I can use some of these. Thanks. Tagging this with "sound" and "sounds" is redundant since the asset is already associated with the Sound Effect category. See http://opengameart.org/content/art-tags for more information.
Nice submission. Tagging this with "2D" and "assets" is redundant since the artwork is already associated with the 2D artwork category and everything on this site is an art asset. See http://opengameart.org/content/art-tags for more information.
Not too drunk to upload a logo, but too drunk to create a preview mp3 that took me 5 minutes? Try harder next time. :P I got you, though. These are good sound effects.
I don't think your original request was foolish or naive. There was even interest from several people. It took a few months for them to reply, sure, but at the time that was not an unreasonable amount of delay, unfortunately.
There are many, many people who say "we're making a game. It's going to be amazing! Come help us out!" There is nothing wrong with that, but less than 3% of them actually make something playable. Most artists are wary of joining a project when they aren't sure it's got enough momentum. 97% of the time, the artist pours their heart and soul into some work for the project only to have the project organizer say "Eh, I don't have time (no longer want) to do this project anymore. Bye."
To your enormous credit, you are a rare success. Well done! This game looks good and I look forward to trying it out. But the answer to your question "...Where were you 5 years ago?" is, in most cases, "waiting for evidence of project momentum."
Playing the game so far, I am enjoying it. It is well-written enough that my imagination can picture most of the scenes. The ambient music contributes to the mood of the game, as does the interface. Pretty polished. It is intuitive as well. No need for a tutorial on how to navigate the game for the most part. No bugs that I could find yet. The gauntlet mouse cursor seems to have some transparency effect in the dropshadow, but the alpha channel was removed, so the gauntlet's shadow just looks like a whiteish border. I wonder if the cursor graphic would look better with the shadow border removed entirely. Honestly, this cosmetic thing is minor and the only nit-picking I could do. A good experience overall. :)
A few links may no longer be valid. Some of the contributions from JIMP, NightStrike, and Kenney can be found here on OGA. The rest are not on OGA (or they are but I could not find them anywhere in the archive)
Here is my own full copy of the bundle: http://www.medicinestorm.com/LLC/MedicinesArchiveOfOpenBundle.zip (~580 MB) I haven't really looked at the content much. If something is incorrect, corrupted, or out of date, I won't be able to help much. Also, this pack is on my own domain, so if bandwidth becomes an issue, I may have to discontinue hosting it myself.
Good stuff as usual, jalastram. However, tagging this with "soundeffects" is unneccessary when it is categorized in the "Sound Effects" art type. Considering all audio on OGA is for games, the tag "gameaudio" is also redundant. See http://opengameart.org/content/art-tags for more information.

Why can't you upload preview sounds?
Oops! I tallied the votes but never declared the winner.

Thanks to all who participated. Medals awarded.
What's next?! :D
Don't forget to add a link to the Surt's Scraps forum post these are based on!

Note the OGA topic you linked to states "I hope people understand that OpenGameArt.org isn't directly involved."
That being said, the bundle consistend of assets from a series of newgrounds games:
Adventure Story, Bullet Heaven and Epic Battle Fantasy III.
from Reimagine :The Game:.
and a collection of music loops.
Nightstrike and Da Pink Knight.

Can you include the 3d files (.obj, .blend, .3ds, etc.) on this submission? These files are not actually a 3D asset without them.
