Spring is in the air and it's time to create something new, something fun, something exciting, something for the OpenGameArt.org Spring 2019 Game Jam!
This year's theme is 'I enjoy my life' and enjoy your life you will if you participate in this thrilling game jam!
Complete details at: https://itch.io/jam/the-oga-spring-game-jam
For questions or discussion of the Jam, visit https://opengameart.org/forumtopic/the-oga-spring-game-jam-2019-announce...
This Spring's Art Challenge theme is:
A New Look
It's a special time at OpenGameArt.org, work is well underway on the exciting OGA 3.0 project (you can read all about it here https://opengameart.org/content/oga3-front-page-layout-feedback) and the new code base calls for a complete re-write of the OGA home page layout. Should we keep the classic look with just a few nips and tucks here and there, or should we go for a complete makeover? Now's your chance to chime in and show us how you would re-design the OpenGameArt home page!
For questions and further details, visit the art challenge discussion thread: https://opengameart.org/forumtopic/spring-2019-art-challenge-a-new-look-...
- Begin submitting your entries on Friday, March 1st, 2019. (It has already begun!)

The initial rough layout for the front page for the new OGA3 layout is viewable at http://199.180.155.219
Any feedback is appreciated.
Source code for the theme is located at https://github.com/OpenGameArt/OpenGameArt-OGA3-Theme any patches are welcome!
Here is what I'm thinking on some of the comments bring up. Ideas/suggestions?
1) people can post animated previews currently, should we keep the rendering them out to a static png or let people actually see the previews that are posted? Is there a way anyone knows of to deal with this? Maby allow animation on hover? Anyone know how can that be accomplished?
2) There will be a forum menu item I just haven't added that yet, the menus' will stay basically the same
3) I think I will move the news button to the top middle as a pull-down
4) @chasersgaming the idea is to bring more prominence to the art, not all the other items, currently things like "who's online" does that really matter to anyone?
5) I am thinking to make the previews a bit smaller with a border around them, still larger than the current ones but smaller than now. Was also thinking to add a "left and right" preview button for if someone has more then one preview image. Thoughts?
6) I like the idea of an opt-out on the scroll, I removed the scroll for now but I think alike X or something to close it? Thoughts?
7) The duplicated popular this week and stuff at the end of the page is just for testing
8) Should I auto zoom in on images that have bad proportions, ie 10px x 500px or stick to showing the (almost useless?) super zoomed out image?
Note: The current theme is not migratable, the entire thing has to be redone as its impossible to just keep what there currently is. As such its an ideal time to redo it with support for mobile and other optimizations.
