alright, it's been a moment so i figured i type out a few words to note what the hell is going on and to properly thank everyone involved;

~3 weeks ago i released my flash forward 2025 submission

and a week later, a lil update. now, here's the thing - this update was supposed to be bigger - and not only that, but it was supposed to be the first out of numerous updates, to finish up some features and continue expanding the internet for a while.

so why isn't the update bigger then? glad no one asked, happy to answer! i fucked up. or maybe Flash fucked up, not sure, but i do know that the stuff planned for that bigger version of the update is all done, and is in the project's main .fla. however, i can't get Flash to export it. no errors (like the infamous no memory one, love that one, all my homies love that one) or nothing - the exporting window just disappears, and Flash in turn becomes unstable and unusable until restarted. while there's no memory error message, i am almost certain it's a memory thing - though i've ended up allocating more than 1tb total to page files at certain points so i don't know.

been away for some time, so now i'll try one last thing to try and get this stuff out - nuking every trace of flash from my pc and attempting a clean install. this is a risky one, as there's already issues (API stuff) opening the project file on different machines/different installs. so, a few things can happen:

• everything completely breaks and the file explodes
• nothing changes
• it magically works™

let's hope for the last one, i guess.

thanks for playing and/or reading through this diary entry lol you're the best FOR REAL!!!!! even with the missing content, the reception has been amazing and i'm really happy that people actually engaged with the game like it was intended; i've seen people come back to play for multiple days, or go on for hours in one sitting - absolutely insane, i genuinely didn't expect that!

now to properly thank everyone for their contributions and to actually specify who did what;

BIG THANKS TO

@MihaP for handling the stuff i couldn't (he actually knows how to code) such as the AOL Runner, the scrollbars and the browser back/forward buttons - he also did some share API magic but, uh, yeah. oh and the CD Burner!!!!!

@bergmik and @Krutches for helping me out with writing all those fucking websites, they did around 20 between the two of them

@Mantis @MalFromed @bro-son @Cyberdevil for throwing some graphics my way to fill up the internet;

@Mantis did the main category buttons on the NetTowns homepage, as well as the abandonwear button.

@MalFromed delivered a few wallpapers, helped with the AOL guy running, and let me use his older stuff for the NetTowns homepage logo, as well as the Homo Guy found in the AOL Runner.

@Cyberdevil did a bunch of NGTV logo variants for the last Christmas Marathon and i recycled one for the NGTV website.

@bro-son did the assets for the lil guy talking to you from the Dick Pills ad - voiced by @bergmik

@Sro and @TeffyD for the 3D Tunnel Demo - @Sro delivered the visuals and @TeffyD did the music. worked out very well, i think.

@sntnc for the fancy Winamp music - 90s rave bros rise up

@NickSenny and @Krutches for letting me use their pictures for some of the webpages

@53xy83457 for giving me The Robust Anticheat System™ a year ago, for windowz XP 2012, which is so good i used it AGAIN

@Noves for polishing up some writing a while ago, for a failed project, that i ended up recycling for the game

and @Dungeonation for letting me bother him with dumb Flash questions and actually helping me out instead of telling me to go fuck myself - real MVP

see you all soon with some exciting stuff!

oh and here's the mandatory shameless ko-fi plug GIVE ME MONEY THIS IS A THREAT

no cool closer image this time, sorry, love you though

hows it going bros my name is pewdiepie

last night, or rather this morning, we squeezed out Windowz 98 NetTowns Edition - a sequel/prequel of sorts to last year's Windowz XP 2012 Professional!

lots of stuff is missing right now, as getting it all functional on time was pretty wacky. there's a pretty hefty update coming Monday to make up for the missing stuff, though.

with the update you can expect mostly desktop/Windows stuff - software, games, etc. and just a tiny bit of extra internet content - there's enough of that already anyway! for now, there's over 70 websites and over 100 pages in total to explore via the browser - have fun! OH YEAH there's also some games (in the game) that you can play, and even compete for high scores with fellow NG users!

you can check out the game here:

the meat of the game is exploring the fake internet contained within - and there's a lot, some shit's funny, some isn't. a bunch of websites with solid variety, and of course all over the place presentation/quality wise. basically, it's a lil GeoCities full of schizo ramblings, personal blogs, fansites, and all the other shit you might expect from something like that.

here's what people have to say about it:

"It seems like an exercise in quantity over quality"

- Kwing

"It's tiresome and I refuse to play it"

- fuckoffasshole

"I did not expect to read Everybody Loves Raymond fanfiction..."

- Void

"I showed this to my mum"

- CappyCatll

"One of the best things I've seen all year"

- BlueMonday1984

"You'll be hearing from my lawyers"

- Bill Gates

and you can check out last year's game here:

thanks for reading, and playing (if you do)

see you very soon!

how's it going bros my name is pewdiepie

another year's passed, and I'm now officially OLD. it sucks, but let's not talk about that; a lot of cool stuff happened this year - so prepare for a wall of links and a few paragraphs here and there ALRIGHT LET'S GO

THE BEGINNING

started the year same as any other, not really doing anything, but this time that period was somehow filled with some projects - old and new, some were mine, some were STOLEN and some were just helping out people on their stuff

GAMES

after that, I did two games (I'm no programmer btw lol) - one for the Flash Forward jam, and the other for Pico Day. both of these were very well received and even placed highly in their respective events. absolutely insane, really, as I never thought I'd see the day where one of my things ends up securing a spot among the top Pico Day submissions - my 13-year-old self is screaming right now. thanks again, everyone, for the support and I hope to see you relatively soon with some bigger and better stuff

the story of how these got made is intertwined and short, so I'll just get that over with real quick ok? please bear with me;

was gonna do a Nene's Interactive Suicide ripoff for Flash Forward, and when I got Flash up and running again after a loooong time, nostalgia won and I simply had to go through my NG Dump and look at old stuff. got two friends to do it as well, and with that the idea to present old .swf files was born. decided to go with a Windows XP (fuck you frutigerbros, XP is king) aesthetic and, well, things got out of hand.

at one point, while working on the Professional Edition update, I wanted to remake Pico's School and have it inside Windowz. this didn't happen, obviously, mostly due to me underestimating the amount of time and work needed to pull it off. Tom threatening to kill me and my family over music didn't help either, so we (@MihaP and me) wrapped the update up as soon as possible, cutting some stuff we had planned.

a bit later, as Pico Day was approaching - I figured it's time to resurrect that Pico's School remake idea, and it ended up morphing into Citizen Pico: Pico's School IV - which admittedly was supposed to be a lot bigger and have actual puzzles instead of just dragging boxes around, but hey, I did the whole thing in less than a week - and I'm no programmer. it is what it is, and I'm happy with it.

PUKEBOMB SHENANIGANS

around the same time as the aforementioned games, I got a chance to fuck around with some @PukeBomb stuff (thanks to my best friend @septicsebi) which was pretty cool as I've been a fan for I guess a few years now. all of these are certified BEST PukeToons and this is an objective fact, not up to debate.

(still waiting on that frontpage btw WE WERE ROBBED)

I also bought out the company, but more on that some other time.

SUMMERTIME LOVIN' - LOVIN' IN THE SUMMERTIME

spent the entire summer in a borderline empty mountain village (pop. ~50 elderly people + me) growing peppers and daydrinking. it was epic, but it wasn't fruitless (and no, I don't mean the peppers)

did a bunch of stuff while up there, most notable of which is hands down the second NGTV collab - NGTV Summer Bash

huge thanks to everyone who came on board and made this project a reality - it was a step up from the first collab and a blast to work on. very grateful people trusted me on another one of these after I butchered the first one - hope the subsequent projects made up for that.

as the end of the season was nearing, I decided to resurrect the beloved hit series Ducks n Drugs with BRAND NEW wackyzany adventures EVERY MONDAY lol

I also got to do the thumbnail for @scottwjsm's DS Collab. was working on a submission, but a series of unfortunate events stopped me from ever finishing it. oh well, maybe next time, I'm just glad I got to participate in any capacity:

DECEMBER DECEMBER DECEMBER

December was a huge month for me! the third NGTV collab came out on Christmas Day - with a Tankmas premiere (courtesy of my best friend @MrShmoods - or as I like to call him, MrSchroods) and it's a fucking beast! full of cameos, surprises, and great shorts - it's one of the biggest things I've worked on. clocking in at 109 minutes, it's basically an anthology feature. this was completely unexpected, though, and it caught me off-guard - but somehow we pulled through and got it done on time.

one of the surprises I mentioned above is none other than A Charlie Brown Christmas Reanimated - a project that was slowly cooking throughout the entire year. at times it seemed like we wouldn't make it, but somehow we did. unlike NGTV itself, this one was a secret/closed collab - meaning I had to stay on top of not only getting it done in time, but also getting everyone involved. it was a lot of invites, a lot of talking, and a lot of scheduling shenanigans - but we did it. we fucking did it. I've used all the lil tricks I learned over the years to make it happen, and seems it paid off.

I can't put into words how thankful I am to everyone who contributed to this (these?) project (projects?) and making it (them?) grow to this size, giving us all a chance to say we were in a project with Tom Fulp himself!

speaking of the Tom Fulp cameo, huge thanks to my best friend @NickSenny for handling the filming, and of course @TomFulp for actually agreeing to do it!

it was all very last minute, and I forgot to let Tom know about the script and the props/costumes - but even without prior knowledge of these things, he was great and, from what I hear, pretty lax about it. legend shit!

oh shit almost forgot - I also made my cartoon, DONOR, with minor help from @bro-son - thanks man!

and that brings us to the very last thing of the year, a PukeVisualNovel

this was originally supposed to be something else, and I wasn't even involved with it - but things fell through, and I jumped on board to put it together last-minute so their (actually) hard work doesn't go to waste. not a big fan of the genre, but for what it is - I'd say this one's pretty cool.

2024 was by far my biggest & most active year on NG! made some friends, made some stuff, and made a bunch of hotsauce.

sure, I've made some mistakes too, mostly regarding people I associated and/or worked with, who turned out to be pieces of shit in one way or another, and even though all of that's over now and they're gone from my projects - I'm a grudge-holding guy, you know - so I'd like to extend a Special Fuck You to them. you know who you are. fuck you.

that's all folks!

no, wait, hold on!!!!!

can't end the post on a "fuck you" - come on.

so uh what's next????????

TWENTY TWENTY FIVE

some big things are happening, and also some bigger things.

I'm not allowed to talk about them yet, I don't think, plus not everything is set in stone right now - but hey, be on a lookout - trust me. will make a proper update regarding this stuff when the time comes.

one of these things should have its festival run this year, if all goes well, and it's about damn time! we were working on this for years now, and it's my first experience with working on a studio-backed project, rather than just silly online stuff. should've taken less time, but we had a lot of issues early on in production because of Covid, and things just never got back on track afterwards.

OH SHIT ONE MORE THING



I got interviewed by @Aalasteir recently - go read about my sick pepper sauces and stuff:

here's this cool NGTV Christmas Marathon poster by @PD-Cartoons & @Medvis to end the post BYE

btw how do I recover from being old???!!!?!???! pls help

how's it going bros my name is pewdiepie

yesterday on Christmas Day we released the third NGTV collab, and by far the biggest one;

somehow it ended up clocking in at 109 minutes - which is insane, and it was hectic putting it all together but we pulled through and released ON TIME for the first time ever

(it even had a Tankmas premiere)

not only that, but the whole thing is filled with surprises and cameos, and as an open beginner-friendly collab I feel it truly does justice to "Everything, by Everyone" - and on that note I want to thank everyone who participated in any capacity, we could not have pulled this off without such a great lineup!

one of the aforementioned surprises in the collab is none other than the Christmas classic, A Charlie Brown Christmas! well, kind of. we didn't really have the funds to get the rights to air it, so we reanimated it IN SECRET OVER THE ENTIRE YEAR

it was a tough project, and at moments it seemed like we wouldn't make it (same with the overall NGTV) but somehow we pulled through, and got it all done in time - one could say it was a Christmas Miracle™

the whole lineup is great - everyone who came on board (for both Charlie Brown and NGTV) brought something unique to the table and everyone did a hell of a job! I for one am very happy with the end result, and I hope most of the people who watch it are too!

a really cool thing to me personally regarding these projects is that they feature some people I have grown up watching and admiring, and getting a chance to have them on board of something I'm trying to do was absolutely incredible - and something I never expected could actually happen

Merry Christmas

and see you all soon
