A bit of an arbitrary rule, I've yet to meet a group of people with the exact same workflow and toolset. Whatever gets the job done / you're comfortable with

Look at gamejam communities - most of them don't care about the tech you use, what matters is the general effect/feeling/fun. Most of the gamejam games are so simple that they could be done on almost all decent game engines, anyway. When it comes to music and art the software also doesn't really matter - there's good freeware competitors to paid stuff like FL studio or Photoshop. What really matters is chosing some topic or theme, that everyone must fit into.
The idea itself is pretty cool imo. But for 5th discipline I'd try to add something different, like literature cathegory. Or say a week long collab project, something big.
I hadn't thought of game jams when I wrote this despite being in quite a few, but 48 or 72 hours would be an interesting limitation to impose on a few of the categories. I've made a few solo games in 48, in one of the jams I did solo back in the day I did all the music, art and gameplay in 72 hours even though it turned out pretty shit.
The only exception I would make to that would be Movies, specifically animations. They would amost need a full 72 on their own to make something that won't immediately be blammed.
A Newgrounds Penthathlon
Posted August 5th, 2019 in General
Wondering was something like this ever done, where the challenge is to make one item from every category of media on Newgrounds in a limited amount of time?
If it hasn't, I guess the answer why not is obvious, not everyone can / wants to make something in an medium they might never have tried before, but it might be an interesting idea.
As for the pentathlon having 5 events, it could go something like this: Audio is self-explanatory, anything goes. As for Movies, Games and Art, you would create one entry of each, then an additional one made with an entirely different method (i.e. if you make a 2D Movie, game and art but wanted to make an additional game, the final game would be in 3D)

Response to: Is newgrounds worth it?
Posted July 9th, 2018 in Art
For games, absolutely (EDIT: I'm a dumbass who didn't read the subforum this was posted in). I can't really comment on anything else, and with art and audio there's the whole scouting process... But I can say this: My games have been played more here than on GameJolt and Itch combined, and I received actual feedback here, I didn't get any interaction whatsoever anywhere else.

Is 6.2 gb before compression?
Yeah, before. Final video is 790MB
I've done timelapses with no art in them as well, but now that I compared them it's not as interesting. Could be down to the music though.

The trick is to record at low bitrates and a low framerate, then speed it up afterwards.
I like to record at 1000kb/s and 5FPS, then usually speed it up 12x for a 60FPS video.
Almost 14 hours of footage = 6.2GB

Just intersperse it with a bit of testing every now and then and it all works out

Anyone else make these? I like looking back over what I did, kinda like speedpaints.

Response to: Unity3d WebGL Support
Posted April 23rd, 2017 in Game Development
Are they ever going to fix Keyboard input either not being read or sticking after release? And WebGL seems to love randomly omitting a script or 2 just to cause a headache for me.
At this rate it seems best practice is make mouse controlled games and pray nothing goes wrong in the build or you have a horrible time
