I search for "open source" on youtube as part of my efforts to keep up with the open-source world. Yesterday I watched "Open source in games: How to save your studio time and effort" which mentioned OpenJam was coming up soon.
I'm been procrastinating on creating my pokemon parody for the last month by searching for and creating assets and making screen mockups. so I decide to join and create try to create my game as part of OpenJam. That should get my butt in the fire and make me actually make it instead of keeping to putting it off.
and trying to fit it into whatever the theme turns out to be might give an idea for some interesting twist on the standard pokemon trope.
