The voter of the month and winner of honorary Supporter status is @WhatHitYou!

Congrats to the winners and thank you everyone who participated in April! If you wanted to see one of your favorites in a winning slot, be sure to participate in the monthly voting pool if you get a PM invite from @P-Bot.

I've added our $250 animation prize to the monthly Supporter stretch goals, in addition to the remaining $850 in Pico Day prize money. It would be much appreciated if we covered both this month! Web ads continue their downward tragectory and we need to aggressively keep raising our goals for monthly support. The goals we set are intended to be attainable but they need to be higher for the site to truly be sustainable.

If you missed it, check out our Flinthook Art Contest winners!

Congrats to the winners!

There was a lot of really good stuff in April. We watched quite a
few of these during our Home Made PicoDay party. Starbarians 3*
got tons of laughs from everybody there. So much effort behind
an April fool's prank!

Starbarians was fantastic, definitely deserves the top spot. I'm sure most have seen it by now but if you haven't, Harry was posting a bunch of clips of dropped projects on his twitter last month. Really awe inspiring stuff.

The guy who did that's been animating for a while now, mostly on Vimeo, no idea why he's taken so long to discover NG


Vault 101 I have (LOST) many old and deleted Flash submissions, (you can't) PM me (dammit Tom) the filename, maybe I (godhelpmeonedayIwill) got it.

I actually reached out to him after stumbling upon his work. Glad he came by. :)

Congrats to all the winners! ^_^

I was really pulling for Universal Donor, so I am glad to see it got so close. It truly was a beautiful piece that happened to be in one of the most competitive months. A Girl You can't See was sweet, and I voted for Ketchup Golem. Overall, great stuff and the best month in a long time!

AOK came out with so much content and deserve praise as well.

Let's hope we get another great month.

RIP Sonic

I'm surprised Resident Ebil didn't score higher.
