LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Good Morning Newgrounds! We now have more taglines from The Tagline Thread! wavetro has quit YouTube. Weretoons is featured in P-Bot's Daily Feature again this week. Will Smith punched and cussed out Chris Rock at the Oscars, that was... awkward. The Newgrounds API has been getting tweaked. The Voice Acting Contest is BACK! That's just a small sample. Thank you all so much for continuing reading. I hope The Tank Tribune has become a part of your weekly routine. Without further ado, here are the hip happenings of Newgrounds!

@deathink had a great idea one day. What if you could listen to Newgrounds Audio Portal while browsing the site or working on a project for Newgrounds. It was one of the site's most ambitious projects. It would become Pico Day. Although the Flash version is outdated, it would grow into the Newgrounds Radio we have today. Tom Fulp became deathink's biggest fan. He even has his own Emoji set you can use on Newgrounds. This wouldn't be deathink's last project. Next week, we'll actually talk about another project he has done.


"The inspiration was simple, I love listening to NeoGeo musicians while I work, but hate having to stop and reload a new song every couple minuets. So I started working on what would be know as "Pico Radio", HOWEVER, when it was about 90% complete, I fried my computer. I lost "Pico Radio" (and about 4 years of other projects and assets). I told TomFulp what happened to my PC, and how I not only lost "Pico Radio", but how I also lost my new game engine. Tom offered to fix my PC for free, but more importantly he told me not to worry about losing my new game engine, because now I would have the opportunity to make a better one. And he was right. I remade "Pico Radio" and it was superior in every way, not only aesthetically, but the file was smaller, faster, with a better sound quality and I could now have an infinite number of songs on a playlist. I never took Tom up on his offer, because I could always remake everything better. You can see the original version of "Pico Radio" here."

Work has been quite exhausting for me. Not my day job, I've gotten that pretty well managed. Writing here on Newgrounds. I've been getting The Interviewer back under control to where I am doing new stuff and getting through the backlog as well. The Tank Tribune I'm looking to simplify the process in its creation. My ultimate demon is procrastination though. I do have a schedule to keep me on track though. Hopefully I can get some well deserved rest in the coming days. I hope you all have a fantastic morning and I'll see you all next week.

AAAAAA

HOLY SHIT NO WAY!!! Dude thanks so much for the shout out!!! I got inspired to start drawing last year after getting into Newgrounds through FNF and seeing all of the awesome art here. The community here has been nothing short of amazing and it feels cool to sorta be apart of that. I'm gonna keep working on improving my art and try to get more involved with the community. Thanks again, this is seriously so cool to me!

I'm going to fix the mix of Home so it's more presentable, but thanks so much for the shout out!

*Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme*

There's always something interesting on the tank tribune, keep the good work!!!, procrastination is also one of my worst enemies.

I'll be honest I was pretty upfront in the intro thread but didn't anticipate being called out like that in a newsletter, lol. Props to all the attention toward Fandeltales though - that is one highly-anticipated sequel that paid off for so many.

Woah, just saw this because I was mentioned as a featured composer! That's pretty freaking cool :D

Well this is an extremely well put together post, and I'm absolutely loving the layout! Very high effort, I'm definitely looking forward to the next one B)

I could go for some picola right now. Work has been hell on 18 wheels today.

Glad to see Mr. Dink Giygas was a big hightlight.

I love reading these !! they honestly make me so excited and motivate me alot !!!

shit is so nice :)

Amazing! thanks for the mention!!!

This is a great way to share the wonderful stuff everyone is contributing on Newgrounds! I wasn't aware of all of these amazing people! Also thank you very much for the shout out!
You guys need to be featured on the frontpage somewhere so more people are aware of your newsletters! :D

YOOO HOLY CRAP I DIDNT EXPECT TO BE ON HERE???? thank you so much for featuring me!!!!

Didn't expect the Derpixon detail to be added lolol

one small correction: I will continue posting things to Newgrounds but they might not be movies, just various creations in general. thanks for your hard work on this newsletter!

@DextaGethood What if I told you that this is all written by one guy

Home mix is now done ?

I loved making Pico Radio.

Thank you much appreciated

~X~

ayoo! thanks yet again for the audio feature, dudes! i appreciate this so damn much. <3
