🎃 <-- That pumpkin over there believes ya

Thanks so much for mentioning our contest, @TomFulp! I'm really looking forward to the entries! 💖

Hey! I have some ideas on how to get around the image limit in the contest news post. If you have any other questions, hmu here, that post, or just DM me!

A rare nighttime update. Really caught me off guard.

hyped for the ooktacular

Can't believe this hadn't crossed my mind already!

Unless we make a temporary limit extension to accommodate, I'm thinking I could gift a month of honorary Supporter status to anyone who is entering the contest. So maybe the post could be updated to tell people to PM me ahead of their comic release and I'll gift them with one month status.

For anyone wondering, multi-art projects created while a Supporter will retain their image limit after Supporter status expires, so you could still manage your comic after the month expires.

I smell a mild exploit:

Note: multi-art projects created while a Supporter. If the Art Portal were to be moved into the Project System (according to my findings, it will soon), someone with only one month Supporter could theoretically use that month to create as many blank unpublished Art projects as possible (about 11 pages), then fill them out with finished projects after their Supporter runs out.

Someone theoretically could do that but I think we'll have to just accept that vs doing additional development around that scenario.

Oh hey! One other Collab to watch: Kamen Rider Collab! https://chunky7453.newgrounds.com/news/post/1386858

need weed.

Added!

@TomFulp If the multi-art (not the comics) are there on the Art Portal, will there be icons indicating that it is a multi-art?

for example:

This was a little doubt i had when multi-art was announced, but i forgot to mention It.

It's not the biggest hope for me but it would be neat if they did have icons.

And that's the right attitude ^.^

Haha well it's fixed now. Thanks so much for the generous offer of Supporter status! That's so awesome! 💖 I've updated the contest post to include this awesome gift, and I'll change the post again for the launch!

ohhhh my god multi image posts on newgrounds are going to be CRAZY, this is so exciting!!!

Oh some nifty things going on

~X~

Off-topic but how about reopening the general forum at the very least? It's been long enough that I think things should have been calmed down somewhat after all.

Nah. Come to supporter forum. You can be a chucklehead (within reason) all you want without politics.

I'm a Kooky Halloween animator who would like to join.

That's a lotta stuff, probs only gonna do madness day and sweet 16.

I am SO hyped for the Yestercades thing. Especially since of the uncertainty if the TooManyGames Meetup will happen again. And not too far after this year

Yay!!!!! This is my most favorite time of the year on newgrounds. I love Halloween and I personally feel we do it best!

I just sent you some money.

Mine too! Hi Seven!

Hi hi hi!!!!🎃👻

I think it would be cool if there was a comic section on the front page, that way NG could turn into a viable place for comic artists to post their work.

I've been keeping up with quite a few comics on NG in the past few year, one of my recent faves is the Mari Gold one:

would love to see more people see NG as a primary source of comics, so they might come back more frequently?
