Hey guys! Im new on NG! I make cool music and I might make a game or artwork (if i can figure out how lol) and can I please be scouted? Also, can my friend sthakker be scouted too. He makes really good music, much better than mine. Also, I designed my new logo. I dunno what else to say in this comment, so... Peace out, I guess? I dunno

You were doing something that felt modern and cool and it felt like the public loved it. I want web gaming to feel like that again, I think it has a chance to once HTML5 gaming is more stable and once people accept that there's a wide expanse between NO GAMES and GAMES PEOPLE PAY MONEY FOR... A great area to grow, learn, get feedback and meet lots of cool people. So many people are making downloadable games right now that no one is playing, because they think they have to be making downloadable games now.
This so much. It was awesome. It's a shame there is nothing really comparable to flash - not that tons of people didn't try.
I'm still totally buying you a beer next time I'm in the states.

Aw no dude, thanks - but we were all pretty terrible. All the stuff we made was super shabby but everyone was really helpful and constructive and we were all really passionate about it. No one cared about the money, we cared about making stuff and having millions of people enjoy it. _That_ was the dream.
Now that I'm after an actual CS degree and about 10 more years of industry experience I can say that we were terrible professionally. I used to think I was awesome at ActionScript - lol. Now that I'm involved with several ECMAScript proposals and actually contribute to real some open source projects I'm only starting to understand what a terrible coder I was back then.
We just had a ton of passion and would hack on things tens of hours at a time - the platform was really open. There isn't anything even close in terms of how easy it is to make fun to play games.
If you look at Tom's Pico's School from 1999 as an example it was made with Flash 4, I don't know if you ever used that but it didn't have very many coding abstractions, you'd use state an GotoAndPlay (and GotoAndStop) to navigate between frames as state. You didn't have real concrete data types and such - but it's a really fun and well thought out game.
People can still enjoy it over 15 years later. The coding is something you can teach a kid in a month, the art isn't stellar but people today have to learn _so friggin much_ just to get started. Nothing even comes close to how easy and fun it was to make these games today. Things like Unity or HTML5 engines aren't even remotely close. Hopefully, HTML5 will be there at one point. Hopefully.

I've been hanging around Newgrounds since... 2006ish, this is my second account (my old one was from when I was a kid, it's embarrassing).
I'll continue to enjoy my stay, I just wanted to say hi to some of the newcomers. I love how new people are still finding and using this site.
