My summer time thing is sitting inside being scared of people,,

@Spring: sounds like some interior tilesets!

no one cares about my tilesets or want to use them :p

C'm on, Spring, stop being so negative. 

Everybody loves your art, here ! Wether it is music, 2D art, games.

You are always too hard with yourself.

Thanks,, I will always feel the same way no matter what you say though. But yes, it really hasn't got anything to do with this community, I just give them the blame that they don't deserve but it's only myself there is something wrong with.

I'll give it a shot.

Haw's that ? Do i just put the file here or do i put it in my section with a hashtag ?

Actually at the risk of spam, i was extremely allergic to pollen as a kid so i never learned to play in the hay and like it, which brings my summertime down to mostly(pic -> lol)

made with KumaKuma i posted it on steem https://steemit.com/@rudyardcatling (be wary of R to Z-rated language on that one ...)

maybe someone can relate :p

(earned a point in 'talkative' ??!? = lol )

okee then, i'll give it a try, thanks, and that's fine, i probably wouldn't be who i am without it and i might not like many things about the world, but i'm not really mal-content with me heh ... some people would say narcist but that's over the top , i dont love myself , i just don't dislike or demean myself ... it's a thin line hahah - often mistaken.

I should probably scale those down, they seem to be at max resolution, i assume something HD-ish would be plenty ?

I will try making some art for this challenge.

But there is a high risk it looks like "programmer's art" :-(

as long as you have a good idea for it...

@xom adept ... have you seen the stuff warhol got famous with , or 'lol' the guys they call "flemish primitives" (and those tings are still recognizable ... that's a long way from Patrick Rubinstein or Miwa Yanagi or Dali, but for some reason people call it art, it's about expression, man (or wo-man , lol ) Don't shy away

@alleycat : Thanks for your encouragements.

I actually posted some art for the challenge, the day after my previous post here.

It is an ice cream. :-)

Here is my summertime fun thing to do.  Well not the swiming but I'm all about the eating :)

My summer thing is food, so here is a lot of food: https://opengameart.org/content/lpc-food

aww, I was starting to hope I would win but then you bring out that,, nice work though, looks so yummy

we got a right OGA BBQ pool party going on with the art challenge. Bluetalifly has the location and BBQ, Blue Carrot has supplied the food, Xom Adept has bought the alcohol and me and Wolfgang are suppling the music, and poor Spring is staying in the 'Dog house' with the otters. C'mon Spring come join us!, the otters are up for a swim! were really nice, you don't have to be scared! were all friends here.:) ere, Have a drink and a burger. :)

really cool work guys and gals!

x'D

no need to feel pity on me!

that being said, I agree with you, many good entries!

There is still "Status : Accepting art submissions" on OGA home page, though.

@xom:

(thanks for reminder. Fixed)

Do I just do a search for the tag "My Summer Time Thing" or "Challenge" to find all the (correctly tagged) submissions? What about old challenges? Won't they be tagged as "Challenge" as well?

you can do a search for multiple tags at once ^^

Okay, I've got the search thing figured out. And if previous challenges used the same tags, I can sort the results by date.

Please do another challenge soon after this one gets over... pleeeeeeaaaaase. <3

You would just search for both the tag "challenge" AND "my summer time thing". This shows only the entries for this challenge.

Also, how do you all feel about a "water" challenge next? Several people have mentioned animated water recently, but this would apply to ambient music and sound effects, too.

A water challenge would be nice, I think I might draw Poseidon for that :D

Agree, water challenge sounds fun. :)

Congratulations, bluecarrot16 on your delicious summertime feast! 

Thanks also to all who participated. Trophies awarded! :)

Well done Bluecarrot! great stuff! :)

Congratulations to all participants !

Hello, everybody. Long time I have not posted here on OGA. How is everyone? 

I was wondering : when is the next art challenge?

I suggest we make a challenge to produce assets for the games we talked about here : https://opengameart.org/forumtopic/ideas-for-games.

We could even make several challenges with these ideas.

What do you think of this?

I could see myself making that Annelids game sometime. ^^

I've lost a lot of time. Who won

Bluecarrot16 won :) with thier awesome Food assets,

if you scroll up a bit MedicineStorm has linked thier submission. :)

Since we are here on the art challenge, are we ready for another? and to start getting this art challenge going on a more consistant manner, someone needs to get this badboy by the horns. :)

anyone? @Medicinestorm @withthelove @danorder @Xomadept any of you want to do this on a more pemanent basis? I dig the 'sharing it' mentalty, the trouble is doing it this way is it leads to weeks, some times months before another challenge is started, how about a 'Rota'?.

I know sometimes maybe there isn't the participation as we would like, which maybe leads to people thinking 'well, i leave it', but if we keep a more consistant flow, overtime it will show 'activity' and more people will join in eventually. :)

New Year, New Start, lets start as we mean to go on

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

@withthelove: I do like that format, but I am not opposed to alternatives either.

Please don't forget to PM me so I can post jam and challenge announcements on the front page. I think that also contributes to participation and getting the word out. You should have access to do some of that stuff now, but I have no problem making it fancy for everyone. :)

@withthelove Sorry to hear youve been unwell mate, not the best start to the new year for ya, hope you get better soon!

I like the format, 3 weeks, 1 week vote, im down with that, that covers 4 months of the 12, and them leading into the 'seasonal' game jams.(which i think need cementing as well, Xomadept posted here https://opengameart.org/forumtopic/winter-2020-game-jam

i think 1 art challenge a month would be a good idea to try and do, maybe we could have others volunteer for those if anyone interested, i don't mind doing one or some if needed.

I think knowing about the art challenges before they start would be a good idea, at least until they are more known to the community that they will be more concurrent and expected. :)

I think its really important that we all know whos doing what and when, so theres no one second guessing any events that the community put together or clashes. If this could be done, then maybe we could announce something on the frontpage, idk, a timeline, schedule just something that new users or returning users can actually see whats happening on OGA throughout the year, and not get lost through disapearing forum threads.

@MedicineStorm I agree, definatly helps raise awarness, its good that you can do that, and thank you. :)

Perhaps a front page post would help, and i'm sure Medicinestorm would do that, and that would be more perminant as it doesn't get used for anything else, no extra development needed. :) Just a image or Just up and comming event text.

Im here everyday, so i could always bump any forum thread post to keep it at the top . ;)

I understand what you mean by being nervous, so it wouldn't be fair to ask you to do all the challenges, unless you wanted to, I'm more than happy to do a couple if others don't, to take the stress off, and if you did fall sick or something else came up, you only have to say "Chaser, Ive got the two bob bits, could you do the art challenge for me this month" , il be more than happy to step in for you to help out.

If you stuck for ideas, im sure the community could chuck some ideas out for you to work with aswell. It doesn't have to be to complicated, any challenge would be good either way. :)

Sounds good, and a good plan! Abracadabra! :)
