DEAR NEWGROUNDS,

When I was a little lad, about ye high, I was obsessed with playing my Gameboy Advance. Then some crazy bastards at Nintendo came up with a fucking flippy Gameboy with two screens, one being a focking touch screen. 

I spent several months nerding out with my cool hip friends about this machine before it's release.

So in its honor my friend @scottwjsm and I are hosting the NINTENDO DS ANIMATION COLLAB and we plan on posting by November 21st, to celebrate the DS's 20 year anniversary. 

• This Collab will have an interactive menu, where you click on the cover art on game cartridges, to see the animation loops.

REQUIREMENTS 

• Must contact @scottwjsm or I, @Dannygoodshirt, on Discord or Newgrounds and pick a Nintendo DS Game. (You can't pick a game that someone else already picked so please communicate!) 
• Animated Loops in GIF format. Also, game cover art if you can! 
• 24 fps and 16:9
• 1920 x 1080
• Submit ANIMATED LOOP by EMAIL Dannygoodshirt@gmail.com or DISCORD.
• You can post your submission separately AFTER the Collab is released.
• No MEME/SHITPOSTING

NOTE: If you cannot export into GIF Scott can do it for you, but please, try to figure it out yourself. 

DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1st, 2024

Link to Discord Server where we are hosting the Collab for more questions/discussions.

Examples of the interactive aspect in other projects

• Cartoon Network Collab

• Piconjo Jams

Hey Newgrounds!

I want to thank everyone for all the love for Dr. Good's Operating Theatre 2023. The latest Halloween Animation Collab from my here and my Collab Discord, and everyone else who submitted to the project.

Thank you @TomFulp for posting the painting of the sexy hunk Dr. Good by @Thedyingsun to the FP Banner.

My homie @rannitx (Dr. Good's designer and animator) and I can't believe we've done this Collab 5 times now.

Now, Nov 7th I will be on a podcast called @ClubNG to talk about the project, and others, with @The-Great-One and @Aalasteir.

I hope you enjoy it!

Peace

Thanks Newgrounds! 

Hey Newgrounds! Here's a life, webtoon, Pico Day, and more update.

I was pretty much gone from the site the first chunk of the year mostly due to training and competing in a Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) fight in March. I didn't get the W but fuck it was fun! Look at me.

Anyways, this past month I started releasing Astromon! Webcomic. A Webcomic I've been writing for a long time, and working with @brebrz who made beautiful artwork for it! Originally I wanted Astromon to be an animation, but after I realized I'm not a billionaire, I went the web comic route. Also, for my first attempt at a story this feels like the right thing to do.

I'm also hosting a PICO DAY WRITING CONTEST with a MAY 5th Deadline.

You still have a couple days if you want to write something!

Look out for a goofy cartoon I wrote parodying Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with animation by @scottwjsm and many voices by @voicesbycorey! Coming soon!

Finally, in the next month of two, I should be starting the 5th Dr. Good's Operating Theatre Animation Collab!!!

Overall, I hope to make more stuff this year. Also... Newgrounds needs a Webcomic portal.

Thanks for reading.

Peace.

Danny
