Should I try to organize a Dlang game jam?

Probably would fix our ratio on game engines to actually finished
games, and also would help to establish D as a language feasible
for game development in the long run.
So far the concept is:
- Try to make it into a yearly thing. Maybe even more often later
on, if there's interest.
- Ban AI. While I get why some people like it, it is extremely
controversial within the art world, especially in case of
competitions. Generative AI isn't like steroids, it's like going
to a motor vehicle to a sports competition.
- Premade assets will be allowed, but people taking part must
credit them.
- All entries must have their sources uploaded, this allows for
checks for safety (it's an issue within game jams) and potential
grading based on code.
- First one will (likely) won't have a prize save for being able
to decide the next one's theme. (First one will be space)
- As D can target many systems, the jam will be only limited to
PC and easy to emulate systems. Later on, homebrews might get
their own category.
- Winner will likely be decided with polls.
