This ties a bit into the thread about going standalone:

 

I just stumbled again over this page: http://opengameart.org/

 

The do have quite a bit of content that might be usable for us. However, our art assets are under a compatible license. So wouldn't it make equal sense to "donate" all our textures etc to them?

What do you see that would be helpful for us in going standalone?

 

I haven't browsed the entire DB (net is slow today), and perhaps not so much ingoing standalone per se, but they do have some assets that fit our general theme:

 

http://opengameart.org/content/rigged-horse

http://opengameart.org/content/worn-medieval-shield

http://opengameart.org/content/retextured-gnarly-tools

http://opengameart.org/content/mortis-and-tenon-table

 

Plus, the other direction (we donate to them) might also bring us goodwill, connections and talented people who want to help us to replace assets. There are a lot of very talente people out there with a lot of time on their hands..

 

For instance, this game here donated all their assets: http://www.unknown-horizons.org/ and they DO look professional to me.

 

Basically, a way to network.

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.
