minute game quest you mentioned about?** Y’know, Caesar’s Day Off, Relive Your Life etc. 1.

As I went back some tens of pages to find the original discussion on that 5-min quest, I ran into [this post](http://www.kongregate.com/forums/1/topics/380539?page=154#posts-9411149) by Precarious that contains **a (short) list of older games with both the rating and the working API needed for badges**. Definitely worth taking a look into.

u should badge all of the games ABOUT CROWS and then make a CROW quest :\>\>\>\>\>\>

Reckless Speed doesn’t load for me, bc it was made using an older Unity version.

Thanks for the heads-up, Thok! * * * > *Originally posted by **[greg](/forums/1/topics/380539?page=190#posts-9987985):*** > > *Originally posted by **[eProdigy](/forums/1/topics/380539?page=189#posts-9962797):*** > > > > [Reckless Speed](http://www.kongregate.com/games/ChaoticHeartLD/reckless-speed) has a 3.8 rating and API.

I am kind of surprised that Unity games keep getting badged or even proposed to be badged, now that in less than a year EVERY browser (with any sort of significant market share, including Firefox this time around) is going to cease support of NPAPI and thus also Unity. In short that multip(l)ayer badge will knowingly only be there for under a year. That seems to be the trend with mp games these days though, so if it’s because the dev shut down servers or the game becomes unplayable doesn’t make that much difference aside from the fact that you have a definitive time frame beforehand now. Badging a single player game using unityplayer where you are certain the badge will be ‘broken’ within a year seems folly, and that’s not even looking at whether the game actually works or not.

Badge Ringside Hero. Fun little game.

I’m thinking about an easy badge for 200k score in classic mode in [Starlight Xmas](http://www.kongregate.com/games/zedarus/starlight-xmas). We need some more Christmas cheer this year.

Don’t you think that you need to badge [Submachine 10:the Exit](http://www.kongregate.com/games/MateuszSkutnik/submachine-10-the-exit) too since we finally got a new game with 4.0 rating?

Pretty much this.

We need some more Christmas cheer this year. I’d suggest simply classic mode completion if there’s a stat for that.

Unfortunately there isn’t, but there is in [Starlight 2](http://www.kongregate.com/games/zedarus/starlight-2). I might put badges in that one too.

I might put badges in that one too. Please do. At first I didn’t get it. But then it became really fun. However starlight 2 classic mode might be too long for an easy so a medium would work. I suggest Guiding Lights as a name. Or… “Let it guide you” one of the top comments. Interstellar artist. “Look at the sky” Art of the cosmos.

The name “[The Stars Are Projectors](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcUB0ouw7-E)” popped into my head for the Starlight badge, and I can’t get it out. It’s honestly probably too obscure a reference to be a great badge name, but I don’t think I’m going to be able to think of anything else with that already in my brainspace.

Thanks greg. It’s nice t see something is going to happen in few days. Keep the hard work friend! :)
