Snow Hare has been on the front page all week but it's not getting a ton of views. The low contrast thumbnail is likely not drawing as much attention as this movie deserves, please watch it:

If you like it, please go to Shawn Brande's page and click the pink heart to follow him. You don't want to miss whatever he does next!

enzob7 posted a bunch of great ANSI art this week, be sure to check out his art page and follow him if you like ANSI art.

If you aren't familiar with ANSI art, it was especially common in the old dial-up BBS days and the constraints involved continue to make it a really cool art form.

Slapp-me-do has a Badly Drawn Christmas on the way! It's the first new Badly Drawn Dawg in five years.

The creators of The Reward have posted a video about their upcoming work, Tales of Alethrion. NG backed it on Kickstarter so you'll see a Tankman in there around the 55 second mark. I was proud that NG was a site where they could post both The Reward AND the game based on The Reward.

You should follow SunCreatureStudio and hope some of their future stuff lands on NG!

It took some updates to the latest version of Stencyl but AdventureIslands finally got his latest game up on NG:

Check out the other games by AdventureIslands and follow him if you want more. You can see other examples of Stencyl games in our Stencyl collection. Stencyl is a development tool that helps you make games without prior programming experience; it's pretty darn cool.

BSMattW deserves more followers for his Deadly Space Action series! I missed front paging #20 so I'll feature that here, since #21 is on the front page at the moment.

If you're a Walking Dead fan, YULFO83 made an enlightening take on the latest episode.

Check out his other movies, he has quite a variety of interesting stuff and is well worth a follow.

Whirlguy is celebrating 10 years on Newgrounds by documenting his history on the site with ten blog posts. So far he has covered 2003-2011, go take a look!

pixeljamgames have released a new Dino Run game to help promote their Dino Run 2 Kickstarter.

Ever since Gamma Bros, I've been really impressed by these guys as game developers. They definitely deserve more followers and they deserve to hit their Kickstarter goal.

KartuneHustla posted some new art this week and it was great to see him back!

You should follow KartuneHustla because he won't clog your feed and the next thing he posts will likely be awesome.

johnfn made a great chiptune song as part of the NG Audio Deathmatch finals.

BoomKitty made some funky electro house that appears faintly in the background of CarbonWater's latest movie!

LevaBoy scored a spot on the front page as winner of Jazza's Animation Challenge. Follow him and watch him grow.

That's all the following for this Friday, try to check out as much as you can this weekend!

Oh one last thing, follow NG on Twitter and when you put something new on Newgrounds, be sure to tweet about it! We don't retweet everything but do retweet a bunch. If you like art on NG, also follow NG_Artists!

+1 for Deadly Space Action. It is stunning just how much skillfully scripted and animated content that this guy has put out. People who go through all of the episodes will not be disappointed if they are looking for a great animated sci-fi comedy. Also, a lot of the content is self-contained, so most episodes can be viewed by themselves and doesn't require the viewer to know what the hell is going on (because quite frankly, I think the creator intended it that way for comedic purposes).

Huh, I thought I was already following them. I guess not.....looking forward to their new stuff. The Reward was pretty awesome.

If I had a Twitter account I'd totally follow you.
But I have a Facebook and that seems like enough when it comes to social media stuff.

I enjoyed Snow Hare and enzob7's art. Both deserve a lot more views than they have now.

I will definitely be following them.

Response to More Amazing People to Follow 2013-11-22 22:05:56


Snow Hare was amazing, totally see why the tumbnail isn't making people watch it (it took some time for myself to take a look at it for the same reason)... plus the autor came from nowhere with that great movie. I would wish in the future he can submit more information of his creations

Response to More Amazing People to Follow 2013-11-22 23:54:33


I agree Show Hare deserves more views but I think it needs a better thumbnail. I hope he'll continue to use his skills.

Hey everyone, Nate Tronerud here. I was the composer for Shawn Branden's "Snow Hare". Shawn and I are both thrilled that the film is resonating with people so far. Please, if you haven't had a chance to watch it yet, it would mean so much to us, and especially to Shawn, if you did. Besides being my first film score ever, the story is deeply personal to Shawn and he put his heart into it. Please watch it; you won't regret it.

Thank you!

Haha, Tankman looks like a ninja... fun idea for a sponsorship! :D

Lots of great users/submissions as always, and apparently I'm only following four of these so far... any new features coming with the feed fixes btw? How's that filesize thing going?

You want to put boobs on the tumbnail? It's a movie about sadness, and grief. The thumbnail does depict that, to some extent. Do you want the thumbnail to depict something else, to trick users into watching it?
People just want to have mindless fun, violence, porn, etc - they need no sad/beautiful stories.
Disclaimer: I am by no means protecting such people or attacking the submission. Just "expressing" stuff.

So there was plenty of good stuff and kickstarters this week? Those kickstarters are breeding way too fast...

I was agreeing with tom's statement about thumbnail 's low contrast might not be attracting more viewers than it should. I tend to look at things at a quick glance and I couldnt see the figures in the thumbnail clearly but I was glad I clicked on this film since it was on the front page for so long. I consider it a hidden gem. I do agree with you that sex and violence gathers the most attraction. Maybe I shouldve of been clearer with the previous comment.

they're only good people until they submit something that hurts someone's feelings and Tom pulls it.

Tony. Shut the fuck up.
It's Tom's site and he can do whatever the hell he wants with it.
If he feels a submission needs to be deleted he'll delete it. He doesn't need asswipes like you bitching about decisions he makes regarding Newgrounds. If you don't like his choices there are plenty of other sites you can go visit.

You don't understand what is being discussed.

The current icon is very low contrast. The human eye is drawn to areas of high contrast. That is a fact.

The solution would be to use a scene with higher contrast which still accurately summarizes the story.

Any idea when the info pods (under movie and games) are going to get fixed, OP? I really like to know how big some of these files are, just to get an idea of optimization... been here for a while, and am still amazed on how much can get crammed into a swf! I miss oodles of details, especially after I've voted... like my blam/save ratio.


Vault 101 I have many old and deleted Flash submissions, PM me the filename, maybe I got it.
