Thank you everyone who participated in February!

I’d like to give an especially big THANK YOU to @Andobiki for organizing the One Piece Collab, a big February highlight along with the @ClockCrew’s Flash Flood and our Phaser Game Jam.

For more goodies, check out Featured Art from February, ranked by score as well as my February Audio Playlist Part 1 and Part 2.

Next are updates to our Supporter check-out and a private messaging facelift, hopefully both this week if all goes well!

[Snackers]

Makes me smile to see that extra lil bonus for Wavetro and Meatcanyon, the consistency of their work is admirable

[wavetro]

I will use my prize money to buy cocaine to keep up my weekly schedule

Meatcanyon and Wavetro have been consistently making me laugh and have a good time with their work. Definitely nice to see them get a bit of recognition for their work 👍

[TharosTheDragon]

So I voted for the first time in years, and I made the time to try each game and movie so that I could case a fair vote. And... the top movie is a five-second mostly-still clip, while Psyop is 17th place and WAYWARD'S HOUSE is 29th place. Yikes.

The top games are similarly surprising. I doubt any of them expected a trophy. SPACEWYRMS got one of my votes and it's third from the bottom.

[FutureCopLGF]

Another lovely month of games! I wasn't expecting to review so many, but thanks to the Global Game Jam and Phaser Game Jam, my cup runneth over! Thanks again to everyone for making these great games: amazed at people like @Rob1221 who delivers great games practically every month, and @JinxSpell who knows how to blow minds with plot twists!

[Tacopug]

Glad that Wavetro and Meatcanyon got a call out. The rate in which they post work is awe-inspiring and the quality is always up there. Would've been nice for Psyop and snaketown to be higher but I guess it's just the nature of things

[Wiesi]

Cograts to all the winners!! I think I had the most fun with Wabbit Season!

Thank you for taking the time to check everything out and voting fairly.

I'm starting to think that people are ironically voting for the worst submissions as a bad joke! The hell is going on?

[RobertClock]

Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks again to Tom for the Flash Flood shout outs!

I feel the same... Especially when there were so many great submissions, either because of humour or sheer animation quality, like Psyop, Wayward's house, Monkey's Butt, Orange Trick, Snake Town and a long etcetera... The Top 5 are unexplainable lately.

[PoundToundHound]

Congrats to the winners!

(Any for you all mentioning Wayward's house, that means a lot to me, thank you!<3)

Yeah I'm kinda surprised I wasn't banned by now for my name or at least contacted about changing it, but I was a wild/edgy kid when I made this account over 10 years ago. Thanks, Tom!

Congrats to the winners y'all!

Some of these promos really should be in the art portal if they aren't already...

Random very time-requiring but somehow very clock-worthy event idea comes to mind: a collective Inktober (if Clocktober wasn't already taken...) with exclusively clock-related promo art every day the whole month?

Them peeps being able to create content faster than I can actually consume it: that is pretty impressive. Props indeed. Crazy work ethics.

Or incredibly efficient animation processes/outsourcing routines.

Iconic first appearance right here. :) Good thing we have that free speech thing for real over here...

[EpithetSoup]

I'm happy for all of these creators. Keep up the good work.

I keep forgetting to post on the Clock Crew site, please don't hate me.

Also congrats to all the winners!

the soundtrack had me gripped

Those Interface ones are pretty amazing. Always somewhat of an underdog.

Congrats everyone

I figure people just voted for a meme, but March 20, 2020 is the exact same meme with better animation, and it's 22nd place

I know right. I seriously doubt we can blame this on spam accounts. They would have to be around for years to be able to participate in monthly voting. Something else is going on...
