This would be my first game jam, so I've no idea how close I'll get to making something finished, but I love having a goal. I'm currently working with the idea of a computer program, starting with something really small that gets integrated into larger and larger programs over time. What kinds of bugs would persist (one might think of them as artifacts, eh?) from version to version? My hope is to play with the conceit of AI and its emerging consciousness, how a text file might grow and compound into something immeasurably complicated.
That sounds exactly like my software project at work. Every time it changes hands to a more skilled developer, it grows exponentially more complex (or gets ported to another language), and when there are no skilled developers on staff, it stagnates until a new one is hired. I'd be willing to give it a try if you want a play tester.
