NDS Homebrew Bounty!

[Sephi]

Are ports of Windows programs qualified for this?

Well they would be still considered homebrew wouldn't they?


$200 a month...
That means you'll need 1200$ donations per year

$2,400 actually.

 

[bobrules]

This is great news, I hope we'll see some awsome new homebrews, or major updates to homebrew.

ROFL. Ya, seriously lacking math skills. $1200 yearly?

Did you ditch math class?................... For like 10 years?.................

am I a "long time trusted member"?

I think they mean staff only or occasional if any guest raters.

Hrmm, just a thought, but how about skimming a percentage of the monthlies for a yearly best of the best?

Completely unexpected though, perhaps maybe now certain folks can stop crying that GBATemp is the cause of Nintendo's wrath which would see the demise of homebrew

 

[Mei-o]

Hmmm, looks like I need to learn how to make homebrews...

Sounds like a good idea to me!
Best of the best, hehehe... lucky be the one who will get this award.

 

[enarky]

Not sure if this bounty is a good idea. Money generates conflict and brings out the worst in people. You better make some tight and waterproof rules for this...

Well, at the least it would give some incentive to top the previous win right up to the end of the cycle... doesn't necissarily have to be cash for the best of the best, though. The only downside I could see is the possibility of a great piece of homebrew being held to the very last second

(ie: we don't see it public for a loong time)

Indeed, I saw some of the worst things going on when I was watching over a Neo compo... everyone wants to agree only to the things that would make their entry a winner, even if it means going proxy psycho to add fake votes for bunk work.

 

[Cyan]

That's a great idea.
It make me remember the DS Wifi lib and DS wifi documentation bounty which Stephen (from Akkit.org) won both

10 days ago I had some homebrew rpg idea and started reading PAlib documentation.
I don't know if I will ever accomplish something decent or playable, but I would like to try anyway.
it will take many months I think before I'm satisfied and show something, so that's a good thing it's a monthly bounty

note : I would have made it even if there was no bounty, that's just good timing.

 

[Programix]

Wow, this should encourage me enough to FINALY finish my game

By only letting donators vote, we hope that it will dissuade this type of behaviour, because the amount of money and (new) members that would need to be spent on votes would not only attract our attention (if they were all for the same thing) but would probably be better just given to the author anyway.

 

[fosteliss]

i wanna see i new version of colors.... one with better wifi support and collaborative painting!!!

 

[RebelX]

I agree with a previous poster, this is a good but risky idea. Let's just see how it turns out.

 

[Mewgia]

That's a great idea, though I do agree that there should be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes. Maybe give the $200 to the 1st place, and then member donations to the 2nd place winner?


And custom AK firmwares (and other modifications to open source code) should qualify.

 

[OSW]

including wii would be cool too.

 

[Timo710]

Man, you should do this for the Wii too man, cause Wii homebrew isnt that far right now.

Love the idea though!
