Today’s Drawing Tablet Recipient
Today’s tablet recipient is @massivemarioluigi700.
Massivemarioluigi700 was using an old, busted tablet. He’ll be ringing in 2021 with a new one!
Today’s Featured Flash (without Flash)
For Pico Day 2007, @Luis and @TrueDarkness teamed up to create an interactive movie. It's playable with the mouse, what Luis uses to draw everything because he’s never participated in the tablet giveaway.
Also @Luis please post your Sunday morning cocktail in this thread.
About Ruffle and Flash Preservation
Most of the content shared on NG nowadays isn’t Flash; you can share your HTML5 games and any sort of original animation you’ve made in video format, as well as art, music, voice reels and podcasts. As the original Flash Portal we continue to host both old and new Flash content.
Newgrounds sponsors the development of Ruffle.rs, to run Flash content in the browser without Flash. Flash will be removed from browsers at the end of the year but thanks to Ruffle, we can enjoy Flash forever! Ruffle doesn’t support everything yet, which is why we have Newgrounds Player as a desktop fallback until it does.
Ruffle was created by @Mike as an open-source alternative to the Flash plug-in, free of all the legacy problems associated with Flash. Lots of smart people have gotten involved with the project and you can sponsor it with money or help as a Rust developer.
About the Drawing Tablet Giveaway
Newgrounds is hosting a 2020 Drawing Tablet Giveaway, inviting artists to apply for the chance to receive a drawing tablet. Applications are still open, however you must be US-based (tablets are sent directly from Amazon) and your chances will greatly improve if you have examples of your art or animation here on Newgrounds.
We’ve received generous donations from @Egoraptor, @AnonymousAlchemist, @SinclairStrange, @RonDMC, @SaucySaucepan, @Afro-Ninja, @Jonas, @NCH, @Sabtastic, @Squidly, @MSGhero, @Rarykos, @Straqt, @kleinerjunge, @DevAesthetic, @NickSenny, @Zombie-Pimp, @Ronald-McDonald-LoL, @MrChambers, @53xy83457, @AKA-38CAUTION and @Wegra. As a result, this will be our biggest tablet giveaway ever!
Flash Forward Jam
NG is hosting a Flash Forward Jam. We’re gonna surprise people with a bunch of new interactive Flash creations, running in browsers this January thanks to Ruffle, after Flash has been officially removed. Over $2,600 in prizes!
Pixel Day
Pixel Day will be January 23rd and there will be prizes for the best animation, games, art and music. If you are down to sponsor Pixel Day, use the donation option on the Supporter page and PM me a heads up you donated towards game prizes.
Current Pixel Day sponsors are @JohnnyGuy $200, @AnonymousAlchemist $200, @SrPelo $100, @SantaSeven $100, @1DarkVoid $75 and @53xy83457 $50, with NG tossing in $400 to bring the current prize pool to $1,125; almost triple what it was last year, with room to grow!
Please Vote!
We’ve been getting a lot of uploads this month and need help with the judgment process. Every new movie and game uploaded to NG goes through a judgment phase where it stays or gets removed based on audience votes.
To vote on under judgment entries, browse the purple column in the Classic Portal, or visit these dedicated movie and game listings.
We’re dealing out Double XP through to the end of the year, so you can vote on at least ten items per day to log 20 XP.
