OTHER NEWS

If you haven't seen it, @Noodle has been creating a great This Week on Newgrounds series on the NG YouTube channel. Hopefully it gets people over there to come check out stuff over here!

Have you ever thought about getting into game dev with Game Maker? You can snag Game Maker Studio Pro AND the HTML5, iOS and Android export modules for just $15. GO DO THAT IF YOU'RE EVEN MILDLY INTERESTED. Also related news post.

Check out this Kickstarter for Gone in a Flash, a documentary about the early Flash scene. Give it a shot with some support and we'll see what happens! It would be really cool to see this get made, I know we're all still waiting on another documentary attempt.

Another Kickstarter to check out is the Arrival in Hell Remake by @Rustygames.

The Creep Jam animation jam deadline is Monday, prepare to get creeped out!

The Rejected Mascot Jam winners will also be announced next week.

[Enzo07]

Congratulations the winners

[ninjamuffin99]

congrats to the winners!
Even though I keep up with NG news I still enjoy watching TWoNG and I always look forward to them!

[IceBreak23]

Congratz to all

[UndeadFighter]

The winners really made some fantastic stuff. I even favorite some of the winners, hoping to see some more great content. Good job!

[ZJ]

1 Minute Personality Test is a fantastic game. Glad it got first prize.

Wow, thanks a bunch, Tom! It's a real honour to even be on that list. But some extra prize money? That just melts my heart. Thank you, Tom, and everybody who supported Pound the Puss; the warm reception that such a crude game got was totally unexpected by me, and I'm humbled by its reviews every day. Thanks a bunch, Newgrounds.

Oh wow, I did not know about this! I'm even featured! This was a neat surprise, too. I enjoyed Noodle's Let's Play as well.

[Whirlguy]

This post is just overflowing with awesome! The top 5 for this month are fantastic and I'm very excited about the This Week On Newgrounds series on youtube (thanks a lot @Noodle, you're so sdfgn; awesome!). I forgot to back Gone In A Flash earlier this week, so I did that just now. That game maker deal is sweet as hell. I spent $15 on a software bundle that would cost about €1020 on steam, and it even came with some indie games! When Tom said you should go get it, what he actually meant was YOU ARE A _______ MORON (...if you didn't buy it, that is). Can't wait for the rejected mascot announcement! <3

I've actually been randomly going back and making additional purchases, so I have a bunch of claim links in my email. I just know I'm gonna want some handy to hand out over time.

[shrizumalonito]

Sweet. Great job to @GoshaDole after being absent for almost 5 years. Same to @Jazza and @LazyMuffin as they always pop in every month or so.

[SolarFoxProductions]

Congrats to the monthly winners here!

[GoshaDole]

Thank you guys!!! Very honored to get top ranked for this month. :) I know I was out of it for awhile, but I'm happy to be so welcomed back~!

I also appreciate all the feedback/comments on my piece. Looking forward to making more.

[chris-the-stick]

congrats to everyone!

i saw many good movies+games this month, (as always...) cool stuff.

lets keep marching!

[Cyberdevil]

Congrats to the winners!

So much awesome news too. I don't really plan on building up my game-making skillset anytime soon, but that deal seems a bit too good to miss too...

[The-Manager]

Thanks Tom!

Am I missing something, or is Game Maker Studio Pro for Windows only? It seems like several types of this kind of software is PC only...is there a good one for Macs?

Love the new YT series btw.

Thanks so much everyone! I'm really glad to hear that everyone is enjoying the series so far :D
But also don't be afraid to be critical of things. I am always aiming to improve, and appreciate any feedback you might have.

Cheers!

[Butzbo]

Whoaa, seventh place with a movie!, thanks to all who voted, great to see some Animation Jam stuff making it in the list :D.
Speaking of, I'll have to come up with something for the Creep jam soon!

Also the Gamemaker bundle is such a great deal, I've been into Construct 2 with Dinomelt but I still grabbed it to try it on other projects.

[StaticSkull]

Congratulations matez

[X-Dog]

Gee, the music in the first submission was crap! Ow my clavichord!

[Ehwaz003]

Congratulations to the winners!

I forgot to share my top picks from the month.
I hadn't played Pound The Puss yet, or else I for sure would have included that one!!

I would have done some re-arranging so that both it and 1 Minute Personality Test stayed in the top 10

Is there a page here on NG that describes how you can get Java games like that to work on Firefox? That security notice just won't go away, even tweaking the Java console directly doesn't help.
