Make a copyright free parody of an already existing game using stock photos or create a brand new title using your original ideas... and whatever stock photography has to offer.
Close that Aseprite window and forget about making sprites altogether, because for the following two weeks you are not going to draw a single pixel. Instead, open any photo stock of your personal choice and scroll down into its darkest depths, letting your imagination go as wild as creators of all those marvelous photos did.
Welcome to the 'Out of Stock', a game jam about making art, but without drawing any art.
Check out GAMINGTON, the world's first bonezine collaborative effort that gives in-depth coverage of all the games submitted for the jam.
