@neauoire i'm sighted but i quite enjoyed mine racer by 2MB Games. it was very challenging: https://2mb.games/games/mine-racer/

maybe such an approach is cheating, though?

@neauoire This has me idly wondering if using a black background and spare art would draw less power than more complex stuff with a lighter background. 🤔

@neauoire oh maybe something that starts in the dark and you have to illuminate parts at a time. 🕯️

@neauoire Definitely turn-based - don't want a lot of things happening at a time. Maybe card-style games? Something graphically simple. Could do a point-and-click adventure or those text-controlled graphical adventures?

@neauoire I was thinking it might be cool to make one where minimizing energy usage is a mechanic of the game, like a fighting game with an energy bar

@neauoire The economy has to shift to export benefit per watt as the measure of value. Unity/Unreal/Godot are in that context not even options. AAA is even worse. Make your own engines and share load between hot-reloaded C++ and Java. Make your games engines open with "Source Available". License assets with resell rights to minimize bureaucracy. Make client-server multiplayer action games with gameplay that never expires. A jam is not the solution because it creates more waste.
