Some suggestions: Neutral, Medieveal, Future, Clock-/Steampunk (Clonkpunk uhm!), Asia, Fantasy, Western, Present, ...
Neutral is the best i think. Maybe mixed a bit up with Clonkpunk. But not to much.

As I've already made clear in the clonk.de board, I highly prefer a neutral clonk. Well, as neutral als CR has been. Hazard hardly shares any objects or graphics with the "normal" or medieval clonk, as they are quite incompatible with a futuristic look. That's why I'd focus on medieval, fantasy & clock/steampunk – but without making things to narrow concerning atmosphere and emotion. I want neither a dark and cheerless clonk nor a teletubbie clon(k)e.

OpenClonk should be something other than Clonk Rage. But changing the graphicstyle isnt the right way I think. More changing the gameplay.

Well, it's hard to talk about these things without seeing actual examples. Of course graphics should be renewed and I'd like a more consistent look. The balloon Newton has drawn for example is quite nice IMO. I can only repeat myself: Personally, I wouldn't like a dark and gloomy clonk. It doesn't fit.

can't find it til now. nice work, anyway. just a suggestion at this point: maybe you should change your gallery script; this one isn't very userfriendly. but - just a suggestion :)
Actually, it was already there before you suggested it. I've seen it. And how about an account for this forum? It doesn't hurt, and talking to Anonymous never feels nice.
Er, what the hell, a ship with a ballon?
But the picture looks awesome.

but i thing it would be a good idea to combine gwx and oc 'cause when you make some 2d graphics you have also 3d meshes which can be reused in 3d clonk

no, not really.
CR will never become as actual as Open Clonk, so why should somebody pay for this?

As we are changing lots of things for OpenClonk, CR will be kind of a different game.
And it will take a lot of time until OpenClonk will reach such a stable state as CR. Not everybody prefers alpha/beta-tests over mostly bug-free, stable versions...
So will the Clonk Rage Server run although Openclonkbeta is released?
Do you mean the league server or dedicated game servers?
At the moment, there are no plans to shut down any server. And the league server-scripts already have support for multiple games right now...but if it's a good idea to mix them (or have seperate servers) is certainly worth another discussion when the time comes...

If the game base is kept neutral, then a lot more freedom may follow in the mods and extensionpacks. Otherwise, the game may risk to be locked in a certain theme or style. For me, clonk means flexibility and it is stupid to kill that property. Then this will be like all other main stream game. Shallow and bland.

I would say that the clonk style is quite neutral. It isn't fantasy, sci-fi, etc etc. Just neutral.

I would be surprised if anyone sees clonk without addons and calls it a fantasy game.

For me, clonk isn't fantasy because I think fantasy is medieval with magic. Clonk doesn't feel medieval at all with windmills (producing electricity), elevators, powerlines, industrial oil, etc. The flintstones just feel like some chemical thing, not magical. The "green dragons" is some kind of huge lizard like monster. I have never really ascociated it with a dragon. :P
But however, this whole discussion is very subjective and IMO pointless (no offence). I don't think it is good to get stuck in genre thinking. Everything doesn't have to be in a category, just add what fits, and see where people want to place it later. =)
