That is why these federate and bridge :) If you are on Discord for example you can interact with our Mattermost chat through a bridge, and any ActivityPub compatible service will work fine together with Hubzilla. Hopefully there will also be a cross bridge soon.
What exactly is the license for the high-res textures that I could access if I support you on Patreon?
I don't mind donating, but if they are not at least CC-by-SA or similarly freely licensed that I can't really use them in a FOSS game project and thus getting them would be quite pointless.
Regarding a chat: yes and no... it drives away communication from a forum and thus can make it appear dead, but I guess that is a general trend.
But if you implement a chat please no walled garden. XMPP or Matrix both federate and can be set up to link with Drupal accounts. XMPP is a bit lighter on server resources and also more mature, but Matrix is a bit easier to bridge to other networks such as Discord or IRC.
Early preview and all, but it seems to me that it hits the worst possible combination of an overall convoluted and chaotic look, while the same time offering very little content with the huge pictures.
But maybe this is just the impression you get on a smaller laptop screen ;)
For starters you can join us on Discord https://discord.gg/efrDNG
And you can follow me on mastodon povoq@social.freegamedev.net

Very useful indeed. What kind of building style is it based on?
These are some nice textures!

Awesome! Some of the coolest stuff I have seen on OGA so far!

Maybe it's just me, but I think currently Samuncle's layout looks very generic, almost like one of those domain squatting pages :p
And I agree, it needs more direct access to the community features.
Not sure why you are all trying to start something from scratch... there are excellent themes available for Drupal that could be forked.
Just have a look at some image gid heavy themes like these:
https://www.drupal.org/project/yg_news
https://www.drupal.org/project/premier_league
Or a searchable catalog like theme:

Please have a look at this new Drupal8 plugin that claims to turn it into a DAM (Digital Asset Management) software:
https://www.drupal.org/project/dam
Maybe there is also a theme/skin that goes well with it.
