I really don't use journals that often. BUT ANYWAY

Some updates, iguess:

• I've been featured as the user of the day on the community hub. o-o Didn't even know that was a thing, was a nice xmas gift :v Thanks, G-bot
• I'm currently still at work on another R34 animation, this time involving Shantae and her various monster girl forms. It'll come in two versions depending on the viewer's preferences. I need to figure out the best way to share both versions to NG, since I don't want to post it twice if it can be helped. (I'd like it so when you load the vid, you can click and choose which version you want to play. But I also want it to be a basic video format.) As usual patrons will get early access to it by about 2 weeks when it's done.

Also, I feel like spitballing a bit: what if there was a form of 'watch together' functionality on Newgrounds? Something sorta like a stream with a chat alongside. This kinda thing exists on Twitch but is mostly for licensed properties, and it also exists on Youtube but it's usually with pirated work. Since NG is so animation focused it'd be a good candidate for essentially animation streaming stations, and it could be done legitimately, providing views, votes, and revenue to the creators simultaneously.

It'd maybe have to start out small, but lists could be curated and creators could opt-in to having their stuff available for streaming. I have no idea how feasible any of that is to implement to be honest.
