Are we doing this again? Heck yeah, we're doing this again!
Introducing the second annual Sekret Santa Klub! Sign up! Get your name drawn from a hat! Make a game! Who has your name? Who knows! But whoever drew your name will be making a game just for you!
Because a lot of folks missed the 25th last time, we will be starting a week earlier, giving you another seven days to make a game in case you get busy with relatives and what-not! Outside of that, things will work the same way as they did last year:
- Sign up before December 11th to get entered into the hat drawing!
- Post gift ideas in this thread so your Secret Santa knows what kind of game to make.
- On the 11th, you will get a private message telling you who your assigned Santee is! You will have roughly two weeks to make a game for your Santee!
- Post your game here at some point during the 25th! Don't worry if you're a few days late. Just try to get it in at some point before the new year.
Reminder: Each Santee gets ONE (1) gift and ONE (1) gift only.

I found that 3D Santa GIF
Edit: Replaced with slightly less fabulous/distracting GIF.
we should do lists this year, again
To make things suspenseful, I will not/forget to post my list of things I would like in a gift until Dec. 10!!
To make things _really_
To make things _really_ suspenseful, wait to post your list until some time _after_ the 11th!
(Please don't do this.)
Okay, mno, it's the 10th.

I think I'll post an old Christmas related KNP game I found on a bootleg game CD a while ago, called "Tyler's Christmas Game" or something like that. Ill check and get back when I find the title
???This isn't an event
???
This isn't an event about posting existing games. It's about making games for other people. If you're looking for the regular KotM then #78 will be up at some point (which is a different event from Sekret Santa Klub).
Actually, if it's just a game that you've found you might want to try here instead: http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/forum/1
I think I'll give it a miss
I think I'll give it a miss this time around, since I freaked out and failed to finish a game last time. :(
I really liked making your
I really liked making your game, though!
I liked playing it too, even
I liked playing it too, even when it was traumatising me.
...I actually have a secret plan to try and complete an extremely late game for FlaviusMaximus next week, after which maybe I'll feel like I can participate this year. Wish me luck!
That's pretty cool!
But i'd feel pleased if you focused more on this year's secret santa instead of forcing yourself into making that game for me. You may even forget it if you want! Let's just celebrate chistmas!
I'm really excited for that one
I've kinda been waiting for it, but disappointed in the spoiler tag. Don't let that stop you. I even made a couple of swf greeting cards that I was gonna embed here but it might just come across too tacky so I'll link to them later, when the time is right.. But like, they're really inspiring and just knowing that they exist should be enough inspiration to inspire you to get your step in the direction to completion. You might hve to remind me to link them later though because I might forget. But they're not super polished, they're like trainwrecks in themselves. But yeah, That ought to help a lot. The theoretical greeting cards, man. Do it for the ackz and greetz
Newcomer
Hi, this is my first time here! Here's a list of things I like:
-Foxes
-Scarves
-Cakes
-Art
-Flowers
-Forests
-Swords
-Cuteness
-Pastel colors
I'm interested to see how this will turn out...
So I decided to go for a
So I decided to go for a weird tiered list format this time. Anyway, here is that list of things I like (try to pick at least one from Tier 1 and at least one from Tier 2):
Tier 1 - Types of games
- Platformers
- Tile-based puzzles (Chip's Challenge, etc)
- Fast-paced retro shooters
- Pac-Man and similar maze type games
- Sequence breaking through glitches
- Non-sequitor (Revenge of the Sunfish)
Tier 2 - Game identity
- Happy hardcore, or really, any music with bright texture and a feverish melody
- Pastel colors
- Cute things
- Hugs and snugs
- Boy pursues/rescues boy
- Genderfuckery
- Nonviolent reinterpretations
- Classic fangames (EG. Mario Quest, Yoshi vs. Windows)
- Games that contrast happy, fluffy worlds with dark tone shifts (Kirby, Eversion, Sonic CD futures, etc.)
- Environments inspired by Sonic CD, especially the futures
Tier 3 - Aesthetics/Finishing Touches
- 60 FPS fast scrolling
- Color cycles
- Nearest-neighbor sprite transformations
- Bounciness
SNES' Panic In Nakayoshi
SNES' Panic In Nakayoshi World would fit in almost all of your list's things (((could be your favorite game of all time)))
I like everything about this except
I like everything about this except the anime stylings (not a big fan of anime).
At risk of making this list
At risk of making this list way too long:
After playing Nifflas's "The Big Sea" I remembered that I also really like games about rolling/tilting balls and nice ambient music. So, uhh, those are a couple more items for you to consider.
Stuff I Like
I like shootemups of any stripe. Retro is very inviting to me. Unless you want it to be a work of visual art, there's no need to spend too much time on graphics.
I [heart] GT. This sounds like a lot of fun. :D
Oh, this is great! I usually
Oh, this is great! I usually can't do Saturdays but the two week time period will give me ample time to make a Christmas present game :)
Here's my list of things I like, hopefully some sort of weird combination will result.
Atmosphere:
- Lovecraftian Horror
- badly written melodrama
- nonsense
- dreams
- ambiguous endings
- puns (puns puns puns)
- exploration and sight-seeing
- aaaand...time travel?
Gameliness:
- collectible card games
- combining elements to make new spells
- twine games
- metroidvanias
- RPGs made with really old programs like OHRRPGCE or RPG Maker 95
Other stuff:
- Chiptunes
- hand-drawn graphics, poorly scanned
- super minimal pixel graphics (2 colors for life?)
- Procedural Generation 4eva
- Overuse of the word fecund
I hope this is enough stuff so that we both get the game of our dreams. but please don't attempt to do everything - that would obviously be a mistake. maybe 2, or perhaps 3 if you're feeling particularly brave.
i've not made a game since
i've not made a game since last year's event. this is crazy.

Things that i like:
- Platformers with Guns and/or swords (let me smack enemies)
- Disgaea-ish RPGs (variables everywhere) (i'm assuming you'll go with a platformer game) EDIT: (make it a platformer okay)
- 8-bit graphics with nice and bright color palettes (forget the NES' limitations!)
- Cute things (not the baby/puppy kind of cute, more like Lucky Star cute (although i don't like cute anime that much...)) or even the Pocky & Rocky smooth kind of cute!
- Those Game Boy Advance games which use old GB/GBC 8-bit synth along with new PCM samples and "Real" drumsets (like in Castlevania: HoD)
- Clever level design and lots of different enemies!
- WWII guns (what??) (welp, yes. i'm not a guns aficionado but i find them kinda cute. Those shacky and clanky noises are cool.)
- Fullscreen my game, or at least make a fullscreen button (pleeeeease!)
- Dogs
- Last but not least, Innocence. Don't swear or sever someone's head!
Atmosphere
I enjoy games I can play with my brain turned off but even more enjoy being engaged.
Depth!
Other than that simple NES style arcade games are my bread and butter.
--other things
-run into the enemy to attack
-gambling
-good music and atmosphere
-quirkyness but not stupidity
-tasteful macabre
-upgrades
Thanks in advance Santa!

Whoa, it's a good thing the
Whoa, it's a good thing the names hadn't been drawn automatically, or otherwise your two-minute tardiness would have excluded you from the drawing.
I've gone ahead and closed signups to prevent something like this from happening (don't worry, you're still onboard).
I dunno.
A spoiler to have a list, but Anything that looks randomly generated that seems to have artificially generated personality, something generated with this http://www.mattoates.co.uk/work/parody.php or jazz appreciation. I don't have too many gripes. Yellow Jogger, mno,
can't wait
Dude when do you do the hat drawing I can't wait it's already 1:30 PM here you know so what when do you do it when do you do it you said only 2 hours left so now what EDIT I'M SO EXCITED
List
Might be to late but here is my list,
trippy visuals for me are never a miss.
~mic drop~
Recipient Received...!
STOKED to make this game! :)

;___; Are there any other late signups that I can make a game for? How'd I miss this?
Sorry about that! I imagine
Sorry about that!
I imagine you could still submit a game for this if you wanted to - just make a game dedicated to someone you like, though preferably someone who isn't already participating! You could also just dedicate a game to the community itself like nanosity did last year.
Edit: If we get enough people maybe we could have, like, a second Secret Santa ring? But it wouldn't be very exciting with only two or three people involved...
Cool 8-) I know what I'll do!
