To even have a chance of getting somebodys attention it would help if you had a URL to the project, a demo, screenshots, info about code and licenses et.c. Your call of course, but "it wouldn't hurt"... ;)
As if a result of divine intervention the site is down due to a security breach somewhere. It's temp, probably can't affect anyone and will be fixed shortly. More info will be available on our http://twitter.com/#!/wtactics
"The purpose of collections is to allow us to organise art into coherent sets"
With coherent,do you mean in style? I assume that's it, but want to clear that, since there is some slight chance that somebody will start using them as tags instead, e.g. start collecting dragons from all kinds of styles in a collection called "There e Dragons"....
(Btw, Blue Moon is a nice game. There is an open source and fully legal AI implementation with all cards of it that I ran on Linux, maybe works in Windows as well if you're interested in playing against the computer...)
Our goal has, from the start, been to create a game that is primarily playable in real life, using real paper cards. We have also set our minds to release it any and all digital forms and support online play in various ways.
There has been many decisions concerning both rule development as well as tool usage for developing that are all connected to our ambitions to get the game on paper, and we also have the luxury of having an expert aboard the team with a long experience from the print industry and typesetting.
When it comes to printing our intentions are to offer the cards to the world in various formats optimised for pro printing (with bleeds etc) as well as home printing and photo lab development. Currently we don't do this simply because we're not quite there yet, but it will be eventually.
You, your wife & brother-in-law are of course all welcome to join our team if you're interested in helping out somehow.
@Lun: I'm sorry to say we don't use sprites in our project nor can we put down resources to have art created for other projects. Feel free to use anything that we post though as long as it's in accordanc with the license(s).
You are welcome, and thanks for the encouraging comments - will relay them. :) Sharing the PSD:s is the only decent thing to do if a project is GPL:d ;) and if the PSD uses layering in a decent manner it could help out when people try to customize the work for their needs (granted this is always much harder with raster art compared with vector/3d, so why make it even harder by not sharing the original files?)
Ah, pennomi, we miss your magic fingers & still the new index ;)
As for the idea, measuring activity would be better done if it actually did that - was some kind of sum total of browsing different pages & logins within timeframe x.
(Then again, I also think its kind of misleading since an artist that posts one piece of art every month only has to login here 12 times the most and almost browse nothing: Should he be considered as "inactive" in the community? I'm not sure... in a sense he/she is, in another not since creating art is maybe one of the main activities of the site, one which the site wouldn't be here without. However, we already have the different medals for that stuff so this is just a queston about definition. I would just be carefull and really make a difference between being active on the site pages and being active in the community, which isn't necessarily the same thing.)
There's also a more classy approach: Just show the dates for the users last 5 logins in his/her profile.

Superb work Bart, as usual.

Thanks - will relay that to our artist.
Thanks for your input Myckel.
