š®š¾ The 2025 Opendorse Mascot Battle is here.
Over a decade ago, we were piling into vans for company trips, debating which high school mascots would win in a bracket-style showdown. Bulldogs vs. Wildcats. Vikings vs. Panthers. One-minute arguments. Van votes. Winner moves on.
It started as a way to pass the timeābut it became tradition.
Now, itās virtual. But every year, I find a way to level it up.
Last year was Funko Pops. A few years back, everyone designed their own mascot.
This year? PokƩmon.
I used ChatGPTās new features to turn every teammate and their high school mascot into a custom sprite. Then built an overworld map, designed the bracket reveal, and set the stage for six days of fierce debates inside Opendorse.
No one knows the theme until the bracket dropsāand honestly, I just have a blast putting it all together.
This yearās intro turned out too good not to share. So here we go⦠š¤·āāļø
