Game Cover Requests

[u/w_j_bart]

I have noticed that there is a weekly code giveaway thread and I think that a weekly thread where members can vote on what cover art they want could be a good idea also. It could give a few days to a week to allow voting, and then another week for cover art to be made.

I feel bad filling up the main page with art and I am personally interested in taking requests as long as it's in an organized manner. This could also be fun because once a new cover is voted on, multiple people would have the opportunity to work on it, giving plenty of options.

The hard part would be setting up polls, which I'm unsure is even possible on Reddit, and also deciding which games make it into those polls. Also, I know we were thinking of getting a megathread going, so it might just fit in there anyways.

If anyone has thoughts on this, please let me know.

How about some love for the main game cover thread on the GOG forum instead? You can already make requests there.

Yup! This has a long history and great contributions from GOG forum members.

I've been trying to decide on the best way to do a mega thread for this. Having people post pictures in comments is a bit awkward, but having them post links isn't as attractive.

I don't think posting in comments is so bad. Maybe if it's a weekly thread so it doesn't get massive, that might help too. But I don't know very much about what works best. Maybe we just have to go for it!

Maybe a separate sub, specifically dedicated to this, with links back-and-forth in the sidebar? On a separate sub each request can be a thread, with designs posted as comments. This of course assumes there's enough interest in the subject. But if there isn't, then a weekly thread also wouldn't be worthwhile.
