GMTK Gameclub Returns - Press f To Pay Respects
🕑 Added 2020-04-02 13:30:58 +0000 UTCHey everyone. Just wanted to pass on a quick message from GMTK Gameclub host Slam. The Gameclub, if you don't know, is a monthly discussion on our Discord where we chat about a particular topic by looking at a handful of different games. All Patrons should automatically have access to the GMTK Discord.
"Hello everyone, Gameclub's back! New month means new theme, to hopefully tide you over while we're social distancing!
This month's theme will be "Press flash To Pay Respects"! If you played any independent browser game during the 2000's it's not unlikely that it was made in Adobe Flash, a massively popular animation and game creation tool.
It defined a generation of game and web developers, but in later years the software has deprecated due to a lack of updates and better tools being available. 2020 will be the last year any browser supports Adobe Flash, so let's celebrate the incredible games that began in this retro format!
We want to see your Flash favorites, whether they are still available in only Flash or updated into new forms. VVVVVV, Super Meat Boy, Bloons TD and Fancy Pants Adventure are the kind of games that we're looking for this month, so if you have any suggestions of your own head over to #gameclub-suggestions and let us know; none of the games above are set in stone!
Make sure to include a link with your suggestion; we want to make sure the game still exists (and doesn't lead to malware! These are old games!) The shortlist of games will be up sometime around Friday!"
Sounds like a fun one. Hope you all get involved!
Cheers
Mark

Sorry for the delay Matt - can you try removing and then re-adding your Discord to your Patreon account. If that doesn't work, please DM me and I'll get you on!
Matt Cramp
It looks like I've been disconnected from the Discord and re-adding my details doesn't appear to work. What should I do?
Will Kommor
FYI: Newgrounds is developing emulator software that will keep all of its animation and game content running long after the death of Flash!
Gunnar Clovis
Ah man I played soooo many old Flash games back in the day... I don't remember the names of all of them now, but I'll see what I can dig up!
