I was just thinking today that a design of that type would be perfect as a skin texture. If the texture were elevated via 3D modeling, it would probably reflect light realistically enough to be indistinguishable from real skin.
I posted an appeal for artists to concentrate on making prototype models rather than finished work, because I felt that would make complex projects easier. You deleted the post because I explained the scientific rationale for my reasoning, which you weren't familiar with and frankly dismissve of. I took it up with you on the chat and I got insulted and banned. This was about a year ago.
If free speculation has no place at OGA, then I don't think there will much innovation coming out of a community dominated by OGA as such. Honestly I'm kinda threatened by the sheer centralization of OGA in general. Whenever there is centralization then power can change hands quickly, and without checks and balances a community that has grown dependent on a resource can be held down by the power holder if they choose. I'm seen this on many sites and it is a phenomenon particular to popular internet communities. Anywhere there is abundance and prosperity, negative people will angle to seize it. It's human nature.
I knew this day was coming. If we're going to get into discussion about the future of OGA and what needs to change, let's get write to the heart of the matter.
It's your attitude.
Bart you are capricious and discriminating. Up till now you have believed that it is good to be such even as you offered a monopoly-priced product and quite frankly bullied people who disagreed with you. This has been the cloud that has hung over your website since the beginning. People don't like you because you mistreat them. They fear, rightly, that if you disagree with them you will simply ban them. If this website becomes dominant in indie gaming, then it becomes the next PoF: a modern-day fiefdom that leverages its dominance to obtain a sense of power for its master, to not only swat dissidents, but keep them disorganized and disadvantaged. Your critics have reason to fear this outcome... in your new world, there could be ostracism for those who can't keep quiet.
This is what needs to change: your attitude towards your visitors and users. This is the price you must pay, unconditionally, for the privelege of living off OGA. The people want a maintainer, not a dictator.

This is awesome and will I think contribute to the study of human figure suggestion at small scales.
Of course, Mr. O'Reily.
Bart, your post speaks for itself. Good luck with your endeavors.

That looks really interesting. I think I'll ask my friend to play it with me.
