Yesterday I put in a plug for the Open Font Library.  Today I discovered another free-as-in-speech font site that's worth checking out: The League of Movable Type.  As of this post, their archive is pretty small (only 7 fonts), but each one of them is very well done.  In particular, those of you out there who are working on sci-fi games may want to take a look at Orbitron, which is the sort of font that goes on the side of a s

It's been mentioned several times in the past that one necessary thing OGA lacks is a decent selection of fonts.  In fact, I would venture to say that in general it's been very difficult to find good, free fonts out on the internet.  Of course, there are a lot of sites out there with tons of "free" fonts, but when you look closely at them, you'll discover that the random and arbitrary licensing restrictions on most of said fonts prevent you from using them for any sort of serious work, either Open Source or commercial.

Congratulations to Osmic, winner of the OGA 3D Sci-Fi Props contest!  This was far more extensive than we were expecting -- you could furnish most of a space station with this stuff! :)

For this amazing entry, Osmic will receive a $75 Amazon gift certificate.  The objects can be downloaded at this link:

Just wanted to put out a quick reminder about the Sci-Fi props contest we're running.  We're giving away Amazon gift cards and Google Wave invites (if you don't already have one).  You can read more about the contest here.  The contest ends on the 28th of December, so now is a great time to get started! :)

Over the next several weeks, OGA will be running a 3D modeling contest.  We'll be asking that people submit Sci-Fi props (guns, crates, medkits, devices, etc) in the 3D format of their choice.

Here are the rules, in brief:

Hey folks!

So, OGA has a list of feature requests that's a mile long, and I, as the lone developer, simply don't have enough time to tackle them all.  If you're an experienced php coder (particularly if you know Drupal), OGA could use your help debugging and adding new features.  If you'd be interested in volunteering your mad coding skillz, please reply here or send me a message with the contact form.

Thanks!

Bart

Quite a traffic spike we're getting today.  Those of who who haven't seen OGA before, welcome to the site.  We're glad to have you here. :)

Feel free to browse around, grab some content and use it in your projects (in accordance with the license terms, of course).  And if you're feeling generous, why not grab a random model or texture off of your hard drive and upload it for the community?  You'd be surprised what kinds of objects would come in handy for a game.

Peace,

Bart

P.S.  I'm a different Bart than the guy on BlenderNation.  :)

Just wanted to let everyone know that we've posted a couple of new art commissions.

First, we've commissioned 10 fantasy character portraits (by Zeldyn), to be posted as they are completed.  The first one is of a female fighter.

Greetings folks!

We've recently received four new audio tracks, this time for use in sci-fi and action games.  Excellent work by remaxim, as always.  These songs are:

Greets!

OGA has commissioned a bunch of new, freely-licensed content in the last couple of weeks that I'd like to draw your attention to.  In the art section, we have a set of 10 pixel art RPG monsters (each in three different color palettes):

In audio, we have five new songs suitable for a fantasy setting:
