Weekly Challenge: Science! (due Jan. 29th)
The theme for the next challenge deserves shouting out in a Thomas Dolby voice:
"Science!"
Make a piece of game artwork that goes along with the theme of science, a particular branch within the sciences, mad scientists... or however you interpret the theme. Make your glass tubes fill up with colored liquid, match goofy elements in a paticular way, combine chemicals, put a key on a kite in a storm, or think up some game idea that fits and make some artwork to help it along.
Please post submissions to the regular art page but tag them Challenge and Science. (Other tags based upon your submission are encouraged, of course.) Once you have a page you can post a link to it in this thread. General discussion of the theme goes here too, but talking about the challenge in general fits in a different thread.
The official week of submissions run from Monday the 23rd through Sunday the 29th, but put your thinking caps on right away and exercise that grey matter.
... Oh boy. Now I have to join in. Darn you, Dannorder! :D
Looking forward to it!
Nice theme, looking forward to see the submissions!
I submitted early again to promote the challenge: http://opengameart.org/content/lab-rat-labyrinth
Another small pixel thing, and pretty basic. I'll have to try something more advanced sometime.
Anyway to make the current challenge thread appear on the home page?
If someone was new to the site or didn't know to come looking for it, they'd never know there was a challenge going on.

I didn't see this until now, but was interested in making something for an event, but at least there is still time!! :)
My submission: http://opengameart.org/content/scientist-0
Had no idea what to do when i saw the theme was Science but im happy with what i managed to do :P
Cant wait to see others submissions :)
Eugh. I may not be able to make it. My drugs have not been kind to me this week, and I'm only starting to feel half alive again. :( We'll see. Good luck to the rest of you, though!
Alright, here's my effort:

We still have a few hours yet, but congratulations to all who submitted something. And of course join in when you can if you hoped to but couldn't due to other events or not knowing about it.
I'm of the opinion that any new submissions are a good thing even if the format means you didn't put as much time as you would otherwise. You can always go back and edit your submission or make a new one once the competition is over. I feel like it creates new things we wouldn't have had otherwise and doesn't really overwhelm the site either. But, as always, I'm open for comments, either here if it's about the theme or in a main thread.
Great challenge! Sadly I was too buy to participate. Can the next theme be Apex Predator?

Great submissions!
meaning tag them Challenge and Science ("Challenge, Science") not "Challenge and Science"
--Medicine Stormand also, not "Weekly Challenge" either, as that wouldn't be picked up with the tag "challenge"
The voting for this challenge ends tonight. Get your votes in!
Does the next art challenge start tomorrow? I can update the announcement, but I didn't see a definitive theme. I assume a new thread will be posted in the Weekly Challenge forum tomorrow? As soon as it is, I'll link to it on the front page.
--Medicine StormJust to be sure, we vote by 'favoriting' work(s) right?
https://withthelove.itch.io/
Yes.
--Medicine Storm@MedicineStorm I was trying to fudge a little and still call this a weekly challenge. It's been announced already (see new thread) but gives a week prep. I think I switched from last time thinking I'd wait until after judging the last one to announce the new one, then doing a half week instead once I knew judging was a week, then got confused this time when I should say it. Oops. Well, if any challenge needed a week prep then this one is it. Plus submissions will be rolling in around Valentine's Day, which fits the theme. We'll play it by ear on when the announce thge next one.
Oh. Am I still tallying the votes for the science challenge tonight?
--Medicine StormYeah. Everything like normal. Just needed to post the new one before it closed to have it up. In the future if I want to do the original idea I should post the new one challenge theme right after the last one closes submissions and have a week overlap between voting and prep time for the next.
Winner: Min!
