MERRY CHISTMAS, EVERYONE!!!

You know what that means, don't you? It's time for Glorious Trainwreckers all over the globe to share their funnest secret game desires with the world, then turn someone else's wishes into reality!

Here's How It Works:

  • PHASE ONE: COMPLETED!

    Create your wish list of what you want to see in a game, and post it in the comments below. Essentially, this is a list of clues for someone else, so they have an idea of what you'd like to see in a video game made especially for you. If you are late to the party and want to have a go at this, please send me a private message and I'll see what I can do for you.
  • PHASE TWO: COMPLETED!

    My faithful assistant randomly pairs-up a participant with someone else's wish list. Each participant takes that list as an inspiration for the game/toy/puzzle they'll spend the next couple weeks making. Make your games, toys, and puzzles now! As soon as you finish, post your game here in this event (see PHASE THREE, below).
  • PHASE THREE: PRETTY MUCH DONE!!!

    Games become "due"! Make sure you've created something and posted it here for your recipient to see and enjoy! It's also time to play other participants' games and share your constructive critique and supportive comments. Be sure to show appreciation for your game-maker once you've had a chance to play what they've made for you, of course...!

"OH HECK YEAH I WANT TO PARTICIPATE THIS YEAR!", you must be saying to yourself. All you need to do is post a list below of what you want to see in a game. There are no guarantees you'll see absolutely everything, but I can guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised with what is made for you. Additionally, posting your list below is a solid commitment that you will do your darnedest to create something from the wish list you've been assigned. Do your best. THE FATE OF CHISTMAS DEPENDS ON YOU.

Post questions below, folks! I will do my best to answer them ASAP.

On to the Santa GIFs...

Devil's Chord

I spent today making this, for some reason. Then I realized there was a KOTM today. I am retroactively declaring this a KOTM project. It makes music. Illegal music. Diabolic music. Okay, by that I actually just mean there are tritones involved.

there's already a game with a similar name, you see.
use your mouse to take stuff out of the pile and feed it to the cat.
pro-tip: he doesn't eat boots, but he most certainly does eat fish

homezonez88

Screenshot from 2020-04-01 23-56-54.png

had a lot of fun making this! thought i might make something bigger in 3d space but i'm happy with this!
took a long game-making and participating break. glad to be back. i made a new account as i feel like i'm re-upping.

homezonez88

is a simulation manifestation of the neighborhood of comrade 186345218 (of sector 88) based on ambient memories and dream-material of their native living units, education centers and public spaces. building on the ambient hypnagogic reconstruction technology of the mid 20XX+, zones- autodeploys com ‘s neural gates in the earliest era of that technology.

although com’s neural matter is ceased, this reconstruction appears to present commune units, sub-dwellings, store houses, street zones, skree zones, and other living units popular around the time between the first and second Great Crisi within northeast midlantic. the home zones appear to demonstrate the latest trends in building of its time, from camuoflage dazzle -spec to smart slime technology at a time when comrades had to rapidly adapt to the chaos of enviro-breakdown and there was a rise in intentional coliving collectives and their need to build environmentally-resistant and adaptive living units.

at this point the original p-wave material sleep systems has not been entirely reconstructed and calibrated. while the software is owned by the museum, the compression codec from that era has not yet been located. in the meantime, please enjoy this series of rendered dwell-units from home zonez88 of comrade 186345218, recovered from a physical storage device when such technology existed, and saved as playable zonez-files. the scanfiles showing an individual are believed to be of comrade 186345218.
