Takeover Tuesday Aftermath 2024-10-09 16:33:03


Yesterday 843 individual Supporters participated in Takeover Tuesday by featuring something on the front page!


Takeover Tuesday is a new weekly event, where every Tuesday, anyone who is a Supporter will have the ability to feature one movie, game, art or audio on the front page.


The archive page is currently in the works and will appear as a link under the Artist News box, along with another Takeover Tuesday surprise.


Monthly Voting


Voting is in progress for the Best of September and winners will be announced on Monday, October 14th! Between Monday and Tuesday, next week will be off to an exciting start.


If you missed the Best of August, we overhauled our voting system and introduced categories for art and music.


Halloween Spooktacular


Our Halloween Spooktacular is in progress and we’d love more sponsors to increase the prizes!


If you have the means and love Halloween, donate on our Supporter page and PM me a heads up you donated towards the Spooktacular. You can also specify which category.


Other Stuff


Throughout all this, lots of under the hood changes continue to roll out. If you noticed some brief downtime earlier, it was that!


Working on Nightmare Cops!

Because of this, I was given a month as a supporter. I'm enjoying these new features.

If anyone on NG staff hasn’t gotten a good back-pat in a while, I’d suggest they give themselves a good one now!


Yesterday was AMAZING! I’m already looking forward to next week’s Takeover! What a wonderful Supporter incentive!

Love the idea of an archive :D For any features we may have missed ^-^

Looking forward to seeing what the community does with this new feature

This is pure speculation, but I feel at least a few of those were brand new supporters, who wanted to get in on the action

You're a master of surprises, Fulp - I don't think anyone correctly predicted what Takeover Tuesday was gonna be, and I don't think anyone's gonna correctly predict what you've got up in store next.


Monthly Voting

Voting is in progress for the Best of September and winners will be announced on Monday, October 14th! Between Monday and Tuesday, next week will be off to an exciting start.

Now I'm Imagining what would happen if the monthly winners got announced on Takeover Tuesday. It'd probably be pandemonium.


Other Stuff

Throughout all this, lots of under the hood changes continue to roll out. If you noticed some brief downtime earlier, it was that!

I did have a review which got cockblocked by downtime - I wasn't bothered at all (I quickly saved it to Notepad when I realised what happened), but thanks for the explanation.


Ignoring my record of incorrect predictions for now, I'm gonna assume its simple performance improvements, bugfixes and other such maintenance work - you'd be hard-pressed to notice that kinda shit unless you directly benefit from it.


‘Twas a nutty experience, but fun as hell!

This is your first step to admitting that Newgrounds is going broke, Tom.

It’s no secret NG operates at a loss and is slowly working towards becoming self-sufficient, it’s why making Supporter more appealing with things like this is important!

I feel silly now for thinking this takeover tuesday would be pay to win. Because it's like trying to troll something awful, you're paying directly to the site admins to rig a game they can't possibly lose at.

Doesn't pretty much almost every direct payment site like paypal blacklist newgrounds for porn and gory content anyways? Toms hands are tied for a lot of things.

Dunno about PayPal specifically (EDIT: No, not PayPal) but NG has seen plenty of blacklisting over the years, this is just overall how things shook out, I personally think it’s the best solution!

Now that I have a supporter, I can say, I really enjoy this Takeover Tuesday yesterday.
