just poppin in to say a few words,

roughly half of 2023 has passed and I'm yet to post any animations. posted some art, though, so it kind of balances out.

anyway, working on two new shorts - one should be done relatively soon (1-2 months) and the other one is in very early stages right now, but I'm hoping for a late summer release.

on top of that, contributed to some projects that should come soon as well. did some backgrounds for one, and animation for another. pretty excited to see how they'll come together.

how you doing, people?

when is general reopening?

HELLO NEWGROUNDS HOW ARE YOU THIS WONDERFUL EVENING

FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS ME AND MY BUDDY @Epifon311 HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS SONG AND WE HAVE FINALLY FINISHED IT. TAKE A LISTEN, ENJOY IT, BASK IN ITS GLORY AND TRY TO IMAGINE ALL THE HARD WORK THAT WENT INTO IT. ALL THE SLEEPLESS (IN SEATTLE) NIGHTS, ALL THE CREATIVE CLASHES. ALL THE UPS AND DOWNS, AS THEY SAY. OUR BUDDY ALEX HAS DIED WHILE WE WERE MAKING THIS SO WE ARE DEDICATING THIS SONG TO HIM. ALEX, YOU SLY MOTHERFUCKER, HOPE YOU'RE PROUD OF US AND WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN SOON FOR THAT BEER. IT'S ALSO DEDICATED TO MY SISTER'S FRIEND'S MOTHER'S PET CAT, WHO IS JUST SUPER COOL AND SWEET.

Happy spooky month everyone!

I made a thing! For real. Check it out

But beware, it's very wholesome.

Originally I planned this short for last year, but life got in the way, so I remade it for this year. Huge thanks to everyone involved for all their help and patience.

Go follow these people, right now.

Don't forget to stay hydrated, folks!

I am not gonna go into it myself, as I am simply not the right guy for the job, but please consider clicking here to read about it.

If you are not familiar with The Internet Archive itself, you might know one of their projects on its own - The Wayback Machine. If that isn't helping, just take a look around right here and you'll inevitably see how valuable it is.

The news I posted is around 2 weeks old now, but still relevant. Please consider spreading the word about it, and maybe even contributing to the archive if you have some neat stuff laying around. I know I did.

Cheers!

nah, I'm lying.

I was working on a game with some friends though, but it fell through. Really liked the assets I made so I upped the main menu background loop to the art portal:

it was a pretty funny game but we got fucked with timing so yeah, it's not looking like it's gonna be finished.

here are some more screenshots i have, but no gameplay! that's gonna remain top secret for now

main menu:

race selection screen:

VERY UNFINISHED game over screen:

hope you guys enjoy these! and hope you enjoy the animated piece on the art portal linked above.

next time i return, i come with animations. finished ones. trust me.

see you around and thanks for reading

well, almost.

Short I was working on had to be postponed. Shit happens.

It will come in the 2nd half of November.

Would be sooner, but I'll be busy with work the first two weeks.

Got a fun gig I'm very excited about, hopefully everything will turn out good with that.

See you all soon.

Happy Holidays Newgrounds!

I did a thing, check it out

Thanks to @Saminat @Noves & my buddy @vertikkaldnb for helping me out with the voices, much appreciated fellas.

Some parts ended up being rushed due to me being dumb and starting late, but hopefully it's all good.

Ayy, Newgrounds, there's a thing on your portal

The thing being Crackeggs. An animation about two crack-addicted eggs. Yes, I know.

I started this project ~2 years ago but, uh, stuff happened. You know how it is.

There's some amazing people involved with this, and I'd like to thank them for helping, and also - sorry for taking so long.

I will now proceed to tag people so they actually know this is out (and remember it exists) so, if you're not one of em, go follow them. All of them. They're great.

I swear.

Before the script, there had to be an idea - and that's where my ol friend @Krutches comes in. We came up with the idea together, one day, somehow, for some reason. Obviously, after the script is written there needs to be an all-star cast, and boy is there. @littlbox and @heyopc as the main characters, Mike and Doug, I am not even sure at this point who is voicing who, but it's in the credits if you must know. Backing them up are @makestuff @mkdanon and Pathetic Industries (who doesn't have a NG account, sadly)

Alright, cool, the script is done, the voices are in.. What about the animation itself? Again, an all-star team was assembled, and after a successful heist - we got to work. @BoredKid and @Grilbot did their own thing, and both of those things are amazing and are the reason this didn't (I hope, I'm writing this while it's still under judgement) get blammed. Then, @AgustinGates and @pecheneg helped me bring the rest to life, and it was one hell of a ride. In the end, my buddy @MihaP saved the day in the last second with some additional animation. BUT WAIT, there's more! The one and only @SroSocial made original music just for this (and I didn't even pay him, how about that) which sadly had to be shortened to fit - but you can listen to the full version here - https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/967736 and on top of that there's three more songs by this madman in there. Of course, there's more, @Epifon311 helped me out with lots of sound-related stuff, and there's even his NG exclusive hit in there, and also here - https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/906210

Alright, I think that's everyone. I got most of the sounds from free sources online, and some are from some kind of Sony pack, I don't know, Agustin hooked us up. About the music, there's some real songs - but hey, I followed fair use!

That's it for the wall of text and the crediting. Go watch the thing, or don't if you don't think you'll like it, that's cool. Have a good weekend Newgrounds!

hey there boys and girls, here's the thing

a buddy of mine @Epifon311 recently made a NG account and even more recently he started flexin' with a diamond on his wrist; https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/886675

just here throwing that link to the people of newgrounds

in other news, got some projects coming out REAL soon.
