@Xtheth -- Heh. Yeah... sorry about that. It could probably have been better worded. It's supposed to be super-open to interpretation so people have lots of flexibility to make basically whatever they want.
@Sparcsky -- Nope. :) Use everything you want from OGA-- and if you have rights to non-OGA art, you can throw that in, too. The challenge art is basically extra credit.
@Chasersgaming -- Heh. We're overwriting each other. :D
The 'themes' concept is really loose. Free associate things remotely related to the Art Challenge topics and you'll be good. :)
For instance, I'll just stick some of my baby sprites from the Reborn challenge, and add a 'Rebirth' plot element to my RPG's story, and that'll cover it. And for good measure, I'll stick in a cave level. Done-- two themes incorporated.
Danorder was the one who'd originally talked about getting this going, but he hasn't been involved in a while. Busy, probably... which is a pity. Chasersgaming is hosting this now, and I've been following / assisting some, so I can answer most questions.
All the important info is on this thread, the itch.io description, and maybe a bit on this one other forum thread, which is what we used to plan the thing. :) Anything in particular you were looking for?
He means at six assets-- at least two from three different categories. So, two from the OGA 2d category, two assets from music, two from textures, ect. That's a minimum, of course.
I mean to do 2d art, music, and sound effects-- which is probably the standard package for 2d games. :P The category list shows up if you hover over the 'Browse' menu.
I'm prepping to make an old-school Final Fantasy-ish mini-RPG. ^^ I know it's a super-difficult thing to try, but I need a sandbox break, and SNES JRPGs were my first love. :rubs hands:
I'm really looking forward to seeing what the rest of you come up with! We're already up to 36!
If you were logged in while you downloaded things, there will be a 'collection' on your account with everything you've downloaded. That might make things easier. Crediting usually includes a link to the user's account unless they have attribution instructions in their file.
Chasersgaming decided that planning before was all good, so downloading should certainly be fine. :) It'd better be, anyway-- I've been going through my Hyptosis sprite sheets and making organized Unity assets out of them, so it'll be easy to build things when the start gun goes off.
Hey guys-- what do you think about making another thread for showing off our game jam progress?
@Xtheth -- Heh. Yeah... sorry about that. It could probably have been better worded. It's supposed to be super-open to interpretation so people have lots of flexibility to make basically whatever they want.

Oh, the 'themes' are on the Itch.io jam page. :) They're basically the themes and resulting art from some past OGA contests.
(On the Itch page:)
>> Themes from previous Art Challenges are:
>> Underground / PD Quick / Surt's Scraps / Share the Love / Science / Reborn
>> And the assets created for them can be found here: Art Challenge Collection

And... start!
81 people in the jam. Holy cow... you guys are awesome. :D See you soon!
Yep. :) Minimum only!
