Go away! You are NOT welcome here! We've already suffered a massive blow to our integrity thanks to ex-Tumblr users, FNF fans, and now you annoying little pricks!

If you are one of the few who had ignored my advice and hadn't yet been shot on sight, keep in mind the following...

1. Don't use copyrighted music. Use whatever's in the Audio Portal
2. We expect quality out of you (for movies/games at least, since those get the daily P-Bot awards). We recommend spend 1-2 months on each movie submission at a minimum of 1 minute. Otherwise your ~4 star shitpost is gonna get flamed.
3. We've had our own version of Twitter's $8 badge for over a decade longer than Musk's platform. It costs $3.
4. If you can't create anything good, we have a forum like what daddy used to use.

Thank you for your time.

Hi, I'm the Anonymous Frog, and on behalf of the Kitty Krew, not only have I released a collab

and a Halloween special,

but I'm also hosting another collab, in time for Robot Day. We present to you...

THE ROBOT VACUUM COLLAB!

The literal definition of #SWEEP is coming to Newgrounds in 3 weeks!. Create a movie about robots and vacuums, like in the title.

This collab mainly uses Flash, like the old days, so keep this in mind:

• Use Macromedia Flash 8 or older. I want this to work in Ruffle.
• Resolution: 550x400
• Framerate: 24fps
• Submit the FLA file and name the file something like (Your Name)-RobotKK.fla for better organisation.
• Don't have Flash? Get it here: http://animatearchive.neocities.org/

Guidelines

1- Must be relevant to robots, vacuums, or robot vacuums.

Be as creative as you can and it's OK to ask us for help.

2- No unlicensed commercial music, such as songs from the radio, movies, TV shows, etc.

Use the Audio Portal if you have to.

3- Don't spend too long working on a part.

Keep it short if you have to, but at the same time put some effort into it.

4- You are allowed to make multiple submissions

But 3 should be more than enough. If you want more, let me know.

Deadline: November 24th 11:59 PM EST

How to Submit

Send the FLA directly to me via PM. You can send your parts through any of these means

• The Newgrounds File Dump, (recommended)
• Google Drive, (if you don't have Supporter or weren't grandfathered)
• The Team Tools section (if you've accepted the invite)
• Either PM me on Discord or post it on the KK server (if it's under 8MB).

You might want to refrain from submitting your parts until after the collab is released.

If you wish to join and want to submit a part, join the Kitty Krew Discord and let me know.

My latest greatest baitest fatest hatest art project out there, drawing Big Red Sketchydoodles* as quickly as possible. Pop 'em in the oven for 5-10 minutes and you get a fresh new batch to look at en masse.

Suggestions are always welcome, and so are your own sketchydoodles, maybe.

If I make a completed artwork / animation featuring a sketchydoodle, I'll post it here too, so it's pretty much just an artdump thread.

Follow them here:

* Some are big, some are small, some aren't fully red at all.

September has been a very terrible month for me.

Am I not allowed to express my opinions in public?, or provide any form of criticism, good bad or otherwise?

What do you want out of me?

Since I’m not using Twitter anymore, all my bullshitting will be coming from these NG newsposts.

To start, I’m recommending you watch Lessons in Meme Culture on YouTube. It’s great insight on what makes a great meme a great meme and if you like spreading that shit here, or you’d like to make a cartoon featuring a specific meme, it’s worth a watch.

For example, they recently did a video on the “Alphabet Lore”, which has roots right here on Newgrounds*

https://youtu.be/13WG0fSH768

*Also on Twitter and YouTube, but who cares?

UPDATE: Thanks for dropping the scores from 3.3 to 3.0 in a matter of days. You're a great help! I don't want to risk any more review bombing.

Yesterday I created a submission for the Big Boy Rumble Tumble, and I'd also like to take the opportunity to give my own, completely unbiased opinion on the animation jam as a whole

It's alright. A lot of the submissions were very enjoyable to watch, there's a simple and interesting premise, (ie. a fat guy who rumbles and tumbles, likes BBQing, etc), but is this really the "most important jam in all of Newgrounds' culture", worth giving away $1,000 to? That I'll let Morbius decide.

I don't exactly get the whole point of the jam. To me, this came right out of nowhere with no explanation. I'm guessing this was probably an inside joke started by either Chris Piche or someone in his friend circle, and I think this might've been a forced meme.

This definition from Know Your Meme seems to fit very well.

"Forced Memes refer to any "meme" that is artificially created and spread rather than organically spreading through word of mouth as a naturally created meme. Typically, forced memes made with the intent of becoming a meme are aggressively promoted by their creators, small dedicated groups or companies attempting to use them for viral marketing or astroturfing."

This doesn't automatically make a meme bad, but I also don't think Big Hoss had escaped his niche like clussy has. I appreciate the effort, but you got to let the people decide for themselves.

UPDATE: I temporarily removed and restored the submission to prevent any further review bombs.

I did not intend to destroy anyones fun or knock down the jam because I’m some stupid hater. I was excited for what was to come and I wanted to participate as well, and I did. Then Twitter happened and it all went downhill. I just thought it would’ve had a hard time reaching anyone who isn’t super balls deep in cringey zoomer culture, ie. most people. And the review bombing didn’t help either.

That’s all!

I'd like to apologize to not just the developers of Vizzy & The Lost Cat, @Just-a-ng-dummy, @DemisurgeX, @MarvelousToastbrand, and @Peti for their inclusion as "Schmucks of the Day" in the @Tankman Triweekly issue Super Happy Triothy Day 2, but also to every other Newgrounds user who saw the issue and were offended by it. I pushed it way too far and I've pretty much ran out of ideas.

I'm also sorry if my Pride Month message on the @Beggenrun account from over a year ago and my retweets were taken out of context and made this mess even worse.

Moving forward, I will remove their "Schmucks of the Day" listing and will not cross the line with future listings ever again.

A little belated, but the contest is over and the results are in! @53xy83457 is the unanimous winner by default, and thus wins a custom Flash animation from me.

Unfortunately, literally no one else made submissions aside from myself, so it's a very bittersweet victory, but congrats nonetheless!

We need to talk. Recently I've been getting lower scores than what I usually get, most notably my Summer Lovin' Jam entry, but this has also spread to several other submissions I've made this year.

Votes: 22 | Score: 3.69/5

Anything below 4 stars pretty much means "completely worthless" for NG Art Portal standards. My MS Paint doodles get higher scores than that!

What exactly did I do to warrant such low scores? Was I zerobombed? If so, what the hell do you want out of me?

UPDATE: It dropped further to 3.2/5. That is unacceptable!

No I'm not dead. Although Kitty Day was July 17th, the minicontest is still going. Full details here:

Deadline is still August 17th, which also overlaps Clock Day and @Stepford's game jam, so I'm making some changes.

1. Games + Audio submissions are allowed.
2. All 4 submissions are lumped into the same rankings, so there's now only one prize pool to worry about (which is STILL under no budget whatsoever, so I'm still drawing shit):

• 1st. Custom Flash animation from me (max. 30 seconds, I'll spend about a week on it)
• 2nd and 3rd. Free art commission from me (Flash or MS Paint)
• 4th and below: Free art commission from me (MS Paint)

For Flash submissions, don't forget the Kitty Krew preloader, provided to you by BFK in 2010

Other KK News:

My KK Movies

I finally released a [KK] movie. And it's spam just like the old days! However, we have noticed some 'other' spam submissions from non-crews explode into popularity, so this might be a problem.

Expect two more KK movies to come out from me up until August.

Great Tweens Collab

We're hosting a KK Collab! the Great Tweens Collab is still going. I'll host this for as long as I need to. We've got 5 parts already and we're aiming for at least 8-10 parts from participants. You can do as many as you need, from small 2 second movie loops, or maybe something even longer.

Note: You will need Flash to animate your part(s), which requires some Flash skills. You can find old versions of Flash here. Anything above CS3 will be less likely to be accepted, because I need this to work with Ruffle.

Check out our thread if you are interested and join the KK Discord as well!
