Pixel Joint Forum: Contribution Guide

Message

Welcome to the OPP project! 

We are creating a cohesive 
set of game graphics, and releasing them into the public domain.
We are doing this because we enjoy making, editing and improving 
our art! Also, we want to support game programmers who might not have 
access to custom quality artwork.

The asset pack is downloadable from OpenPixelProject.com.

As an open project, we're always looking for new 
contributors. Legally, all contributions in any place are assumed to be 
in the public domain. (For more info about why we chose to release all 
the rights on all the artwork, check out this post)

What to work on 

First off, have a look at our style guide.

For contributions to be added to a set they need to 
match the colours, style and quality of the existing assets. Don't let 
that stress you out though. 
We love to collaborate, so share your work 
and we'll improve it together! Most assets go through several revisions 
before being included on the website - it truly is a collaborative 
process.

There are three ways to find stuff to work on.
Check out the forum threads to see what people have 
been working on recently, and contribute to those. It is always 
appreciated if you make improvements, add missing tiles and animations, 
or draw new assets to match with the existing ones.
Check out the WIP folder on the website. This is mostly abandoned work which would be awesome to have finished.
Check out the requests list on the website. Anyone is free to leave requests there, and upvote them as well.

Where to share it

Come meet us at our discord chatroom! Here you 
can immediately share your work in progress and get quick feedback. 
(Also, come say hi to us and perhaps attend our weekend voice meetings!)

Of course, anything posted in the chat might only be seen by a couple 
people. Anything that needs to be saved more permanently should go in 
the forums.

Happy pixelling!
