Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Well boys and girls that brings the lunchbox giveaways to an end. (finally)
I have more free shit I might be gettting my hands on soon so who knows what else you could win again.

=========================

I've also gotten back to working on the Sketchbook Tour (remember that?). I'm actually feeling pretty good about it. It will be done next month no doubt.

I'll probably get back to my other po3 games next month as well.

Munny design contest is making a comeback shortly after sketchbook tour as well. (part of my reason for going to ny)

I'll also be briefly in town over in London late next month. More on that later.

=========================

Speaking of inspiration, a friend of mine linked me to Machinarium, which i vaguely heard about but didnt really mess with it until just recently. It was pretty cool and it was motivating to see that hand drawn art / fine art is making its way back into the gaming environment. In a world full of obsessing over pixar and very polished 'realistic' finishes on games its cool to feel the pulse of the artists touch still making its presence felt.

Gretel and Hansel is another good example.

Did you know that there is this game for the PS2 called "God Hand"

Strangely enough, the main character's jacket print looks just like Kringles' "Maddness Clown"

Look at his jacket's back after about 15 seconds.

Oct. 22, 2009 | 8:36 PM RatherRandom says:

What an absolute fucking magnificent game Machinarium is, wow.
Also, can't wait for the sketchbook tour, tutututour.
Also, can you PM me my sketch, I couldn't scan it for myself before I sent it to you.

Oct. 22, 2009 | 8:59 PM TheReviewGuy says:

That Machinarium thing is quite a piece of work. It's a very fluid transition from the drawing board to the interactive environment of the game.

Thanks for sharing. I'm considering buying it.

Oct. 22, 2009 | 9:31 PM DannyJay says:

ahhh, I'd love to go see you this weekend in NYC, but its unlikely that my parents will let me go into the city alone.

Oct. 22, 2009 | 9:48 PM Luis responds:

Oct. 23, 2009 | 3:03 AM carbonwater says:

How does the munny competition work? And what is it?

Oct. 23, 2009 | 3:14 PM Luis responds:

Long story short. Theres a series of blank figurines that are sent out to the most promising designs on the thread. Then those artists work on the figurines to make their designs come to life. Then they all come back to the office where the most successful solutions get prizes and stuffff... heres the one from last year:
