LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Good Morning Newgrounds! Welcome Back to The Tank Tribune! Last week was a huge issue of The Tank Tribune, with a lot going on here on Newgrounds. Some big news for me, was that a goal I always wanted on Newgrounds. One of the most trivial things you could ever achieve on this site, which took me being on here 17 years to happen, was that I became User of the Day! If you remember the old SOMEBODY IS UOTD thread, then you would know that late in the thread I released the lore that I was searching for this prestigious honor. I finally achieved it! I can retire from Newgrounds forever now! I won't though, there's still a lot to do and plenty of things to experience. The Art Portal got it's much needed update launched. You can multi-author pieces of now, multi-image support is available as well. This is not only great news for comic artists and writers, but for collaborations, contents, the possibilities are endless! jmtb02 has made a return to Newgrounds, with him becoming CEO of Armor Games. Yes, that happened and it is well deserved. The Best of August was voted on and the results are in. The pilot for a new show has premiered! In next week's issue, the Quotes of the Week will be returning to the Community section, and the Supporter section will be returning as well. It just goes to show, you never know what is going to happen on Newgrounds and where it will take you. Without further delay, here are the hip happenings of Newgrounds!

Elephant Rave 2 + Thank you Newgrounds <3

@jmtb02 has made his return to Newgrounds with a sequel to the popular Elephant Rave, with Elephant Rave 2. He has also been working alongside @The-EXP to remaster all of the elephant games into The Elephant Collection on Steam. During his absence, he was an indie developer for Kongregate and is now the CEO of Armor Games. He is also a father of two kids. All of this made him take a step back from game development for a while. We're all happy to see jmtb02 once again. Welcome Back to Newgrounds!

Prepare for Multi-Art / Multi-Author Art

An event that a lot of Newgrounds comic artists has finally happened. Multi-image support is now available in the Art Portal. There's the Inline support, which is an expanded part that Newgrounds has already had, just with more images. Strip support, for comics. As well as a Gallery support for multiple images, which could be useful for mangas. Also, Multi-Author support is available for collaborative efforts. The collages that can come out of this would be incredible.

This week is a little different. Instead of featuring one movie or game, we're taking a look back at 14 of them. All the way back in Issue NO. 15, we took a look back at when the automated Portal was introduced to Newgrounds in 2000. It is the foundation of Newgrounds, to where people can submit their own works to be judged by the members of Newgrounds. One feature that was at the top of the Portal for years was a collection of characters from various Newgrounds movies, games, and series. This was called The Gang. In the @Archive, a collection featuring all of these characters can be seen! Enjoy!

I have a life again, whoops!

@Synami has taken a step back from Newgrounds lately. She's going off to college and looking to becoming a part of society outside of the Internet. Her release schedule will be having gaps due to this. Good luck at college Synami! We eagerly await to see what you produce for Newgrounds next! Check out some of her music below!



hihi

@RairikuMusic is looking to hangout and chat with Newgrounds members! Send them a PM or hit them up on Discord! They like to draw and make music. Check out some of their songs below!



To be blunt (my inactivity)

@Taka has been off of Newgrounds lately. He's not making games and art like he used. His attention has shifted away from the site. He still plans on being on Newgrounds and is open to chat or answer any questions.

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. We're going to take a look at some of the art games here on Newgrounds. These games are not meant to be challenging, but either convey a message or be a beautiful experience.



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.




17 years on Newgrounds. Achieving User of the Day. Becoming a part of Newgrounds History. Many new exciting changes to the site. Having a great job, with vacation time coming up. Spending more time with Rex. Life is truly good. Thank you to my patrons on Patreon, my readers, my friends on Newgrounds, Tom Fulp, and everyone else who has helped me on this 17 year journey that has made me a better writer, a better person, and just an overall better human being. This site can mold you into something incredible. It is certainly true. Next Sunday will be another entry of The Tank Tribune. If things go well though, you can expect something brand new on this account. I've been cooking up some things here and there. I'll see you all next week! Take care and thank you for reading, reacting, and commenting!

Thanks for featuring one of my songs!

YOOOO tsym for featuring me and my band!! our debut ep is out now on all platforms. you guys are amazing <3

Super cool that I got featured! Thanks!

Is the art update actually out yet? Have you seen it?

Good luck to everyone starting college!

OMG !!!
I am truly extremely honored
I'm glad you like my work !!!!
Thank you so much 3>

Many thanks for featuring me on here! Turns out I'll still be somewhat active for a while, most of my college days are relatively short as of now :>

Thanks for featuring me as a composer! Super cool :)

I fondly remember Armor Games way wayyyy back, I think they made good tower defense games, but I don't recall a lot from that era. Stupid. Great. Recession. :P

Yeaaah boi.
PD: I like too the works of DaShahRach, have something interesting in the themes and elements.

EYOOO!!! Thanks for the shoutout! Yes, I am still taking requests. Sorry I'm so swamped with work I don't have much time to remix. LOVE YOU ALL <3 Keep em coming!

@Thetageist Not yet, but soon. The buzz is out there with the ability to do more with it under the Supporter status. I was probably a little ambitious in saying it has launched when it is in the pre-release stage now.

Woah my username is on here ??. So honored to be featured alongside many other wonderful producers/composers! Thanks a ton!

Thanks for the featured composer shoutout! I'll keep making more for Newgrounds in the future :D

Whoa did I win the haiku thing??
