Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid who now has help. I also co-founded the Behemoth; we made Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Icon by Pegosho, banner by OmenaKettu.

When Cathode Raybots launches, it will be the first game to showcase NG Passport! There will be a notice on the loading screen asking people to sign in, as well as notices in-game at locations where people could save data to NG. We're hoping it will make more people around the web make use of the API features and hopefully get interested in NG!
I'm also making this post to test another feature that I'll announce with a front page post, if everything is working. Reply and say hi!
That's nice.
Sounds pretty neat!
oooh... is this the thing that tells you when someone leaves a comment?
Yes! It's working fine for blogs right now but there are some other issues getting sorted out. I'm actually replying to this FROM my feed page.
That's very cool!
Still testing!
i wish this was a porno site
Oh cool, this will really improve the user experience flow!
Now we can check out of NG anytime we like, but we can never leave.
What are your thougts on people who don't bother to express their thoughts?
I wonder if it's because of our layout.
yo.
It's like everything I do in the other multiverses will be recorded here as well! Score!!!
Just great!, when you release Cathode Raybots? (I can't wait)
I'm hoping for next week.
Dang! You guys have been busy last I was on here
Man time flies... It doesn't feel like that long ago since I converted Pinata Party to video with the early Swivel beta... Did you miss the whole redesign launch last February?
This is pretty cool! It would be nice to see a bridge linking from other sites. This could encourage offsite guests playing the games to come here and start accounts!
However I fear this could be a phishing bait for some.
Will there be any kind of protective action against this? like maybe users have a secondary password or key to their account for off-site use only? Maybe a redirect to a secured login?
Otherwise this seems like a great tool for the site!
The login form is at a secure URL, so people will see the green bar and our address verification. That's actually why we're doing logins with a new browser tab, vs a login field in the game itself. Hopefully it will do the trick!
oh hay.
Nice. NG is going to take over the net yet again. :)
I'm guessing that new feature is the notifications of blog replies and stuff ? Hope it works for new reviews too, been waiting for something like this!
HI!
Hey you!
Nice :p
what about Luis?
will he get an NG greencard
Did this have anything to do with the down time yesterday? It looks like a great idea, I can't wait!
The downtime yesterday was a fluke, we were installing a replacement HD in our storage system and the whole thing crashed, some database stuff got out of sync and the slave servers had to have everything re-imported... Which wouldn't have been a problem next week because that system is being moved to standalone storage and not part of the central storage.

So, if I log into NG on another site, and earn medals they'll show up in my NG profile?

Yup! It's basically a bridge where the game will receive notice from our server that you are logged in.
