Devs, Would You Consider Posting Red Medals?

It would be cool to see actual developer times after you beat the game.

Give you another reason to give it another go.

I wish dev medals had a sound and animation too just like the rest. I didn't mind not knowing their times but at first seeing red medals confused me. And then I saw some weird stamp and I was never really sure if I got one or not until I really looked for it. This also made red medals feel less real because there was no that DING sound to stimulate my smooth brain.. :(

Well they're not real. They don't count for anything, they aren't required for 100%, nada. You're not even supposed to know they exist unless you crush a level enough to see one for yourself.

If they were just put on as a fifth tier of medal, completionists of any stripe would feel it necessary to red medal every single level which isn't going to be fun for a lot of them, so best to keep them aside.

Mind you I did actually feel it necessary to red medal every single medal but I am really weird

Totally agree with you in terms of the first playthrough. It wouldn't have been fun shooting for red medals the first time around.

But after beating the game, wouldn't it be cool to unlock the red medals for a second playthrough? Have them operate the same way ace, gold etc. medals do?

It would be another reason to play the game again and improve your times. And think how satisfying it would be to see the red medal appear on screen with the same sounds and images the other medals have.

Am not complaining I am top 20 global I just find it lazy how there is not animation for reds like in Trackmania for authors.

I wouldn't say some of the levels I, "crushed" most of the levels yeah I crushed them. Some of the dev times I'm surprised the devs only got; in less than 100 hours of playing the game and beat more than 50% of the dev times, and most of that time was spent grinding the levels I already did good on to climb the ranks.

Yeah, sometimes feels like they aren't that good at their own game :P I got every red medal in ~75 hours of playtime IIRC (done some other stuff since then)
