dont wanna spend too much time on writing this, so I'll just drop a few GIFs. The theme is "Combine 2 incompatible genres" and its kinda a romance/topdown shooter so here you go! (art by @FuShark)

Hopefully this will be done tomorrow!

Yall know what that means....

Ludum Dare 41 starts today! I'll be participating, and this would be my third Ludum Dare. It's likely that I'll stream a bunch of programming and design on my Twitch page over the weekend, so make sure you follow and check on it and shit. I may or may not be doing all the art myself, dunno lol. I have a few ideas for games but will have to see what the theme is first of course.

And if you're on the edge of wanting to make games but haven't fully commited or finihsed a game, I'd recommend participating! It ends on Monday and game jams are cool as hell so try it out if you're interested!

Someone that Digi knows, stumbled upon this pic on tumblr. Digi then sent it to the dev chat and man this is some good stuff. I think this is the first time I've seen fanart of anything I've done so this is kinda the coolest shit, and I thought I'd share.

I'd like to thanke Tom for keeping Monster Mashing up on the frontpage for so long lmao like damn at the end of the month, it would've been up there for 2 months! Probably helps that we also have a nice little mobile version that runs pretty alright heheheh. And thank you to the artist, 'oogtarded'. Go check em out on tumblr they have more hot stuff over there: http://oogtarded.tumblr.com/

Just droppede some tasty music. But if you're reading this I assume that you may have already seen that, and either listened to it, or ignored it, which is fine by me lol. 

I've been fiddlin with music lately and have been satisfied with what's come out of it so far, so much that I actually used one of my own tracks in one of my own games for once! I've mostly been using the same few plugins and they have been working out alright, however it's gettin samey so I think I'll find some fancy new plugins/synths and play around. Music is what brought me to Newgrounds, and I've been interested in making it since. So it feels pretty good to be able to make stuff that's tolerable I suppose. I bought my foster moms old keyboard. When I was living with her, I was pretty much the only one who played it lol. I got it a few weeks ago for about 70$ and I think it's rekindled my musical interests. If I get a good mic, I might record some of that. 

In other news, I've been working on my Pico Day game, which will be a top down shooter. Here's a little demo clip:

I've been livestreaming a majority of the process on my Twitch channel, I usually stream froum about 10AM-2PM PST so drop me some follows ayyyy and drop in and shit I get into all sorts of shenanigans: https://www.twitch.tv/ninja_muffin99

Also in the Supporter Party forum, I have a Supporter Only preview, I'll be posting updates there, maybe a little devlog. You can check the post here: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1426980/2#bbspost26173524_post_text

the best of the month got announced and Monster Mashing got 4th?! Whaaat? Lmao I kinda feel dirty because I forgot to do voting myself heheh. But hey at least I do my daily voting. But I don't get a trophy on my profile so WHATS THE POINT.

Anyways thanks all!

Edit: also wtf I still can't publish this newspost to the frontpage? CUCKED AGAIN BY @TOMFULP

No bullshit, no memes, here's a video I like: https://youtu.be/rHP-OPXK2ig

I found this vid in the /r/MealTimeVideos subreddit. It's a vid where a guy upgrades his phones memory from 16GB to 128GB. The thing I most like about this video is that it shows all the practice, and failures along the way, truly showing the process of customizing his iPhone. It's also in Shenzhen, China, which is widely known as a hub for electronics and hardware. I've never been too interested in electronics, but Shenzhen shit inspires me. Also check out this little doc from Wired about Shenzhen while you're at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJ5cZnoodY 

Because I'm going to bed. I'll be back once I get a good night's rest
