Well I have some unfortunate news…Spirits will be delayed from the original October 9th date. Don’t worry, it’s a week, two at most, and it’ll allow me to add an extra gameplay type as well as tighten up a few areas that need to be focused on a bit. I’ll announce a new release date once the private beta is rolling, which is later this week.

So, I thought I’d share the 40 Medals and Milestones that will be in the final game. These are like Trophies and Achievements in 360/PS3 games, except they unlock content within the game instead of being kinda useless and adding imaginary points/levels. Some things in the game require 20 medals/milestones to be unlocked, for example, so you can choose whichever 20 you think you can get to unlock it, instead of a more linear unlocking process. Woo!

The full list of awards are here:

Milestones
-Accumulate 20 total combos
-Accumulate 100 total combos
-Accumulate 1,000 total combos
-Accumulate over 200 seconds of bonus time
-Accumulate over 1,000,000 points
-Accumulate over 10,000,000 points
-Accumulate over 50,000,000 points
-Play for over 10 hours of accumulated time
-Seven Secret Milestones (unlisted…can you find all seven? Muhahaha!)
