Keep an eye out this week for Newgrounds Annual Tournament of Animation open round entries! The deadline for entry is Midnight EST on Friday, May 23rd and the theme is "The Most Important Mission Ever." If you haven't started anything, you can still whip up an animation in the next week and have a chance to land a spot in the tournament!
BattleBlock Theater is now available on Steam! It would be awesome if you bought a copy. Also follow Dan Paladin on NG.
Fearless Fantasy is also now available on Steam! This one comes from NG favorite SpikeVallentine.
The 24-Hour Game Show Marathon will be streaming from the NG office this weekend, to raise money for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The stream begins at 12PM EST today, check the website for more info!
I gave a talk at Bucks County Technical High School on Thursday and met WingedRevelations, who showed me the teaser for a series he is developing! He had all sorts of storyboards already drawn out, keep an eye on his progress!
The Public Domain Game Jam starts today! There is a $1000 prize for the best game that also releases its source code and assets under the Creative Commons Zero waiver. Check out this promo video by Nutcasenightmare!
I missed doing a proper Follow Friday due to a stomach bug that hit me yesterday, although I wasn't in a huge rush to bump the Pico Day Winners post.
If you follow one new person this weekend, I recommend WolveGames, who is really on a roll. He made Hanoka, currently the top ranked NG entry from Ludum Dare 29, then followed up with Hobo Bob, the first of his Wolves Weekly series, with a new game every week! Check out his previous works:
