Best of October 2019!

[TomFulp]

There’s a community project underway to create a free pack of original samples, including instruments, vocal and sound effects. If you’re into recording / sfx and would like to help out, check out the Megacollab Sample Pack Thread!

November 8th update - everyone wish @irri and @Mike a Happy Birthday! Also @KawaiSprite almost has 100 follows and he deserves 100x that for all the great music he makes... Let's at least get him to 100!

Winners of our Halloween Spooktacular are yet to be determined but you can enjoy the Best of October right now, as selected by the NG monthly voting pool:

The voter of the month and winner of honorary Supporter status is @Shantom!

You can also check out the Featured Art from October, ranked by score as well as my October playlist of songs I enjoyed. There were so many that I hit the 100 entry limit and spilled into a second playlist. I’d still like to tidy up this list so it’s possible I could get it back into one, or more likely we’ll update the playlist system to have a larger limit. We need to get the new Project System and Collabinator out first, though.

Thank you to everyone who participated in October! Our Spooktacular had a great turnout and all the brilliant last-minute entries on October 31st really ended the month with a bang and kicked off what should be an exciting November. Be sure to stick around for some big updates this month!

[HassySoda]

Congrats~

[ClockworkPixel]

Thank you so much! Halloween on Newgrounds is something I look forward too every year and to see everyones reaction to our animation has been amazing.

Thank you.

[FraserMcNiven]

Huge congrats to everyone. And massive, massive thanks. ClockworkPixel dragged me into his world of horror and we've both been blown away by the response.

I also want to take the opportunity to congratulate XxdrummerxX, creator of PARASITE, who we both just had the pleasure of hanging out with for the first time.

It took me a while, but I'm very happy to be here.

Here's to the next one.

Congrats! Spoople Knows was great as well. You are really knocking it out of the park, but we all know Jerry Jackson deserved the top spot! :P

[FraserMcNiven]

Aw cheers, that's really kind of you.

The next Spoople is gonna drop real soon. A bit of tonal whiplash.

I only want the best for Jerry.

[StickmanMarkinson]

Congratulations to the winners of October 2018. I'm glad that one of the submissions that I voted for, got to the Top 5 movies and games. Also thanks for the double xp weekend from last week, really appeciated it.

[Twisted4000]

What the hell, I made it to second place of the month? Wow I didn't see that coming, lol. Thanks, and congrats to the other winners!

[Remi-le-Oduen]

Congrats to the winners and THANKS a lot to everyone who created so many cool things this October

[Shantom]

Thanks for the supporter status Tom! :)

[KaileahPNelson]

Hmmm, that's too bad I didn't make it on the art playlist. Guess my 18 1/2 hours working on the Protector Of Lost Children wasn't worth that much to some....I noticed a guy with joined around that same time I did doesn't have a problem getting views/followers while I'm still invisible....Oh cruel life:'(

Congrats to everyone who won and was a runner up! And happy birthday whose birthday is it!

Thanks again Tom, for at least inspiring me to do themes I've never done before....

Laters,

Invisible-Kaileah out;P

So many games this month, it spooked me right out! Usually there are about 20 or so games to play, but this time there were 36 to go through! Now that's how you do Halloween. As usual, thank you to all the developers for these great games and congrats to those who made it to the top! If anyone is looking for feedback or wants to take a peek at these games, I've captured it all below:

[Jxudo]

Dang was hoping to at least make the playlist. Oh well, congrats to all who did :)

[Cyberdevil]

Such a solid assortment for the month! Congrats to the winners! And @Shantom!

Ooof. Lot of time there. It's hard to be noticed in the constant flood of awesome artistry but some people seem to have discovered the secrets. Or found a niche. Quantity often seems to trump quality at first but good followings build with effort. I'm sure you'll get there!

Oooh what's changing with the Collabinator?

Also congrats to everyone that placed in October! Can't help but feel DMX Meets David Bowie should have been higher though. That was probably my favorite submission from the whole month.

Ah yeah I voted for that one too, though there really was a lot of good stuff this month! My favorite was most probably:

...didn't get nearly as high up as it deserved.

[darthmaul298]

Are there any VSTs?

[JunkYardAnimations]

Congrats guys!! Awesome job!!

[KawaiSprite]

Holy shit I just now saw this lol THANK YOU

[FrozenFire]

@TomFulp a month from now your account will be 20 years old! Congrats :)

Also, I'm noticing the art portal having a difficult time loading artwork and thumbnails. Even the artwork on the front page is slow to load when opened. I'm not having issues loading content elsewhere, is there something going on with the backend of NG that's causing the slowdown?

Yes if it's a new non-cookied image it loads top down and takes about 8 seconds to fully load. Again, not a huge issue but I like to keep you aware of anything actin' a fool on NG.

I have to keep several websites up-to-date and bug free and sometimes things go months without being reported as broken simply because no one spoke up.

What ISP are you on? Wonder if it's a regional issue, seems to be ok on my end.
