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 for a minute I had mixed my units and storage technologies (GBA can have 32MB of rom). Turn out the DS had only 4MB of ram and the 3DS 128MB + 6MB of vram.

but I have a soft spot for the GBA, the simplicity of a color 240x160 screen and 10 buttons

@gkrnours @eniko and they still managed 3d graphics on the GBA. Someone even pitched Resident Evil 2 on it to Capcom with a playable demo.
