Forums:  General Discussion Back in the day of 8-bit graphics and color palettes, it used to be fairly common to see tilesets where the water or lava cycled through a simple animation.  It actually did this by changing the colors in the color palette. I want to write a blog post about this technique (and how you could adapt it to modern systems that don't use a color palette), but I'm struggling to find any such animated (or animatable) tile sets.  Or even any clear examples of the technique in games of yore. Any suggestions? Thanks, - Joe   ..read more

Forums:  General Discussion Repo: https://github.com/open-duelyst/duelyst/tree/main/app/resources This isn't breaking news (it happened 2 years ago), but I feel it's worth sharing this absolute treasure trove for those who aren't aware. I only found out through a Godot asset pack (note: it's only the characters and effects). Attached are a few random samples. Probably worth organizing and uploading to OGA proper, though I don't know if I'll be the one to do it ..read more

Forums:  General Discussion Hi everyone! I'm June Ravenmoon, an artist for the open-source racing simulation Speed Dreams. We've been in the process of reworking many assets to be in proper compliance with Free Art License (FAL) and/or CC-BY 4.0 licensing terms, and I have a fairly large batch (a few dozen and growing) of FAL-compliant ficional brand logotypes that other game developers may find useful for populating their worlds (like sponsor logos on vehicle skins/liveries, billboards in urban or racetrack environments, etc ..read more

Forums:  General Discussion Hi. First, as the co-developer of an upcoming browser game, I want to thank all artists who have submitted art to OGA, particularly those whose works we'll be using in our game. (We'll give everyone credit, even the authors of CC0 licensed works.) Second, a question about the copyright/attribution notice when submitting art to OGA, since we have commissioned some artists to create art for us, which we'd like to share here. Is the format "By [credit], commissioned by Versatiley." acceptable? Where [credit] will be either a name/nick or "anonymous ..read more

Forums:  Feedback Given the ammount and quality of music tracks this site is hosting I think the music player is quite basic.
