2021 Recap

Posted by Anonymous-Frog - January 3rd, 2022


With 2021 coming to an end, how about I recap what went on during my entire career.

Here's a recap of previous years.

2021 Recap

January:

I started the year with THE first ever Newgrounds submission that year, a survival guide for Newgrounds creators in 2021


While still new to Flash, I would work on the Anonymous Frog Day Special to celebrate one year of making cartoons (which someone never did for their anniversary, but I won't spoil that until later)


Most of my time was spent working on the Frog Flood series, which I planned to release every day on February as part of the Clock Crew's annual Flash Flood, which they had brought back the previous year.


I would also work on various tracks, which I would then release as Half-In, my first album, available on Bandcamp. One of the tracks was an entry for the Video Game Music Challenge.


January 23rd was also Pixel Day. I would post three Art submissions.

This was originally on my @AnonymousFrogClock account, but I deleted it and reposted it on my main.

I believe my old crappy MS Paint doodles stemmed from an attempt to use hundreds more pixels than I really need to.


To cash in on the Flash Forward Jam, as well as my long-standing but ultimately unproven claim to be the last ever Flash animator / developer, I would work on Grubhub Assassin, which also cashes in on the overall stupidity of the Grubhub commercials that aired around the time:


I also posted character cards for an upcoming Anonymous Frog spinoff I never got around to working on. I will in the future.


February:

I uploaded my Flash Flood submissions, which included both a video file and a SWF file (except two which only had SWF files). I would also keep a playlist of the other Clocks' submissions

Frog Flood:

I'd also post the soundtrack to Frog Flood to Bandcamp and Newgrounds. There was also a Newgrounds Orchestral Composition Contest 2021 that I participated in.

I reworked an alternate version into the Frog Flood soundtrack.


March:

I would try to work on Season 4 of Anonymous Frog. My original plan was to release Episode 1 on Pico Day, Episode 2 sometime after, and Episode 3 on Madness Day. Nothing ever came out of that month, aside from an entry for the FNF Jam, which I had later deleted at the end of the jam.

I did do some pixel art though.


Meanwhile on YouTube, Iceologer's Revenge blew up and got over 15,000 views.

April:

I faked my death for April Fools after noticing two users do it for real. May they rest in peace. I probably won't do that until at least a year from now according to my estimations (or at least that's what Edd said)

There were no real major projects released that month, but I did release a 'game' for an intentionally bad game jam.


May:

Pico Day was May 1st and all I had to show for it was a 4K illustration of the blood you don't get to see in Pico's School.

Took me 4 days to make due to Paint taking 4 hours to render the bloody thing!


And @Piconjo came back, so I cashed in with a few more art bits. At first I thought Piconjo wore purple, but I then learned that was a totally different character.


I rickrolled the Lock Legion on Lock Day.


June:

For Piconjo Day, I had teh g0d of teh pr0tal fight the ol' Anonymous Frog himself.


I also launched the Tankman Triweekly, a satirical newspaper based on @TheTankTribune

https://anonymous-frog.newgrounds.com/news/post/1179407


I also did this for the Isometric Room Collab, complete with top secret curtain.


July:

I collaborated with @Erik to work on a game for @Figburn's July Game Jam.

I also worked on a Flash game which was originally scheduled for Clock Day, as well as a part for the Clock Crew's Villains classic collab


August:

I went all in on Clock Day. This is where the full movie version of Frog Flood was released, along with a game called SteakClock in the Desert (not the game I was working on previously, that may come out a lot later).

I used Scratch because it allowed me to make the game quicker (and also because I had some past experience with it a long time ago)

I would continue to use Scratch to make a few remixes and demos, but nothing too major after that.


September:

Mostly art submissions, including for two art contests I obviously wasn't going to win, so shoehorned Final Fantasy 7 characters in them (ie. the very obvious ones as I never played the original nor the remake very far)


That and I released Episode 3 of Anonymous Frog themed around Madness Combat


The rest of the episodes will be released in 2022 in reverse order


October:

I had started the NMDC on August in response to @Doobus-Goobus posting shitty movies and getting higher scores + awards than actual animations.

Technically, in terms of writing, they weren't that bad, but in terms of animation, they were mediocre, and that's one of the most important factors when posting animations on Newgrounds. I myself was just as shit as he was, but that never happened to me. Who knows? Maybe in an alternate universe where I never switched to Flash, I had gone viral on YouTube and Newgrounds one day and maybe Doobus saw ME as a threat.


Enough talk. That day I released doobus.fla. One of the first major inhouse NMDC productions


There was also a Dead Estate art contest and I snuck Barret into my shitty entry.


I also released this, an 8 minute long audio track for a level in JollyWorld, which I have been playing for over a year


As Mojang hosted another mob vote, I would work on a sequel for Iceologer's Revenge, as the original reached 20,000 views, I'm STILL working on it.


November:

For the past few months I had been watching some animated music videos made by @koit. Songs about willies, bums, poo, and some miscellaneous ones too. I animated to his song 'I Killed My Girlfriend' and released it exactly one year after Friday Night Funkin' did on Newgrounds.

Probably the only video that'll ever need trigger warnings, for all the pussies on this site.


December:

While STILL working on the Iceologer's Revenge sequel, I released two animations in my spare time


For the Clock Crew (and also the @Streamers Animation War)


For the NMDC

It was also for Doobus's apparent 1 year anniversary, which I celebrated as NMDC Day,

Well, it WOULD be Doobus's anniversary, until I discovered some deleted videos from 2016. I had archived them on an appropriately named YouTube channel.

I don't like making these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqh0lypRhR8


I also posted one doodle every day for the entire month.
