If this is about a different submission, these discussions should probably occur on that specific submission's page.
Also, keep in mind there is no need for preview images to be completely devoid of anything not in the download; It's fine to have previews that contain a few embelishments for demonstration purposes as long as it's fairly clear those features are not necessarily included in the package.
Anyway, thanks all for working to fix these issues and especially to ChiliGames for the generosity and quick responses. :)
I see evidence of forum RSS feeds in the site backend, but nothing for submissions. Since the art submission component of the site is custom to OGA, there is not really a prepackaged RSS/Atom plugin for it. I'm sure it's possible, but it would need to be coded custom as well. We'll have to keep that in mind if/when we get the site code open to collaborative development. :)
I would love that! Though, a custom app would need to be a community collaborative endeavor. DeviantArt has an official app mostly because of their nearly $22,000,000.00 USD ad revenue. Since OGA is completely free for users and free of advertising, the site has ~$6000 anually. which is almost entirely dedicated to servers and hosting.
What is this about "the API" people are referencing? Is there an established drupal API? If not, an API would need to be developed alongside the app or mobile version of the site. I'm for it. Working on getting the site code made available on github. :)
fine in one submission. Both the stylized "title screen" version and the playable character version are in the downloadable package, so you're all good.
The issue is not with the 2nd pic. it's with the 1st and 3rd.
"...Specifically, if what you uploaded is a sample of a larger pack, the preview image must describe the art you actually uploaded to OGA, and not the additional art that you are advertising."
Thanks, but it's not really the description that's a potential issue (or not only the description). It's fine to advertise your commercial packs, but the previews should show what is actually in the free pack here on OGA. I understand the purpose of having a scene to demonstrate how the asset could be used, but these previews are more deceptive than demonstrative. If the pack doens't include dragons, trees, backgrounds, etc. the preview probably shouldn't have them either. Or at least the preview should make it obvious somehow that those features are not included.
"Your title and preview images must be descriptive of the content you actually uploaded. Specifically, if what you uploaded is a sample of a larger pack, the preview image must describe the art you actually uploaded to OGA, and not the additional art that you are advertising. It is fine to link to the larger pack in your description."
Thanks for understanding, and great asset! I love the vibrancy on the full pack components, too. :)

@Joth: Good idea. Basically identical to suggestion #14 above.

Ooh! ok! Awesome. That's even better. Thanks.
The issue is not with the 2nd pic. it's with the
1st and3rd.are the sprite dimensions an adjustable setting in the particle fx designer?
