@Foz I would go as far as to say every month we do a 3 week jam 1 week break and if the art jam keeps going a library of 4 weeks work of art to give plenty of art choice.
As for keeping it open like i mentioned before i am all for it but does that really mater? I mean, your still encouraging people to participate and use free art. you could say the game needs to be free as a rule, just something to conciser more closely
Hmm i just realized why, i like to write my post in a spellings checker and copy the text to the forum post page, but if i do that then i get the post error. if i don't copy any text and just type directly on the form it works just fine as i did posting these post.
@Foz @Dannorder I think teaming up with an other site is extremely hard especially in the rewording stage hete you have badges that's is simple enough to reword.
@Dannorder I think your totally right when saying language should not matter one should be allowed code in the language he/she is most proficient in, but on the other had what would you define a game engine as unity, unreal, game maker, construct, etc as.
I personally think the game code/project should be open at the end going with the theme here at OGA, but if we do so a challenge we should predefined some rules to make everything clear seeing this type of challenge is a little bit more complicated than a art challenge.
i don't mind organizing the competition if the admins feel its ok for me to do so, but the form would need to agree on the rules.
Edit: @claudeb I have never heard of the site, but if you think its a good place for a competition like this it could be good to check it out.
Edit2: It seems like a really good place to host a gamejam, it has a lot of useful features. it might even work well for the art challenge :}
anyways its all up to the admins what they decide.
Hello I was thinking while we are at it why not add a second category and have a competition for coders as well and have them make a game with last challenges art... or just any art on open game art. For the ones who are incapable of doing art ;}
Just an idea
Edit:
I was also thinking a week can be a little short 2 weeks or a moth might be better
