Chat Updates & NG Radio
@BrenTheMan has been making lots of updates to chat, go have a look! The latest addition is a new NG Radio, which you can open right in chat or via that direct link. There are multiple stations and both the radio and chat are EXTREMELY mobile friendly.
You can create your own personal chatroom via this link: http://chat.newgrounds.com/r/
It will generate a unique chatroom URL to share with friends or tweet out to fans. @moawling hosted a chat yesterday where she made icons for other users, this was the result of a request by @StuffedWombat!
Summer Jams Update
Be sure to come by Monday, when we'll be showcasing animations from our Sound Jam! We just got this entry by @Whirlguy and it's great. The current site skin by @Shamfooo is a celebration of our previous Robot Jam, btw.
Email Updates
A while back we overhauled our email system to make emails mobile-friendly. During that transition we stopped sending site news via email. @liljim has brought this feature back and made it mobile friendly, so you may be reading this site news from your inbox on mobile right now. Hi, it's been a while!
API Updates
@PsychoGoldfish has something on the way next week: We're going public with our NG API 3.0 beta. It's a platform agnostic API that is built to work with all games, vs the previous API iterations built for Flash.
Up Next
After that we'll resume with transitioning pages to our new mobile friendly layout, as seen on the Supporter and Wall of Honor pages. Try those on your phone.
Please consider becoming a Supporter while you're there. It would be great if we could roll into 2017 with 2,000 active supporters; steady progress will get us there and you CAN make a difference here. Monthly subscribers give NG much-needed budget consistency and the quicker you get on board, the quicker we achieve our goals!
Hope you enjoy the updates! Monthly payments are going out this Monday. Be sure to check your PM inbox on Monday as well to see if you are on the panel to decide the Best of July. I intend to expand the cash prize pool for at least animation so your votes will be extra important.
