Hey everyone! I'm thrilled to announce my very first game collaboration!
While I've contributed to Newgrounds projects over the years, this is the first time I’m leading one myself and what better occasion than Newgrounds’ 30th birthday to make it happen?
This is open to musicians and artists.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE:
JUNE 28TH 2025
We also have a 30th Birthday Locker Collab Discord!
You can submit your work here, show wips and introduce yourself!
The theme I'm going for is nostalgia through these decades, so I thought: why not take a trip down memory lane, literally? The game centers around lockers you can open in a school hall, each one hiding easter eggs from across the past 30 years of Newgrounds history and you'll get to decorate the insides of one!
ART SUBMISSION RULES
Here are the submission rules for NG's 30th Anniversary Locker Collaboration:
- Use the template provided below, draw & colour on top of the locker. Make sure you're sending this in as a PNG.
- I recommend you use a black outline on your work so it stands out but that's not required.
- Artists can submit two locker designs, please make sure your artwork is fully coloured.
- Non-scouted artists are welcome to participate.
- Absolutely no AI or tracing.
YOU CAN:
- Decorate the locker door.
- Sign your username on the 'Username' area of the locker.
- Change the shelf arrangement inside the locker.
- Change the inside of the locker colour.
- Make gore, or cheeky lockers. So if a madness combat character is bleeding out in a locker, that's fine as long as it's not TOO gory.
- Add characters in the locker, NG related characters are encouraged! Even better if you make it 30th Birthday themed.
- Include your OC's, that's also fine!
- Make meme entries, but please have it be good quality - no mspaint shitposting, it must be your own artwork.
YOU CAN'T:
- Draw bigger than the template. Make sure you don't go into the white area.
- Make NSFW Entries. This is PG13 collab and 13+ can join in.
- Make offensive entries, any racist, sexist, transphobic entries will not be tolerated or allowed.
Designs Ideas:
- You can either make a locker as a general homage to the things you've liked that are Newgrounds related over the years. You can reference NG characters, movies, films, art they can be as well known or as obscure as you like.
- You can create a locker as if it belongs to a certain NG character. You can add items that the character might have in their locker to work as easter eggs for people to try and guess who might own it!
- You can add characters in the lockers, just make sure they fit inside the locker and try not to add the same character as someone else has added, e.g if someone has drawn the tankmen inside one locker, then add another character to yours so it doesn't look like they're in two places at once!
- You can make it 30th Anniversary themed, so the characters can be partying or chilling.
MUSIC SUBMISSION RULES
Musician submissions are a little more open ended.
- Tracks between 1 - 2 minutes long will be ideal enough, they can be loopable.
- You're welcome to collaborate with other musicians.
- You can make music inspired by NG characters or anything.
- Try not to make it TOO heavy or loud, it's going to be music that will be played while browsing the lockers, so almost like a school radio playing in the hall.
- Unscouted Musicians are welcome.
- Don't use AI or copyright tracks it must be your own creation.
LOCKER TEMPLATE:
More examples will be in the discord server, or you can submit it within this forum if you don't have discord.
