I couldn't resist posting this, even though it hasn't officially started yet: the Nintendo DS Homebrew Bounty will be resuming soon!
GBAtemp started the NDS Homebrew Bounty back in 2008, in an effort to reward Nintendo DS homebrew developers and to encourage production of new gems. The principle was simple: we'd gather funds from donators, that would be entirely transferred to homebrew developers on a monthly basis. Each month, we complete the funds with an extra fixed donation.
Back in the day, GBAtemp financed the Homebrew Bounty by itself and since we didn't have a stable financial income (sponsors kept dropping us) we couldnt sustain the bounty and as a result, it had to be put on hold. This time, the Bounty will be totally and directly sponsored by ShopTemp, GBAtemp's partner shop. Collecting donations will be much easier and better organized. We're expecting to be able to collect a lot more funds than with the previous bounty, which will hopefully result in even more quality homebrew games, applications and emulators!
We haven't settled the details yet, but as soon as we do, we'll post another news article. Though if you're a homebrew developer and intend to submit your creations to the bounty, you should know that the Bounty will only reward new homebrew or significant updates, so you'll have to get to work! The purpose of the bounty is to encourage new creations and updates, not to reward authors that would rest on their laurels. And contrary to the 2008 bounty, this edition will be run on a monthly basis. If you don't win this month, don't lose hope-- you might win next month!
The NDS Homebrew Bounty will be sponsored by ShopTemp.com and ShopTemp.fr
If you run a shop, a website or any organization and wish to join ShopTemp in sponsoring the Bounty on a monthly basis, feel free to PM me on the forums or use the contact email address (see "Contact" link in the menu on the front page). Any donation, even small, will be welcome and will encourage the homebrew scene!
