A meme game to showcase all the things I learned while I took the OpenBOR journey in 2D brawler-style mod creation.
A big thanks to all the folks on this kind and helpful forum for pointing out the silly errors I made and the resources that I needed to focus on.
Extra thanks to:

Like many of the folks on this forum, our podcast's love for 2D Beatemups / brawlers started with Double Dragon and Final Fight (among many others).
Having gone down the bitcoin rabbit hole, we were trying to find a way to give back to the bitcoin community, help bring awareness to bitcoin, and at the same time scratch the itch of being able to create our own brawler.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin has existed since January 3rd, 2009 (~16 years now) and still hasn't gone to zero. There's a lot to be said about Bitcoin and there is a plethora of info that can be found on the net (ie: YouTube, Spotify, Twitter/X).
For any folks interested in understanding it better, here are some introductory documentaries/movies (free):
Here are some great books to read:
The Bitcoin Standard
Broken Money
Mastering Bitcoin (Technical)
Saylor
The protagonist depicted in the trailer above, is based on Michael Saylor - the Executive Chairman of Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy). Ticker symbol $MSTR.
Saylor is famous in the bitcoin/twitter/finance space for a few things:

Mod:
The mod currently only contains 1 level, complete with a boss and ending. Navigate Saylor through the "City of Tents" to help the citizens regain their financial freedom, rescue hostages along the way, and "orange pill" Fiat Thugs that have been paid off by the Mayor.
None of the so called "enemies" die, they are instead "orange pilled" (obtain an understanding of bitcoin through their interactions with Saylor), they then rise up and walk off into a better future.
Throughout the mod you will hear quotes/phrases made popular by Saylor (from various podcasts, interviews, etc.) - some of them are meme-level.
Here's an example:
