One last random thing I guess I'll throw in is for games that have achievement support will those still be compatible because your running this in a separate client.ĭon't mean to overload you with questions, but I'm trying to do my own research.Īs far as I'm concerned NG Flash player is just a frontend for typical Adobe standalone flash projector. Also this is flash still technically so is it still going to be supported by browsers (what i'm trying to say is - it's still flash even if it's newgrounds flash edition) so how do I know that the browsers will allow the newgrounds flash player to continually run. Would it be compatible with those, or is it newgrounds exclusive (i'm assuming it's exclusive). However the player is newgrounds player exclusive to newgrounds. I'm really glad to see that newgrounds made something for this to support their stuff so it dosen't die. be honest, didn't know anything about newgrounds flash player. Maybe I'm reading all of this wrong and jumping to conclusions but as far as I can tell tons of old content that uses flash will be unsupported and completely un-usable.Īt 8/7/19 02:04 PM, arttrooper2 wrote: At 8/7/19 01:49 PM, Makakaov wrote:

You get the point the list goes on, and many old sites that solely ran on flash will be completely un-usable now too.Īll of this said, unless I'm missing something please feel free to correct me. Some of the places I can name on top of my head (and trust me there's way way more than what i'm putting here, not even scratching the surface) I know use flash too would be places like: armorgames, miniclip, coolmathgames (oh yes I went there), addictinggames, I think runescape browser still uses flash, funorb was another - but sadly that gutted a while back so that no longer exist but it used flash too, and of course here newgrounds. I used to go on tons of older websites (many of which sadly don't exist anymore and dissapeard), but will they follow the same steps as newground or what. Newgrounds isn't the only place impacted. I think it should be open sourced and continue to receive support even if it's not up to date to support older content (but that's just my opinion). I know there's a lot of changes with support for HTML5 and so on, but I am really sad that flash is dying. Tons of animations and old web games I used to play growing up will be no longer playable or watchable anymore.


Of course that options there *for now* but what happens in a few months when flash is no longer supported? Flash won't be an option anymore so will videos just use HTML5 (like migrate automatically) or will old content be on this site with no support to run things like older videos and/or games. I just tried to visit a older video today and it wouldn't play because it asked do I want to run flash. Maybe some of the newer stuff doesn't? But lots of the older stuff does for sure. That said: how is newgrounds going to respond to this situation? I know there's TONS of content on here that still uses flash. I just hopped on google chrome today and was greeted with a little message that said:įlash Player will no longer be supported after December 2020.
