There are still old places like Stickpage[0] and Newgrounds[1] that are up. They feel like relics from the early web before mass consolidation onto social networks like MySpace took place.

- inglor 6y agoI grew up in Newgrounds and helped Dan set up ArmorGames and ran some of their contests. It was a lot of fun and a super creative space.
- gotostatement 6y agoomg inglor! I remember your name was a meme back when I was in the newgrounds forums learning how to make games. I remember you had a contest(?) or were just helping people learn how to make games only using the drawing API without any hand-drawn assets. thank you!! :)
- cableshaft 6y agowaves Hi! I made what I'm pretty sure was the first game for ArmorGames, in fact it was still branded GamesOfGondor, since he originally wanted to commission all LOTR-themed games. Dan was a really nice guy, very friendly and enthusiastic. Wish I had done more with him in retrospect, but the artist I was working with suddenly lost interest while working on the second game, and things kinda fell apart. The first game is still up on Newgrounds: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/210883 https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/210883
- inglor 6y agoHey, I remember you! Good times! I was also involved in the GoG days but I didn't think people remembered that. It changed pretty quickly due to legal reasons.
- wizzwizz4 6y agoNewgrounds is helping develop Ruffle, a Flash player built in Rust that runs (via WebAssembly, I think, though it technically supports ASM.js via emscripten) in HTML5 browsers: https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle
- Yoric 6y agoGood luck. I know of a previous Flash player built in Rust that was killed iirc by Adobe's lawyers after years of development.
- Exuma 6y agoLiterally an ancient relic from my past. Seems very long ago, so wholesome.
