“NEWGROUNDS SUPPORTER FEATURE - SUBMIT YOUR TAGLINES TODAY!”

@TheTankTribune




LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Good Morning Newgrounds! There are quite the number of collaborations happening here on Newgrounds. If you want to know more about them then check out the Calendar below. It’s been updated to include dates for all collaboration deadlines and events. Naturally The Tank Tribune will cover upcoming collabs. Instagram is looking to profit off of its creators, sneakily. The taglines at the top of each issue are now a Newgrounds Supporter Feature. I am excited to be back to writing The Tank Tribune for you. I have vacation time coming up from my day job, so I’ll be putting some more time to Newgrounds. Clock Day is coming up next week. Now, here are the hip happenings on Newgrounds!

Urgent message for Instagram Users


@GuardiasVA has updated us on Meta’s new policy. For those not in the know, Meta is the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Meta’s new policy will make it to where they can use your photos and videos without your consent. If you’re an artist or animator who posts your artwork or animation to Instagram, keep your wits about you. Art Growth Club posted a video on how to not allow Meta to use your data.

The week can get people down sometimes. With all of the hustle and bustle and action packed drama that entails our lives, sometimes it's nice to just kickback and relax. This week we’re taking a look at some of the games from 2006.



If a game is not loading properly for you, then install the Newgrounds Flash Player. There are instructions on how to do so. If it is still not working or you don't understand, create a thread in the Where is / How to / Help! Forum for assistance.




These weary bones have grown tired. Despite my age, I feel older than I should. I can’t operate at the workhorse levels that I used to. Stress doesn’t help either. Since I was 13 I’ve had a bad back due to scoliosis, my spine curves right at my neck. I’ve had bad knees. I’m going deaf in one ear. About ten years ago is when I had to get prescription glasses. I’m an old man trapped in whatever the hell my body is supposed to be. I’ve had to slow down my workflow because of this. I’m still dedicated to giving my all to Newgrounds. I’ll see all of you next week!

“STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION”

@TheTankTribune




LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Good Morning Newgrounds! I was unfortunately not able to produce a large issue for The Tank Tribune. My day job has been killer, plus July is always a hectic month and it’s bleeding into August. I’ve been planning a group birthday party for my brother and my best friend, we were all born in July. I don’t even have enough time to really write a letter here. Next week I should be able to focus on Newgrounds stuff and catch up a ton. This week’s Sunday Phonograph features submissions from the Audition Round of the Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch! Enjoy your morning Newgrounds!

@Razur-Draws has announced this year’s Newgrounds Midsummer Rumble. The name has been changed to SUMMERGROUNDS SHOWDOWN. It is a month-long art challenge where you draw a character from the prompt sheet for each day, starting August 1st to August 31st. Everyone can participate in the challenge! From Razur-Draws, here’s how it works.


GUIDELINES


  • Each prompt theme is just a suggestion, you can draw whatever character you wish from that specific prompt.
  • It's okay if you only draw the prompts you like the most, don't be afraid to skip a day if you don't feel like it.

New Calendar!


@PsychoGoldfish has released an update to the Calendar here on the site. This paper will still focus on the Calendar aspect with a link to the Calendar page, the paper will not be listing all upcoming events each week since it has become more streamlined. @liljim is working on a lot of things under the hood of Newgrounds. If you want to help out, become a Supporter here on Newgrounds.

Clocks of the BBS 2024


@Little-Rena is getting ready for Clock Day this August with the 4th Anniversary of Clock of the BBS. The goal is to draw a clock persona of anything and send it to her. If you’re a Supporter you can be part of this BBS event and others in the Supporter Party. She has also been the host of the Newgrounds BBS Awards since 2019!





POLKAMANIA!


@RWappin has recently done an animated segment for Weird Al Yankovic’s newest music video, which you can watch below! He once did an animation for one of Weird Al’s songs entitled Albuquerque: THE MOVIE. He’s also been working with @psychicpebbles and @MichaelCusack on the show Smiling Friends.






iu_1243167_8044563.webp


@whimsical-wife is hosting a new collaboration. The goal is to draw a new variant of your favorite Pokemon. It can be regional, origin, or any other form that has been shown in the series. You will also come up with a new Pokedex entry as well. Here are the guidelines below.

GUIDELINES


1. You may draw a minimum of one Pokemon and a maximum of 3 Pokemon. Whether you draw 3 unique Pokemon or choose to create an entire evolution line is up to you.


2. The collab will be T-Rated, but only for darker themes in your Pokemon's Dex entry. No sexual themes or visual gore on your designs.


3. Only use regions that are referenced in actual Pokemon media. regions from the main games are fine, as well as regions from spin off titles. just dont make up a region.


4. You're allowed to use a Pokemon another person has used, but only if you select a different region or gimmick to base it off of. (i.e, if someone made a Unovan Charizard, it would still be okay for you to use Charizard just as long as it isn't based off of Unova.)


5. Please try to keep Dex entries brief! I'd say 180 characters is about the limit, but it's very much preferred if you dont push it for space reasons.


6. Submit your image with a transparent background! If you can't do that yourself, let me know and I'll try to make it transparent for you.


7. The maximum canvas size for entries is 1000 x 1000! going smaller is okay. you entry may be submitted before the collab goes up! the collab tag is #pokemon-variance-collab


8. The deadline is October 15th, 2024! hope that gives everyone enough time. The deadline may be extended if needed.


9. Both un-scouted and scouted artists are welcome, but you may have your entry turned down or asked to be revised if it seems you made something rushed and low quality just to get into the collab.




iu_1055672_8044563.png


Tell Me Your Favorite Pokémon and I'll Describe Something About You!


@TheMusicalManiac is back again. This time she is going to describe something about you with your favorite Pokemon! She’s been pretty accurate once again. Share your favorite Pokemon and see what her mystical powers can do for you!

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Good Morning Newgrounds! Sorry this issue has come out late for my Patreon Producers. My day job has made my work week exhausting. There’s not too much to this issue. I have a lot going on in July and the rest of the Summer. I will have something bigger for all of you next week and every week after that. I would also like to make a note, please stop sending Friend Requests to The Tank Tribune account. If you want to be friends or message me about the paper, please do it through my main account. I typically try not to tag myself in papers, but it’ll be at the end of this Letter From The Editor part. Here are the hip happenings on Newgrounds!

Why do you draw your style?

@AM-ZYNK is curious about other artists' styles for their art. @blind3dna is still looking for her own style. @ZenonRetna bases his drawings off of cartoons he grew up watching and by drawing on 8 x 11 paper, the limited space adds a challenge.

Small life update!

@stupidvampire has been going through living conditions hell. The public transportation was in a small forest town and not in a major city, plus it was only for college students. The landlord messed up his lease so the first month he was living with an animal hoarder. The public transportation situation made getting a job hard. With no job, no money, which meant he was serviced with a “Pay or Leave” notice. Luckily a friend on Discord has helped them with a place to live. They’re still open to doing art commissions. Check out his works below!

This issue came out a little late on Patreon, I apologize for that. I’ve been hard at work at my day job and by night I’ve been working on the Newgrounds History section.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR


Good Morning Newgrounds! This is the official return of The Tank Tribune! It’s a new era for us all! Welcome to my Patreon @YendorNG! Happy to have you here! The Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch has made its return! The Best of June and the Treasure Hunt winners have been announced! I recently spoke about removing the Featured Artist section of this paper, due to how the licensing worked here on Newgrounds. I put more thought into it and realized I had no idea what I was talking about. I made a thread in the Art Forum, to gauge some thoughts and possibly find answers as to whether or not I would be misusing people's works or Newgrounds as a whole. I am pleased to say that the Featured Artist section will be staying on The Tank Tribune. Today is my birthday, I'm 34 years old now. Without further ado. Here are the hip happenings of Newgrounds!

This week’s featured artist is @razorvampire. He joined Newgrounds just last month and has already posted quite a bit on the site. He’s also posted in a thread featured here on Newgrounds with his feelings on art. Check out his works below!


“The path of art is like an infinite spiderweb, there is millions and millions of ways to express yourself and to take the path of art, but the hardest part of being an artist is figuring out why and how. How should you express yourself? Would anyone care? To help with these thoughts, ask yourself “what is the bad reason I do art and what is the good reason I do art.” AND THEN CHOOSE THE GOOD REASON!”

Have You Ever Thought About Giving Up Art?


@ColinsCreations is curious if other artists have thought about just giving up. Mostly due to non-feedback from their works. Share your thoughts on your artwork and your experiences as an artist.




let me interview you, you interview me!


@uleezy is looking to learn about other Newgrounds members' works. Through interviewing one another. In other words, they interview you and you interview them. The process will involve audio interviews and will be posted on both Newgrounds Audio Portal and their Instagram.




Is Traditional Animation Dead?


slothyykittee is wondering if traditional 2D animation is still being done today. In other words drawn frame-by-frame. There is a discussion of rig animation, digital frame-by-frame, and the history of animated movies.




What's your workflow?


@c4ndl3W1ck wants to know what your workflow is for animation? He’s typically all over the place because he doesn’t know where to start. Share how you make your animation from beginning to end.

You may remember this section of Newgrounds being called Flash Portal History. Although Flash was the foundation of the site, there are many parts of Newgrounds that have helped the site. It is time to recognize the parts of Newgrounds that have helped it evolve on the World Wide Web.


There is nothing this week. Be prepared to see not only movies and games from Newgrounds past, but audio, art, contests, events, and everything else that the community has made for Newgrounds and the Internet for almost 30 Years!

LATEST INTERVIEW: JamesHeart

@Aalasteir has been talking with creators, learning their stories and philosophy for nearly two years now.

Games you have beat countless times


@BlakeyTakeyTheCakey wants to know which games you have beaten over and over again and again. He himself has beaten Super Mario World and the first DOOM game multiple times. @Darkwhisperer666 and @Painbringer have also beaten the first DOOM multiple times. @Chlorruption beat The Binding of Isaac so many times, that they hear the tear splat sound in their sleep. Share the games you have beaten too many times to count.




Is PIMP still active?


@austin, one of Newgrounds earliest users from the year 2000, is wondering if another older user by the name of @Pimp is still around. Pimp has been with the site since 1999 and was the first user to reach Level 60 on Newgrounds! The whereabouts of Pimp and who he is has become one of Newgrounds cryptid lores.

The week can get people down sometimes. With all of the hustle and bustle and action packed drama that entails our lives, sometimes it's nice to just kickback and relax. This week we’re looking at the games of Treasure Hunter winner @bokononyossarian.



If a game is not loading properly for you, then install the Newgrounds Flash Player. There are instructions on how to do so. If it is still not working or you don't understand, create a thread in the Where is / How to / Help! Forum for assistance.




I am happy to be back on Newgrounds and just in time for the Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch as well! I am looking to expand my Patreon further and start newer projects to branch out more. I worked alongside Rex, covering the Southeast Game Exchange. That will be posted here on The Tank Tribune sometime in August, early September. Rex did photography for me for the event, so I’m waiting to get pictures back from him. Thank you all for reading The Tank Tribune and being a part of Newgrounds! Have a fantastic Sunday morning!

“WE DID IT”

@TheTankTribune




LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Good Morning Newgrounds! This issue will be the closing of an era for The Tank Tribune. There have been changes to the site that have been made in which I will be formatting a lot of sections. Featured Artist will no longer be a part of The Tank Tribune. The reasoning is a lot of artists have their licensing terms listed as “You may not use this work for any purposes”. I weighed a lot on whether or not it would be right to showcase someone’s work when they don’t want it used for “any purposes”. If I can figure something out it will return. Flash Portal History will be changing to Newgrounds History to include a lot of what makes Newgrounds one of the best sites to release your work on. This issue is containing just some General News. For those who haven’t been caught up, I have been dealing with memory issues as well as my day job draining me. My worst habit has always been putting more on my plate than I should. I need to find a proper work balance while juggling my personal life. Rex and I will be at a convention, the Southeast Game Exchange. He will be doing photography for me, while I cover the event.

Hello Newgrounds!


Great news! Things have been going better for me. Memory issues are still a problem, but not as bad as they were. I've been recovering slowly. The 100th Issue will be launching on July 7th! If you're a patron on my Patreon then it will be on July 6th!


Going forward, the edition will be in .PDF format that you can download through my Patreon. As a sign of good faith, this edition will be free to ALL PATRONS! After that, only those in the Producer Tier will receive this perk. Supporter tier will still get Upcoming Composers, Research Papers, and now Upcoming on Featured Artists!


I will also be cleaning up a lot of the Playlists on The Tank Tribune. With the new Playlist features it is high time that is done.


Oh and one more thing. If you're going to be at the Southeast Game Exchange this weekend, I'll be there reporting on the event! I'll be the guy in the Newgrounds T-Shirt next to the long-haired stud taking pictures!

It's been a couple of months. To make a long story short, I've been battling memory issues and have had some financial troubles as of late. Hospital bills will do that to you. I've been needing to focus more of my energy towards my day job to cover those bills. I've also been dealing with short term memory loss as of late. To where things have been, foggy. I'll be working on something and then within an hour or two I would have completely forgotten what I did. It's been a struggle, and things have been improving as of late. I've popped into the site to check in on the Treasure Hunt and see any new updates. That's been about it though.


Between working my day job and my memory, I've simply been trying to rest. Rest assured, my long term memory is still great, just the short term is what has been taking its toll. I hope to be back on Newgrounds here soon. I don't know when soon might be though.

@Anonymous-Frog




LETTER FROM THE EDITOR


Good Morning Newgrounds! Don’t panic by the title, this is just the last issue with only two digits, with next week being Issue NO. 100. That will be a grand time to celebrate. I remember back during The Interviewer when I hit the 100th Interview. Difference is that I had that planned out for a while, with a subsequent backup plan. I haven’t had much time to think about what the 100th issue for The Tank Tribune would be or what I should even do for it! I’m sure I’ll think of something, I mean I got six days right? Anyways… the Flash Forward Jam is currently underway, with the Treasure Hunt making its return soon! We are celebrating everything Flash related during this jam! Johnny Rocketfingers is making another appearance in the Tribune. Luis is back from Lithuania. The Tank Tribune is shilling Newgrounds merch. Without further ado, here are the hip happenings on Newgrounds!

PHP Update


Newgrounds works off of the LAMP architecture (Linux, Apache, MariaDB and PHP). The code has been updated due to depreciation. If you spot any bugs or having any trouble with parts of the site, update your findings in the thread or contact Tom. You can also look at Newgrounds Status Page to see how it’s running.




Sharing My Music and Sound Effects


Since 2016 @EricMatyas has been sharing music and sound effects with Newgrounds. He’s still sharing his works today for people to use in movies and games. With Flash Forward Jam underway, it might not be a bad idea to take a look. If you can donate to his works, he would surely appreciate it.

♝ Newgrounds Reading Challenge 2024 ♝

@Jackho has started the Newgrounds Reading Challenge once again. For this year’s challenge, The Tank Tribune will be featuring book recommendations and reviews from the members of this challenge. This week we look at what @Atlas has read back in January. Remainder by Tom McCarthy.


“This is one of the oddest books I have ever read. The prose is simple in a good way and flows with ease, which helps keep you focused. This story took me on a long voyage that had me questioning everything in the book and made me hyper-aware of trivial everyday things. Without spoiling anything, I'd recommend anybody looking for an awkward, unique, and very British at times story, to read this.”

If a game is not loading properly for you, then install the Newgrounds Flash Player. There are instructions on how to do so. If it is still not working or you don't understand, create a thread in the Where is / How to / Help! Forum for assistance.




I’ll make it brief here, since I am a bit exhausted to tell you the truth. I should book some vacation time for myself going forward. Fortunately that may become a reality next week. I’ll see you all for the 100th Issue!

Just an update where I have been.


@LordAndiso has been hard at work on a new album after recovering from appendix surgery. The album will be called Far Away. It focuses on being away from home and the feelings about it. The release date is looking to be in March.




Arsenal Online: 3 New Weapons!

@WilkinGames has released three new guns in the game Arsenal Online. The guns are R870 MCS, Signal .50, and Milkor MGL.





New old songs, and changes!


@Epifon311 has recently moved. The move has been in the process for two years, which is why they have been absent on Newgrounds. They have posted two songs. One that was previously on YouTube called Our Fire. The second song is a love song entitled Heartstruck. Check those out!





A Sine of Relief (Sine Wave Collab)


@Anonymous-Frog has shared a new music collaboration. The theme is making songs composing mostly of sine waves. A sine wave is this if you were curious. You can only use them in different pitches or subtle tones. Below is the guidelines for the collab. You can join the Discord here. Any questions you can message Anonymous-Frog here.


MAIN GUIDELINE


1. Main Rule: The majority of the song should largely consist of sine waves. Keep all other instruments to a minimum.


(some drums or harsher-toned instruments for example, can be used as a balance, or you could use nothing else)


Furthermore, the sines themselves can be modified in subtle ways (i.e. pitch reverb, distortion, filters, etc.)


2. Your song can otherwise be in any genre. Soft classical compositions, fast-paced techno, you name it!


3. I want to keep it E-Rated, so avoid explicit language/words.


4. Samples, synthesizers, VSTs, trackers, DAWs, Beepbox, etc., if it supports sine waves, you can use it.


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES


  • Submission Length: 1-8 minutes
  • You can make as many submissions as you want, provided they all total 8 maximum.
  • Submit a .WAV, .FLAC, or other high quality audio format (as long as it’s not crispy potato fries).
  • Share the file or private download link in either my DMS or in the Discord.
  • Deadline: May 1st

RELEASE GUIDELINES


You can publicly release your submission on Newgrounds provided you:


  • Wait until the collab releases, or sometime around the deadline. Let me know beforehand. Any earlier and you may need official confirmation.
  • Link to either the NGAP Collab Center or if applicable, the finished collab on NG (optional).



I increased my Spotify follower count by over 20% in a month by posting every day on TikTok. Here is what I learned.


@i9incher has been posting his works on TikTok and through that process has increased his followers on Spotify. With Universal Music Group pulling over 3 million songs from the platform, this is a chance for the small Indie artists and musicians to strike while the iron is hot. He has given a detailed analysis of his growth over the past month. He recommends this for musicians on Newgrounds looking to get their names and accounts out there. Read the news post for the full details.




I made a video game! What do you think?

Last Thursday, @shock-value’s Interactive Buddy would celebrate 19 years on Newgrounds, and it is still a classic to this game. During the Assassin Era of Newgrounds, this was definitely a highlight on the site. A little buddy who you could play catch with, tickle, and jam to with a radio. You could also beat the crap out of him, and apply a skin to beat up celebrity figures of the time period. It serves as a time capsule and one of Newgrounds finest games!

♝ Newgrounds Reading Challenge 2024 ♝


@Jackho has started the Newgrounds Reading Challenge once again. For this year’s challenge, The Tank Tribune will be featuring book recommendations and reviews from the members of this challenge. This week we look at what @Malachy has been listening to, A Wizard's Guide To Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher. Here is his review below.


“I really liked Nettle & Bone so I queued up the audiobook of another T.Kingfisher book to listen to with the wife in the car. We enjoyed it. There was some absurd humor in a 14-year-old baker being the last hope of a city about to be attacked by an invading army. Mona has to use her only magical skill she has, power over baked goods, to somehow save everyone she cares about.”

The week can get people down sometimes. With all of the hustle and bustle and action packed drama that entails our lives, sometimes it's nice to just kickback and relax. This week we’re looking at some flash games from 2006 to help celebrate the Flash Forward Jam!



If a game is not loading properly for you, then install the Newgrounds Flash Player. There are instructions on how to do so. If it is still not working or you don't understand, create a thread in the Where is / How to / Help! Forum for assistance.




Thank you to all of my readers. Last week I was not able to be on the site as much as I would have liked due to fighting a cold. I am hoping to keep The Tank Tribune at this pace, because March is going to be an incredibly busy month for me going forward. In the meantime, I will be keeping each issue up on Sundays and looking to fully revive my other projects.




The Tank Tribune is a part of Dohn's Desk Productions
