Homebrew bounty: announcement!
A new partnership!
Hello everyone! Today, we have an announcement to make regarding the Homebrew Bounty!
I am glad to announce that Dev-FR.org, a french website dedicated to homebrew development, are joining the project and will be donating $50 every month !



What's more, these 50 dollars will be offered to the first runner-up, which means homebrew authors have two chances of winning a prize! Many thanks to the Dev-FR team for joining the project and rewarding homebrew authors! They will be entitled to 5 votes every month.
Speaking of votes and judges, we on GBAtemp have finally completed our list of judges for this month. Our 10 judges will be:

• 5 members of the staff: shaunj66, Thug4L1f3, JPH, dice and Narin
• MR_COW and TeenDev, hosts of the HomebrewCast (Homebrew podcast)
• Mollusk, founder -among many other things- of the PALib, development library for the NDS
• cory1492, experienced developper and long-time member of GBAtemp
• Urza, former magazine staff member and homebrew specialist

We have also decided to start gathering a list of websites who regularly relay Homebrew Bounty news. Our current partner sites are:
HomebrewWelt.com (

) - Radio Ninty (

) If you wish for your website to appear in this list, contact me by PM.

Last but not least, I am extremely satisfied to announce that, within a little less than two weeks, we have received over $200 worth of donations! Huge thanks to all 17 donators - the list of donators will be published at the end of the month. Donators who sent $10 or more will receive an e-mail containing details on how and when to vote.
Stay tuned for more announcements!

Thanks a lot Dev-FR! Also, the more people aware of the bounty the better. If you're in a position of authority at a relevant website please help pass on the news! Thanks

I visit dev-fr quite a lot (although only as a bandwidth sucking leech) and I am happy they are onboard.

Why are you going to let a fermale be a judge?

 

[cory1492]

Why are you going to let a fermale be a judge?

Because there were no females on hand?

This homebrew bounty is really starting to take off. There've been a lot more donations then I thought there'd be!

Keep spreading the word. I hope to see some cool homebrew projects.

 

[Alato]

That's pretty awesome. If I had a credit card, I'd definitely donate a couple of dollars every month.

It adds up.

Not on GBAtemp, but you can find him if you try hard enough.

Google'd "Urza" to see what I could find and it turns out that's the name of a Magic: The Gathering set ): that strategy didn't work
