Any examples/URLs of non PD stuff taken from OGA?

Probably not. Although we encourage all forms of expression via games, we try to remain kid-friendly. There is rarely an issue with using game assets found on OGA within a NSFW game, but hosting and discussing the NSFW components themselves is discouraged. There are some anatomical (nude) sprites and models on the site, but the nudity is not for the purpose of titillation or lewdness. Sorry. :/

Well, since your word processor is the one changing the characters you type, I have to advise simply typing on the forum instead of copying from the word processor.

Yeah, word processors are definitely a major culprit. My guess is the problem is being caused by the ellipsis in your last paragraph. 

2/ Some strange question: How much we have to pay for the artist to make[...] <- this character cannot be typed by your keyboard gameplay menu. Look like this ( menu bar, text and icon. Not include Character['] <- same with this curved quote avatar and Character[']s <- and this one cards).

  1. check for pasted characters that DO NOT come from your keyboard (EM dashes, curved quotation marks, etc.)
  2. check for formatting that may not be compatible with the site's text box. (it's a fairly simple text box, not a publishing app. sorry)
  3. If that doesn't resolve it, copy what you're trying to post and paste it on https://justpaste.it/ and PM me a link to it. We'll get it fixed. :)

^Agreed. I think at first glance many assume games are created primarily by Coders, Artists, and Audio engineers. (In reality there are obviously many subsets to these, but I am intentionally oversimplifying) but Designer is ommited.

I feel this is due to Game Design being more susceptible to the Dunning-Kruger effect. If you're a bad coder, the game just won't run well. If you're a bad Artist, it's pretty obvious the graphics clash. But if you're a bad game designer, it always seems like a great idea to the person who had it. It isn't until other objective players test out the game that you'll hear (constructive?) criticism on the design... which necessarily only happens later in the project.

Designer is the job everyone wants. Or it is the job many feel anyone can do? Not sure. Even I'm guilty of this; My team doesn't actually have an official designer position. All members are encouraged to suggest designs. Each department has a Lead (lead programmer, lead graphics, lead music, etc.) that acts as a design filter and weeds out the bad ideas... plus a Producer that runs the whole project from a big-picture perspective and ensures it's all cohesive.

We did have a Designer position, but so many people applied, and they were all pretty terrible IMHO. Again, maybe "My Honest Opinion" is skewed by the same factor; I think they're terrible designers, but it's acutally me that sucks at it. :P

It would only be one person able to edit it, but I'm sure the two of you could coordinate to agree on what it should say. The one person who "owns" the post would then make the changes for both of you.

should I make a front-page calendar of events? I can assign it to you so you can edit it as needed.

@withthelove: I do like that format, but I am not opposed to alternatives either.

Please don't forget to PM me so I can post jam and challenge announcements on the front page. I think that also contributes to participation and getting the word out. You should have access to do some of that stuff now, but I have no problem making it fancy for everyone. :)
