Yippieee!

Hii. This is a doodle post and also kind of a update. Been busy with real life and other stuff rn so I haven't set up a place for my PC yet unfortunately, but I'm hoping to very soon cause I hate slacking and I NEED to get some music out.

Anyway I've been on a ginormous Katamari high lately and sometimes I like doodling the characters on my phone. It's also been good practice for me to at least do some drawing on my phone so I don't have to totally rely on my PC and a mouse.

1. The Prince, Fujio and Foomin

2. Johnson, Miso, Peso, Nik and Odeon

3. Shy, Ichigo, Daisy and Signolo

4. The King of All Cosmos as a baby boy

5. The King and The Prince

I did my recent Yume drawing using my phone too and I think it turned out alright.

Anyways that's about it. I hope you all have a good weekend. Love ya!! <3

Hii, I've come here to announce that my album from last year is now on Spotify, Apple Music, and other music streaming services.

So now you can listen to some of my major work any time and anywhere!

This special edition of the album includes one extra track that wasn't included on the original album, so you all get something extra.

Hi, it's me, your pal Tritnew. February was eventful to say the least. 

I've officially moved states and right now I'm at the point where I have to figure out a place for my PC to start work again. I have quite a bit planned for you all and I can't wait to show it to you.

A EP is in the works and I got not one but TWO audio portal collabs coming up, so please look forward to that!

For now, I decided to make a Spotify playlist for my character Yume, called "YumeFavz".

Give it a listen, it'll get updated sometimes.

Anyways, hope you have an amazing day, or evening, and I hope you look forward to new stuff. I'll get to work on it as soon as I can.

I love you all! <3

Hi, it's probably no surprise that yeah, I'm not doing that great. But I figure I'd make a whole post talking in more detail about it, cause I don't know where else to plaster these feelings and I'd rather not burden my friends with what I'm feeling, much less randos in a server.

So what better way than to 500+ of ya.

First things first, I've made it a sort of mini resolution to cut my stupid fucking humor out. If you know, you know, but if you don't... It tends to get "weird" or "cursed" or whatever. At this point I feel it's become a part of me to be "weird" or "cursed", but frankly...

I don't like it. I don't want to be known for this, and I don't want to drive people away from me because I'm stupidly eccentric, and frankly, it's just try hard.

So, I'm working on that. It'll hurt when people say "FINALLY" or say that I was too much, but that's just how it is, you know. Maybe people, even my friends, will like me better, but I doubt it because there's a lot more I could work on about myself. Like stopping myself from being an opinionated asshat, or info dumping about my stupid fucking hyperfixations.

That's not the only thing that's been bugging me, but having a slight popularity has been a thing I've been struggling with.

Because, outside of being good to decent at music... who am I? Except some boring guy who plays video games and lives on pennies, and doesn't go out much. It's something I tend to realize when I talk to people in DMs or in VCs when I go in.

"Hey how was your day?"

"Oh I just ate and played video games."

Then the response to that varies. I've looked back at all that and realized just... how boring I actually am, and I want to change that so badly, I want to be able to say that I went out and did something, or this or that.

...but I can't really force myself to Instagramify my life.

So I feel having this kind of "popularity", tends to oversell myself to you all, or even push people away from talking to me too, just because of my numbers. I'm... Just like anyone of you, and I don't mind getting DM'd at all, it's not a bother, and even then I'd let you know if it was.

Of course I appreciate every single one of you, so please don't take this as me saying "FUCK YOU ALL YOU'RE RUINING MY LIFE!!!" because that's far from how I feel, I love you all.

Anyways, I have plenty more on my mind, but I feel that's too much for anywhere really. These are just the biggest things that's been plaguing me that I wanted to talk about.

I promise the next news post will be something more than me whining, something a bit more jolly, hopefully I announce something maybe...

I just needed to let this all out.

Follow the rhythm, not the algorithm.

P.S.: A pal doodled Yume and Blimbo, check it out!

A update, woo.

Right now I'm still unable to use my PC, as me, my dad, probably my whole family caught COVID-19, so no progress was made to get moved and my PC remains packed away.

Which is probably a good thing, cause I am creatively drained right now, and even if I tried to make something it wouldn't be good. Just a curse for me at the beginning of each year at this point.

Right now my mood has just been up and down, but that's typical.

Hope everyone's January is going good, I hope I'll see to making things next month for you all.

<3 -Tritnew 

P.S.: Happy Pixel Day! As always, I have nothing. :< Also check out this cool art of Yume by my pal.

P.S.: If I forgot anyone, feel free to comment and call me out. <3

Hi everyone, just thought I'd talk about my 2023 on NG and what went on during my life.

Life Stuff

Generally this year had it's ups and downs, pretty high ups but pretty low downs. I met a lot of friends, especially on NG and NG circles on Twitter, I organized my first ever NG collab, finished an full album, had some mental health issues, among other personal issues.

But I would say that 2023 was a big improvement over last year, for sure! I hope things improve from here on out.

Back to semi regular submissions

I started to post a lot of tracks again after a hiatus, my creative burn out finally slowing to a crawl. Unfortunately due to a move I have to take another hiatus, but I've been itching a lot to start work again very soon.

Here's some personal favorites:

Albums Galore

During the summer I organized a Newgrounds exclusive collaborative album titled Slumberland, which garnered more than 11,000 listens at the time of writing this. 

It was a even bigger surprise to see the album officially advertised for more than a day on the frontpage as a banner. 

A very special thank you to Tom for slapping it on the frontpage banner and alongside the NG community being super supportive of the project, the wonderful musicians who participated to make it happen, and @KingCrowned for making the pretty banner. I cannot thank you enough.

And of course, I made my first full, actually half hour long album called EMOTICON HEARTZ, with good feedback.

You can listen to both right here, and buy EMOTICON HEARTZ on Bandcamp!:

Buy EMOTICON HEARTZ here.

Epic Video Games

I did some music for two of @Taka's games, Beck Gets Bitches for the Three Star Game Jam and Blam and Protectfor Pixel Day. Check them out!

Here's two tracks I've uploaded of the Blam and Protect soundtrack. I have some unreleased tracks that are exclusive to the sound test images that unfortunately haven't been discovered as far as I know, so I'll be releasing those soon.

I finally worked on my first ever game, BLIMBO, and made everything including the entire soundtrack myself. You can play it here and download the soundtrack on my Bandcamp page.

Download the soundtrack here.

I also uploaded some music tracks here, I plan on uploading the rest of it very soon and place them in their very own playlist.

NGAP Collab Center

Due to a very big meanie who did very not nice things, I was chosen to be an admin and co-owner of the Audio Portal Collab Center discord server alongside @AhWham and Ahri. We were on the verge of wanting to trash it altogether but we managed to salvage it and make it even better. 

If you want a place to hang out and join in or organize music and audio collabs in a more accessible way, look no further! 

https://discord.gg/SRzqutEVhR

Here's a playlist AhWham made that includes every collab organized in it, including Slumberland:

Upcoming Projects

I have a new NG music collab in the works for either early this year or this coming summer, not sure which, and a NG timed exclusive EP as well. 

A sequel to BLIMBO is also being planned, and I do intend for it to be even better and higher quality than the first, and in a totally different gameplay style. I'll be searching for programmers soon!

...and that's about it as far as I know.

In Conclusion

2023 was great here on NG and so-so in my personal life. Here's hoping 2024 is better on both fronts. But before I go...

I want to thank all 500+ of my NG fans and all my friends for helping me keep going. Thank you so much, and I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.

See you next year!

-Tritnew

Hey. A nice upbeat update for once. :) It seems the beginning of most months always start off rough but, it gets better eventually. Weird cycle.

Just thought I'd discuss my projects that came out this month and what I've been doing in the NG circles.

Slumberland Music Collab

After almost two months, the Slumberland Music Collab album finally dropped with a big fat positive reception. 

It felt so surreal seeing any kind of project of mine get on the frontpage banner, but it happened!

I still can't thank everyone who participated enough for helping me make this happen. I've been wanting to start a music collab since I started using the site two years ago but waited till I was established enough in the community.

Although I did miss to include some tracks, it was all on accident though I assure you, I just wanted to get it all done on time! That's why I made a special playlist that includes the album plus what didn't make it in.

Listen to it here:

BLIMBO

This same month I decided to finally make something in RPG Maker, I had this idea of a character called Blimbo for almost a year, and I wanted it to be an adventure game akin to Zelda.

I'd been replaying the Mother series recently however, and found that making a loving parody/satire of EarthBound-inspired RPGs would be fun.

Thus, BLIMBO was born.

I'd like to make a entire news post dedicated to my thought process and all that but for now...

Give it a shot right here!:

NG Audio Portal Collab Center's newest co-owner!

Due to a unfortunate situation that I don't want to get into here, if you know you know, I was assigned as a new co-owner of the NG Audio Portal Collab Center discord server, alongside @AhWham and Ahri.

We've been working hard on revamping and cleaning up the server, and right now it's back open for anyone to join!

If you want to hang out and meet new people to partner up with for a music collab, or a place where you can easily make music/audio collabs happen, then the NGAP Collab Center is the place for you!

Here's a invite link:

General Life Things

It's been okay. After working on all these projects, I've just been wanting to take a break and relax (as best as I can at least). But I'll admit, it's been boring without coming up with or making something.

But I got things to keep me somewhat busy, I'll be moving to another state soon, won't be disclosing where, if you're super close to me or something then you know already.

And outside of Discord and NG, I will be taking a break from the internet and you probably won't see me online anywhere else as much.

Hope everyone else has been doing good. 

Stay safe!

Hey all! I decided to finally make my very own little game, and after two weeks of work and some polishing, it's finally released.

It's called BLIMBO!

It's a RPG so it might not be to everyone's taste, but I made sure to make it as much fun as I can. Should take up at least half a hour of your time.

I hope y'all enjoy it! If you find any bugs or want to offer any critique then feel free. I'll be sure to update the game when I can.
