As an "artist" I find this confusing. Was able to connect by manually entering the IP and port number. From the screen shots on your project page I saw some game-play graphics but after connecting to the server I can not start playing. All I have is the chat window.
@Redshrike: Sounds like a good idea. To expand the resources we need a direction. There should be sort of a database of what is already there, what needs improvement, what is absent etc. As a monthly challenge people can work on "filling the gaps" in that list.
But what was my idea initially is the chance for an artist to see that his/her work is actually used in a real game. That is a good motivation I think. So many (me included) often post the artwork asking to let them know if the art is used.
I wanted to check out this game but after downloading it I can not start it running. First I launched "server" and then the "client" but the client does not see the server.
Definitely, that sounds very good. Of course, there should be an active interaction between the developer who requests an Art Aid and the participants. When creating art assets for the game one surely must think of proper integration. It is advisable to use already existing art from OGA but we should not discourage from contributing new one.
:) Thanks a lot for the feedback, Socapex.
Thanks, Socapex. I really appreciate your comment(s). I guess you are right to a certain degree.
Like it!
As Imoen likes to say: "Tis' something most unnatural here, and I want no part of it. " :)
OGA has a bunch of nice GUI art work. But I guess you have checked it out already?

Looks very cool. I like the style.
