Many of you have likely noticed Friday Night Funkin’ is a huge hit, on its way to becoming the most popular game in the history of NG.
To celebrate, we’re hosting a Friday Night Funkin’ Animation Jam, with a $5K prize pool from the Funkin’ team (@ninjamuffin99, @PhantomArcade, @KawaiSprite, @evilsk8r) and over $1.4k from the community!
To participate, create an original animation in the world of Friday Night Funkin’.
Rules:
You can include OC’s; there are popular mods out there and it could be cool to see those represented in some way. Other third party characters are ok but keep the focus on it being an FNF movie.
It can’t be an animation you made previously, it needs to be made for the jam and include a Newgrounds.com watermark. Don’t have one? PhantomArcade has you covered!
The watermark can be temporary but ideally placed in a way that isn't easily cropped / edited out when people steal your video on other platforms, which will happen.
Your entry should be uploaded to Newgrounds before Youtube or anywhere else.
“Newgrounds is and always will be the home of Friday Night Funkin, so the cartoon goes here first. Feel free to post it anywhere else even minutes later, but NG first baby. Friday Night Funkin is a Newgrounds game after all.” - Funkin’ Team
Please don’t use meme audio or unlicensed commercial music; any dialog should be an original recording and any music should come from a royalty-free source or the FNF soundtrack itself.
There are no length requirements. Something too short might lack substance, something too long might become boring. Check out the Pet Jam entries for some good examples.
You’re welcome and encouraged to work in teams! If you’d like to join a team, make your interest known in this thread.
Include the FunkinJam tag on NG and #FunkinJamNG when posting on social (wips too!).
“If you break any of these rules, we’ll rip every inch of skin off your body, so thanks for playing nice!” -Funkin’ Crew
