Damn, I remember Chance and playing Skullkid non-stop years ago, it was a lot of fun... that sucks...
Another Beloved fallen. Thoughts go out to his family, and to all his friends that knew and loved him. all these animations and stuff that shaped my formative years in highschool leaving so young. i imagine Banning and Spurgin are having drinks in the ether.
R.I.P to Chance and all that Newgrounds have lost
Skullkid was a game of my infance,I played the other games and also waited for the full version of his 2010 game...Oh well...RIP Chance,RIP Corded,RIP Creator of skullkid...
RIP Chance Banning, you will be missed, along with Edd Gould and Randy Solem

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire world, especially the close family and friends of Chance, there is no replacing him.

Gee, that sucks. The skullkid was an awesome game and one of the first games I ever played on NG.

I'll be honest, the only thing I saw/played from the guy was skullkid, but I remember plain as day having mountain-loads of fun playing that game. It was absolute carnage for me back then when I first played it, and I replayed it thousands of times after that. Wonderful music in that flash too.
It's a shame hearing him go though, and it saddens me to hear that he's gone. Had I been reminded of the skullkid before his death, I would have definitely gone to replay it and check out his newer stuff too.
May he rest easy.
This makes me sad. The Skullkid was the very first game I played on Newgrounds long ago with my first account.

I remember playing skullkid over and over just to complete round 2 with full health. The 3-D furniture splitting effect still is amazing.
RIP Chance Banning.

Must be damn hard to write these lines for you, Tom. Thanks for letting us know.
Rest in Peace, Chance. Your work will never be forgotton within the NG-Community
bitch please, Im a castle crasher
Oh, I was wondering why it showed up on the Front Page all of a sudden. That game will never get old. RIP.
At first i didn't know who this guy was.
But when i found out that this young man made the first thing i ever watch or played from this website.
It might be the first game i ever played on the internet.
His game The Skullkid made me realise how interesting this website is, so thank you Chance! :)
And i thank him for letting me know how much talent there is on this website.
A man with so much talent should never had been laid to rest in such a young age :(
It's shocking to think that this stuff happens often on this site.
Its kinda scary when you think about it.
Rip Chance :(
Man I haven't played this game since I was 10 years old before I sign up to Newgrounds. I actually played this game on another website before I even knew about Newgrounds. He will be missed :(
Exacte Mundo Tom. Kick up dirt.Show the world whats in you.
Spit on the naysayers, show the world what you can do.
Rock the Stage because its YOUR stage.
Show your strengths, everybody has some.
And when you havent found them,search for them,get to your core.
Legends never die.No matter how big they are.
Love and Peace to all of you.
Hell. That was the first game I played here on Newgrounds, makes me think of all the time that has passed since then. It's pretty cool that we'll all show respect when a member of the community dies. anyway, RIP Chance Banning, the guy who got me grounded for playing his skullkid game.

I seconded this, rest in peace to all of them.
You forgot about Randy Solem, which I think you should have mentioned his name in your post too, since he was also such a great animator, in sprite animation that is. (So rest in peace to him, as well.)

Skull Kid was one of the very first games I ever played on NewGrounds. In fact it might have even been the first. A tragic loss; when I saw the game on the front page it was such a nostalgia trip, but disappointing knowing the reason. Rest in peace Chance; condolences to your loved ones.

might be safe to say that he touched our lives in way, here. the skullkid was great, i really loved sawing through the office. his making that @ 16 is really impressive, thanks for sharing that TomFulp. Chance Banning...definitely a great inspiration. i understand he was a really good guy.

I used to hang out with this guy! Man,good times! We played his game skullkid till midnight. He will be missed. I love this dude (no homo). In fact,when we first met,back in like 2006,he slapped me because I offended him somehow,then we became friends. LOVE THE DUDE,AND KEEP STROLLIN SKULLKID,FOR YOU'RE IN NEWGROUNDS HEAVEN NOW! Hope you have a good time in heaven dude,brohoof! /)
