What is Snubby Land?

Snubby Land is basically a portfolio of my Flash work (mostly cartoons and games). The full name of the company is Snubby Land Creative Media, which I chose at age 13 when my dad first got me a website. This site was popularized by my release of The World's Hardest Game in 2007.

Stevie
I've made 32 Cartoons, 12 Games and 6 Websites.

My full name is Stephen Bard Critoph and my birthday is April 23, 1991. I do full-time freelance Flash developement and web design.

I started using Flash at around age 13, and have since created a bunch of crappy cartoons and games which I display here. I started out doing Flash as a hobby for the first few years and I got decent at it a little after the Flash game sponsorship "boom" kind of set in (where sponsors will pay artists for branding of their games). After getting The World's Hardest Game and SUPERTANK sponsored by Armor Games. I later moved to Addicting Games, who offered to sponsor TWHG2 and also created a TWHG iPhone App.

In March, 2009 (grade 12) I started work on Straight Bullyism, and soon decided to drop out of highschool and work on the game fulltime. I moved into my own place in July, and have been working on the game ever since. I plan to have it done in 2011, and then I'll reaallllyy have something to write here. uuuuugggghhhhh...

Isaiah
I've made 7 Cartoons.

Isaiah is a good friend and amateur Flash artist. Isaiah was going to be my partner but it didn't work out, but anything he manages to finish will still be put up on the site.

Sponsors and Friends

Sponsors

The following is a list of my game sponsors. They pay me money for the right to brand their logo (and other links) into my games. These sponsors are where most of my money comes from, so they're very helpful!

Addicting Games (addictinggames.com)
Zip Lehnus and Addicting Games have helped Snubby Land very much. Zip is a representative of Addicting Games who approached me with the idea of making The World's Hardest Game 2 (which they sponsored). Addicting Games also was the top promoter of the original World's Hardest Game; check out how many hits they gave me (it shows the hits beside the description under the game)! Zip was nice enough to help me out in numerous other ways that I can't mention, and they even sent me a huge developer bonus months after the game was made and paid for. What an awesome sponsor!

Armor Games (armorgames.com)
Daniel McNeely of Armor Games had sponsored many of our games, which has helped the website get off the ground. They have sponsored Guess the Price (however it never made it onto their website), The World's Hardest Game (their copy), and SUPERTANK (their copy). I originally approached Daniel (because he was the most popular sponsor at the time, and still is) about sponsoring Hurry Bird 2, but he wasn't interested. However, when I pitched him the idea of Guess the Price he decided to throw me a bone, and it became my very first sponsored game. It was his generosity there that helped me get more sponsorships in the future. Thanks, Armor Games!


Apart from our game sponsors, here are any other parties that pay us money and help keep the site running.

Google AdSense (google.com/adsense)
Google Adsense has helped the site for years by paying us per click for the ads of their's that we've embedded on our site; there's one under the header, at the bottom of the sidebar and at the top of the footer. We also have an ad in most of our popup windows. Google sends us a cheque every month, and despite them always being late, giving us less-than-fair rates sometimes, or forgetting to send a cheque from time to time, the money they pay us helps out a LOT.


Friends

The following is a list of the websites and people that have helped Snubby Land over the years.

Newgrounds (newgrounds.com)
Newgrounds is the home of Flash. I would always strive to win the awards on their website, which helped me hone my skills. Tom Fulp (owner of Newgrounds) has also personally helped Snubby Land become more popular by putting our content on the front page of their website from time to time, which always brings in a fair amount of hits. They were also nice enough to give me my own Duck Luck Collection, which helped the series get more fans and acknowledgement. I hope that one day they can sponsor me as well.

Ansel Lies (ansel.newgrounds.com)
Ansel is a really talented artist that I've worked with on a few projects. He was the artist who worked with me on SUPERTANK and he competed in the Stick Animation Contest. He's a really cool guy, and you'll be seeing more of him and I partnering up in the future.

SweetSkater (spamtheweb.com)
I've known SweetSkater over the Internet for quite a long time, and he's worked with me and supported Snubby Land. We partnered up for the game Halloween Tricks, and he also competed in the Stick Animation Contest.

Mexifry895 (mexifry895.newgrounds.com)
Mexifry895 is a huge fan, contributor and supporter of Snubby Land. He created the music that was used in The World's Hardest Game 2, he was a moderator on the old Snubby Land forums, and he's been pretty helpful and positive all the time we've known him.

Thomas MacDonald (tommac.newgrounds.com)
Thomas (AKA Tommac) of OO Designs is a great artist and long-time fan of Snubby Land; he's been around for years. I worked with him on Guess the Price which he contributed some additional art to.

Penboy (zaconfire.com)
Penboy is a pretty cool guy, we worked together on CARNAGE! and he's been in a few of the places I've been on the Internet.
