4. General de-clutter. https://i.imgur.com/2p204jy.png 1. huge title/call-to-action, 2. large section titles, 3. wasted space around thumbnails
In general I would suggest to learn/copy/steal a lot of the UX from https://sketchfab.com/models/popular . No, sketchfab doesn't share OGA's values and goals but some goals (growth) match and some methods (growth through attractive presentation of user content) can match. :)
If I had the burden of processing the feedback, I would pick one and only one purpose of the page that is supposed to be designed for (landing page for guests) and focus on one purpose only (impress them). Maybe later there'd be time to implement a dashboard landing page for logged in users (or simply a dashboard) that is more community-focused.
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?
Sounds cool but complicated to implement and mobile-unfriendly. I'd focus on one preview and in a future project see if the upload form needs improvement.
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?
I would ignore the effect on submissions with non 16:9 thumbnails and find solutions (uploading requires 16:9) later.
There seems to have been a positive reaction, I saw at least some of their uploads getting updated with mp3 versions and they sound good/ok (so I guess timidity on my system just has a bad setup)
Oh I see, I listened a bit to the "original" and I think I can see some similarity in the structure but this definnitely sounds like an original creation to me. I wouldn't even write "remix" but "inspired by".
To me, making a remix means that I have the source music in tracks or that I use a released track's soundwave directly to modify it with the original music clearly noticeable in the produced remix. Sorry for the confusion but to me, you saying 'remix' and having their name in the file name even made me sure of it.
You might want to clarify how you would like to be (I know it's optional :) ) attributed though. Deva, Gryzzex or Xenocity?
Did you get permission to share the remix under cc0? Does the original creator know about this remix? International copyright law makes it so that the owner of the original owns copyright of remixes.
Thanks, it seems to work now.
This is crazy amazing music - wow!
Uploaded a new item today ( https://opengameart.org/content/fps-announcer-voice ). when pressing submit button, it took about 40 seconds to finish.
Loading https://opengameart.org/ takes 6 seconds.
In incognito mode, main page loads in 3 seconds and keeps spinning the load icon for 3 more seconds.
In incognito mode, individual asset pages load quickly, in non-incognito, they take a lot longer.
I guess I have to clear cookies and such.
@Botanic thank you for working on this. If not for the irregular grid, I would favor http://199.180.155.219/ over the current homepage.
@Samuncle ( https://samuncle.github.io/opengameart-new-gui/ ) gorgeous work.
1. Title length breaks layout. Solution: white-space:nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; https://i.imgur.com/N0F42RI.png
2. Title placement should be below image
3. responsive webdesign is missing (sketchfab has excellent width limits https://sketchfab.com/models/popular ).

Thanks for clarifying, the "he" and "his" in the description at the time of writing made me think Deva is not the creator.
