The randomly selected voter of the month and winner of $100 is 100816! Congrats, guys!

The winners for the Cereal Box Art contest will be announced shortly.

Musicians have until the end of April to enter the Pico Loop Contest, in collaboration with the upcoming Pico Day on April 30th! Pico Day prizes total $15,000 in CASH, so if you haven't started on a Pico game or movie, you still have two weeks left to participate!

I wasn't planning to make any new collection pages until after the redesign launch, but fans should enjoy the new Double Dragon collection page. Now if ROG would just dust off that Abobo game...

[jonthomson]

Some awesome games this month.

[NISMOelite]

Wow, Artillary Live got first. That somewhat of a surprise.

Fun stuff.

[eWhabs]

Cool, at last some update!

[M4KBOT]

Yeah, the forum pages were lookin a bit bare without the usual "NG NEWS!" at the top.

Some nice submittions this month.
The top two movies were unbelivably obvious though.
Still deserved it mind... Even if Xombie chapter 9 was just a blatant commercial for the book :P

[MisterDielectric]

Hell yes for Cool Court.

starring Nachos the crosseyed cat.

[Casualty]

Yes, I was waiting for an update too. It was pretty empty up there without the shiny red "NG NEWS:"...

Also, great update! I'm glad Miss Dynamite got 5th place and I can't wait for the cereal box winners to be announced.

=)

They get 15,000$, we get 250$.

These all seem like standard animations from popular authors or series this month, nothing out of the ordinary, but congrats to them. :)

1. Artillery Live
2. Bubble Tanks
3. Smash 2
4. -> World Domination II <-
5. Cannon Bods

I can't say I really played any except Artillery Live, I played one match under judgement and got killed quickly, but it was well done.

RUNNER-UP MOVIES:

6. Throwback the Duck Ep. 1B

Haha, $500, so close.

9. Mega Man: Home Movie

That's too bad, I liked that.

10. :: Smokin' Smokers ::

What the fuck is THIS doing here?!

11. 300 - The Collab
12. Mango

Nice, those were cool.

17. CC = place to B - Collab
18. The Waterman Movie Teaser

Nice.

RUNNER-UP GAMES:

6. Bloons

I liked that game, but it was still buggy.

You sure you didn't just pull out a random number there Tom? XD

The winners for the Cereal Box Art contest will be announced shortly.

Cool, I'll check that out soon as it's announced.

AGAIN with the Pico Day. :)

What would be the point of not realising new collection pages?
Eitherway, DD is nice.

[kidray76]

Artillery Live was a shoe in for first.

[NegativeONE]

Gotta say I'm surprised about Cannon Bods. Seemed like a forgettable minigame to me. Also very surprised Fancy Pants Adventure World 2 Demo just barely made it on the list. It won the whole monthly contest on Kongregate.

[solidsnake342]

Animator vs. Animation II deserves it.

[M4KBOT]

I was annoyed that Out of Sync wasn't on the top five.

it really wasn't that good.
of course i can't make something as good as that, but really. it's not that good.

It was pretty good. As good as the first I think, but not as original. Which is expected from a sequel.

[kodiakclock]

P.S. I sent you a PM about it yesterday.

[Dash-02]

But Industructo Tank is not even up there >:] That sucks

[UnknownFear]

Congrats to everyone!

[SickDeathFiend]

[ramagi]

We need all games this month for the winners, there were too many that deserved to win.
It was hard to choose.

Jesus CHrist, I didn't stand a chance. I thought people would have forgot about those. :/

10. :: Smokin' Smokers ::

lmao this beat me? Now I understand why so many authors get pissed.

11. 300 - The Collab

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. So close, It was SO CLOSE.

15. Trendy!

It's an honor for me to be on this list. I really wanted to win $250, I wanted a plaque to hang up in my room, but alas, I guess I was outdone.

16. O-two
17. CC = place to B - Collab
18. The Waterman Movie Teaser
19. Cool Court
20. Primal War 11

Well, considering what I was voted better than, awesome.

An overall good month, BUT DAMN, I WAS GOING CRAZY FOR THIS UPDATE. I WAS WONDERING EVERYDAY IF I WON $250 OR NOT. D:

[JonBro]

TOP MOVIES

Animator vs. Animation II deserved that Monthly 1st...and I know what I'm talking about when I say that.
Xombie Chapter 9...That shouldn't be up there. Sure, the graphics are detailed and nice, but it was just a blatant advertisement with very little story development.
I hadn't watched all of Eres Veneno ++ yet, but from what I saw it was pretty good.
Throwback the Duck's graphics are fantastic, and although it drags in other areas, it still managed to be entertaining.

TOP GAMES

Artillery Live was great, too. I would imagine it's extremely difficult to pull off a decent online game, and it was the most addicting one I've played.
I don't get the big deal with Bubble Tanks. You go around inside bubbles and shoot bubbles at bubble creatures. I don't see a real goal in the game. All I see are bubbles.
I'm going to be cheesy here and say that Smash 2 was "smashing". I love it when a game like Breakout and well-produced special effects come together.

Congrats!
