Game Making Secret Santa Update!

Posted by Thuan on December 24, 2007 1:46 pm

Hey all. I hope those doing the secret santa are doing well. :) So by now most of you (hopefully) should be more or less done making the game for Secret Santa. Now you can email the person’s game to them directly with the email address I’ve given you. If you’re having any problems please post in this thread or contact me directly and we’ll help sort things out. If you aren’t finished your game, then it’s okay - we’ve been there before… just let the other person know that you’re having a delay.

Merry Christmas everyone and thanks to everyone who participated!

Good luck on exams!

Hey all.  Since exam time has started already and the holidays are coming, there won’t be any more meetings for this year.  We’ll announce a new meeting time some time later for next year.

Secret  Santa emails have been sent out for those participating, check your email.
Good luck on your exams, Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Game Making Secret Santa

First of all, big thanks to Katie for coming with this super creative idea to do for Christmas! :D

We’ll be having a Secret Santa except without gifts. Instead each person (the giver) will be given a random person (the receiver) to create a very simple and small game about the receiver based on three things the receiver lists about him/herself. The giver will then create a small and simple game for the receiver based on the three descriptions The game should only take a day or two to make, unless of course the giver wants to spend more time on it to give it some polish and shine. On Christmas day the giver, (or the club, we haven’t decided yet) will send out the gifts via email or post it on the website for the receivers to get their gifts!

For those who want to participate, we’ll be collecting names today at the club meeting. If you can’t make it but still want to participate, email us at info@utgddc.com to let us know with the following info:

  1. Name
  2. Email address
  3. Three things that best describe yourself or your interests

We’ll wait until next week Monday to send everyone an email about who they will be giving to along with the list of three descriptions. Everyone has until a few days before Christmas Eve to make a game about the person they’ll be giving to. If you have any questions, please ask or email us. See you soon!
