I can't see how 3d art would make things easier, in the end it'd probably only benefit the title screen.
This is an Allegro project - you can't mix hi-res stuff and low-end targets when you use Allegro. Ahead of time, i'll suggest against any advance idea of OGG for music because of poor looping capability. When you stick with modules, not only is the player faster than ogg decoding, it can of course loop. Despite this I don't get why TuxRacer forks insist on ogging the music which makes it swishy and broken without proper looping it once had.
I completely understand the 320x240 look and what it's going for. It wouldn't be the same if you raised it to even 400x300.
and lol no if Surge was in 3d it'd never go into OA :D one furry is enough.
Yeah, there's definitely a stingy factor to it. To make matters worse, since your game is about furries, furry artists tend to infamously be even more stingy about the protection of their art or even their character ideas even if it's a non-descript anthro raccoon that happens to be fast. The subject matter of the game as such, makes the chances worse for Free art. Nothing you can do about it for that, though. You'd get more submissions of recolored fan characters with "original character do not steal" rather than genuine new artwork from someone who knows even what the brief summary of the GPL license is all about
I'd say the era of generous art hobbyist died around 2005, when Garry's Mod and Source this source that became a magnet of them. I know it explains all those free shooters from that year not looking better or having much new art at all by now.
