I might be interested in doing a TGF2 game sometime, I used to make them all the time before I began flash animation.

So, THIS is Newgrounds!

Posted by RupeeClock - July 17th, 2007


After 8 long months, Newgrounds has finally gotten upgraded, and immediately the only thing that comes to mind, is AWESOME.

I was worried that I may've been disappointed in the new appearance, as I imagine a lot of people may have been, but the graphical appearance is both pleasing and easy on the eyes, whilst very familiar.
From my initial look around, there's been some great improvements in many places, you no longer get re-directed to another page after voting, you can load SWFs in the same page, and your vote is shown in the same page as well.
I don't like however that tons of NG characters are basically whored out on the portal header however, we should be instilling the idea of a flash free-for-all, not "Make movies with these characters and earn brownie points"

Individually, I'm really pleased with my level 31 icon now, the butcher's knife kicks ass.
Looking at the new level icons, they're incredibly kick ass and all, even Pimp, who's level 50, has got to level up now!
What kicks even more ass is my new voting power.

Thanks for voting, RupeeClock! Vote on 4 more submissions and you can deposit your 10 experience points for today!

Your experience gave you a voting power of 10.05 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 55% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth 15.57 votes!

HOLY, SHIT, that's a lot of voting power!
That's even MORE than what the previous highest voting power was!!

Moving on, the bytesize player is a great and welcomed addition, a miniature showcase for authors who wish to submit to it is very nice, you may have even noticed my clip on there, it's possible you'll see more in the future as well.

As far as the secrets go, I can see that they haven't changed, yet at least, hopefully soon.

I can see on the portal frontpage that there's an interviews box, makes me wonder WHY since so few are made that Legendary Frog and Pikanjo are still on there. The best of past dates is pretty cool though.

One thing I love is the inclusion of NG elements for the public to download, this will make authentic looking NG flashes look even better, haha!

I like how you can simply glance at your portal submissions now, and see if you have new reviews, I appreciate this feature greatly because I take the effort to respond to every last review, even some of the especially shit ones.

For the time being, it seems that many options under my account settings are greyed out, so I guess that they will appear later.

So, this is my first post for now, I'll be updating this now and then sharing opinions and updating you on my flash movies as I make then now and then.
Until then, here's a screenshot of my upcoming Clockday movie, SleepEasy.
You'll be able to find more in the NG Mag alpha here.

Hopefully, this unexplainable slowdown will go with time, the server still needs a lot of tweaking in many places.
Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go customise my nice little user page and get right on back to animating this thing!

EDIT: And also, a big hello to Sonucais.

So, THIS is Newgrounds!

Hey Rupee, just around here checking how it works. Well, I have to continue... right... I'm quite confussed with the the cange <=3

Tell me, can you reply to this and edit that script you did?

Yes, I can respond to this, and yes, I can edit new posts freely. :)

I can also delete your post, and even ban you, but why would I want to do that?

Yep, I saw your little flash (the first one from your player) on the front page. I'm going to see if I can have one in there too!

If you want a shot at it, make a bytesize clip like it, no audio, same dimensions, and send a SWF file of it to Tom, if he approves, send him the FLA. :)

Your right ruppee. :) Since this new face lift of NG. I hope there is more happiness to come. Seriously. :)

Hopefully, yes. :)

But hey, I'll probably still get pissed off at the idiots that inhabit this place.

I am still trying to get the Deity whistle(using the Rage's abusive reviews topic) and finding more things to blam/protect. GIVE ME PROTECT POINTS LOL.

Really, I am finding more shit to blam and more movies to protect(especially Clock Movies, 2 if it is ok/bad, 5 if its NG good).

The deity whistle is not easy to obtain, haha.
Reviews are really the way to go to get whistle points, but be sure to flag bad submissions too.

ya seen the new lvl 1 picture? PLUNGER! X3

Haha, of course, well, a lot of people say the plunger before the redesign even.

Apparently I completely missed out on being level 16

It was supposedly "really nice" and everything.

I don't think you like me very much NO HTML, PLEASE

Yep I got my imaginitation back so cause my brother put me in a headlock for a minute and got me a new game for DS when i regained conciousness And also on a different note that half of my happiness comes from watching your flash
... Can I have a cookie?

W00T!
