TAGLINE: SUPPORT CREATORS WHO MAKE THINGS THAT ARE ENJOYABLE INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING ON TWITTER

@WonderSchwifty


LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Good Morning Newgrounds! Sorry for the absence of an issue last week. I didn't have as much time to work on my projects as I would have liked due to my day job. It has been a stressful two weeks. If you're an essential worker (a.k.a. sacrifice) then I feel you. Today's issue is going to be covering not only the goings on last week, but the week before it, so this is a huge issue! I hope you have plenty of coffee and snacks, and with that said, let's get started shall we?

@The-Great-One

NEWGROUNDS MEMBERS LOOKING FOR WORK


I am looking to cut this section from the paper in the next issue. All I tend to have is just commission pages. Although I have no problem with highlighting those, I wish for this section to be for those looking to do offer their talents and skills. Perhaps it will change into something else, but for now, I am leaving it blank and cutting it.

The first Flash Game to ever be published onto a home console! Alien Hominid turned 18 years old! Your UFO crashed and the FBI are after you! Taking queues from Metal Slug you have to blast your way through.


"Dan Paladin and I were making goofy Flash games together and one day he sent me a drawing of the yellow alien. I was in the mood to make a Metal Slug style game, so we ran with it and made the original web version. The video game company Dan was working for later shut down and one of his co-workers, John Baez, had the idea of forming a new company to make a console version of AH. And here we are with the Behemoth!"

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. Here are a few games to play to unwind on this Sunday Morning.





These past two weeks have been exhausting. Trying to work as a manager at the deli and keep this up is not easy. I've been working on finding a way to make this more streamlined and easier on me in time. I have today and tomorrow off of work and a large backlog to get through. I've also been reformatting The Interviewer, slowly, but surely. Thank you all for your patience and understanding last week, it really means a lot to me.

Awesome stuff! This is a great way to discover some new art!
Thank you for putting my song in the playlist <3

This was a really good issue. Keep it up

LOOK THERE I AM GARY THERE I AM!!

Nah but in all honestly, I'm happy to support NG. You guys do great things with the site!

I LOVE @hyptosis ! And Alice is Dead is one of my most favorite series ever.
Great work as usual. I love that you do this! YOU are the best!
Is there any way we could add Clock Day to the calendar (the 15th)?

Thanks for the mention. Proud to be a supporter and contributor here. God bless you all and keep NG rocking! :)

Aw shit, we got news now?!

Yeah sex is cool, but have you ever been mentioned in a news post on newgrounds?

Great post once again, man! It's crazy to think that Alien Hominid is already 18 years old.

Nice haiku, btw. Seems oddly familiar... (;

Whoa, thanks so much for the feature! Happy to be among so many talented creators here and looking forward to contributing more to the community!!

What's this?? OwO

THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING MY MUSIC! I was not expecting that at all. Thank you as well to everyone who enjoys it!
