Hey everyone! I wanted to share something with you all. I’ve created and curated over 130 mixes so far, all of which are free to use—even for commercial projects. I’ve never started doing this for money; it’s simply a passion project for me, and I genuinely enjoy working on it.
That said, I’ve realized that in order to take these mixes to the next level, I need to invest in some new gear, like DJ controllers, which can be pretty expensive. While I’m not charging for anything, and I don’t need monetary compensation, if you’re in a position to help and want to support the project, donations are welcome!
The contributions will go toward improving the tools I use to create and perform the mixes, allowing me to continue providing high-quality tracks for everyone.
If you’d like to help, here’s my Zcash address and QR code:
However, please know that money is not the only way to support me! If you’re not in a position to help financially, I still encourage you to use the tracks. I really hope you find them useful, and I’d be thrilled to know they’re making a positive impact in your projects.
Thank you so much for your support! It really means a lot and would help make these projects even better.
The second project is mine. At this point, we have Tux games written in both Python and Lua. If I’d had to draw all the assets myself, the project probably would never have existed—so I’m genuinely glad those assets were available to reuse.
Tux’s New Adventures is both a mod and a fork of Spinny the Runner, which is also my project. Spinny the Runner itself is a fork of Boxclip by Jigoku. So yes, it’s a derivative of a derivative. I guess I really do enjoy building on top of existing work.
I must say there's a lot of work put on top of the original work and nothing is for sale but donations are welcome, that would allow me to add better hardware for my projects, that also includes music.
Old previews have been replaced with playlist. This way you can easily listen and navigate full tracks instead of short framents of the track (and also download them).
* Update: It seems that I hit the maximum storage of the funkwhale server linked above, amazing. In order to have place for more mixes I had to remove some originals, eventually I may remove the originals channel entirily so that I can use the avaiable storage for the mixes. You can still find the originals through the links on the attirubition of each mix.
I understand yo but I'm afraid that happens in many other sites too (not being able to download a full collection of assets or a backup). I do share my assets on more sites including my own repositories, and I encourage you to do so, not because of this but simply because the more places you share free assets the better and the more people can access them (and less chances the assets are lost due to some site closing). That's the great thing about assets with free licenses, there's no limits to where you can share them.
Oh and if you need help to download from huggingface do not hesitate to ask, I'm willing to help.
Actually, I don’t think replacing the user database with dummy accounts is enough. Even if the data is public, there might still be sensitive information in the conversations. Personally, I believe that when you post something on a forum, you’re sharing it specifically with that community — not giving permission for anyone to make and keep a backup elsewhere (though I’m not familiar with the legal aspects of this).
I also understand that separating sensitive data from public data requires a lot of effort, and I appreciate that our privacy is being taken seriously.
If the real value lies in the assets that have already been backed up — and those can be downloaded from another server without causing additional traffic to OGA (at least as of recently) — I don’t see why the work needs to be redone.
Actually, the database of OGA assets I mentioned above was created specifically for that purpose: AI training. So, unfortunately, it’s already out there—anyone with the technical skills can use it to build a model. The license allows it, so it’s really just a matter of time before someone does (if they haven’t already).
That’s the core issue: if you don’t want your assets used for AI training, copyright alone won’t stop it. As I’ve said before, nearly all major models are trained on copyrighted material—whether companies admit it or not. Some are even open about it.
In my opinion, the only reliable way to prevent your art from being used in AI training is not to publish it at all. Keep it on your hard drive, show it only in person with trusted friends, and make sure it’s never photographed or recorded.
As for that database— It already includes a huge collection of assets. Sure, it’s not fully up to date (it was uploaded five months ago), but you can easily bridge the gap by downloading whatever has been added since then.
In case it's helpful to anyone, I found the asset collection on Hugging Face to be quite comprehensive (it was submitted about five months ago). I also created a small script that lets you search through the JSON files included in the collection. You can filter assets by author, genre, and type, or use your own keywords to search.
There might be other things people are looking for that aren't in the collection, but personally, it covers pretty much everything I need.
By using that source to download the assets, you reduce traffic for Oga since the process is handled independently.
What are you trying to achieve? I don't think you can make a copy of oga without the database that is probably linked to it, I think it is based on drupal and most CMS I tested use a database. If you want a search field with filters to search the assets and you download the assets from the link I provided above I can tell you how.
