Hello hello!


So I just released my new game "Goober Game"! I've been working hard on it for the last couple months and finally dropped it just recently! For me, this was a huge deal, since I haven't finished a game in almost 10 years. I have started many many projects in between though! After a very long time itchin' to get a game up here on Newgrounds, it finally happened! And boy, was I blown away by the positive reception!!


I never thought I'd get Frontpaged or snag the daily feature with a game, let alone one of my first finished games ever! I really appreciate everyone who's played it so far and for all the kind words and feedback. This was a super exciting launch for me!


For anyone interested, I have listed the game's music and SFX on my Ko-Fi page here! It's all copyright and royalty-free, so if anyone would like to use any of the game's songs or sounds, you are free to do so however you like!


Anywho, I suppose that's all. I'm not sure when I'll be able to make another game, but I am racing closer to my goal of becoming self-reliant enough to be able to do this stuff for my job!


Thank you all! I hope you have a wonderful day. Take care!

Hello folks! To both my followers or anyone who may have just stumbled upon this post, I have some news!~


I have returned from my New Years break and I am back in full swing with a wealth of inspiration, motivation, new ideas, plans and goals! What this means for you is that I'm gonna have a lot of fun things to share in the near, near future.


Short term and coming soon, I have a new game in the pipeline! I am hoping to have it up and running here on Newgrounds this month (sooner rather than later!!). This also means new music, as I will be composing all the tunes and SFX for this project. If you'd like to learn more, you can stay up to date with EVERYTHING on my new Discord server!


Drawmegle, which some may know about, is also going to be receiving updates again soon. Again, the news is on the Discord server!


Long term, I am going to be animating again soon. I will be sharing the videos on Newgrounds and YouTube, so stay on the lookout!


If you'd like more details about any of this (and more!), PLEASE check out my newsletter on Ko-Fi! It's a bit of a read, but you can skip to the parts you're interested in.


I love you all and I can't wait to get creative again! See you soon!!

Hey guys!!


Few may know that I've been working on a project for a little bit called "Drawmegle". It is exactly what it sounds like. Omegle for artists, pretty much!


If you are unfamiliar, Omegle (now defunct), was a website where users could connect randomly to other users and chat. It was full of issues, mainly due to the fact that it was webcam-based and there are plenty of horrible people out there. Despite that, I decided to revive it with a new, hopefully more positive energy. There are no more webcams. Only art!


Anywho, today I am giving it a soft launch. I've been toiling at it for the last couple weeks and it's finally ready to see the light of day. As soon as I decided it was ready to go, I was hit with a lot of nerves for some reason. I was really excited about it prior. I think I'm scared of what releasing a web-based interaction platform entails, but alas, it's up.


Since it's brand new and I don't have a bunch of reach, I don't expect it'll be bustling, but maybe a fun little sketchpad, or maybe an interaction or two.


Alright, no more stalling. Here it is: https://drawmegle.com/


Please have fun with it, and make use of the feedback feature! It'll help me improve it as I continue to develop it. Feel free to join the discord server too! Users can share their artwork there, as well as organize things or do whatever idk.


Enjoy!!

That was a clickbait title to try and get you to read my November newsletter. If you don't know who I am or what I do, you can probably skip it! However, if you are following me, it may be interesting for you!


Anywho, you can check it out here if you are curious about new music resources or about what I've been up to for the last month!


I LOVE YOU CYA!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! This is for anyone who's following or anyone who is interested in free music resources!! (EX. Game Devs, content creators, etc.)


Short note to my NG followers: If you would like to keep up with me & see what I'm working on, consider checking out my Newsletter! I write them every month! (I'm gonna start announcing each new edition here monthly)


Since I began my Ko-Fi page, I've been stocking it up with tons of free music every month! The main thing I wanted to talk about though is my monthly newsletters, which I started writing in May 2023. I've been doing my best to make them as fun and readable as possible, as well as intuitive and informative for readers wanting to keep up with me and the resources I create for you!


Here's my issue!! I want to continue making my page + newsletters better. My ultimate goal with Ko-Fi is to provide a valuable resource for everyone, as well as provide as many extra goodies for my supporters as possible and make them feel like their subscriptions are worth every penny. I don't get a whole lot of feedback on my page though. Not many folks read my newsletters (which is pretty much the only place I ask for feedback). So I wanted to turn to Newgrounds for some extra opinions!!


SO! To anyone who reads this, I would like to ask you your thoughts! If you are following my Ko-Fi, what would you like to see more of? If you aren't following, what might make you want to follow me? Does being supporter seem worth it? What do I do well? What I do poorly? You can answer any of those questions or comment about anything else too.


It would mean a lot to me to hear from you! Ultimately, I'm doing all this to ensure what I provide is of the utmost bestest amazingest quality, and to make a hell of a good free music resource for everyone who needs it!


I LOVE YOU ALL AND THANK YOU!!!!

Hey guys how are you?


I recently discovered it's really fun to read through the news feed. All sorts of nonsense, but also discovering a lot of cool artists and users!

ATTENTION:

DIGITAL FUSION IS REAL, AND IT IS HAPPENING.


For the last year or so, I've been curating a SoundCloud playlist of my favorite Digital Fusion tracks from a variety of incredibly talented, awesome creators. What I've learned about Digital Fusion since I started is that it's a genre that a lot of people know about, but don't know the name of. I was in that boat before I learned the name of the genre. I just thought it was 'video game music' or 'vgm jazz' or something like that. Searching for those things rarely got me exactly what I wanted to hear though, and for a long time, I just wrote it off as niche and that I could only find it if I stumbled upon it.


That is not the case now though! Digital Fusion is real, it is happening, and it must be known! Songs that sound like video games, employ retro synths and soundfonts, and blend them with modern production techniques and/or recorded instruments to create a sound that feel so video game, so vintage, yet so modern. Not to mention the amount of musicians with fierce skills and knowledge of music theory and jazz technique in the space creating music that almost condescends you with its expertise and flashy complexities, even if in a simple package. Digital Fusion is what happens when people who grew up playing tons of video games get a music making software. For those who grew up playing tons of video games and have no music software, the music fills that void in the heart that they never knew existed.


SO, EVERYONE!! Very important!!!! You must know Digital Fusion music. The genre is still a wee baby and knowing about it now will make you COOL when it inevitably blows up. It will blow up. It is real and it's happening. Digital Fusion makes sense.


Read up with your ears. Fill your head with the stylings of today's trailblazers. Check out this playlist and ENJOY IT. Share the music with the folks in your life who you know will appreciate it. If someone you know has a Discord account, they will like Digital Fusion. If someone you know has ever played Animal Crossing, they will like Digital Fusion. If someone you know is under the age of 30 and owned a game console, they will like Digital Fusion.


Preaching over. Enjoy!
