Developer Challenges

As some of you may have seen on other sites from other games, etc.. I was thinking it'd be pretty dope if there was some sort of Developer Challenge for like Best Plugin of the Season or something. Possibly run a vote poll on the oxide home screen where server owners can vote.

Figured this may spice up the community more than it already is

 

Maybe make a few diffrent categories like "Best GUI", "Easiest config", "Best Support"?

 

This looks like reverse psychology to trick developers into doing things for free they otherwise wouldn't. No thank you.

 

I can see why you can imagine that. I do pay quite a bit for developers making misc plugins. I just figured for all the free ones that are currently on here that maybe there could be a vote button on the plugin page and the one with the most votes gets like a super cool tag with some money from people donating or something.

 

@Kappasaurus like lone said I can see where you would think this. I would say that only addons made by devolopers choice (not requests or paid for commissions) just to keep things fair. Kappa you know I love and have paid for a number of addons myself on the other website... maybe the other site can implament something like this then...

 

Agreed

 

I think its more like a vote on the plugins that are already here

 

*when you geniunly want to bring some activity to a community and people turn it into things that it's not

exactly. He just assumed what i meant and didn't understand. not his fault

 

No, I fully understand what you mean. Just if it's monthly, presumably, new plugins will be judged, which in turn, motivates developers to put in more effort.

 

Whats wrong with a bit of motivation to put more effort in? All it will do is make that developer more well known to sell their premium plugins..

 

"Premium plugins" is the opposite of what you want. That fewer plugins for fewer people. You'd be better off donating to people like @Calytic to convince them to release more public plugins.
