NGAP20 Collab Reflection

Posted by MasterHand4444 - March 19th, 2023


The Newgrounds Audio Portal 20th Anniversary Collaboration is finally out, and all the individual segments I was apart of have been posted! I'll be talking about them in the order that I joined the projects.


First off, we have "Customer Shrirvice." This was my segment featuring NickSenny and OctoBlitz on vocals.

This segment was so, so much fun to make. SHRIMP-OS has a special place in my NG brain, and I wanted to pay homage to it with my segment. I included as many references to the original game as possible, and I wanted the track to evoke the feeling of playing the game while also sounding distinct. The idea of a customer service hotline for shrimp is so funny and it feels like it goes along (pardon the pun) swimmingly with the world the game set up, so I'm very proud of how everything turned out.


Next, we have "Lifeline." This was Troisnyx's segment featuring both her and I on vocals.

I originally wrote more for this than my little segment, but I misunderstood the assignment and wrote lyrics that didn't work well with the tempo of the song. However, Troisnyx decided to rap for the first time to make up for my shortcoming, and the result is a beautiful song all her own. Troi tells the full story in the song's description, and it's deeply personal, moving, and motivating, so please do yourself a favor and give it a read.


Finally, we have "Only The Start." This was NikoN1nja's segment featuring me on vocals.

This song was arguably the one I had the most trouble with! I volunteered to help Niko with vocals since his original partner dipped out, and not only was my singing off key, but we had some trouble with the mixing. I'm glad we finally got it made though because it turned out well! This song was a rock anthem about how Newgrounds can be the start of something wonderful creatively.


Thank you endlessly to these four wonderful people who worked with me. The NGAP20 collab was such a wonderful experience and I am very blessed to have been apart of it. I hope I can collab with you guys again sooner rather than later, and I hope that I can collab with even more wonderful people on this wonderful website.


(PS: I may or may not be cooking up an idea for a collaboration of my own in the NGAP Collab Center discord server! Be sure to join the Discord so you can get the scoop on that, as well as any future collabs that come out of the server!)
