Collabs Roundup


We love seeing people come together for collabs! Here are some highlights from October:


@GeeGuy organized the Angry Birds Reanimated Collab.


@AhWham organized the Shrieks and Screams Collab 2.


@whimsical-wife organized the Pokemon Variance Collab.


@Blitzilla organized the OC’S BY NIGHT COLLAB.


@weekdayzzzz organized the Fire Emblem Collab.


@sro organized the Peak Halloween Collab.


@Flamadour organized the NG Pub Song Collab.


@AmazingArsonist organized A Night on the Farm.


@Fnaflaxter organized the Halloween collab.


@CRAPPYMUSlC organized the bird collab.


Closing Thoughts


I love October on Newgrounds and last month was another stellar example, with all the goodies from our Halloween Spooktacular and a solid line-up of non-spooky stuff too. Be sure to explore the runner-ups, I have a lot of favorites in those lists.


October also marked the introduction of Takeover Tuesday, a new weekly event intended to drive Supporter growth while surfacing lots of gems from around the site. Check out the Takeover Tuesday Archive if you’re wondering what you missed!


Our ongoing back-end overhauls have continued along the way. Recent rollouts have gone smoothly but let us know if something suddenly appears broken somewhere. One example of a small fix in recent weeks: Have you ever clicked the Publish button on a project, but because you had unsaved changes in the text editor, it runs the auto-save instead of proceeding with the publishing process, at which point you had to click the publish button a second time? That one is fixed.

Another fantastic month of games, and congratulations to all the game developers! Y'all are going nuts as this is the third month in a row that we've featured around 40 games! You're wearing me out with this flood of gaming goodness: don't you all need to be back in school or something to give me a break? Ah, what the heck, keep 'em coming, haha!


As mentioned, my favorite for the month was Ritual Bound by @prsaseta: though technically it was released in September, it was an incredibly spooky experience appropriate for October!



If you're still looking for spooky Halloween experiences, also consider checking out these titles!



And finally, we had a lot of demos come out this month that are looking for feedback to help their eventual full releases, so consider checking these out too!
