I feel like 2015 was a tough year for most people, alot of soul searching of sorts, i think that's sometimes necessary though to regain focus at times. Glad Soda Dungeon did well, the mobile business is so unpredictable, maybe more so than the flash scene, so definitely takes guts to take a stab at it.
Here's to 2016 thooo.
*Thnx for the shout out.

Times are super scary... This is why I fantasize all day about the darn Supporter Upgrade taking off. I feel like it could change everything... The web gaming and animation scenes NEED to be revived because it was a really great thing and nothing else produces as much happiness.

just glad your still around, I am a big fan of yours long before I had this account.

Glad to see you're keeping up the good fight!

And with what Luis said, 2015 was a weird year. Soul searching and whatnot,. I know I did for sure. Congrats on the marriage and stuff and the other successes!

How about a New Newgrounds SIM

I knew Soda Dungeon would take off! It's a lot harder to imagine when you're the creator, as you'll always question yourself. That game had my friends addicted for weeks! I think you'll do great with whatever new content you throw out; whether it be on here or mobile!

I've seen you stream a couple times! Haven't seen you on in a bit though :(

Also, my ZSS still sucks.

Most struggle means more reward. That's just part of getting older.

I feel like I haven't been spending an awful lot of time on Newgrounds than I used to, so I thought I'd poke my head in here. I feel it too, the mobile games market is incredibly strong. There's nothing quite like being able to have a game in your pocket and be able to play it whilst waiting in line, or at a doctor's office, or whenever you feel like vomiting your guts out because it's boring as fuck where you are. Flash games just don't captivate me as much as they used to.

That's not to say I don't play them. I don't want to look too much like a nerd, but Flash games still entertain me (just not as much as they used to, but they still do). They're quick and easy to access, and since you can play them on a laptop, it's easy to make it look like to your prof or teacher that you're obediently taking notes, rather than on a phone, where most instructors nowadays use the "Your crotch isn't that funny, is it?" question to shine the spotlight on those playing a mobile game. So yeah, those games aren't exactly going away. They might in the future, but I hope not.

As for Newgrounds? Still drop in from time to time, proudly with AdBlock disabled. It's the least I can do, really, without having a steady income. The wisest decision Newgrounds can do is to expand and go with the times. There are companies that tried to fight change... and lost. Sites like Google can survive because they update and go with the times. They flow with the current rather than swim against it. I sound like a philosopher right now, but really, if you think about it, it's a pretty damn good thought.
