'Bout time to post!

Posted by Fireshadows - August 1st, 2015


 Now i haven't made a new post in a reeeaally long time. My passion to visit Newgrounds daily died out as the years went. Lot of things happened. Too much to mention them all in one post. I am at the time of writing, drinking a large cup of coffee and i don't want to drink it all up before finishing this post. Funny thing to mention at least that of all...

 However, i am 18 years old now and returned to my over 5 year old account for one thing. Share, share ,sheer sharing. I have under my several years absence from Newgrounds, decided my fate. I aim to be a game developer. I've got so many great ideas for games so i couldn't be wrong about what i need to do: Make the ideas come to life.

 I've been making some ideas come to life, mostly in the form of music. These loops and songs in this account is created by me and i created them for my games, which are right now nothing more than abstract ideas.
I decided to use my old account on Newgrounds to submit my creations and to share
 I've been submitting audio for the most part since creating music is one of the most fun and enjoyable part of creating a game, but i also want to submit other things like my first game i made ( which falls under the standard of what Newgrounds accepts ), novel ideas ( but the ideas aren't copyrighted so i won't risk having them stealed if i told them ), my first animations ( good looking enough, but they also falls under Newgrounds standard ).

I actually do sketch and draw ( drawing my game characters is also fun, especially when i come up with new ones in the process ) more than making music but that is only on A5-sized papers. I have yet to learn draw digitally with skills...BUT i will try to submit more than audio on this account.

AALSO! I have been submitting audio before writing this... and i have this thing i do when i submit. I always submit halfely done music, and i tell listeners that the loops will be updated. They do get updated, yes of course but i began to think if that is really a good idea... to update submissions? This "update" thing was invented since my friends told me to stop spamming my music to them trough Skype and get a life... then they told me to go submit them somewhere on the web and send them the link to my music. I immediately thought of Newgrounds. Then i spammed links to my music to show them my progress.
 Now i think that is a stupid idea and i should submit finished submissions. Submissions after this post will be finished musics.

Now i think this 'five paragraph essay' is enough. I've covered everything i wanted to say and i will have fun submitting whatever i have done here on Newgrounds. I also mostly hope people will like my creations.
 I dont usually do posts but i think it's important that i can blog and such so i'll try to post more often. Who knows? Maybe my english writing improves? Then i should totally post more often!
 Well look at that, my large cup of coffee isn't empty yet.

...But it is cold.

TL, DR: Teenager aims to be a game developer and returns to his old Newgrounds account to submit his creations, mostly audio but would like to submit other things too. He draws very often too but lacks skills in digital drawing.
 He wants to change his style, instead of updating submissions, he will submit finished creations. Would like to post more often to improve his english writing.
Coffee got cold.

that is fantastic, i feel the same way essentially i remember visiting NG when I was like much younger like 13 or 14 or something and watching animations and playing games, and at the time i don't think my mind could wrap around people like us who just make animations and games for other people to watch and play was that tangible.
that's fantastic though, other than game dev are there other things on NG you've been wanting to try out and submit other than animations and audio? for me it's almost like i had been making music for such a long long time that i didn't know much about animation, flash, etc enough to try out my own thing until recently i began making things left and right and practicing over and over

Yes, as i wrote before! I draw alot too and i do wish to upload my sketches on Newgrounds, but i am unsure if that would be acceptable since they are just drawings on paper.
Instead, i made a website to my drawings and i've been wondering to link it from my NG account. I should probably do that... when i have uploaded more pictures there.
Lately i've been drawing my characters digitally with pixel art, since it is easier than drawing in photoshop and i can easier picture them as video game characters when they are 'pixelated'.
But jeez, it takes time to just finish one pixel art. I do plan to upload one of my 'pixelated' characters when it is done.
I also would like to upload my game here, which is a arcade shooter with limited features. But i just don't know if it good enough to stay in Newgrounds. I'd like to try upload it, at least. If it's not good enough, i could just always link to a website where it is, from my NG account.

I've been testing and doing various things, from art to games and i've been wanting to upload them all.
