I suggest going through and deleting repeats, of which there are a few from what I can tell. I'll make up as many fun titles as I can, to at least do SOMETHING for this!
Doing that....
Nice concept! Looking forward to seeing it in action.
I made a random artgame-generator back in the PCG competition. Didn't quite work out the way I wanted, but it may be a useful reference:
http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=1747.0For random dialogue generation, one compromise is to create long lists of nouns, adjectives, and verbs, and just let the computer play
Madlibs with semi-structured phrases.
Also donated a bunch of random titles for the hell of it.
trying out your game... And MadLibs is what i was looking for, but since it's completing sentences with phrases, I have to make another script that will generate the sentence patterns, though.
After some thinking, I decided to steal your idea. Would you mind that? I mean, seriously, the premise is so much awesome that I can't resist not to think about my own game based around it. Most likely, I won't finish it but it's worth a try.
Having said that, the idea is awesome and I'm looking forward to this.
I donated a couple of stupid titles.
Steal it then
Anyways....I did some prototyping, and decided I would like to cover several genres, so it's not just a platformer generator, but a game generator. Also, this makes it easier to create some unique games, since I will be able to mix the genres freely, like having a platformer with RPG battles, or a RPG with 1-on-1 fighter battles.
For further planning, here's my genre list, arranged due to difficulty of making that:
Easy ones:-
Platformer - I did sth like that for Anti-assemblee (
here)
-
Shmup - the best ones seem random anyways, don't they?
Hard ones:-
RPG - the text generation is my concern
-
Strategy - i haven't even try to make one, ever
-
Adventure - i might just want to drop that idea
Medium ones:-
FPS - will be hard to mix with the others, but i did 3d procedural generation before, so i can give this a try
-
Fighter - it's an not-as-easy-as-it-seems one
I hope to get this partially working by the weekend (like, make it generate at least one genre).
And there's
LudumDare going on this weekend, so it would be a good idea to have people try out the generator, and get some feedback, while I'm working on something completely different (or cheat my way through ludumdare by generating a game for this
)
I'd use some genre suggestion as well, if you have anything that might be not-so-hard to generate on your mind.
