Funk Quest - Name Generation

You may be wondering how I did the name generation for Funk Quest… It’s a really simple process.

Remember mad libs. Asking for nouns, verbs, whatever. I use the basic concept here. I have two arrays, one with adjectives and one with nouns. Here is an example.

adj = [“Sticky”, “Tough”, “Angry”, “Funky”, “Stanky”]

noun = [“Slime”, “Goblin”, “Bird”, “Samurai”, “Old Man”]

Now all we do is pick a random entry from each array. This will give us neat combos like…

Sticky Bird

Funky Samurai

Stanky Old Man

You get the idea. It works a lot better with more in the word banks.

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
