HO HO HO all you game-makers out there! It's time for this year's MERRY KLIKMAS game jam! Here's how it works:
- Participants sign up for the game jam, and post their own wish list of what they want in their very own game.
- Drawings will occur at the end of the day on Saturday, 11 December. All participants are locked-in at that time, and each will be sent a private message that lets them know who they're making a game for this year. Those who submit a list afterward will be paired up with one another, or hey I'll just make another one for them! (perhaps?)
- Games should be posted in this event when they are done. Send a special MERRY KHISTMAS message to your recipient to let them know their game is under the Glorious Trainwrecks Glorious Tree!
- The final due date is Saturday, 7th January-ish. Do what you can to have your game complete and posted here by the deadline... No one likes to receive late gifts!

We have completed all phases. If you've not submitted your game yet, please do your best to do so promptly! Your recipient is patiently waiting. :D

If you've received your game, then play it a lot and let the game-maker know how much you appreciate their efforts...!

I'll keep all the Santa gifs posted here, just because.

hugs's picture

would it be possible to

would it be possible to bring the start date up a few days? or would that not leave enough time for people to sign up, etc?

Starting Phase Too

I'd considered moving the date to sometime sooner, but
- two weeks sign-up period to post lists is what has worked for the past couple years, and
- the calendar works out nicely this year for those dates
- since there are popular holidays ending on Sundays this year, it crams upcoming weekends full of events for lots of folks.

Hopefully this schedule can still work out for you. I'd love to see the kind of game you can come up with for someone else, hugs.

I want a racing-game that builds up a non-comical romance between characters.
It would be great if it includes some eroticism and a Korean adult-contemporary love-song.

Current Sign-Ups

So far we have eight people signed-up for this year. This is great news!

Here's something to consider, particularly so since it was brought up by another participant:
If we have at least 12 sign-ups by this weekend, would you like to have the name drawing one week early?

Please post a comment to share your thoughts! If we have a majority voting yes, then I'll go ahead and carry out Phase Too on Saturday 10th December.

I would prefer it. I'm

I would prefer it. I'm excited about starting. I would think that late-comers could be paired up together.

hmm

I feel bad about hardly making anything this year.. but last xmas one went well so i guess i should enter..
For wishlist.. something in a fantasy or sci-fi setting

aww... why are signups closed?

i wanted to sign up.

Signing Up

So sorry about sign-ups being closed. I have no idea how that happened! Feel free to add your name to the list. It should be active now.

Adding a wish list comment should be good enough to indicate that you want to participate this year, in any case. Signing up helps my name-puller assistant (because I want to be surprised too!), but it's not 100% necessary. But the wish list is.

ok

signups still seem to be closed (as seen in the attatched screenshot), but i will sign up manually via comment and make my wishlist anyway:
* make it adhere to as many past ludum dare themes as possible, preferably all of them at once
* bloo is the main character
* * but his sidekick/familiar/supporting character is a were-demon-furry
* pavement magnetic adrenaline bloodstain clock beads
* the game is the missing piece of the frog fractions 2 arg
* procedural content

Working Yet?

I think sign-ups for events are closed for an event as soon as it begins. I adjusted the event so that it starts at 11:59pm this coming Saturday (in my time zone), allowing sign-ups to stay open 'til then.

But ANYONE who submits a wish list as a comment by the drawing (now happening on 11 December) will be included in the drawing and receive their recipient on Sunday. I'll rescind my soft requirement that people sign up for the event, since it's pretty clear I've not had a handle on it when starting this.

I just realized that there's

I just realized that there's no roman numeral for 0, so the scoring would either have to start at 1, or the latin word for nothing: nulla

Wishlist

All I want are more games vaguely inspired by Digimon World (1999, Playstation), or virtual pets.
Looking for as many of the following features as you can muster:
1) Human protagonist...
2) ...who cares for and directs an AI-controlled monster companion, but...
3) ...the monster companion cannot be directly or immediately controlled by the player in any matter
4) free exploration
5) non-sequiter, inconsistent game world
6) strange but one-dimensional NPC's
7) food (for the monster companion, who is hungry)
8) toilets (for the monster companion, who needs to poop)
9) growth, death, and rebirth (for the monster companion, who is a living thing)

Focus on whichever features above, or aesthetic elements from the game, most appeal to you!
