You can use any tool you like! I also recommend checking out Construct, which is really powerful and has some Scratch-like drag and drop tools. It requires a subscription to get the full features but is worth taking a look!

GAM JAM LET'S GOOOOOOO. Btw, to opt to the jam prizes, does the game need to be original material too? (assuming the theme isn't some series/games/characters)

That is an nice tune, but it can't compete with the original Endless handbag loop.

I get back from vacation on the 18th, so I can help out with Unity/programming if anyone wishes for me to join them. If you can dream it, we can probably do it. 2D or 3D is fine. I'm Unity certified and continue to build/create. Let me know in the DMs if you want to work together or need help!

I'd really love to partake but I have no idea where I'd even start, or how

question, will people under 18 get to compete as well?

You can compete but should have permission from a parent or guardian, in particular before receiving a prize.

Big thanks to @Stanpai for organizing the NG Summer Festival this weekend! There is still time to check out some panels today, go check it out.

Winners of our Friday Night Funkin’ Animation Jam were announced last week.

The Art Inspired Music Contest Fan Voting is now in progress.

NG Audio Deathmatch Auditions are also now in progress.

Give this a listen!

If you aren’t familiar with Endless Handbag, a loop from this song played on the NG front page in 1998 and has always been a big part of NG’s identity. It’s really cool to hear a rock opera take on it, makes you wonder what a Newgrounds rock opera would be like.

Remember, you can go to the Audio Portal and click any song thumbnail to listen to them all back-to-back, playlist style. Listen in the background while you work and you’ll discover all sorts of great artists!


Can't wait to play the new games!

If you can export it to Flash or HTML5 and get it working on Newgrounds, fair game.


Sure I could participate, but I don’t really have any programming experience, nor do I have time to learn them, so I might have to partner with someone who does.

Hi, uh, I was wondering if it’s ok if the game doesn’t fit the theme. I know it hasn’t been announced yet, but I’ve been working on a game before this and it probably won’t fit the theme. Thanks.

Isn't the point of a jam that a game must be made during the given time period?


I don't see any rules posted, anybody know what they are?

Sorry but jam games should be made during the jam period and should fit the jam theme. General games are eligible for our monthly prize, though!
