Newgrounds is dead. Egoraptor is a Let's Player. Sleepycabin is dead. Harry got a real job and stopped caring. Fulp got tired of trying (which is totally understandable).

All is lost.

Also, Edd Gould is dead.

What will replace newgrounds?

Egoraptor is dead, he is Arin the Rapper now.

Who says anything is going to replace it?

Android and Iphone games?

Are you referring strictly to content, or to the community that made up Newgrounds? Because those are two different answers.

Egoraptor ended the moment GG got popular enough to live off of.
> yfw when some guy who flopped high school gets millions to play vidya while you struggle to make basic living

Newgrounds got replaced by Youtube, Vimeo, and game hub sites years and years ago.

Sup Forums is only noticing now because the stink of newgrounds corpse is forcing them to look up from their dicks for once

I really can't blame him. Making animations is completely stupid when you think of financially. He was a teenager when he made most of his animations, so he didn't really know better. If animation isn't his passion anymore, then I don't understand why he should keep doing it. At least he's funding other animators with those god awful GG animated shorts.

After years of literally forgetting Newgrounds existed; I found myself visiting them again. Mostly to see certain things that got blocked or require sign in on Youtube.

I always watched random Mario sprite movies. Bowser's Kingdom comes to mind. As for games... *rubs thigh* "HUH?!"

But I am le tired

>not owning a basic youtube channel
but why?

Pic related was the tightest shit ever

newgrounds.com/collection/joezombie

>random Mario sprite movies

Speaking of which when is the 2nd episode of the Super Mario Bros Z remake coming out?

>*rubs thigh* "HUH?!"

I still masturbate to those old ones that someone posted on some porn sites

I miss being able to make a living on youtube with content. Now it's either make 2 minute bullshit every two weeks or starve.

>want to check out lewd games I used to play
>wants me to login
Well that's new

They are trying to get better paying ads from adsense, but the requirement is that you dont have porn on your site. So they quarantined the porn to logged in accounts and use porn ads on those.

They have a HUGE backlog of cool shit from back in the day, but it's slowed down a bunch since the ship on web animation sailed.

The death of Newgrounds began in 2012 with the broken over-designed site rehaul.

I remember it was like six months or more before the movie submission system worked properly again, and to this day they have never recovered from the drastic drop off of activity the site suffered in that period.

I love Newgrounds. Always have, always will- but there's simply no way an operation like that can continue to thrive when Google has made themselves direct competitors (Youtube).

Pretty sure it died when they started to remove the bouncing girl gif

The newer ones are garbage. The old ones are the best, even if the art is stolen.

it's funny you say that because Tom recently started using "adult ads" on 18+ rated content because Google has Newgrounds blacklisted from their ad service (because, as previously mentioned, direct competition), which is why they really push the 'supporter' thing now.

You can always make content that people will continually watch instead of the lasted dank meme usually fight scenes gets a lot of views fast

It doens't matter if people watch your content, youtubes algorithm makes it so to earn something you can live on you need frequesnt uploads that are 10 minutes+ (like every other day). You can do it with animation.

Can't do it with original animation*. Memes and parodies you can. And letsplays and all that other bullshit still makes 100x.

Youtube isn't the only place to put videos you could do it on vimeo

True, but youtubes the only place you can earn from it really.

You can earn money on vimeo it's like old YouTube before youtube changed into vloggers and let's plays

Vimeo doesn't have the traffic/view base to earn anything sadly.

>Whole shitload of porn games got removed specifically for their content
When did Fulp go crazy

Ah, Remember the ads they had back in the day,
NO NOT THAT FAR BACK YOU PERVERT!

I think NG biggest problem was the decline of the FLASH plugin back in the day it had a monopoly on animated web content but soon it was just used to play video files(killing real player thank fuck)

Flash didnt port itself to mobile phones very well and that was its undoing, if they had made a good Android and apple version they might have lived,
but apple probably had a vested interest in killing flash so people would pay for a game they would get for free at a flash website

Well shit I guess patreon is the only way independent animators going to survive it's just most of them don't finish what they started or post once a year considering its what I'm trying to do. The only way is to advertise it on YouTube and see if people will watch it on vimeo

I would still make flash games only to grow interest in my game that I want to sell later that's how most indie developer started

I remember them trying to implement support for games made in UNITY 3D after the browser companies were already trying to stop people using plugins and who could be arsed installing a program like that anymore

STRAWBERRY CLOCK IS KING OF THE PORTAL

God, I just love Stamper.

you know people are still trying to make newgrounds relevant its just won't be as big as youtube

I entirely agree.

It's a weird feeling seeing all of these people who were popular on Newgrounds actually getting jobs as animators/voice actors. Almost like watching them grow up.

If they ever want to be relevant, they need to switch back to the old site design. They need to make it more early 00's.

also have you guies seen link related

man thats the only thing i liked about meet n fuck now their average tier but they're good fap

Jazza is more like businessman than animator.

The internet today,
I want to go home :(

what wrong with it user

Its like everyone just on the same few sites there was once hundreds of sites we all went on,
but now we see less and less. just the same few bland sites
Worth1000, Albino black sheep, and they all had a geocities or lycos site as noob artists wanted to look pro and there was not a real threat of censorship.

Today you have to disable "parental controls" that your isp put there every year, which is why we see less and less new talent and new sites

Uuuuummmmm, I guess ZTV is mildly amusing?

Everything else I found on there more recently that's decent is over 6 years old.

the new frontier is not new anymore

he does sponsor newgrounds alot for new artist or animator

>ITT: Oldfags complaining about change
You guys sound like people who only think the 90's was good.

YOU DAMN KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN!

BACK IN MY DAY I COULD BY A SODA POP FOR 10 CENTS AND GET A DOLLAR BACK IN CHANGE

>Ah, Remember the ads they had back in the day,
Come on d00d!! Click me!!

Classic.

>apple probably had a vested interest in killing flash so people would pay for a game they would get for free at a flash website

ding ding ding, we have a winner.
This, combined with the explosion of tablet devices almost completely replacing the laptop for the casual masses was another big nail in the NG coffin.

Everyone loves Strawberry Clock.

There was the guy that did Bitey's Castle and stuff like that. He did something new and short recently.
youtube.com/watch?v=JhJPd_AMOy4
I remember those animations being top-tier flash animation.

He has been on a bit of an off patch since before this short, but at least he was putting out tutorials and stuff.

anti-clock-clock will destroy him

Clasic newgrounds

3-Ali: An Hunter S. Thompsonian action flick with lots of guns. This just in, killing is now legal. Hahahahaha.

Everything is connected now.

Before Sites were scattered about and each had their own Motifs and themes to them.
>The Sonic Site.
>The Nintendo Site.
>YTMND
>The Movie News Site.
>The Pokemon Website(s).
So you can visit one site, but have to go to another site to check out something you wanted to see.
Newgrounds was kinda the place that merged all of our favorite things, which lead to growing talent emerging, creating new content themselves, and being the lucky "First fews".

Now You can simply go on Facebook and see the newest trailers, game reveals, and news on your favorite things.

I miss those days, it felt more simple and innocent, but that's the price of progress, sadly.

Egoraptor didn't get tired of making animations. Youtube just made it a retarded prospect to try it without significant outside financial backing.

Currently he can release three videos a day of him and a friend shooting the shit and each video is worth like $500. He has a whole staff running that and it is all ad-libbed. It's low effort work and should NEVER have gotten as big as it did, but Youtube specifically changed their algorithms to share videos that are longer, to give higher ad revenue to longer videos, and to share channels that post frequently.

That means Youtubes model is specifically encouraging people to spam their site with low-effort trash every fucking day.

Meanwhile, animators produce short videos and take months to do it solo. The ads are vanishingly small, and Youtube won't promote them because they post at a low frequency.

Arin has actually talked about all this more than once. He could spend two months of hard work slaving over a tablet, or he could joke about Sonic for thirty minutes and then get high for the entire rest of the day. And the worst part is that the thirty minute bullshit will always pay out better on Youtube than the professional stuff.

That's why animation is all but dead on Youtube and everything is just vlogs, top tens, and let's plays.

Steve Jobs went on the record explicitly saying he wanted to kill Flash. A lot of tech people want to kill Flash. Once Adobe bought it, the program was doomed. Ever tried to use that piece of shit to make animations? Save as a new file every few hours because Flash crashes frequently and sometime so catastrophically that it corrupts your file beyond salvation. I've known artist to give up in despair on major projects because of Flash instability. It wasn't even a 64 bit program until they moved it over to a subscription based service, but by now you may as well use Toon Boom if you want to pay a subscription to animate.

Maybe you guys should team up and create your own animation.

I remember my first Hentai game was Ganguro Girl.
I wonder if that one ever got finished or polished up?

Youtube will "Always" be around, but in the same way Newgrounds or Myspace will "Always" be around.
Something new will take it's place down the road and lure new people in as a "Creative hot spot for Amateur artists, video makers, and animators. Then after becoming mainstreamed, it will continue the cycle.

Now that everything is mainstreamed though, the "New Haven" will be okay for maybe a year or two, then be absorbed by corporate buy outs and normie shit.

I remember quite liking some MK vs Street Fighter and MK vs WWE stuff on there. It was part of a series

There was also this stick animation where a dude is told by a psychic that he'll die by the end of the day, so he decides to just saw screw it and blows up his old school. By the end he gets shot by a cop in the head whilst doing a backflip or something. Can't remember the name, anyone know?

Can flash animation be brought back?

I remember a game on there, where you were a spirit that came back from the dead to investigate your murder.
You could scare people to grow stronger to access new areas.
It was point and click.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

There is ZERO reason to care about Flash anymore. It's being phased out and nobody likes working with it. The only company that cares is Adobe, and they're changing Flash's name to "Adobe Animate".

"Adobe Animate" is still a buggy, crash-prone load of bullshit, though. Very few professional studios use it. You can barely even draw in it properly unless you know all its obscene quirks.

No and it shouldn't be, it needs to be something new.
There is no place for People anymore is the main problem.

Companies have taken control over platforms that allow creativity and capitalize on them, putting Red tape everywhere, and making everything seem like it has to be this way or no way.

We rarely, heard of any type of Copyright bullshit back during the older days of the internet, you could make your shitty Mario fan game, and no one batted an eye.
Now, Nintendo actively shuts fan games down, because it could be damaging to their IP's.

Either a "WEB 2.0" needs to happen, or we migrate to the Dark Web, and hope for the best there.

>Nintendo actively shuts fan games down
Welp, guess I better download that new release of AM2R then.

The thing with newgrounds is it bound us together as flash artists and connoisseurs.

it had a monopoly on web content, most of the top animators knew each other it was something we all knew and loved.

What else could bring us together, perhaps the ongoing fight for free speech could provide fodder for expression.

and crap like this makes me feel like im back in the day
youtube.com/watch?v=gLfVJVJhkKE

It covers very specific niches

You've got nerd humour, meta humour, artsy short stories, parodies, dark comedy, several chapters long action & adventure series, even a shitty 30 episodes long anime.

If you like any of these, maybe you can find something god

iPhone apps killed flash games by turning everyone into micro-transactions farmers. Youtube killed Newgrounds' nerd comedians who pretended to be animators.

Sorry user, they took it down. You can probably find a MEGA of it somewhere though.

Nobody expected the Newgrounds userbase changing to the point the portal system would actually get rid of classics.

The billion copycat sites ensure the porn doesn't dissappear at least. What got deteled, by the way?

Brakenwood is still a thing? Song of a bitch

aw yiss

did it ever get finished

It's kind of crazy how Nintendo is the only company that abuses Content ID to attack let's plays and other free advertising. It's probably really lucrative and goes to show how little help they need getting word out about their IP. Just one great big "Fuck you" to all their fans, and they launch a lot of "Fuck yous" out there. You hear about that guy who got sued for $6,000 because he was throwing Poke'mon themed parties during a convention?

I mean fuck. You start shaking down conventions and it's like you've declared war on people interacting with your brand at any capacity you don't personally micromanage.

Newgrounds died along with flash.

Sounds like every Japanese Company ever

and they only ever do this to western fans too

Bump

Pokemon GO was created by the Japanese empire to destroy us, or weed out the dumb fucks my marching them off cliffs
We probably need to make a newgrounds mirror and back up all the flash stuff that is going to disappear soon

>Newgrounds is dead.
but there are new animations every week. It's just not relevant

>You hear about that guy who got sued for $6,000 because he was throwing Poke'mon themed parties during a convention?
Looks like SOMEBODY likes to spout bullshit instead of actually reading about what happened.

w-why is flash dying?

Looks like somebody could elaborate, but then they'd lose the smug sense of self-satisfaction that comes with thinking they know something somebody else doesn't.

The program is coded like spaghetti. It's crash prone. It's full of security holes. It's expensive. All its competitors function better than Flash does.

Flash is dying because it's being obsoleted on every front by companies not run by know-nothing, rent-seeking, dumbasses.

Tom Fulp does video games with JohnnyUtah, Spazkid, and Stamper at Behemoth, so they aren't decommissioned. I also know the Madness guy is working on a legit Madness game with the Swain.

But what about Harry? I didn't hear anything about him quitting cartoons.

Macromedia was still running the show when it was still expensive so cant blame adobe for that.

But the older versions of flash seemed to run better(as far as i remember)

If Macromedia was never bought would they have been launching a better version of flash or even dropped the price to increase use?

I wonder.

>>Harry
youtube.com/watch?v=JjwuoGPXWF0

i think its fairly likely it would have improved under macromedia, but i also think it would have been sold at some point or another without a doubt.

flash 8 was pretty damn stable as far as flash goes, and i know when adobe bought it it seemed to become less and less stable with each new version. it crashed almost as frequently as after effects at one point

Fuck, the memories. This caught me off guard.

I remember there was about 5 open source flash players GNASH, Shumway etc
but they've all died at some point, i think the plan was to save the swf format like React os wanted to continue the Win32 system without the original creators being involved
thus making it possible for the "program coded like spaghetti" to be fixed
