RPG4D judging suggestions

RPG4D Standalone Banner Request

RPG4D could use a standalone banner so that we can use it to advertise the competition, put it in your signatures at other forums, etc.

The one I have on the competition page doesn't have any information about the competition on it (it doesn't even say that RPG Four Digits is a competition), so isn't really suitable for that. Plus it's hardly very good anyway, so if someone makes a new one I'll replace it.

Seeing as I have no graphical skills at all, I'm going to ask you guys if you could come up with something!

Ideally the banner should have the competition name (or "64digits" and the competition theme if you prefer), mention that it is a game making competition and have the dates and/or duration of the competition.

Judging Panel Suggestions

So I've decided that the competition will have a judging panel involved in some way, who will either fully or partially decide the winners.

Preferably the panel will consist of famous indie game developers, people whose opinion will be both well respected and unbiased. And if they've made RPGs, that would be a bonus I guess.

So I'd like to ask who you would like to see judging, if you could pick any game developer, artist, composer, etc. Think ambitiously.

(Well, not too ambitiously. First person to suggest Shigeru Miyamoto gets punched in the face)

Thanks Cyrus. :)

Regarding the judge thing… I hope someone famous replies, but I don't think anyone will.

Fingers crossed though.

NAL's been confirmed as a judge! So that's one down…

…I'm not actually planning on asking any more until at least another month

No really, I think getting one of these "top indie devs" for such a little site as ours is going to be difficult and ambitious. It's a nice thought, but maybe we should consider something else.
Cactus, NAL, and JW used to hang out here (as I'm sure you know). I don't think it's too wild of an idea.

@Acid Yes because madhouse is awesome.

Well, in that I was kind of referring to the Notch suggestion. Basically anyone who hasn't used GM might be hard to get.
