My Newgrounds History - 2011

Posted by Whirlguy - November 21st, 2013


[NEW IN 2011]
This year was much less eventful than the year before. Looking back now, I don't think the circumstances were very motivating for me to work on anything. A mix of all sorts of things created a distance between me and my beloved Newgrounds. But worth noting is that I met Wallpaperman in Amsterdam a second time. He visited around the time those riots broke out. I took a notepad with me so that we could work out some ideas for a New Pot Jam, but we didn't actually do much when he got back home. As we sat in a coffeeshop, I drew a picture. Later on I scanned it and then traced it in flash. Initially it was meant to go into Pot Jam 3, but since that never happened it became my userpage image when the redesign was launched in 2012. Anyway, towards the end of 2011, Luis PM'd me that he would maybe come to Holland. Too bad this never actually happened. I also designed and printed a couple of T-Shirts for personal use. I might do more of that in the future.

[FLASH & COLLABORATIONS]
As I said before, I didn't do a whole lot. I wanted to give Pico day a shot, but never got very far. And I tried to get some friends in real life to make flash or games with me, but those attempts sort of failed as well. The same could be said for a project me and Wallpaperman were working on. In this project we were supposed to share the screen. Thinking back now, I should have tried finding some new partners over at the flash forums. That, or sign in on MSN to see if my old buddies were still around. Or, you know... Send a PM through Newgrounds?

[AUDIO]
I made Slow & Hungry as a submission to the NAC'11 Zombie Apocalypse competition, and apparently missed the announcements when I placed 4th. Pretty silly. The loop I made after that was a quick experimental thing I did for a Halloween contest, because I was too late to make anything decent. A lot of my work this year had much potential, but I never finished any of it. Even if I had, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have uploaded any of it to Newgrounds. I now realize that Newgrounds always was my reason to keep creating music; I had an audience. Ever since I stopped doing that, I lost my will to finish anything. I learned my lesson here.
