Another Row of Games

Posted by TomFulp Sep. 14, 2007 @ 6:34 PM EDT

On a whim, we removed a row from the FEATURED WEB CONTENT and added a row to GAMES... So now more games are getting front page space.

In the near future we'll be introducing some new game categories to the GAMES section. I'm wondering what category Ocean Explorer belongs in... Something new? Gadgets? If there were a new category, are there other submissions that fit with it?

Good desicion, I don't really see the point with the "featured web content" thing


Sep. 14, 2007 | 6:37 PM SBB says:

*decision


Sep. 14, 2007 | 6:42 PM RSQViper says:

Yeah, definitely featuring more NG Artist content is better than that featured content stuff.

I played Ocean Explorer in the portal. It's tough to list that thing for a category, but Miscellanius seens to fit more than the game categories.

Oh, and what about an ALIEN collection in movies? There's tons of aliens stuff on NG. Needs a category.

Sep. 14, 2007 | 6:49 PM TomFulp responds:

Yeah, I've actually been planning an alien category for YEARS now... Gotta get on that some day.

You should it to a new section called "Misceanoullus"(hope i spelled it right).Some games should go in that section if you cant decide.


Sep. 14, 2007 | 8:03 PM vgfa287 says:

this is good news more games mean more time to kill. as for Ocean Explorer it would be a gadget since its similar to games of that type.


Sep. 14, 2007 | 9:38 PM Shinki says:

Yay, I always wondered why there were more spaces for Movies than Games...

Ps. Thanks for keeping my game there for so long! Really appreciate the exposure.

Sep. 15, 2007 | 8:14 AM TomFulp responds:

A lot more movies are submitted than games, but games also tend to take a lot more work, so they deserve a good run on the front page. :)


Sep. 14, 2007 | 10:18 PM rezaiman says:

Maybe like User Creative or something...basically for anything that makes the player be creative... could fit with drawing programs and what not as well

Featured Web Content section was always useless I thought.
On the old design it was just bad porn, and on the new one it's weird vids that noone seems to look at.

Sep. 15, 2007 | 8:17 AM TomFulp responds:

It's really just advertising space. It doesn't do as well as it once did, so I tried replacing it with Google ads last week - but that didn't work out too well either so I switched it back. It's on the list of things that will get cut as we continue to "balance the budget" and try to get better ads in less spaces.


Sep. 15, 2007 | 2:40 AM Dast says:

Oh, another edit ?


Sep. 15, 2007 | 4:00 AM Darkside7000 says:

Ocean Explorer is fucking original as hell, to bad it got repetitive to quick.


Sep. 15, 2007 | 4:05 AM Jindo says:

Great, I thought it was kind of unfair that there'd be more front-page movies than games, glad that's evened out now :).


Sep. 15, 2007 | 4:40 AM Robert2812 says:

Gadgets, Definetly Gadgets!


Sep. 15, 2007 | 8:34 AM RupeeClock says:

It's always nice to promote more games, but don't forget about the movies now, that's the main export of this site. :(


Sep. 15, 2007 | 8:48 AM Superperpel says:

How does a Simulation category sound? It makes sense, it hasn't been made, and there are a lot of games that fit into that category.

Thanks!

Sep. 16, 2007 | 3:07 PM TomFulp responds:

Yeah, sim games are on my list.


Sep. 15, 2007 | 10:05 AM souled says:

YAY,
now my future games have a chance! :D


Sep. 15, 2007 | 12:06 PM aquaticmole says:

The featured web content was a good thing to remove. I never really looked at the stuff anyway. And it's also better to show off more NG Artists.

As for the game. I think there should be like a new game category called calm games or something just because the whole idea and atmosphere of the game seems so calming to me. Or i guess another idea could be innovative games, which would go to games who tried something different.


Sep. 15, 2007 | 12:38 PM newgiez says:

Ummmmmm, well i think it would go into adventure


Sep. 15, 2007 | 1:33 PM nirvelyar says:

hmmm... Gadgets/Adventure-gadgets?


Sep. 15, 2007 | 2:11 PM Wonchop says:

Not sure. You could make an Underwater collection and pair it with games like James the Deep Sea Zebra and Defend Atlantis.
As for other collections, you might wanna consider making a section for 3D movies such as The Mascot.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SMICO RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sep. 15, 2007 | 3:04 PM wolfinator-x says:

Well I cannot suggest Wierd Al anymore because it appeared before I could have suggested it on the BBS...

How about an ArmorGames section?

Or even a Classics section? It might ressemble Flash Portal History but in this case it is overall the flashes in history that kicked serious ass?

Ever notice all the Madness Interactive Mods on the site? Maybe there can be a section for that.


Sep. 15, 2007 | 5:20 PM Wonchop says:

Oh, and while we're at it, Andrew Pants collection? I think it's arguable that some of his fanbase spawned from The Touchtone Genius, and some animations from people like Squeakytoad and Lazymuffin use his stuff.


Sep. 15, 2007 | 7:13 PM laboy95 says:

cool page


Sep. 15, 2007 | 8:41 PM KupaMan says:

There's been a few Photography games, so it could fall under that. But, there have also been general Aquatic games, so a section like that would work too.


Sep. 15, 2007 | 9:37 PM Rudy says:

Ah, well I think it'd be cool to have another GAMES section, even though I'm not a big game person. I played Ocean Explorer, and it was pretty interesting. Glad to see another row of games though. Yes. :D


Sep. 16, 2007 | 12:39 AM bruceg says:

aaaaa oh hi i gust want to no watt r you going to do about that teddy thing just asking oh and newgrounds rolesssss #1woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


Sep. 16, 2007 | 12:47 AM seruvath says:

what about "cheap ripoffs" since this is a ripoff of pokemon snap, one of the best games ever made for the N64


Sep. 16, 2007 | 1:18 AM Matt-Frozenfire says:

Great choice on the games section... I never really payed attention the The FEATURED WEB CONTENT at all.

Tom Fulp Are You A Part Of Kitty Krew?


Sep. 16, 2007 | 1:59 PM jmtb02 says:

Thanks for creating the extra row of game content. I know that Flash animations are much more prevalent than Flash games, so two titles on the front page is a nice gesture. Will be a bit nicer for the game rotation up there.

I personally would say that Ocean Explorer is a Gadget, given the categories that exist. If you were to create a new category, I would say "Simulation". There's a lot of new Simulation-style games out there, from the McDonald's Videogame to World Domination 2. I would also like the see that category inspire a wave of SimCity sort of games, which would be awesome!

Would always love a Ball Revamped collection too :).


Sep. 16, 2007 | 3:45 PM Unkle-Krakerz says:

Ocean Explorer fits in right were it is I think. And as for the Alien catagory, that's pretty good idea, I agree with RSQViper.

Sep. 16, 2007 | 6:25 PM Mitdylan says:

you should make a category called Fishies!

random note tom

bring music to the portal again.


Sep. 16, 2007 | 11:08 PM TheCriminalDuder says:

I think we need a cock category.


Sep. 17, 2007 | 4:04 AM Knives says:

Tom, have you considered having horizontal buttons on the top of the page with the different categories of games music and movies? And just have the defaulted loaded page with all the top objects from each category?

To me the front page just seems cluttered. And we need to find a way to put site news closer to the top it has never felt right scrolling down half the page to see what's goin on.


Sep. 17, 2007 | 9:43 AM kaywire says:

Dude what is up with my acount ! I have removed 2 of my submissions AND IT SAYS IM BANNED for 14 days of my two blammed submissions ! And that happend twice now and this happend yesteday ! man help me out here. By the way whats the experience to get to level 60 ?


Sep. 17, 2007 | 10:07 AM doberman7 says:

I think maybe you should create an alien collection, after all, there are series of alien movies and stuff, so why not have a collection?
Maybe its a new decision on a new collection, ill put on a BBS topic saying if we should have a collection for it.


Sep. 17, 2007 | 11:54 AM Minime5896 says:

Cool cant wait


Sep. 17, 2007 | 6:13 PM st1k says:

Lol , after 40 comments i feel like a noob posting. But , create a skills game section and mybe a defence games section if there isnt one. (not going to double look) But , I think alot of game could be thrown in a skills game section ( HINT TWIST :] )


Sep. 18, 2007 | 1:08 AM Mr-Anderson says:
