Sometimes I wonder why there's less FaiF art, then FaiB but restricted or commercial art (and of course artists who make them). Deviantart claims to have 12 million members (according to the tour page) while OpenGameArt has 300 users (according to the view submissions by user page), there are 88354 photos submitted to the Flickr textures group while BurningWell has 2168 photos filed under textures.
I need your help for finding out the greatest programming-language at this moment.
I searched 5 points you should put in a order of importance...
-Education (books/tuts...)
-Installation/Versions (available Compiler/Interpreter)
-Tangibility/Syntax(difficulty)
-Practice(Using it...)
-GUI-Programming(difficulty)
You can answer with the numbers 1-5 (the most importance-the less importance)...
e.g.:Education==3;Installation==1...
I've got some free time and I just feel like helping people make games, because I want to play some good3D FOSS games. I love RPG's but at this point I'm desperate. I'm going to model a whole building. Not a skyscraper, or some sort of time traveling army dispensing building with rigged bad guys from goo monster to final boss like buildings. I'm thinking, whole blacksmith maybe? Whole spaceship? "Whole" crack house? Throw out some ideas. Then I'm going to go through it and model things inside it needs to look full, modeling for a full 40 hours, then I'll t
Identica is a free software equivalent of Twitter. It has lots of cool features like groups, better discussion tracking, built in transports and attachments. You could easily just create an Identica account for OpenGameArt, and link it to your twitter account, and all your tweets (or 'dents as identica users would call them) would pop up on Identica too, which is populated with a much higher concentration of devs and "open" lovers. There are also groups such as !fossgaming who would love to get updates on OGA. So, what do you guys think?
Hopefully this is the right place to post this but I have been a bit fan of this site for a while and you have some great artists here. We are having a game design contest over at Platinum Arts Sandbox Free 3D Game Maker http://SandboxGameMaker.com and I was thinking this would be a great chance to see what your artists can do and also give them some great exposure since Sandbox has been used in many classrooms and by many people across the world. If you want to learn more about the contest please check out the main info page:
My name is Alexandre and I'm a Computer Science student.
Great job! I've been looking for a place like this for ages! In the past few years, I knew only a few websites with free graphics, most of them containing lots of broken links and small databases. The best of the few free graphics package for games I knew was the Spritelib GPL (Ari Feldman).
Open Game Art changes everything. It's a well made website, with a decent database and a lot of potential. It's nice, very nice!
I, along with a few others are about to create a game (first-person / RPG / co-op). We will be using Blender and Unity.
We are looking for a few more people to help out. If you are interested, please go onwards to this sight http://vultureproject.50.forumer.com/ and join up! Hope to see you there!
I seem to have found a bug in this site. I favorited a lot of game art and now want to see "my favorites". The problem is when i go to MyAccount->favorites, I get to the page "Most favorites", that one that shows what arts are most favorited - by everybody, not just me. This is really not *my* favorites! It is the same page as when I click onto Browse->Most Favorites: opengameart.org/favorites
Please, please, solve this bug! It makes the favorites have no sense.
I've tried using an OpenID login - using my LJ identity - but I'm getting "# The username contains an illegal character. # You must enter an e-mail address." and bumped to the registration page. Is this how it's supposed to work, or am I missing something? From what I understand of OpenID, LJ usernames are <user>.livejournal.com and I'm following this.
