Ask HN: Is there anything like NewGrounds these days?
About 10 years ago, I remember NewGrounds being this amazing place to see fresh animation / game content.
I really enjoyed trying to hack together animations back then, even if most of them did get 'blammed'. Since then, I've focussed on programming, so am out-of-the-loop with where the cool kids and trendy game devs hang out and showcase their stuff.
I'm looking to get back into indie game development and was wondering if there is a 'new' NewGrounds — or if it is indeed still as revered and the place to check out new stuff.
Bonus points if anyone knows of the above, but more JS focussed!
- azeirah 10y agoThere are a few communities that have a slightly similar spirit in some of the aspects, but I don't know of anything like Newgrounds (except maybe Newgrounds itself) soundcloud and codepen.io are the only things I can think of that come even remotely close. Edit: There're pico-8 and https://itch.io/ https://itch.io/ of course, these are coming a lot closer to Newgrounds. Neither have the same target audience as Newgrounds had though
