GameJolt achievement plugin for RPG Maker MV
This plugin adds support for the GameJolt Achievement API to RPG Maker MV games. This API allows you to reward your players with online trophies and highscores that will show up on the GameJolt site and give your players EXP there. This is a great way to promote your game on GameJolt, as many people like games with trophies. Also, some players will play your game for longer as they want to get all trophies.
My aim is to make using this plugin as easy as possible, so that everybody can add online trophies and/or highscores to their games.
This plugin is still work in progress, but it's already useable. However, there may be bugs and some features will be added later.
Current features:
- Logging in to GameJolt. If the player is playing a web-based version on gamejolt.com, this will happen automatically. Otherwise, an easy-to-use login dialog will be shown.
- A button can be added to the main menu of the game to allow the user to log in and off.
- Sessions. This means you can see for how long your game is being played (by logged-in users). Also, a message will be shown on profiles of people that are playing your game.
- Trophies. You can easily give your players a trophy for doing something in-game. This will be displayed on the GameJolt site. The plugin also has support for showing basic trophy notifications. If a player is offline while reaching a trophy, the trophy will automatically be given the next time he/she is online.
- It's quite configurable. Please check out the help text for more information on what the different settings do.
Coming soon:
- Highscores.
- An example game.
- Possibly more if this is going to be used a bit. For example, I could add online save files or other data storage.
How to use:
Copy all files from the zip file and paste them into your plugin directory. Then enable the plugin and fill in the Game ID and Private Key in the plugin manager. They can be found on the dashboard page of your game on the GameJolt site. From the main dashboard page, go to the Game API tab. Then click on "API Settings" to the left. The Game ID and Private Key should be shown there. Copy them to the plugin parameters.
After you've entered these parameters, sessions will work automatically! You can use the following command to give a trophy:
GameJolt award trophy <id><id> is the ID of the trophy, which can be found on the Game API tab of your game dashboard on the "Trophies" tab after having added your trophy.

Credits would be appreciated, but they're not required. If you do want to credit me, please use my name "Florian van Strien". I'm fine with this plugin being used commercially, but you'd have to talk to the GameJolt people if they'd be okay with a commercial game using their web services if you want to do so.
