Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Use this thread to look for some people to work with for the Newgrounds Game Jam 5 (the 17th to the 19th of June).

Find out all about it, here!

In my personal experience, the best way to get work is to make awesome work on your own. When you have something like that under your belt, it's easy finding paying jobs.

haa.

My favorite novel I recommend to everyone is Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. If you're looking for a good candy-read, I love David Sedaris. Right now I'm thumbing through Glass Castle and it's pretty alright.

lol.

These games are rad!

I also like Ben Lee's acoustic version.

He was only about 12 when he wrote that song. Now he has a solo career.

You guys can go ahead and submit until 4am (Central GMT-6) because of my lateness getting started.

And I love that morse code game, so cool! Can't wait to see it finished.

More screenshots, less spam guys.

I made a quick preloader that will link to the collection page.

It's in Flash 8, soooo, it would be really nice if someone would convert it for AS3 users.

What about black or white?

You can only use three colors: red, yellow and blue.

I don't recognise the team name. Did you mean: Team DistantSun?
So kind of like the character walks on the walls kind of deal? Or the whole screen actually moves?

Yeah, Team DistantSun lol. I think you posted that revision immediately after this thread was created.

You should cause the player to have to do this (or at least want to do that). They don't literally have to spin their monitor, but maybe they will have to cock their heads in the heat of gameplay.

It will be hindering your game's aesthetic value more than gameplay. If you use it right, you can make everything pop real well.

I got a really low score but still managed to get a lot of scholarship money. It does hold you back a lot, though. It'd probably be in a very different place if I had a higher score.

haters gonna hate

Huh. What is this thread about?

Anything submitted after this point is late to the party! Congrats on a great jam, guys.

If you didn't get your game finished on time, you should go ahead and finish and submit it because it will still be added to the collection, and will overall be awesome for everyone.

Times up, kids! Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Edmund McMillen and Tom Fulp will be judging the winners this next week!

Also, I'm going to be creating a blacklist of all the people who decided not to show up. If you got a name, PM it to me, please.
