Wegra Fundraiser
Anyone who has used the BBS at any point in the history of Newgrounds is probably familiar with @Wegra. As it turns out, shitposting doesn’t pay the bills and Wegra’s day job has dramatically cut back his hours. If you’d like to help Wegra out, please consider donating to his Ko-Fi.
Newgrounds Jump Comic Contest
The Newgrounds Jump Comic Contest deadline is fast approaching! Check out this wall art by @NoMoreChie, we’re planning to run this again when winners are announced:
https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/nomorechie/newgrounds-jump-comic-contest-siteskin
There are a lot of events on the Calendar and if you’re interested in getting involved, it’s best to take some time each week to read the list and see if anything jumps out.
Gretel & Hansel
Gretel & Hansel fans will be excited to hear @makopudding has a big update! He will be releasing a remake of Part 1 and Part 2 along with Part 3 as a single game this year. Here are the original web games if you aren’t familiar:

Game API Update
PsychoGoldfish recently announced a Newgrounds.io library for ActionScript 2.0, to replace our old Flash API. You can use this in the Flash Forward Jam and it includes features from our modern API like Cloud Saves. Read the post for more info.
Ruffle News
NG uses Ruffle to keep running Flash games and movies in the browser. Ruffle has continued to progress in 2025 and it looks like some incoming updates will give it a performance boost.
@ninjamuffin99 filed his first Ruffle PR this week, fixing Paper Wings.
Other News
The big news this week was going to be an update to our text editor, however that got shelved because Quill 2.0 doesn’t currently retain empty rows when you copy and paste text from Google docs. We’re hoping this gets fixed in Quill, rather than us implementing a workaround on our side.
Quill is open source, if anyone wants to take a stab at that! It appears that Quill is looking for <p><br></p> for empty lines, while Google docs is formatting it as </p><br><p>, between the end and start of two paragraphs vs being in its own paragraph.
Lots of other under-the-hood progress continues.
Check out our Best of February!
If you’d like to help keep NG going, we have a new t-shirt featuring a fresh take on the tank logo by @Zals, as well as a logo hat and a vibrant orange hat variant.
Newgrounds api
Does this mean you're more likely to earn medals with the api update? Does it only affect new content? It's happened more than a few times that I've earned game medals but weren't awarded them in the end. I do like to use the newgrounds player to play flash content. It's less lag if it's not through the browser it seems. On another note; this may be completely unrelated, I don't know anything about api; trying to watch the yuyu with either the newgrounds player of ruffle doesn't work, it claims you're not watching it on newgrounds.

On the topic of fundraisers
Is there any forum thread or something for those? Idk, I've seen a few. There are also people asking for kickstarters for creative projects sometimes (like the documentary). These might be difficult questions: how are you to decide which ones to feature?

That sounds like a developer issue, how they chose to trigger the unlock or if they use the api calls correctly

this is difficult, i've known Tom for a while now and I can comfortably say the biggest factor is whether or not Tom has seen the post. He's a gracious guy and I fear we may be on a slippery slope to force him into unwillingly participate as a fundraising lynchpin for the community, many times of which lean more toward saving actual lives than prospective creative projects.
I think Tom features the emergency posts he sees, he's on the site most of the day in passing but he can't see everything cause NG is so huge, and for creative projects: usually they have some history or credibility behind them, so when the creators reach out to Tom with the request of a promo banner he probably feels more comfortable endorsing it then.
If you've never uploaded anything to the site and you ask him to promote your animated pilot kickstarter that sounds like a red flag and when it goes nowhere that would lower Tom's future credibility on the stuff he endorses being worth your time

It's strange if it works earning medals up to a certain point, and then all of a sudden for some reason it doesn't; also if you're able to go back and redo it and get the medal.

My guess (once again, know basically nothing about api) is that it stopped working with the death of flash.

It's very difficult. Of course people want to lend a hand if they can. I don't think that should be Tom's responsibility though and it wouldn't be fair to ask that of him.

Sounds like they don't ping the NG servers regularly so the session time out and disconnect in the background

Yea, everyone's going through it. it's healthy to talk openly about it, but depressing to see so much of it
