An old NG user who refuses to accept Flash is no longer viable for game dev. I just want to make games and live peacefully. Is that too much? I once placed in the top 5 of the month. Started with sprite animations, then learned music, design, and coding.

Flash Forwarder Tools 2.0 is Here: A NG Player Alternative

Posted by Sonucais - 5 hours ago


iu_1305371_1253649.png

I’m excited to announce a new release of Flash Forwarder Tools! This new version introduces two major features: a redesigned desktop Flash Player 32 projector with an improved user interface and a Chrome extension that forwards Flash content to the desktop app for seamless playback.


Why Flash Forwarder Tools?

Despite the growing compatibility of Ruffle, many Flash submissions remain unplayable. Additionally, many users still report persistent issues with getting the Newgrounds Player to work. FFT bridges these gaps by providing a reliable and flexible solution for Flash fans.



Features


⠀ 🔹 Desktop Player:

  • Full-Screen Playback: Enjoy Flash games and animations in full-screen mode.
  • Search & Random Browsing: Find Newgrounds content by submission ID or explore random submissions (from ID 1 to 593648, no adult content).
  • Submission Details: View submission title, author, and description directly in the app.
  • SWF Management: Backup SWF files from Newgrounds for offline use.
  • Play History: Keep track of up to 5 recently played submissions.


⠀ 🔹 Browser Extension (Chrome/Edge/Brave)

  • Automatic Detection: Identifies Flash content on any webpage.
  • One-Click Playback: Launch Flash content instantly in the desktop app.
  • Newgrounds.io Integration: Unlock medals and API features when playing Newgrounds submissions. When launching the game, make sure you are logged in.


Currently only available for Windows. I had previous attempts doing a MacOS and Linux builds and I failed delivering them. I’m open collaborating with MacOS/Linux users who have development skills to help expand compatibility.

WOAH! New SWF Player?! So radical and cool! You've earnt a follower!

Nice!
Now I give you a follow here

Is the project open-source?

The FLA is a freaking mess but here you have https://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/054969bed180d5c801579de03fceefb2

Impresssive, cool, and unexpected!

When you put the animations in full screen for flash games in animations, will it make them widescreen (not stretched) where you can see everything that isn't supposed to be seen?

No, it stretches by default and only shows the intented area, but you can change it inside the player to another graphical option.

Well thank you for your work.

i like this ngl

Good jorb
