What the fuck kind of maniac plays Dark Souls for the first time, then comes back 2 days later near the end!!??

That game took me like a fuckin month!

lmao the guy who said "Newdrones"!

I finally read about the supporter badge on a day right afer payday where I've got money- and then found out I had $25 store credit the whole time!
I guess that was a bonus, but... I dunno I guess I'll buy something else now.

holy shit guys if you click an audio submission in your Latest Favourites on the homepage it just DROPS DOWN AND PLAYS IN THE BOX NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh wow, custom soundtracks in games sounds like an awesome use for Newgrounds API!

Oh and most of the status updates are copy-pasted from a 21-year-old male on my actual friends list.

MACROMEDIA FLASH 8 FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
y'know unless... I'm using Unity or something.

Hey I mentioned this in my last blog post, I started a new lil in-between project game a couple days ago. It's a kind of adventure game based on making decisions and pickin' sides. You play one full school year as a 15-16 year old girl, and you'll have to draw the line on whether or not you wanna smoke, how much you like to get drunk, if you wanna have sex and who with, and it's kind of inspired by the Walking Dead game in that every decision WILL put you under pressure and fuck you over either way.
There'll be parties and holidays n stuff (if you have any friends) to be a catalyst, but inbetween that it's just gonna be doing homework and blowing off one group of friends to meet up with another.

The idea came from me asking how would you make Bully but with girls? but it turns out I'm a sexist, a retard, and have probably never made a game before. So after trying to coax people into talking about game design for a couple pages I actually got really interested in the idea, scooped it up n ran off with it. So a lot of this game is about getting shit on by people you don't like, and accidentally realising you're a bully to someone else, which is in my experience how it happens in real life.

So here it is after a couple days! I'm really happy with my ability to generate 600 students in half a second. Right now they're all girls and don't have photos, and you just get a new friend and new statuses every day. No conflicts yet.
In brainstorming this I made a really really strange application that snatches the profile pic of a random facebook userID every couple seconds. It is weird and I feel weird for doing it. In this actual game I obviously would have to draw a fuck-tonne of tiny avatars that LOOK LIKE real photos or something.

...oh and right now it's called "Bitch". I came up with that name on the spot, not sure about it. It's good for a lot of reasons:
-It sets the tone that this game is not a fucking High School Musical dating sim, it has the capacity to be as harsh and sad and real as it needs to be.
-When you're 16, any girl you don't like is automatically "a bitch". Partly cos you just learned how to swear.
-Bitch is a slang term that denotes hierarchy, which is relevant to this game
-Bitch is a slang term as a verb: to bitch. To bitch about someone behind their back, bitchiness, to demean someone.
-CANIS CANEM EDIT! Bully was released in Europe as "Dog Eat Dog".
-Ed McMillen made a game called "CUNT" and he's a cool guy, sssoooooo

Reason's it's a bad name:
-I have to explain why it's a good name.

...So yeah if this project takes less than a month and I can put it on Newgrounds, I'll be VERY PLEASED WITH IT!

CLASSIC NG LAFFS

"I KNOW LET'S PLAY TOSS THE H-BOMB!"

aaaaa I just found out right at the end here that Adobe AIR can't change _quality down to MEDIUM or LOW. It has to stay at "HIGH".
ggoooooddddd dammit.

All your recieved reviews in order of latest first.
Yea I know, it's hard to find. It's on the PROJECTS page. Really cool though.

I dunno sounds like a pretty sweet game to me.

Ok, phasing everything into just "Following" and "Friends" is good, and using it to connect with people you know in multiplayer games is a good function. Now I get it.

Who the fucking christ has FAMILY on this site?

I don't get it, I'm already following people and reading their blogs and watching their stuff anyway.

Please consolidate all the Portal Buddies and Newgrounds Contacts and all my other weird lists to just "Friends", cos at least then this'd have SOME function.

I don't get what the point of being friends is. I'm already following people, favouriting them, making myself a portal buddy or a publishing partner or whatever... wanna add some more boxes for me to tick or what?
I'm already reading all your blogs and watching all your cartoons, so this doesn't seem to add much. I still think they should've eye-blasted everyone with the Follow feature like I said.

I'm still getting errors on using this Air extension, it's starting to feel really depressing.

Update: Glaiel knows what's up, he's done this before. I'm in AS3 now and it's just a matter of me figuring out how to use Adobe Air and this Steamworks extension.

It'd probably help if I was in AS3 and could compile in Adobe AIR.

Yes it is really fucking annoying how outdated my stuff is, this is the last Flash game I'm making.
I actually moved on to C# games in Unity, but because this got Greenlit I have to go back to this AS2 game I made in early 2011.
So I asked the coder on Binding Of Isaac what he did, and long-story short my best bet is to launch a .exe that runs all the necessary C++. Sure, I can make that right?
NOPE! Turns out that's crazy-impossible. I've had to install all this stuff I've never heard of and run into errors I can't read- I've only ever coded gameplay, so installing a g++ compiler to build this Visual C++ application? PPFFFFFFFFF WHAT? I can't speak that language.

If this is really easy, basic stuff for anyone in this thread then hey- I'm holding off release til I can get it working.

Alright I'm currently finding no possible way to connect to the Steam API through a Flash game, so if anyone has any info on that then please PM me.

and right now I don't have enough money to go anywhere but my house.

I only noticed Fuck This Jam had started 2 days after it finished :/
For everyone who dislikes horrible time-sink iOS games: Download Little Inferno. It's about that concept.

Also I got greenlit on Steam this week, :brag: :smug:
Don't repurpose a flash game as a desktop download, it's a fucking pain in the dick.

Wow I actually checked out the bone tool just now and it is NOT VERY CAPABLE!

It's really good with a rectangle.

OH wait- that ruins the fun of guessing it.

...huh...

Anyway draw a Gears of War bloodmount, those are crazy.

How about people just post the character and game that they're guessing, AND the character and game they wanna see.
So whoever's right first doesn't have to wait a day to for you to say "YES THAT'S RIGHT NOW SUGGEST SOMETHING", and then wait another day for them to reply.
Like this:

"It's the Final Fantasy Tonberry
Draw Rad Spencer from Bionic Commando ReArmed"

Oh Jesus Christ, AS4

Whatever man, I think "Alyx Vance was a shetland collie for the first 2 years of Half Life 2 development" is hilarious. Everything else I do is on this site.

Forgot the link!

Hey I'm doing a twitter right now where I post 100% true, fact-checked facts about gaming. It's obviously not something I can upload as a swf, so I guess I'll post it here.
It had like 7 followers for the first couple weeks, but just jumped all the way up to 203 overnight and I have no fucking clue why, but I'm glad people like it. So I'm just throwin it out there: Here's a project I'm doing. THOUGHTS!!?

A couple people have submitted their own, so if you're a funny dude then FUCKING PROVE IT >:(

My next blog post on Newgrounds is #100 and I've bin waiting for some cool milestone to happen so I can write about it, but for the passed couple months it's kinda just bin business as usual.

I wanna plug my twitter but THAT CAN'T BE NUMBER ONE HUNDRED BY ITSELF!! :I

I am mad jelly of this jelly.

Can't really think of a good gameplay use for it though, mostly just "put it on characters to make them look gross".

Speaking of Luis' tennis game, I roughed out a tennis RPG a couple weeks ago. You can see me asking on his news post if he's gonna have crazy fireball swings n shit.

I'm not gonna make it, I'm doing too much other stuff.
Speaking of which, everybody follow my fake twitter. It's 100% true fact-checked facts about videogames.
