Hello!

I Search members, who can make for me change my  titlesets, who are intresting :P write here :)

Hi there,

I sincerely don't want to spam OGA forums ;)

But since I was thinking about it, I wanted to know:

I've been trying to contact Len and killyOverdrive in a more private way, using the contact form of their profile page. But I still didn't have any answers from them.

Since I know at least killyoverdrive has been active since then, I wanted to know whether it was killy which didn't want or hasn't got the time to. (which is fine, I'm forcing no one to answer ;]) or whether the contact form had a problem.

Hi everyone,

Some times ago, I found and used the following piece of art (2d 32x32 tileset):

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/560/watertileset.png

(I'm speaking about the left part of the image, the water reflections are known to be from LPC.)

I know that the piece was open licensed, and that it was from OGA, but I just can't find who made it.

Has someone any clue?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Hey folks :)

I'm currently seeking volunteers to help with features and bugfixes to the OGA codebase.  You'll need a working knowledge of PHP (or at the very least, a solid understanding of coding in general and a willingness to figure it out on your own), and an understanding of Drupal is a big plus (although I understand that's a rare skill set).

Reply here if you're interested.

FAQ

Q. Why isn't the OGA codebase currently open source?

Is all the assets from LCP going to be eventually uploaded on site?

It would be nice to have them on site so we can sort them in collections, remix them and so on.

Hey, it would be good to etablish some submission guidelines in order to keep the usefulness of the single entries high. Let me know about any suggestions.

Basic 2D:

Format for 2D submissions should be PNG with alpha channel, JPG is good too for high resolution graphics without transparency.

PNG is a very common free format which provides very good lossless compression. Big pictures can get quite a file size for it, so for backgrounds the more effective but not lossless format JPG might be better suited.

Hi all,

I'm looking for FOSS games which use allegro 5. I did come to know of a game or two which was done in the recent LPC contest which used the new allegro 5 library but forgot the name.

If anybody knows of any FOSS games which use the allegro 5 engine please put it in the thread.

Hello,  I've been kind of lurking on this site for a little while.  Mainly looking at the artwork for inspiration and some of the forum topics.

I've made a sort of 2D space shooter type game with some MMO/RPG elements.  The video of it is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVlE6e8ohyQ.  It's done using XNA and C#

Just looking for feedback mostly! I have kind of big plans for the game unless people tell me it sucks.  If anyone would be interested in writing story or creating artwork for the game, just let me know.

Like many I want to make an open source game, and like many I am a bit overwhelmed by the licenses.
