"It's that time of year again!!!" "Ho! Ho! Ho!" "Don't Eat Too Many Mince Pies!!!" "Bring Us More Figgy Pudding" "Christmas" that's right it's christmas and it can only mean one thing secret santa. Last year's theme was "You're forgiven of your debt". This year's theme is your debt's back. sorry!!

Post your "list" of things you want in your game below. on the 13th december, all the lists will be sorted randomly and you'll get invited to a 🤫secret discord🤫 if you want to share your WIPs with other people. you all know how it works by now!!!!! Let's have some fun!!!!

soft deadline for submitting your game is "sometime in january"

List Rules: - please keep it fair and try not overburden your santa with too many items - don't be too hyper-specific, and avoid specifying a genre. you're not commissioning a game, you're getting a mystery game!!

Woo!

Hello! I had a lot of fun with this last year, so I figured I'd give it another shot.
I'd like to see...

- A very gimmicky gimmick
- Some stuff from old public domain animation/comics/cartoons (bonus points for Stardust the Super Wizard, though it's not a requirement)
- Something to do with pinball in some fashion

Looking forward to doing this!

  1. Something surreal/otherwordly/mysterious
  2. Snow/winter/cold
  3. Puzzles/riddles
  4. A story
  5. Melancholy is nice

aaaaaa

i might try,
i would like 0 to 4 of the following:

- underwater
- cute characters/creatures
- confusing/strange/mysterious
- may or may not contain one or more softlocks

First time participant, my list

Feel free to disregard any that are too cumbersome, time-consuming for you, or that you simply dislike. These are not requirements:

  • A combination/clash of two themes/aesthetics that aren't typically seen together
  • A gimmick or mechanic that leaves no corner of the game unscathed ("really? did it really have to also affect this?")
  • Homemade ambient track
  • A parable that teaches the player a lesson quite different from any parable they have heard before
  • A fun or interesting character controller, or one with two different modes

hmm

last year went well so why not
(I feel bad for not submitting anything for a while so I might as well join again)

anything from this:
- something related to cryptids or paranormal
(bigfoot, lochness monster, secret of pyramids .. whatever)
- spiders
- funny hats
- rival detectives
- inappropriate use of ascii characters
- a muffin for no reason
- can't think of more - just have fun

internet mystery

Honored to join this tradition! Here are some things I love in games:

- A quirky movement mechanic/way to get around
- Surreal level design
- The medieval time period

:)
