Congrats everyone!
Also, I think Pajama got misspelled in the body of the original post FYI.
HNY everyone! Hoping for some great things in 2026!
Thanks @tomfulp for keeping the lights on, this is the best creative online community on the web imo and I hope it gets the recognition + support it deserves!
Happy Thanksgiving! I replaced the old fogged out headlight assembly in the family car and smoked a bunch of meat for the holiday. Now sitting down to make a MASTER PLAN for the next few months.
Newgrounds always ranks atop the things I'm thankful for every year.
Just posting to see my new profile image shape.
Oh also, Trick or Treat Adventure went live on Steam today!
Might have to do with when different file types, not ALL .gif are uploaded in the same post?

I used to watched Unforgotten Realms by @sirschmoopy as I was growing up, and that heavily inspired me, but I stopped using Newgrounds for a handful of years after that and forgot about the site. I researched Halloween games to play on a lonely Halloween night and found Trick or Treat, and reminded of the fun I used to have on the site. He's actually remaking the game with a whole slew of additions, you can actually wishlist it on Steam here. Another game I really liked was called Wasted Youth by @GP-studios, really hoped that would've continued after the cliffhanger. I really enjoy horror and creepy settings, with an undertone of humor; hence why Harvester is another big inspiration for me. I also agree with @Aalasteir 's Stick RPG suggestion.

There's probably plenty of games I played when I was really young, obvious ones like the NG Rumble; and I am a huge Homestar Runner fan, so technically they have flash games on their site, but not here.
Hey, welcome back! Flattered to hear TTA was on your radar!
Thanks for mentioning Trick or Treat Adventure! We updated the description, but seems like there are still some outdated text characters in the short description...
Exciting to see the CC DLC go out and see the ripples it's making across social media.
I'm gonna keep shamelessly requesting people go wishlist TTA on Steam (please!)
Blech, sorry to hear about all the hubbub for something so obviously destined to make the problem it's trying to solve even worse :-/
Congrats everyone! Crazy amount of talent showed up this month!
Just mapped Buccaneer Battle!
Just mapped Ivan Drago: Justice Enforcer for myself (I don't have access to do it for everyone):
Arrows - move
Attack - Controller A = keyboard A
Block - Controller B, X, Y = keyboard S
Crouch - Controller LB, LT, RB, RT = Keyboard D
Just mapped the original Chibi Knight! (Super Chibi Knight already had controller mapping):
Soooo cool! Thanks so much @psychogoldfish and @tomfulp!
Happy B-day @tomfulp! Thx for making such a fun place to hang out online!
NIGHTMARE COPS NIGHTMARE COPS!
(I hope that's the announcement...)

I did make a repo for handling events from a mobile device's movement/orientation/gyroscope and reading those into Ruffle which was all I could manage for the event this year:
Github Repo: https://github.com/pestoforce/RuffleTilt

Your participation was sorely missed! However tilt controls in Ruffle is still quite swanky, I hope someone puts that to use if they haven’t already!
Me too! If no one else does it, maybe @Luis and I will do a remake of Luis Launch!

We just upgraded to php 8 at my work and it was a pretty major nightmare. Glad it went relatively smoothly for NG!
Thanks for the shoutout! FF Jam is my favorite event of the year! I hope I have the bandwidth to contribute again this year!

Where you using a template, or just the original default?
It was my first time in since the template release so didn't have any templates yet.

Twitt... er... X would need at least 500 software engineers to deliver such a product update... good jorb @psychogoldfish and @liljim!
Man, this is depressing. Wiesi was one of the greats, I don't know how to express how much I liked his style of game design. He had a real sense for arcade-like action which is not easy to master. I LOVED his games and looked forward to everything he created. He and I chatted a bit in recent years privately and I had hoped to collab with him on something. This is way too soon for how much more I think he had to offer us. This is a great loss to the gaming community. You'll be sorely missed Wiesi. 😭😭😭
Doki and jmtb02 win 1st in the monthly awards? What year is it?

Hell no! This is of my own make and vintage... of course, it's mostly copy-pasta from Richard III...
Now is the FALL of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of Fulp;
And all the submissions that lour'd upon our screens
In the deep bosom of the portal buried.
Now are our brows bound with victorious 5s;
Our blammed arms hung up for monuments;
Our stern SWFs changed to merry meetings,
Our dreadful Flash files to delightful measures.
Grim-visaged P-bot hath smooth'd his wrinkled front;
And now, instead of mounting barbed portal bots
To fright the souls of fearful users,
He capers nimbly in a Mind's Chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of an audio submission.
But I, that am not shaped for FN Funkin' tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous dating sim;
I, that am rudely @Stamper'd, and want @Luis's majesty
To strut before a wanton Penicorn;
I, that am level'd up of this fair proportion,
Cheated of feature by dissembling bugs,
Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my release date
Into this breathing world, scarce half-tested,
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That trolls bark at me as I halt by their posts;
Why, I, in this weak piping time of portal prosperity,
Have no delight to collaborate at any time,
Unless to spy my Grounds Gold in the sun
And descant on mine own deformed voting power:
And therefore, since I cannot prove a daily feature,
To entertain the fair well-spoken Review Crew,
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these "new grounds."
Design documents have I laid, inductions dangerous,
By drunken Tweets, libels and feature creeps,
To set my brother @WadeFulp and @PsychoGoldfish
In deadly hate the one against the other:
And if Goldfish be as true and just
As I am subtle, false and treacherous,
This day should Wade closely be flashlight'd up,
About a prophecy, which says that 'B'
Of Clock Crew heirs the murderer shall be.
Deposit votes... thoughts... down to my portal: here
Goldfish comes.
Thx for the plugs for CCTB HD and Portal Defenders: TD! Wish I was nearer to Philly so I could have met up with everyone!
I think you may have typo'd "Xbox Live Arcade" as "Xbox Live Archive" early on in that post... ;-)
