Let people know how long you've been working on the game
I’ve tinkered with random generators on and off for years. This specific one was started from scratch not that long ago… and then I thought it might make a good submission to this jam.

Super useful tool that I will bookmark for future usage.
Funny thing is, your splash animation is actually a great idea: find a name where you like the first or last part? Click the other part to have it replaced to see if you get a full name you like.
That… is something I hadn’t even thought of. I’m absolutely going to see if I can make that a thing after the jam is over.
Thanks!
Very nice tool !
Thank you very much!
"Howdy Traveler, welcome to the hamlet of Buttreek!"
Such a tool could be handy, could be fun to integrate it with a fantasy map generator.
Okay, “Buttreek” is a classic!
As for maps: the original impetus was something like that, and I would absolutely love to see it happen.
Hard to vote but the idea is really great ! Good Work !
Yeah, it was always going to be a bit of an awkward fit in the ratings phase, but I’m really grateful for the kind words.
These voting categories are really not suitable for your tool. I'm so sorry.
It's really useful, though.
The comments are what matter to me more. Thank you for yours!
Just generated Berggirdle, so its pretty great.
Yeah, that’s a good one. Thanks for having a look!
Could see this being really useful! Works great and some of the names were inspiring!! :D Awesome job on this! :D
I’d love to see anything that was inspired by a name from this generator! Thanks for your kind comment.
This is really cool, I really like the range of whimsical names you can generate! I'll have to bookmark this for the next time I need a good name.
I’m glad you liked it. “Whimsical” wasn’t necessarily the original aim, but it certainly seemed to end up dominating the results! Probably it was just through sheer variety of combinations—more of them ended up sounding silly rather than serious.
Horsebuckle sounds like an awesome place!
Just down the road from Duckbrake, yeah?
cool idea and useful as well, like it! :)
Thank you very much!
Wasn't completely sure how to rate this, since most of the categories didn't apply. Super useful little app, and the names it generates would easily fit into various different projects. Very helpful!
Yeah, it was an odd fit for the jam. Thanks for the kind words—I care more about them than about the ratings!
