TANKMAS ADVENTURE 2024!
-
WE'RE BACK IN HOLIDAY BUSINESS!!

It's a pleasure to be able to bring back Tankmas with the help of two incredible colleagues in holiday hijinks: seasoned Tankmas veteran (and incredible artist!) @MrShmoods , and the legendary NG game developer @Squidly . The three of us are excited to organize things this year, and it's not just because of what we're offering - we're excited to see what YOU want to offer, too!

Tankmas? Is that some kind of joke?
Nope, this isn't some kind of cock joke - Tankmas is the non-denominational Newgrounds holiday tradition where people from across the site can log in every day throughout the month of December (plus January 1st, because why leave New Year's out of things?) and be treated to a new piece of art wrapped in a nice little gift box.

You can check out the Tankmas Adventure collection yourself!
https://www.newgrounds.com/collection/tankmas-adventure

(Pro Tip: logging in during December of any year still earns you the present medals! - for example, if you open 2018's December 1st present on this year's December 1st, you'll still receive the medal!)

So do you need only artists or...?
See, that's the cool thing about Tankmas - it involves every portal across Newgrounds!

Cool! So I can do literally anything for this?
WRONG!!!! You are able to do mostly anything, as long as it follows these general guidelines.

Wanna do more? Help each other out! Reach out to others involved with Tankmas for help on your project, or vice versa! - for example, you could grab a musician and voice actor to help make a comic read like a storybook, or you could gather a game developer and artist to help create a minigame, or even grab a musician, some voice actors, and an artist to create an animated short.

I want in on this! How do I apply?
Simple: fill out this Google Form!

It’ll give us an idea of what you want to do for Tankmas and allow us to see/hear/inhale what you can do, and we’ll enjoy it like the best gingerbread Smarties you can find- I mean, please make sure to fill out the form by Monday, November 11 @ 11:59 PM EDT to be considered! We do have limited slots, so while we can’t accept everyone to the project we value what everyone’s bringing to the table for this year.

If you want to propose a game or animation after the November 11th deadline; privately reach out to Shmoods, Squidly or I and we’ll talk further about the possibility of putting it in Tankmas. We’ve got an especially tight cap on the premieres, so no guarantees!

I have questions!
I hope we haven’t answered it yet! Pop any questions you got for us in this thread, then Shmoods, Squidly and myself will be happy to answer the best we can, but we can’t answer everything! Don’t wanna ruin any surprises (don’t even get me STARTED with what happened to the person that yapped about the killer candy canes from outer space).

Sincerely, the Santas

Fill out this form to be considered among the other applicants.

This goes for anyone else currently applying:
We'd love to have you! However, no hard feelings if you aren't accepted, because... there's A LOT of submissions.

There may only be 32 slots for Daily Present Artists (which are filling up fast), but there's always opportunities opening for Comic Artists, Short Story Writers, Voice Actors, Additional Artists, Additional Programmers, and Mini-Game Developers!

If we see you're clearly qualified for the collab, but the Advent calendar slots have all been filled, I guarantee there will still be something you can contribute your creativity towards.
