nonono i think you were right we should do something from scratch, our own idea, the only thing we're missing however is an artist right?

As I've said I'm fairly new to this (only decided to actively pursue this today) so... Is there a certain website I use to post my tracks? Or anything? Or do we do Skype? I can do a deep male narrator voice kinda? Just give me some lines and I'll see what I can do. :)

upload your auditions here on newgrounds! then people can check you out right through here :D

Like I said to the other guy, I'm not calling the shots, but I believe that (especially since we don't have a voice actor yet) @Newbie97 will be happy to have you

I guess since I'm basically part of this now (or so it looks like it), I should give a little bit more info about myself. I'm a first year university student in Computer Science: Video game Development. I know what you're probably thinking at this point, "First year? He wasn't lying about being a noob..." Maybe true I admit, however, I'm confident in my skills and I just about always keep trying until I get something working when it comes to code. Also, I like to think I'm not the typical first year uni student when it comes to programming since I've made a few things on my own before university (been programming since around the age 15). As for languages, my forté is C# (I've spent most of my time in XNA). As a requirement for school however, I've been getting pretty good at python (but this is only for the first semester, from next semester on we'll be using Java). Now, NEWGROUNDS related, I'm sorry to have to admit that I don't really know too much actionscript, but I've made 2 simple things in flash using as3 over a year ago (an archery type game, and a failed attempt at a story based platformer) so I'm convinced that if I'm forced to do it, I'll be able to get used to actionscript pretty well. As for other talents, I guess I'm pretty good at coming up with ideas for games, I'M NOT ARTISTIC WHATEVER (maybe a little but I take forever), and I can play music (piano, ukulele, drums, little bit guitar). I live in Ontario, Canada, for if you wanted to know about time and such. Also, aside from this, I've started working on a game with my artist friend (that we've stopped for exams that are soon, but we'll resume right after).
Another thing I wanted to make clear was that I may not have any time to do much at all in the next couple of weeks since I have to focus on school, but I'll obviously let you all know if I'm free to do anything.

I don't know about the other guys, but I'd love to have your professional critique on my work :D.

Hey man, I don't think I'm the one calling any shots at this point, but you've got my vote for joining forces

This sounds like an awesome idea. If you wouldn't mind another programmer I'd happily join. Even so, don't sign me up just yet... exams are coming up :S I just really want to get working on something though yano? If I get a decent period of free time, you'll definitely see me posting

would you be able to show me some of your work please? i am slightly interested since you seem to lack experience as do i :p

Basically similar functions to playing a single submission.

That's actually an awesome idea I think

On the contrary, I think this would be making things less complicated... done right at least XD

I really think it would be awesome if newgrounds supported something like playlists. What do you guys think? For me at least, often I'm looking around the audio portal and I just want to play a bunch of songs while doing other stuff without having to change the window when one song ends. My idea would be something like a playlist that every user has (it doesn't have to be public) that you could add songs into by clicking a button on that page (kind of like adding something to your favourites), and then when you ran the playlist, newgrounds would just switch windows for you when the song ended, kind of like youtube works. I guess a problem with this could be if the song is a loop, but I'm sure that could be worked out. Even if there aren't playlists, but just a "play all" button for different groups, like in the genres, or in newest, or most popular, or even in your favourites. I think this could be a very basic but amazing change. Something even greater, but possibly more difficult, would be creating public playists, and allowing each user to create multiple playlists that other users could look at, even more like how youtube works. But like I said, it wouldn't have to be too advanced, just giving people the ability to play lots of audio in a row I think would be a big improvement. What do you guys think? Got any other ideas on how a playlist system should work that I didn't mention? Any reason why this might not work for newgrounds?
