Hello Newgrounds! You may have already seen the reveal trailer for my latest game, but if you haven't, let me be the first to introduce you to...

Newgrounds Arcade Online

A social MMO where you can chat with fellow Newgrounders, play minigames, challenge each other to a round of madness roulette, watch animations together in the cinema, and redeem tickets for cosmetics!

And I'm here to announce some exciting news:

Registration for the Beta is now Open!

I'm looking for real testers who can provide effective and actionable feedback, later on I will open the beta up to a more general audience. There’s also a section for creatives who missed my earlier recruitment calls but are still interested in contributing!

The first closed beta should happen in early/mid June! Hope to see yall there!

Hey Newgrounds!

Sorry I haven't been too active in the space lately, I have a lot going on behind the scenes! I'm basically working 2 jobs because I'm logging 6-10 hours a day coding my game for the Newgrounds 30th Anniversary. I'm so excited to share what I have, but I don't know how much I want to reveal.

But I just wanted to pop on and say:

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 4K FANS YEEAAHOOOO

It happened a while back, on a longer work week so I didn't notice. I am so astonished at how much I've grown in the ~12 years I've been making stuff.

Thank you to @solfias for scouting me to the audio portal

Thank you to @thatawkwardkid for [trying to] tutor me in flash animation

Thank you to @cyberdevil for being a pillar of the community and a foundational member of my Newgrounds experience

Thank you to @cacola, @teravex, @etherealwinds, and @quarl for being excellent music buddies for over a decade. Love yall.

Thank you to @YuriKadry, @Vockwell, @Spazgunk, and @SlickRamen for being amazing artists and helping me realize my potential as a game developer, while putting up with my awful inability to direct art.

There are so many people I can put here, including new friends I'm making with this huge new game project. I'll probably edit this list MANY times xP

I also hit level 43 a few weeks back. That little goblin in a box is FINALLY MINE!!! It was years ago I set my sights on that level icon as "the one" I wanted. So yay.

HELP WANTED

3D pixel artists (Blender/Blockbench), SFX Designers Needed - Newgrounds 30th Anniversary Game

My game for the Newgrounds 30th anniversary is coming along nicely! I'm honestly really shocked with the direction it's gone, and how many new things I've learned to do. My team is jam packed full of my favorite and some of the most talented people on the site! But I need a few more specialists x.x

I am looking for 3d artists who specialize in pixel art textured low poly modelling! I wouldn't require animation, this would mostly be static objects for the environment such as buildings. If it's something that sounds up your alley, shoot me a DM with some examples of your stuff!

Hope to work with some more awesome peeps!

Hey all! I just finished a new song, would appreciate a listen 😁

It's another track that I've chipped away at on and off for a year or so but could never quite finish. I wanted to get some old wips off my plate so I can focus more on the game I'm making for the 30th anniversary 😉 It's going really well!

Take care yall! Thanks for stopping by 💕

This one's been sitting in my folders for a while now, I keep coming back to it but I could never seem to finish it.

I hope you will like it! It sounds pretty weird.

Development for my Newgrounds 30th anniversary game is well underway! There has been a lot of progress, and after my last blog post asking for help, our team is now 26 people strong! I'm working alongside some of the most talented people on the site. However, this project is the biggest and most ambitious that I've ever attempted, so we're still looking for others to join us!

Our ratio of pixel artists to musicians is very skewed, so I'm seeking chiptune musicians who would be interested in working with us! If you're capable of making retro sound effects, that would also be very useful!

That being said, we are still looking for additional pixel artists, in case you're interested but missed my previous post.

If you are interested, send me a message! Make sure you include examples of your previous works!

This is the most exciting project I've created, and if executed properly I think it could become a part of Newgrounds history! And I hope you'll be a part of it with us!

Calling All Newgrounds Pixel Artists! Howdy!

I have just begun preproduction on my game for the Newgrounds 30th Anniversary, and am looking for pixel artists/animators who would be interested in contributing!

Your contribution would vary in scale depending on your preference. I don't want to give away too much about the game yet, but it will be made up of several minigames. They vary in complexity, some would only need a handful of small static sprites, while others would be larger minigames requiring more detailed sprites with animations. You could work on just one minigame, or help with a handful! Any and all contributions are welcome and appreciated!

DM me if interested! I can't wait to work with you!

Heya! We're 17 days and 17 tracks into Tunetober!

I started pretty strong, but the last week and a half has been really rough for me x.x I've been low on energy as well as free time, so I had to cheat a little with some cheap ambient tracks and wrapping up some wips as opposed to making fully fledged tracks.

Here are some of my favorites so far:

You can listen to the full playlist here!

@Cyberdevil has been going strong with his inktober raps as well! It feels really good to work side by side with him this year! He's been using a lot of my instrumentals this time around, which I'm pretty happy about <3 He even managed to spit some fire over one of the ambient tracks, which was shockingly good and kind of astounding tbh

And the full playlist is here!

I hope I can keep going strong and finish the month without missing a day!

Happy spooky season fellas! See ya around :D

Hey all! Sorry it's been so long since my last update. This year has been craaaazy IRL, but in a good way :D But yeah, I've been slacking on my content xP We had a game we were working on for Madness day but we're running late. That should be out in the next month or so!

I've been trying to get back into the swing of things, creation-wise. So I've decided for October, I will be celebrating...

Tunetober!

That's right! 31 days, 31 songs :3 I'm going to make a track every single day this month! I'm making up my own rules, so while I've created them all from scratch so far, I might allow myself to rescue a few of my projects that have been burning in WIP hell for the past year or two.

What I've got so far:

I was inspired to do this by @cyberdevil and his remarkable ability to write 31 raps every October! Make sure to check his stuff out! He's been doing it for years! 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024

If anyone wants to collaborate on a track for tunetober with me, let me know! Send me a sample to start with or I'll send you one!

Thanks for stopping by!

I've kinda been in the music mood this past month. Just realized I've already released more songs than last year, and we're only two months in! I know it's not very impressive off the heels of Jamuary, but I felt like I hit a huge slump in 2022-2023, and it definitely feels like I've broken through a barrier.

I cranked all 4 of these out in the span of 18 days o.O

I'm having so much fun with sound design. These past few tracks have really renewed my love for the process. I just wish I could allocate more time to it instead of relying on the manic sprints at 2am after work xP

Bonus music, here's a showcase of all the stuff that died and burned in wip hell for all eternity last year lol

I still have the hunger, but I'm switching gears back to game dev. Got a few exciting projects for yall this year! I don't wanna say too much right now but I really think you're gonna like them! I just gotta try not to stretch myself too thin.

How's the year treating you so far? Doing anything fun?
