Ikkakujyu,

>>I guess I'm hopping on the Gladiator bandwagon, too. I'll do what I can.
keep hoppin... :-)

>>I'll definitely do some 2D artwork. I already have a good theme in mind: 
>>images engraved into grayish marble. Fits with the gladiator idea.
Veery good. Still remember: This is an Arena in the world of Arianne, it's NOT a roman Arena.
That does mean: No style is requested by now (we don't have one, to be excact, but better ask Miguel), except it is recommended it is NOT too "romanic" (if you get the notion... ;-)

>>low-poly?
I'm not an expert, so perhaps you might give a hint what this means in numbers?

>>The music gets tricky, when we get to the GPL issue.
Not necessarily so.

>>I have a lot of sound samples from [*peep*] games lying around,
No copyrighted material ever.

>>a) Find freeware sound samples (which are usually pretty horrible)
Not an option. We need to be, and want to be original.

>>b) Make your own with real instruments (of which I have few),
An option for our musicians, if they have the means.

>>c) Make your own with a synthesizer (doesn't fit well with the game concept). 
It DOES, but thats something that still has to be declared. I have to comment on this, now that pandoras box is open... :)

>>Of course, using MIDI solves this problem, but that pretty much rules out Linux capability.
Why?

>>Does anyone know the legal issues about those Squaresoft samples?
Not an option. Please.
