I wouldn't have thought this would be a hot take, but after seeing so many hate posts trying to dunk on this game:
The full game is going to be better than any official, or modded FNF content we've seen so far. It'll feel like a whole new game, and will be worth the wait.
There's no way to properly express how surreal this was to see...
Thank you SO much to
@MatPatGT
and the rest of the Game Theory crew for the shoutout!
👍👍
I love what Mat has done for YouTube, and can only hope that my channel lives up to the hype he's given💕
@SonyPictures
@SpiderManMovie
Do you fucking muppets honestly not understand that people are only interested in this new version of Spider-Man because of what Marvel has done with the character, and how it connects with the MCU?
Nobody is interested in watching you fuck this up for a 3rd time.
This has bothered me for YEARS at this point.
I want to bringing it to the attention of indie developers and to
@Steam
to hopefully make a change.
Developers deserve visibility, and shouldn't have to ask or fight for it. This is a call to ALL Publishers to include

RIP to anyone who launched a game in the last ~48 hours. EA just dropped 15 classic titles at once and completely took over the front page...
Even worse. Half aren't *actually* available to purchase. They're a part of a subscription.
Yet they still get a front page slot??!!

I remember people being nervous about the "mother" reveal in HIMYM. Like, how could any casting live up to 8 seasons of buildup?
Then she showed up, and everyone immediately fell in love with her. We need more of her!!
Newgrounds has been trending for a few days because Twitter is collapsing.
Now I get to bring it up again, because
@Newgrounds
has taken a firm 'Anti AI-generated art' stance on the site.
Just one more reason it's better than every other website!
We’re introducing new AI tools and controls!

With every other bit of bad news surrounding Unity, this seems to have been largely overlooked.
Starting this November, you need to always be online to use the software. I'd stop using Unity for that change alone. What an absolute trainwreck...

You have our deepest apologies 🙏
Brad pulled an all-nighter on the Fancy Pants: Classic Pack, and the work continues. It's 100 little fires all being put out.
I'll do my best to keep everyone posted.
We're feeling optimistic! Today is still the goal 👍👍
@jennyjaffe
It's equally weird meeting new people, saying things like, "my girlfriend and I". It makes our lives feel like a fling, rather than a meaningful 5 year relationship.
Guess I'll just stay saying "me and that chick I'm always with".
Yeah. That had a good feel to it

Climate denial is no longer trendy. Mega companies are now peddling climate hopelessness to push you into continuing down the same path that benefits them.
In other words.
If you hate billionaires, being optimistic about our future is the best way you can combat them!!
OK, Twitter, look - it's time to have a talk. I've been seeing a lot of climate despair on here lately, and I understand it's cathartic to voice your deepest fears, but at this point in time, that despair is also a self-fulfilling prophecy. I work for an environmental charity- 1/
Surprise! DEAD ESTATE, a horrifying ten-episode animated series inspired by the original game, is set to release October 22nd, only on Netflix! Tell all your friends!
After some valued feedback on the THEY SPEAK demo, the game is being rebuilt in a new framework. We're confident this is the right decision, and I believe the game is already looking better than ever!!
It's such an amazing thing to see nothing but the latest creations from the people you follow. No ads. No bs. Nothing shoved in your face.
Once you've followed enough people, and tweaked the settings to your liking, the Newgrounds feed is like the coziest social media there is!
In retrospect, I'm kinda surprised by how little anyone mentions the Your Feed section on Newgrounds; the feature's great for catching up on everyone, and not just with what they post. That, and every so often you can see who your friends have followed as well.
Pretty kino 👌

THIS is why it's a big deal Dunkey started an indie publishing label. His audience and overall reach is INSANE ‼️
Pulling ~250 reviews in the first few hours is no small feat! Congrats to the dev and everyone involved! Very excited to see the industry GO

The irony is, by flaunting this card around, they are themselves guilty of "False Personation" - which can come with a punishment of up to 3 years imprisonment.
If you're presented with one of these cards, deter them with that piece of information, and see how quickly they run
I am committing $250 to the prize pool, and will add another $250 if my Madness video gets enough videos ahead of Madness Day.

I don't think any of us ever would have guessed that Dead Estate would reach 300 reviews, let alone rounding the corner to 3000!!?
I can never thank you enough for the opportunities this has granted. Hopefully 2 more BEEFY updates can express that gratitude adequately ❤️
THEY SPEAK has changed dramatically since development started, with
@TheFifthKalpa
hard at work - seeking every opportunity possible to add more life, horror, depth, tension, drama, fun, intrigue and MORE into this title!
Once I'm done this Henry Stickmin references series, I might re-edit it slightly into one video. However long that may be. Just for the lulz of having every reference in one insanely long video
I tried to script out a Smiling Friends review.
I wanted to underscore how it spawned directly from

But even in my wildest dreams, I didn't dare to think we'd attain the coveted Overwhelmingly Positive!

I cannot begin to describe how happy this new Twitter header makes me. Being in a position to help out all these wonderful indie devs is a dream come true!!
I have had a few people claim this "Crit!" is a TF2 thing. So many games have Critical Hit displays. Is anything about this distinctly TF2??
I thought that game had a bit green text "Critical Hit!!"

You can help by following the Kickstarter Pre-Launch page. We want to make a BIG splash when it goes live!
This is the reality of Steam's front page now.
The

place where your game can achieve some launch visibility is now most likely going to be reduced down to ~24 hours.
@Steam
needs to put Free games in a separate tab!
Dead Estate runs smooothly on the Steam Deck!!
The controller speed is a little wonky, which is an issue we've had with the regular game and other controllers. So hopefully that'll be worked out before these puppies are widely available!
@Steam
Please don't pile on Deck13! They just happened to have a recent game that featured this problem.
Nearly every major Publisher does this. My intent is to bring about an important change across all of Steam. NOT to smoke out an individual Publisher who is following the norm
I've been a fan of
@ItsTheTalia

And now I can finally share that 2 Left Thumbs will be publishing her upcoming game 🤡🥩
I'm gobsmacked that I get to work alongside such powerhouse indie talent!!
Clown Meat is coming.
A new Dead Estate update is available, aiming to greatly improve the game's performance and stability!
However, it has very likely created some new bugs. We need your help to test and patch this new Beta build. Thank you!! (link below)
This is taking off a bit! Glad people out here still supporting Indies.
I make YouTube videos about all things. But I've done some FNF stuff a few times.
Check out this video explaining 4 Newgrounds themed FNF mods!
Only leave negative reviews if you genuinely dislike a game, or it isn't working for you. Please don't turn it into a meme, as you could very directly harm the creator's potential to earn a living.
To celebrate 3 years of indie gaming excellence, 2 Left Thumbs is running its first ever PUBLISHER SALE!!
There are discounts across the board, and a variety of bundles to explore. I did my best to group games by genre/audience so you can maximize your discounts!

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility!!
While seeking out exciting and interesting new games to publish, I've found myself repeatedly drawn to the works of trans devs.
It's such a creative, inspiring and beautiful community! Thank you all for letting me be a part of that joy 🏳️⚧️❤️
I've updated my indie game publishing pitch Form.
I added the line on generative AI, and bumped the 2 questions up to be among the first things you must respond to.
I have the best job ever.
Some days I wake up, and my to-do list starts:
1. drop the demo for one of the most exciting new indie titles of the year.

Oh... Oh MY!!
30,000 Wishlists pre-launch is suddenly a very real possibility 👀
Any and all support is welcome and appreciated! We're insanely lucky to have even 1000 wishlists on 18 year old Flash games. We cannot thank you all enough 🙏
My bad, you CAN buy the C&C games, but only as a giant bundle. But because of the way New & Trending is set up, each individual game takes up a featured slot.
I also see some accusing EA of some malfeasance? I think this is more just a matter of bad timing and bad luck :(

Was it ever confirmed that the "Spear of shocks" in Fleeing the Complex is based on the Stargate spear? That seems to be the consensus. But I think it only looks a ~little~ like it.
