Been working on a little game for Newgrounds the past couple weeks. It's basically a recreation of an old Mario minigame for the DS, but with extra rounds to make the game more challenging.
When I started working more on the game, I realised it would lend itself pretty well to being a collab, where everyone could draw the head of a Newgrounds character. Having more characters to choose from than the base 4 makes the game a hell of a lot more challenging and also less repetitive.
The only reason I'm having second thoughts about making this a collab is because there are A LOT of art collaborations happening at the moment. I don't want it to come across like I'm hosting a collab just for the sake of hosting a collab. I'm more than capable of leaving this as a solo project, so part of me feels like it's completely unnecessary to bring lots of people on board.
Also the heads have to be drawn in a specific way to make them fair for the game. I'm not sure if I have the patience (or confidence) to get people to potentially redraw their submissions so they fit better.
Ultimately it makes no difference to me as the game is nearly done, but I think a collab would be more fun.
So I ask the wider community, do I make this game a Newgrounds themed collab, or a Psychonauts themed solo project?

In the end, do as you see fit, however I think this would make for an interesting Pixel Day Collab~!
But I'm not sure if that's Too Far or Too Close...

Pixel day is a good idea, it had completely skipped my mind. I was figuring an early January release date for a collab anyway, so it's not too far/close at all.
