In-Depth Information
The achievements usually have very simple plot: a few recognizable elements from
the game in a specific combination and a some large text. Because games are part
of entertainment, good sense of humor is always welcomed; for instance, the very
scary game
Ala n Wake
from
Remedy Entertainment
features very funny achieve-
ments, for instance, to discover some coffee thermoses and watch TV shows.
There are some clichés among the achievements: today very popular are various
trophycups,laurelwreaths,coins,goldmedals,andothersymbolsofvictory.There's
nothing wrong with such images other than that they are boring; therefore, always
try to push the limits of your imagination.
Each social gaming network has its own specification of images designed for the
achievement table. Gamecenter from Apple, for example, utilizes images in special
round frames, so the illustrations have to be properly centered to look nice.
