discussion Holiday Specials

Oh! Have any games on your mind that you could recommend with such a setting? The only good holiday theme i have on my mind right now is Being A Dik and the recent update with the Halloween party.

Sorry, I'd like to try and find some titles but unfortunately i'm pretty sick right now and only have 3 brain cells left, so I can't muster the energy to make one.

Summer holidays

Halloween wins hands down, great way to add parody work in to a non parody game.

Summer holidays

Do they even count as holidays though ? It's more like a season.

 

[GneeFee]

not a fan, you would think girls wearing only ribbons would be hot

 

[Unnerving3260]

None. They're either forced or there's no purpose to them being set at that time of the year. Or they're cringe af.

Festival! Festival! The Red Hour! Hahahaha! Are you of the Body?

 

[ec2neat]

Yeah, has to be Halloween for all the different sexy costumes.

Exactly

I like a game that takes us on a wee summer holiday type jaunt. Defending Lydia comes to mind with the wedding

Mine is May 4th.

Spoiler: May the 4th be with you

halloween parties are best hands down theres so much you can do with the theming

Yeah, Halloween presents a lot of fun scenarios, while Christmas scenes are usually variations on the same gift giving scene.

I assume those are the two holidays most devs go for because they have pretty obvious utility, and because they're two holidays with international pop culture appeal. Even if a developer sets their game in the US, unless they're American they probably won't care to do a Thanksgiving or 4th of July update.

Easter because that guarantees bunny suits

Xmas is fine. I just don't like elf ears on my favorite characters.

For me it's Halloween. Love the whole mask wearing accidental incest problems that arise.

Whats better than getting an unexpected gift on christmas? A trick on halloween . I dont have a favorite, personally. They all can be fun, given the game is designed well.

Love a nicely wrapped christmas gift

 

[zappbrannigan]

Christmas for me. Love the red dresses/lingerie and white fur.

I'm still waiting for a game to use Easter commenting about it originally being a Pagan fertility holiday.

To me, Halloween and Christmas are estranged holidays. Halloween is outside of the cultural code that has shaped me. I don't celebrate Christmas because I'm an atheist, and New Year's Eve is a holiday for me.
For this reason, I never download various holiday specials even in games I follow due to complete lack of interest. Besides, these episodes do nothing for the development of the main plot of the games, only divert the resources of developers.

Halloween. They're usually more open and fun. Also the costumes always look good.
