RE: Status of Game of the Month awards - Q-Nova - 09-05-2018
Thanks, guys! I did a minor change to the zig-zag thing's position. Also, I have made an alternate version that gives the text shadows:

Here's the previous version for comparison:

I personally like it more than the other version, but what do you think?
@Vitiman Haha, I like the crossed out part!
I picked Sunshine for my example since I do really like the game (otherwise Go! Go! Gooble!! wouldn't be Go! Go! Gooble!!).@Dustinvgmaster Yeah, if one has GIMP and knows how to use it, they can just take the banner, replace the image and text, and then there you go! A banner is generated! I would've sent the source for anyone wants to mess with it, but I can't seem to make a download link to it (when I make a link, it just takes me to a page filled with gibberish rather than downloading the file for me).
I suppose one could give me a screenshot and the title of a game and then I can make a GOTM banner out of it, though.

Hardly makes a difference but it looks fine. I still find the text a little hard to read though.
I also still like the idea of a "Community Spotlight" thing that I suggested earlier in the topic. Perhaps not as an "award", but just something we do every now and then to highlight a game, old or new. A short write-up about it, what makes it good, and info on where to download it etc. Could even do it for a game that's in progress.

Okay, I decided to put the source file into a zip, which should be downloaded if one clicks at a link to it. Here's the link.
@Kritter Are you able to figure out what makes the text a bit difficult to read? Maybe the yellow is too saturated. About the "Community Spotlight" thing, I'll say that VinnyVideo and I did think that we could cycle between choosing a new game and nominating an older game at one point during the topic.
EDIT: For anyone that's messing with the GOTM banner, here are some notes to keep in mind:
- The font for the game title and month is Hey Gorgeous, with the size being 12. The outline is grown by 2, I think.
- If the drop shadow is gonna be done, then here are the settings I used: offsets (both X and Y) are 4, blur radius is 5, and opacity is 30.
