CrispyToast (the one in DeviantArt and Newgrounds)

qwerty

Congrats to the rest of winners and runner-ups!

Oh my god, i won money on Trivial Trivia!

Congratulations for all the winners!!!

Thank You, i didnt expect that I have won money!

June was a huge month, and July is already shaping up to be huge as well. Exciting times. Congrats to the winners!

So much great stuff from June :D

Thank you so much for featuring my song!!

Thanks for the <3 Newgrounds.

:)))

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, the best of june is here.

Hey i'm in the collab of mexican and Sonic annyversario 30th! ;) and also congractions to the winners for do awesome work i hope i can win too for one day! ;)

Hey thanks for the mention! The feedback I get here was significantly better than on YouTube, love this place.

Congratulations to all of the winners, and many thanks to the many game devs for delivering another great month of games! You guys had some solid picks for the top, and I was honored to be featured in a question in the Trivial Trivia game (with so many questions to go through, I feel lucky to have encountered it in the first place!)

As said, while they were only runners-up this month, I definitely want to highlight my top three which you should go and play:

As usual, if you wanna see the rest of my top picks, feel free to check out my news post! There's a lot of cool games and especially cool demos/alphas that could use some feedback so that they grow up big and strong!

Oh, and if you haven't seen it, I also did a little feature about the Treasure Hunt event, highlighting my favorite games from there! Hoping we get to see the final results of that soon: I've submitted my scores to @SplatterDash and am waiting with bated breath!

Finally, we got Best of June 2024!

Thank you Mr. Tom Fulp!

Man, what a good month!

cool!

thanks to all the animators on volume 1000 as well

I MADE IT INTO THE JUNE FAVORITES PLAYLIST LETS GOOOOOO

It's good to see people succeed.

Thank you everyone!

I will always remember it.

Congrats everyone and thanks to all those who put Trivial Trivia in the top 5! Really didn't expect that. Happy to see a TT game succeed in a way I wasn't able to do solo years back.

Big thanks to those who provided art and help with the series, esp Kabobble (who renamed their account to TeamTrivial, thanks for your sacrifice) who was able to breathe new life into a TT game with color, animations, and features that make trivia kinda fun to play. I'll let @TeamTrivial properly weigh in when they are back in the swing of things but I really, really appreciate the positive feedback and would like to thank everyone for playing!

Also special thanks to @Atastic and @ElRandomGMD - if I didn't stumble across your art I used for the game those trivia packs probably wouldn't exist. Pebbles wasn't originally on our radar & the stickmen were going to be lumped in the main NG pack with much less content. It wasn't until I saw all three stickmen together that it made sense to make a separate pack for them!

June was a banger, keep it up.

Holy shit I'm in the top 5?!

I was rooting for  Dungeon Flippers. But there was lots of good stuff this month!

aaa thanks so much for featuring me tom!!

Another amazing month in newgrounds history! The best art section has to be my favorite. The movie this month was the best! I hope July is just as good.

I just noticed this! I was wondering why I suddenly had supporter status, I was so confused 😆 Thank you, I really appreciate it!

My #1 pick didn't make the top 40. I don't know if it was too serious or what.

Looks like there was only one game that didn't make the top 25. It's too bad since I thought it was really charming, but I understand people not wanting to vote for an abandoned project.
