Probably depends wheter Jakub Wasilevski is around and has time to organize it. Or anyone willing to take over.

I could always organize one if Jakub isn't around.

I'm thinking SantaHack.

Don't know. Looking back at the previous ChristmasHacks I only see about 20 or so participants per year and not sure how many ever actually finished to submit anything for it each year. I Know I participated in 2005 but never finished anything to submit it. That is my mo, I join competitions left and right but have never done anything for them. Only guarantee is that if you have one I might join it but doubt I would submit anything. I think we should try to get one started again though. I'm torn on the topic though.

I've attended 05, 06 and 07 and submited an entry for all three. Not quite finished by my standards, but all three were playable. Unfortunatelly I don't have time this year. Instead of hacking together a gift for somebody around here I'll be hacking a school software project

Don't know if I'll continue my pattern of joining and doing nothing. This time I may just avoid it and still do nothing. I've joined too many compos and got ideas I wanted to make and ultimately had to just write them down as I watched the deadlines come and go. I sincerely wish everyone else that partakes in it the best of luck in it.

I'll say that I'm in but... I have loads of stuff going on right now up until Christmas Eve so It will be like two hours at night everyday to work on it.

However, I'm sure if the rules play out with an easy outcome then it can be done

I have to wait and see how my time fits with it. It would be 1 week before xmas right? 17th/18th? If I have the time I might join, although I don't want to go as hardcore as I did in '09, that drained me out too much.

EDIT: Bleh, god damn hell, I got 2 finals on the start of that week.:-/

Yeah I signed up for the LudumDare compo back in like August or September (theme was escape), never did anything for it. Signed up for the 64 Digits Four Digits Halloween compo and had a great idea for it, but again never did anything for it. My curse is that I just don't believe in my abilities so I join thinking I'll do something, then ultimately just let the project and deadline go by. Now both game ideas I have I just jotted down and left in a notebook with my other ideas I have never made. <sarcasm> I don't see a trend there at all.</sarcasm>

Spreading around negativity of not doing anything isn't gonna encourage more people to try. Last xmashack had way fewer people than before, but I did see a lot of entries at speedhack at least.

I'll join but my time will be limited by 3 days at the start I think. After the day I'm done with my exam I can get into coding spree... I'll have the 3 days before to think of a game idea with the rules I get. Plenty of code from Speedhack to reuse as well.

I'll give it a go.

I think I tried once before, but I had to move apartments half-way through.

IIRC it was called red sleigh down and was going to be a side-scrolling arcade shoot em up.

The only thing is that I don't have much time now because I am looking for an apartment to move into again! Funny that huh?

Count me in anyway though.

I'm free that week, I'll take a stab at it. I managed to make a missile defense prototype in 22 hrs, so maybe I can whip something up for CH too.
