Unusal update today since one of my interviews vanished somehow - so I just post something here. Next Interview, number 41, will be released on Monday.
My thoughts on Pico Day:
Truth to be told, for anyone who wasn't a at the party and only able to watch the livestream - it was rather boring. There were a few flashes but some of them were pretty good - my favourite is probably Pico Party Mayhem. Would have been nice to see the Tank awards on that day but they didn't happen and they weren't mentioned since then.
The flash portal:
The recent banishment of shovelware made me happy - although some of those accounts still get recreated and throw their trash on the portal - but the Genre mods can add deletion tags to them, so they will vanish soon enough. That should be the end for the days where Shovelware flashes dominated the portal sometimes and even won daily awards. Apart from that, I still miss an option to flag content and hope that the portal mods system will be implented rather sooner than later.
The redesign itself:
I think I was never vocal about it, so now I will post my thoughts here. It was a bit difficult to get used to it in the first weeks - no offence but Newgrounds looked always pretty simple and was never something that you would consider eyecandy - but now the site looks very colourful and stylish and I must say that the layout grew on me. Definitely one of the most beautiful sites out there - other flash sites can't compare with it in my opinion.
A big advantage is that new features can finally be added more quickly - the improvements that have been made since the redseign are immense.
So all in all I am very happy with it and I am looking forward to more - this could be the year of Newgrounds in terms of improving the site.
Feel free to leave a comment here, also if you want to get interviewed or want to request a interview with someone :3
