here's a free idea: RAM shortage jam, where you have to make a game for a system with low RAM capacity. like maybe less than 128mb or something

edit: OOM jam is a much better name than what i came up with https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aeva/116362518081235814

@eniko "oom jam" has a nice ring to it

@eniko i like that threshold. 128 megs is positively roomy for us custom engine folks but haw good luck submitting anything made in unreal or electron or whatever

@eniko each successive jam should lower the threshold a touch until we find the sweet spot :3

@aeva @eniko I thought it was an edible jam at first and now I want to eat it

I wonder how out of memory tastes

@hardpenguin13 @aeva @eniko I was about to tell you the taste but I forgot 😉

@hardpenguin13 In my mind it would taste like burnt toast.
