I thought that was what newgrounds.com was.


You can't embed things with Newgrounds. As a side note, I onder why Newgrounds faded out of popularity. Very fun web design, very neat systems for stuff, and yet it was completely ignored as a company.


They've been concentrating on other things, I think. I know Tom Fulp was focusing on first Alien Hominid and then Castle Crashers (which is a really fun game btw). Their PDA game is surprisingly fun as well.

I think they have other things in the works, but it seems like they're moving in the direction of console games, rather than online flash games. But all the same, I figured they still had a ton of traffic.


I figure they must, but I find it odd that I never hear the name pop up on sites like this and Reddit.

Have they made many console games? The only one I knew of was Alien Hominid.


I don't know. Tom bootstrapped newgrounds with his friends, and they're based out in Philly, so I think he never really plugged into the tech world. They've been doing well and profitable, so they might be plugged in elsewhere, perhaps the flash community.

They released "PDA Game" first as a minigame inside of Alient Hominid, and then the sequel as a stand-alone on Xbox Live. They just (i.e. a month or two) released Castle Crashers. I haven't heard of anything else coming from them.
