@Mark Oates :
Seem like a game title or a film title. Nice.

Thanks for all the complements - I didn't have a lot of time, and had to time-box my work to 1-hour so I'm glad it's well received.

I found an obscure black/white illustration on the internet that I couldn't find anywhere else, traced it, mirrored it and did some transformative blurring and whatnot. If I had more time, I would probably flip the horns and modify the eyes so they don't collide with the text. Again, didn't want to overthink anything and just get it out. The fonts I got from dafont, Eastman Black and Bovino Regular - a good font pairing if I say so myself.

Krampus is very offended.

It sounds that there isn't a great enthusiasm for this idea, so I'll leave the rules as is. No problemo.

I can see your point about the overlapping eyes, but I wouldn't change the horns. The horns are perfect like this, it makes it more creative, less like a standard devil. Indeed it's a bit sheep or goat like, but in a cool, monstrous way.

Maybe everyone can have just one wish instead of three but gets assigned two secret santas instead of one and then make a game that would fulfill both wishes. Now if about half the people drop out everyone should still receive one game made for them on average

I think that Mark's great logo stole the attention away from this. I thought it was a good idea.

I think it's a fun and harmless change. It's trivial to throw together some kind of e-card. You could probably make one in 5 minutes, but it shouldn't take anyone more than an hour unless they're getting overly fancy. There are probably even e-card generators online that could be used.

Of course, nothing prevents a participant from ignoring this rule because they've already lost and there's little to gain. And some might well legitimately become too busy to even make an e-card. It isn't the end of the world if cards aren't delivered. They're really just a respectful way to bow out instead of just quitting. I think it's a good idea as long as we don't take it too seriously.

I did this on https://jspaint.app/ just now:

that... kinda works? 🤷‍♂️

MUCH improved, Mark! I like it, very Christmas-y now!

No need to be sorry or sad! Your image made me laugh. I'm kind of surprised you remembered Momo, to be honest. Technically, Momo isn't dead. I just forked it, re-wrote it to be hardware-accelerated (seriously, there were so many limitations before, like trying to tint bitmaps in real-time in software, but now it's all on the hardware, baby ), and re-branded it as "Poyo" instead. I might re-write my games using Poyo in the coming weeks/months.

If anyone is on gamedev.net, give a shout out.

Ah well, I don't know how much attention we get on GameDev.net in the first place. I have a feeling we're being ignored.

Good luck to everyone, I would enter but my current situation would no doubt result in me dropping out, so I'll just say good luck and I look forward to your entries!
