Spent the night, (and about an hour this morning) bagging these puppies up.

There are roughly 195 pins here. And since the attendance count is rounding out to almost 300, Imma be choosy who I hand these out to. If I don't recognize your username, Just show me your account.

I'll be bringing da Smokin' Pico stickers for guests and anyone else who would prefer that over the pin 🦾🤖

As Most of you know Brandy has set up whats looking to be the biggest NG meet up in some time.

I was on the fence about the TMG meet-up, but this one just feels more NG oriented , so Im definitely more amped about this one. I made some special pins to hand out for the occasion, but had only ordered about 200 of them, and had no idea this meet up would have so many people coming!. So forgive me here, but I'm gonna be picky as to who I hand them out to.. If I don't recognize you, just show me your NG page when you ask for one. ( Sorry no rando's or non NG plus ones will be getting these XD )

anyways, looking forward to it, and lets have a good time.

Happy Pico Day, (Tom's B Day)

Time to Drop some Treats. "Da Baddies" Pins Drop in

Just wanted to chime in here and say its " So far so good" for 2024. I have a bunch of projects I'm working on.

Effects for another indie game. widdling away at my Transformers Parody, a music video, roughing out the Storyboard for Unloaded 2 and finishing the still scene images for that Alloy Mod. On top of that. The Pico Pins have been a surprise hit, and I already have plans in the works to do some of the baddies of Pico's verse starting with Cassandra.

Excited to see what people think

Sup RobotHeadz, here is a list of this year's Robot Day winners.

Now remember if you didn't make the list, it doesn't mean your submission wasn't awesome, art is subjective!

It's winner's time

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1st Place:

Almost missed this one! A Slick puzzle game with its roots set in old school Wario woods mechanics, it has loads of charm, great art ,music, and solid control, This was fun to play and great to look at..

P.S. This is why proper tags are important when doing NG contests, I missed this one, and possibly would have saw it after my judging!

2nd Place:

Punk/ska is not my jam, but there is no denying this still slaps. The puny lyrics are on point, and the music and singing is pro quality. Plus that amazing song cover art by Daker777NG

3rd Place:

amazing Piece with a stylish face design,insane detail and lighting to the mecha bits.

I just really loved staring at this one.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Much Love to everyone who took the time to make a submission for Robot Day, like Seriously, it means a lot.

Honorable mentions:

This platformer is great, slick, and addictive, some moves can feel abit sticky at times, but it had the hallmark traits of classics like Mr. FancyPants and 'N" would love to see more of this one, maybe with a little splash of color.

awesome job.

A nicely detailed group shot of the gang, with some really pleasing colors, would make a great postcard

Great design, and concept, enjoy the TF Prime-styled design as well.

Love physical art and this one is just great. I cracked when I realized he had a face.

the hammered metal paneling really sells it

Awesome design and great use of colors

Great pixel art and animation

Super Slick work

Great job adding so many characters in there, ended up being a perfect site skin!

This one is a banger, the drops are solid, and the melodies at the end are just haunting. Please don't ever stop.

Hits all the right notes with that NES charm.

Winners send me your paypal details in pm,

I am totally not biased when I say this is the best Alloy animation out period..

And holie shit that sprite animation..

Seriously, seeing that intro made me feel like kid again, sitting cross-legged with a bowl of cereal, watching my Saturday morning cartoons. :*)

After you watch that killer ass intro play the damn game!!

I'm really Jonesin' for a Lorn fix..

Ive been playing their music for months now.

I want to make a playlist from NG

Are there any musicians on NG you like that hit that electronic, moody synthwave vibe?

But if anyone who links me to a song that really inspires me, will get a year sub to NG X]
