I think best case scenario, I could find a team that only needs me part time to do narrative/mission/quest design, since that's what I do every day. But that is the fun stuff, so I imagine teams would probably love to do that themselves. In which case I totally get it.

I've got a full time job working as a game designer. I've also got kids. I've always wanted to do game jams on the side, but I'm not sure I can commit more than an hour or two a night. I've always thought of game jams as these things where everyone is crunching 24hrs for a few days, and while that seems really fun and appeals to me, it just doesn't fit with my current work/life balance.
Is there room for someone like me on game jam teams or should I just hold off until my kids are all grown up and my wife is so tired of me that I can get away with using vacation time to hide in my man cave and make games 24/7?
