SHIFT and the FUTURE!

Hi everyone, First of all THANKS to everyone who helped SHIFT rank NUMBER 1 ON NEWGROUNDS!
I Don't think I have to explain to any developers out there what an absolute dream come true that is. When I started flash those years ago, if you were to tell me I'd have that coveted #1 on one of my submissions I would have shown you the door.
I know of course, that nothing stays at the top forever, and the top 50 list can be a fickle place of downvoting etc, but I'm eternally happy now I've got my printscreened self made souvenir which I
shall be promptly printing out and hanging on my wall along with my handful of other NG certificates and laminated Newgrounds check (Mr. Fulps signature and note stating "Well done" Is worth way more than $250 :D*)
I'd like to thank Chris Ignatov for once again doing a great job on the graphics of SHIFT.
I would also like to thank Armor Games for employing me to do what I love, my life has been forever changed by their kindness, and theyre all a great bunch of guys.
As for the future, I'm currently working on a level editor for SHIFT so everyone can make their own puzzles in it and maybe get them included in the sequel. I'll be releasing more details soon.
*As for those of you thinking that my not spending the money awarded to me by Newgrounds is ungrateful, and means that someone else has gone without because of it, I would hereby like to declare that i will forward the $250 from my own bank account to a game author in the next month with a submission which really catches my eye innovation wise. I would like to assert that NG score will have nothing to do with the choice I make, but no doubt that a great game will score well anyway. I would ask that if you want to be considered for this offer, post a link to your submission as a reply to this post so I may find it easily.

Thankyou so so much Newgrounds,
Antony of The-Exp, and Armor Games

MorrowDays 2008-02-06 20:43:33

you seem nice. :) congrats, it was an amazing game.

Hamalo 2008-02-06 22:24:36

Hmm...right now your not even on the top 50? Can I see that screeny.

Shift was a great game, btw, I loved how you could switch the screen, it was original, and it was just awesome, please make a sequel!

The-EXP 2008-02-06 22:24:36

Ah, I'm not sure what the update process with the top 50 list is, but I know that the actual ranking is done Wednesdays, I think its at he top of the list now, despite being scored less thatn Valhalla Knights 2 (go watch that, it's teh roxxors) since being at the top. Still, I'm tres tres happy that I attained that posistion :D

skater007 2008-02-07 09:46:38

Congratulations man, you dream came true :D
SHIFT is awesome, thanks for making that game!

Glunnator 2008-02-07 14:41:07

No problem! Our pleasure!

10000000000000000000 2008-02-07 15:06:10

cool game man umm do you know the fastest time for the game

mongoid 2008-02-07 19:26:22

Congrats, man! #1 of all time on NG is a big deal!

But... you're already developing a sequel? Don't you want to explore something else creatively? Maybe attempt a title under a new genre? Show us what else you're good at? I mean, making a sequel this soon off of a release kinda makes it look like you're out of ideas. :-P What else can you do with your current design other than just make new maps for it. You don't want to be the next "Bloons," do you?

The-EXP 2008-02-07 19:26:22 (Updated 2008-02-07 22:08:51)

Hehe, don't you worry, the sequel isn't due out next week or anything :p
I'm working on lots of projects simultaneously. I jsut think this game can be expanded greatly.

And what else can I do with the design you say? Just you wait, your mind will be BLOWN :p
That and a level editor - Level editors are the best thing EVAH.

Pomodorosan 2008-02-07 21:03:17

Oh my god!
I can't trust another great game on NG was posted by.. you!
I keep seeing your name on every good games I play like Inderstructo Tank or S.T.A.R. Defense (You might remember me when we talked about a new S.T.A.R. Defense map :P)
Well I simply love your games!
I'm expecting to see more of your great work on NG!!

YK-Blaze 2008-02-07 22:48:24

just so we are clear..
even if shift 2 will be awesome
don't expect an award(weekly first)

The-EXP 2008-02-07 22:48:24

I'll try my best not to, sir.

weeeners 2008-02-07 23:18:09

it was a great game but you sorta jacked from portal... o well still 10/10 (btw i played it when it came out)

FlukeDude 2008-02-08 12:08:02

DAMN where do you get your ideas from? I'd say this and Indestructotank are two of the most innovative games on Newgrounds.

Neiliomedeilio 2008-02-09 02:18:01

Portal reference = win

Dead-eagle 2008-02-09 22:24:39
