I was wondering if it would be possible that by 2015 Newgrounds would end flash as a supported format.

only if furryart is banned first.

can that happen anyways

I altered the first Ferngame to need only a mouse and used Swiffy on it but it came out like ass, like even more so than the flash version.

It needs a lot of work before I'll touch it as a dev, I think.

Hey the same for me. html5 is constantly dicking up my computer. I haven't tried to build with it yet but other people's games built in it are always crashing my browser or freezing shit up. I avoid html5 games at all costs now.

I'm on an 11 y/o laptop with limited and outdated drivers. My biggest problem with HTML5 is memory usage, second is the audio cutting out. How dependent is HTML5 on the capabilities of the hardware? I don't even have DirectX support on FF 20...

This works great as a mobile game!

I think this mobile games breakthrough could really help NG here in the short run. Not sure what's going to happen in a few years, but with everyone on their mobiles, free games with these ads are what we need.

Hopefully it can destroy the App stores for good.

The majority of the good web games are still being made with Flash and we have almost 15 years of Flash content - the goal will be to support that for eternity.

I was talking with a fellow NGer about this, good to see you say that, preserve the insane amount of content that gave this website it's start. \m/

No. Calm down with your zealous.

Yeah, my computer is MAYBE 2 years old now, but is easily still up to date. I think HTML 5 just needs a bit more time before I'm willing to invest in it, and or like it at all, also, game devs need a way to stick their ads in the game, and allow html5 games to go 'viral' for portals. From NG's point of view it's still fairly a win to support them of course. And it's certainly powerful, it just needs time. I'll always be a flash man though. Flash is clean and fast and allows an ARTIST to release what he wants, not just the master programmers.

I really do.

Why can't we all just get along? D:

Anyway, it's pretty cool to be able to play games and watch movies from my phone now. Nice work so far guys!

Remove the Reward Game from the front page. It has below 2 already. Why to bother people with buggy stuff...

Cuz there are times when my laptop isn't nearby and I get bored. It's not like I can just go outside or something.

They have just under 3 weeks to fix and improve the games, it's not like you're looking at final products right now

I hope this isn't the future. :/
