That work included getting to create 23 fun medals (achievements) for players to win when the game is played over on the Newgrounds site with a player account. The game will launch over there next week on November 3rd.\u00a0I&#8217;ve also managed to sell a few non-exclusive licenses including one to Big Fish Games.\u00a0The primary sponsorship was found via posting to <a href=\"http:\/\/flashgamelicense.com\">Flash Game License<\/a>.
