Irrational Games Achievements

Hi all,

Love the achievements that Irrational Games has on their site, but not sure how they’ve done it:
http://irrationalgames.com/community/achievements/

Is it a custom build? Or based off an existing plugin?

The closest I can find is Paul Gibbs’ Achievements plugin:

(Nice job by the way, Paul – can’t wait for V2!)

Anyone have any insight into how to implement something like this?

Definitely customized. They’re using BP 1.1.3.

This just goes to show what you can do with imagination and theme customization!

Thanks Ben
Irrational Games’ Achievements is a custom build; I spoke with one of their team when they launched their site a few months ago.

I’ve been debating the idea of creating a plugin with http://www.bigdoor.com/ to do achievements, levels etc. I haven’t completely though through the pros and cons of using an API like this versus an self contained open source plugin like the achievements one mentioned.

@techguy BigDoor looks awesome, but it’s still in Beta. I’m doing a custom build for a client’s achievements and medals, with cubepoints backing the point mechanic.

The big con for me is that bigdoor’s API access costs money after a certain point, and if the site becomes huge, that could be a cost sink for the client. I would do it for a smaller or personal site, or one where the money incentive is BIG.
