My Newgrounds History - 2009

Posted by Whirlguy - November 20th, 2013


[NEW IN 2009]
It all start when Writersblock invited me to join January's Monthly Writing Competition. The objective was to write a Newgrounds Fan Fiction of your choice. I chose to write a prequal to Los Días Sin Días and surprisingly got second place! In February there was another contest, so I gave that a shot too. I didn't end up doing so well. Then in March, Luis organized an Amsterdam meetup. Something went wrong during the first day, and I ended up strolling around the meetup spot. Catoblepas and his friend were practically doing the same thing, so we hung around for a short while and split up after that. The next day everything went well, and I wrote an entry about it. Not too long after that, I decided to join the NG Sketchbook Tour. I would have gotten the shirt too, if it wasn't for creditcard payments. The same could be said for the 2010 Calendar. I joined a bunch of artists to create art for it, but they didn't pick my work in the end. Oh well. At the start of summer, Tom introduced "Power Of Three" to the community, so I teamed up with Lochie and Writersblock. Unfortunately, my mother died along the way. Eventually I got stuck doing all the thinking for our PO3 project, and we didn't make the deadline. I sort of forgot about it after a while. Too bad, it was looking pretty promising! Lochie and me created a few minigames though. At the end of the year I got very much involved with the Newgrounds treasurehunt. I recommended and reviewed many many movies, which was really fun! Also, Tom gave away free Wacom Tablets to the most promising artists on the site. Lochie was one of them. As for me, I received some free Newgrounds merchandise for recommending Fucking Kids as a Halloween gem.

[FLASH & COLLABORATIONS]
Lochie and me worked on a lot of projects this year, but most of them were never finished. He especially liked to use my audio, and sometimes requested songs. This is how I made 8-Banquet and both Cosmonaut songs. We had a pretty amazing game in the making. One of the earliest solo projects I was working on this year was a valentinesday flash; another one of those projects I should have finished, but didn't. Also, I thought nobody had any shockwave files from my Back To The Front project, and I had lost them forever, but someone still had them after all! They sent it to me, and I imediately finished the project as quick as I could. Better late than never, I guess! Somewhere in August I did another "lovey dovey" animation, and in October I finally decided to quit the NG Levels Collab to submit the animation by myself. After that, I did an attempt at a Christmas flash but never got far.

[AUDIO]
In contrast to last year, I finished a couple of my songs this year. I still did a lot of loops though, and a lot of them were made for people. Lochie Loop was a present for Lochie, B-Day Beat was for a friend's birthday, and Violet Flower Headbands was dedicated to my dead mother. Never Coming down again, 8-Banquet, Running Game and The Cosmonaut were all requested for flash projects. Fun Fact: Violet Flower Headbands was submitted on my mother's birthday, which is Christmas.
