Thank you everyone who came out and said "hi" at Pax East! There's a bunch of pictures on the Behemoth Flickr.
This week we expanded the "Brand Spankin' New" boxes in the games, movies and art hubs to have four rows, so there is less chance you'll miss new stuff. Also means more low-scoring stuff with high visibility. You cool with that?
We also expanded the Art Browse page to have seven rows instead of four. A front page archive is coming too!
Yesterday I announced the upcoming Construct 2 Jam but that post also includes some Throwback Thursday so don't miss it.
Today is Follow Friday and once again I'll emphasize the importance of following artists you like on NG! If you see something you like, click the hearts next to the authors' names in the credits to receive updates whenever they do something new.
Movies
vladjuk was featured in a previous Follow Friday but even -I- forgot to follow him and he's kept making fun stuff since. His chicken movie has a horrible score but it's totally charming.
this is my claymotion
this idea come to me long ago, so a make it ) hope you like it
rambojoe released a Double Dragon movie that deserves more views than it has gotten so far:
This is not the mile high club.
Way more people should be following rambojoe, he has tons of funny movies. Remember Contra Rampage?
Wolfblut has a great Spanish-language (with subtitles) series about a blue werewolf.

¡ Human Vs Cathode ! Very Epic
Be sure to stop in on April 26th for Pico Day!
Games
0x6a61686e made a compelling puzzler that took me a minute to figure out. You should definitely give it a shot, it has a cool vibe. High scores and medals might give it a boost on NG.
Making everyone okay can get pretty tricky.
Check out his other games too!
A not-so-simple maze game made for Ludum Dare 27.
Yet another platformer! Made for Ludum Dare 26.
While we're on a puzzle kick, logicalcell made one too, with a great difficulty curve to teach you how it works:
This is a simple puzzle game.
And woah, logicalcell just published a new one that is also quite clever!
Connect same color blocks. Simple puzzle game.
Hillbridge released a loveable fishing game:
Catch fish, sell 'em and upgrade your boat to explore the world and its waters!
Wonder what Hillbridge will make next? Follow and find out!
Art

^Just found out about this guy yesterday. He apparently lives really close to me, but I haven't the slightest clue who he is :|
I'm all for more exposure for low scoring stuff. NG needs to be the place where new people can be seen and heard, and where feedback is plentiful for beginners. Hashtag portal days.
I've been following a lot more people lately. It really is a great way to know when good stuff comes out.
As for stuff that needs more love, this was pretty good and certainly shows it had a lot of effort put into it, but unfortunately didn't get a lot of exposure:

Good job, you deserved the mention. Unfortunately, I can't follow you twice, since I'm already a follower :3

that was never really the case , i think its still pretty much the same as before, people who were in NG before get more exposure . and its most in the art and animation deparment.atleast thats how ive seen it for a decade now.

I may just be a bit nostalgic, but when I started out here, about a decade ago, pretty much anything submitted to the portal got 1000+ views and 10ish reviews, even if it wasn't very good. Looking at flashes now, I'm seeing about 300 views and 2ish reviews. Not an enormous difference but a signifigant one. Maybe there are fewer new popular artists because they aren't getting the feedback, so they don't stick around until they're good. At any rate, I'd like to see if there's a statistical basis for my thoughts on the matter, but I'm way too lazy to research it.
Also, kudos to Tom for acting personally to expose new guys.
Great stuff! I'm loving it! Here's some more awesome flashes that were overlooked:
Making meth isn't Walter White's only secret...
Something Happens to Steve in the cave!
It's all wonderful and stuff

Hey Tom, wouldn't it be cool if we had a button that would send people to a random submission? Or maybe 4 buttons in one column; one for each portal.
