Hey look man, my name's "I-smel". What I lack in smarts, I at least pay back in honesty. Boink!

Who to favourite on Newgrounds, and stuff I'm doing

Posted by I-smel - May 20th, 2013


Here again to talk about Newgrounds' best feature: Favourites.
I favourite some seriously cool people, and the feed at the top of my page is great, I get so much cool art and music all the damn time. Here's a sample of some o the people I follow on Newgrounds:
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
midimachine - Makes really cool electronic and chiptune music. Check out his new ambient concept album Perpetual Motion, or more crazy upbeat stuff like Victory Road and Four Chord Tropes For Dopes
Pegosho's art is goddamn perfect, and he has a style that's really distinct to himself. If I dedicated myself to just art, I'd go straight for this.
Ephyse also has a really unique rendering style, and ontop of that is capable of some really charming and interesting character concepts.
Lenko! Where'd he go? Lenkobiscuit is one of the people I follow because they had such an awesome creative identity a couple years ago and slowly faded out. I wanna know that he still exists as soon as he submits something new, cos check out his back-catalogue of art on NG, it's like nobody else. I also wish NeoLight would come back.
SineRider, on the other hand, is at the top of his game. He produces so much fucking music, it's a miracle that it's all that goddamn good. SineRider is mostly slow, ambient stuff like this acoustic bossa jazz or bassy country guitar and whatever music words I'm supposed to use on this.
M1asis a fucking nut
If this art from MikeLuckas does anything for you, he's got a tonne of it here on NG, and draws for comics on his website MikeLuckas.com
I can't describe ElleBirdy23's music as anything less than fucking stone-cold amazing.
The idea that I have 8 times as many followers as AntiSkill on this site is straight fucking messed-up, I am serious.
I'm talking right now with Gerkinmann over on his page about the Newgrounds portal system, and Tom Fulp joins in after a few comments. Remember that the conversaiton goes from the bottom-up.
and that's newgrounds! There's more, but I have to cut off somewhere. Following these guys puts a stream of sweet new art and music on your front page.

Here's what I'm doing right now
I've brought back Secrets of Gaming
. I had this dreamy idea a long time ago that I'd expand it into fake news in time for E3. So I woke up the other day and saw one or two tweets from people saying "I miss this thing" and I made a weak attempt to get back into it. I have to ask though: are the news ones not fucking funny?
It's hard to tell right now cos there's only 2 of em, but I get a creeping feeling that they're fucking lame. Please tell me if they are, cos I feel like the regualr secrets are really good. Oh also if you have any ideas or suggestions, seriously post em cos I was not prepared to bring this back for very long.

Here's a Unity game I made in a little over a weekend. Arrow keys to move- it's Frogger
I wanna submit it to Newgrounds but it needs a couple more things to make it look nice and feel like a finished game, and a couple more laffs. I got a completely out-of-the-blue e-mail a couple weeks ago from Erik fucking Wolpaw who wrote Portal, Pyschonauts, Team Fortress, the other only legit-good comedy games in the world. He said a tonne of stuff about how seriously amazed he was with the intro to No Time, and how it's such a great idea. So since then I've got a serious want to look into comedy stuff again, and I'm back to being super fucking interested in it.

On weekdays I have infinity work to do on this unanounced game, I'll be moving to AMSTERDAM soon to start up the tinyBuild offices.


Comments

I noticed I'm not on your list.
rude.

its a short list

you have good art, make more stuff ffs

Huh?

I literally knew none of those people O.o

yeah that's the point!
I also follow Happy Harry, but everyone follows him already, so it'd be boring to say "check out this cool guy Spazkid"
Speaking of which, Harry does animation tutorials on Youtube now, so check out HUHA2, anyone who's interested in that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ om9HRkt9o
HUHA2 is owned by Weebl, funnily enough
wait how did I get on this topic

that frogger game was pretty funny,

GOOD

If it wasn't for your post I wouldn't have noticed that I wasn't actually following Lenko, although I had already favorited that piece of art you linked to. I added Antiskill for good measure, I already follow all the others except for ElleBirdy23, who is now under consideration.

Lenko was my partner for power of 3, but he ran off

Thanks for this list - I needed a big blast of inspiration.

actually, looking through old stuff, I am definately gonna write another list of people to follow next week.

That would have been a helluva game.

Lenko is such a boss.

Lenko is such a boss.

I love M1as

@Gerkinman Dammit that multi-post issue is supposed to be fixed, your Submit button didn't turn grey after the first click?

Gerkinman says no it didnt

Thanks for this! I wish I had noticed and favorited some of these people sooner. I'm not sure how I managed to overlook Pegosho.

actually, looking through old stuff, I am definately gonna write another list of people to follow next week.

Lenko's been chillin in deviant for the time being.
He says he would be relaunching rocketcrotch and im stoked for that.
i'm pretty patient for it, cause i know he'll do it justice.

also thanks for sharing this with us; it's kind of you to bring frontpage power to good use helping others!

his stuff on deviantart's more or less all here, and yea I also read somewhere that he was doing that

Midimachine and Sinerider are my fucking children. I don't let Parry leave the house if he's wearing too much make up :|

hey why don't you hire me I live near manchester i can make good art for you honest honest

Cos I'm moving to holland!!!

Some day I hope to earn your respect enough to warrant a favorite, until then, back to the grind!

More pony art should basically do it

More Results
