Next trivial trivia game is coming soon. Just got one last thing to test before that publish button hits. As an eager beaver for trivia I've also scheduled the game to auto publish tomorrow at 1AM - so this will be a quick test session one way or another!

Anyway, the game has 320 something questions in total which is kinda cool. More than I expected, more than the Newgrounds collection at launch, and the questions are mostly evenly distributed across topics/packs which is nice.

I'll post a follow up to this whenever the game does go live so don't you worry about missing out and having the game go under the radar!

Next up: hot dog rubbing.

Oh boy are you in for a treat.

The submission page is made but this trivia stuff is kicking butt right now. Something about a bunch of trivia packs needing some higher-quality questions and stuff..

Anyway, this game definitely won't be out by August 1 - maybe end of august?

Here's your spoiler on the premise:

I can't wait for you guys to get rubbing and make some hot dogs!

Never expected to have an audio track of mine featured/frontpaged - thanks!

The game it'll be part of released in prob 2ish weeks from now. see if it fits with the theme!

In case no one was paying attention (was probably just me), Pico Rubber is now at 3.85/5 rating. I've occasionally been watching the rating just because I don't get the rise in rating. For some reason, it's rating has been climbing from 3.5, to 3.6, and now sits at 3.85. Is it worthy of that rating? who knows, ya'll voted for it.

I mentioned in a previous post (https://applessmillion.newgrounds.com/news/post/1454782) that I would spit out another one of these things if the ratings kept climbing, and it did! My unannounced threshold of being motivated enough to cobble together another rubbing game was a 3.85 rating, and here we are.

The deets

I plan to release some form of rubber game by the first weekend of August. The next Trivial Trivia game is currently 1st priority for the team, so I'm not about to slack on that. After TT is looking good ya'll are getting some new rubber incremental game like Pico Rubber. Depending on time (this game is going out regardless) you might see some neat features, you might not. It'll be a surprise for us both!

I just got new images added to the next TT game and I think it is looking pretty. Felt the fonts and colors of the last game could've used some work and I think I found a new font I like - Josefin Sans (thanks google fonts). Felt like sharing the pretty by posting a quick pic below:

There's only one trivia pack in the new collection so far, so there's quite a bit of work to go... It will at least be pretty! Kabobble is also cooking away at the not-so-pretty side of things and we'll have some neat new features prepped and ready to go (that debug sticker is new too...)

Posting a quick stats update on behalf of Kabobble as they usually like to do this & is currently away for a bit. Got that Freedom day and all this week

As a reminder, GM0 is Nintendo, GM1 is Microsoft, GM2 is Sony, and GM3 is PC

Surprising to me this game is actually going pretty strong! A lot of not-signed-in-NG-users are still playing the game, who seem to favor the Nintendo category for one reason or another. That gamemode is cookin' with answers and busts. Other categories seem to be doing pretty good too, with Sony console titles getting guessed 100% on the first try today which is kinda cool. I at least hope that's what this is and stats tracking didn't break in an update pushed last night (EDIT: Oh I see why people got this in no problem)

ALSO: Day 4 will be the first day you can get the 15 Correct achievement, so good luck with that!

Have you played Trivial Trivia games? If so, it's probably the most recent Newgrounds one which is great!

It's been 1 month since the release and we wanna know what you think. It's a 100% anonymous survey so feel free to let me know what you really think.

It's like a google form but Microsoft branded.

any feedback or commentary is welcome of course

In case you have no clue what Trivial Trivia is, check this game out and leave some feedback!

somehow this game is getting over 100 views a day? And a lot of leaderboard submissions?? This is not a 'flex' or whatever - I'm genuinely perplexed by the fact this game has a rating that went from 3.5, to 3.75, and is now sitting at 3.8... I would assume people are in the joke that this is a 'joke' game from May, but then you see this:

This doesn't include the guy with 99 hours. I really hope these people forgot the game was in a forgotten tab on mute... I could not imagine listening to that background music looping for more than 30 seconds...

Do you REALLY want these rubbing games so badly? I have access to another HTML game that would even be better to Frankenstein than the trivial trivia game, so do you really want that?? I originally had planned to make an idle/incremental game that would be incredibly unique, with a story and everything, but if 4 hours of my time resulted in this much investment by this many people... should I toss out something quick and easy instead?

If I see this game still doing well next month and moving up in the score, you're getting something like Tankman Rubber 2024...

I hear your messages loud and clear, you want another rubbing game, I think. There's way too many good reviews on Pico Rubber for me to think otherwise at least. Well you'll have to wait until probably July at the earliest. Got some heavy lifting to do on a funner project beforehand.

I've got some ideas to put a spin on the usual incremental type of game, so we'll see what's possible. Also deciding on whether I want to crack open Adobe Flash to make a game or Frankenstein Kabobble's trivia framework like I did for ol Pico.

I'm tired of batteries and electricity in my rubbing games, so it'll be a fresh subject too.

Question will really end up being - will it be a good game or a joke game to satisfy the apparent need for this kind of game?

More questions will be added onto the NG Trivial Trivia game! I'm motivated enough to scour the dankest parts of the site to gather enough questions for at least 50 per pack. The main NG one will get at least 10 new questions too. Thanks to @MicroBihon for tossing some ideas our way about submissions and content we missed. Turns out, when something gets banned from Newgrounds it's hard to find! Also thanks (not really though) to Fox News for covering the 'controversial' highlights over the years.

Expect to see one "final" update to the game this Friday adding these questions + the supporter preview already out now. There's been maybe 2-3 final updates last week but this one will really kinda be the final one unless new NG Wiki content is added OR BBS becomes easier to search. I appreciate all the history and public info available on the site, but wow it can be hard to find info sometimes (.

Sidebar:

Been making some music over the last week for a project in the pipeline that probably won't see the light of day (motivation issue). Also tossed some soundpools together to make some noise for another Kabobble project that'll be scheduled for next month, so if you like what I can toss together musically, you're in luck.
