As others sort of mentioned, I would say the best way is to find an artist who has the style you like and look at their other work. I understand what you mean though. When I was creating a bunch of pixel art assets for one giant submission, I kept pushing myself to add as many useful things as I could. I wanted my submission to have enough art to get a person started on a game without having to look for more art assets. Some other people post art packs like that as well.

Here's an entry I quickly made. It supposed to be similar to the sound effect in Life is Strange when the character is reversing time. https://opengameart.org/content/reversing-time-stuck-in-time

Windows 10 and 8.1 with Chrome 65. Just tried it with IE 11 and it played although the play button didn't change icons. You can see the error in Chrome if you open up the debugger something about broken promises with playing and pausing. My guess is other browser might behave differently as well. Possibly a Chrome thing. Possibly a website thing.

Yeah I noticed that too! I was on someone's profile and they wouldn't play. I didn't think anything of it until now you mention it. I thought their profile was bugged out. It's everyone's profile.

I like it! I'm not really you're target audience though. I don't play mobile games often. My guess is that there is a saturation of this type of game making it less likely to be finacially successful, but if the only intent was to make a game it does look good. Something I only noticed after watching it a second time is that the sonar ping sound seems to warn the player of an incoming mine/bomb. Is that correct? I lke that. The sound is fitting and functional.

I think you mean CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 not CC-BY-NO-SA 4.0 and as far as I know it is intentional. All licenses allow for commercial use on here which is why it was excluded. I don't think many people would be interested in assets that didn't allow for commercial use.

My only adivce is do not use paypal. Paypal donations are only meant for non-profit organizations. You are not one of those so you run the risk of losing your account and possibly the money you recieve. Taxes will depend on where you live and what you use. Kickstarter and Patreon are pretty much always considered taxable income because the person donating will get something in return for their donation. Gofundme is the only one that I know of that some people mention could be tax free and considered a gift depending on the situation. It's really only a gift though because the people donating expect nothing in return. Another way to look at it are the tips that waiters and waitresses recieve. Those are taxable income. It's going to be hard to prove that the donations you are getting are only a gift and not because people feel donating will yield more free art from you.

And not to be a downer, but I wouldn't expect hardly any money from donations. If you need money you are better off doing work for a job rather than hoping for donations that are still most likely going to be considered income and taxed that same as the job.

So yeah all those kickstarters and indiegogo projects that get a lot of money are heavily taxed due to such a high amount of income in one tax year.

Edit: To clairfy, don't use the paypal donations button/option to get donations directly. Using a paypal account for another site that manages donations would ok.

Reminds me of techno songs from the 90's. Nicely done!

Yes, they should be safe to use. The poster is refering to a game called Glitch. According to their website the game was not commercially viable so they opted to release the game and assets from the game so that others could use it. You do have to keep en eye open though for copyright violation since this website accepts all submissions from users and then filters them. I always make sure to report anything that I know has copyright violation. Here is the Glitch game the poser is reffering to. https://www.glitchthegame.com/public-domain-game-art/

I'm not sure about the double buffering but requestAnimationFrame is closest thing to vsync. You could read up on it more to get all the technical details. Basically it's requesting that the frame be drawn when the screen is refreshing.
