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

@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

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

@eniko I am installing FiwixOS (thanks to @nina_kali_nina ), and i note that "the minimum memory recommended is 128MiB". If, you know, one were looking for an OS to host a game.

@eniko Would be entirely for it, I've long wanted something like the demoscene but ressource usage rather than the size of the executable.
