Pico Day is such a fantastic part of the culture. It brings people together, encourages collaboration, and helps participants develop skills in organizing a production. Team coordination and building your skill sets are always amazing to see.
It's always awesome having fun and viewing the material that celebrates Pico Day!
Thank you all so much for making Newgrounds, Newgrounds!
@Xinxinix, I've also read the book of Steel like an artist it is a really good read and is a great recommendation.
The perspective of understanding Newgrounds as community rather than social media is, is an extremely good point, @FuShark is right.
This mindset primes your brain and influences your behavior. It’s important to reflect on your perception of your environment—what it represents to you, how it fits into your schedule, your overall well-being, and the habits you’ve established in alignment with your goals.
Personally, I don’t favor the idea of goals as fixed end states.
What’s more relevant are goals as ongoing processes that create opportunities to provide value to the community, with a focus on how your efforts contribute to the collective good, rather than seeking external validation or fleeting achievements. Instead, prioritizing personal growth—such as learning new skills or completing projects—tends to be far more sustainable.
In a community-oriented online environment for you to thrive. Existing in a fully-isolated space doesn’t allow you to grow to your fullest potential. Being kind, positive, and engaging with others is a valuable habit because it enhances the quality of the communal environment and helps create a space people want to be part of.
Newgrounds exists because it is supported by people. Without the active participation of its community, it wouldn’t function. Newgrounds is shaped by the people who use it—that’s what makes it unique. Fundamentally is your contribute to that environment.
The appeal of an online community that focuses on interaction lies in the question: "How am I contributing to this story and shaping this experience?"
It’s not even necessary to have a Newgrounds account to shape its story. Simply engaging with the material on the platform and discussing it contributes to shaping Newgrounds’ narrative.
It’s about asking questions like: How does this appeal to the viewer? and Why does this resonate with them?
Every action plays a role in shaping its story. It’s about recognizing how your actions influence and impact the environment.
@FuShark, also, great advice: learn to draw with your arm.
It’s super cool that your music tells a story!
Nice lo-fi effect, it's a good atmosphere.
Fantastic atmosphere!
Great piano! Awesome melodies!
Very nice bass, and the theme is great. There's a good progression throughout the song.
Great melody!
Super cool! there's a good groove on the beat, and I like the mixing.
It's true that the environment should have higher priority than the microphone.
”Please, you have to understand.
The Internet is evil. It corrupted me.”
