Hey Newgrounds, I've got some news about NG30, the collab celebrating Newgrounds' 30th anniversary!

First things first, though, for those just hearing about it: @Whirlguy, @Mantis, @Jamriot and I are working together to build a collab bringing animation, games, music, voice acting, art, and literature into one big project, building upon the 20th Anniversary collab: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/666610

Here's some info on the other collabs we're running:

Audio, hosted by Whirlguy (no spots remaining, AFAIK!)

Art, hosted by Mantis

Literature and Voice Acting, hosted by Jamriot

Animation TBD!

For the game collab, we're looking for devs who would want to contribute minigames! Details about theming, the tech, and deadlines are available here in my previous post. Quick reminder that game pitches are due by March 24th, and final submissions are due by May 25th!

Devs in search of devs

When I sent the first post out, a few artists said they were looking to collaborate with coders, so I'm giving them a shout-out below to give them some visibility!

@BoiledMilkz - An artist in search of a programmer! In their words: "If any programmers need help with art for their game, feel free it hit me up! I can make simple graphics for your game sort of in the style of PICO-8 Celeste and the warp zone levels in Super Meat Boy." (I can also personally vouch for BoiledMilkz as someone who's very active in the NG community and knows their NG lore and characters!)

@EPICio, @BaconAwakenComix, and @AnassAnimationPro are all artists who expressed interest in finding coders/designers to work with.

Also worth repeating for anyone interested: Godot is a very straightforward engine to pick up, requiring little programming experience to get the ball rolling. Especially if you're making a simple game, like a dress-up or an arcade shooter! If you have an idea but you're unable to find a coder, please feel free to reach out to me and I'll help as much as possible. Your idea might be simpler to execute than you think!

A Discord server?!

That's right, we've got one! Please pardon the dust while we're getting things together - and if that link expires before you're able to join, please let me know! Just share your role and the collab you're aiming to join.

Feel free to reach out if you've got any questions! Things are moving, and it's been super exciting to see!
