Beautiful art game set at a race track.
Awesomeness!
I’m glad to see you’re enjoying the generator, guys!
@Brendan – Good idea, if you figure out how to do that, let me know.
@Jimmy – I think you might be missing the point, a little bit. The generator doesn’t figure everything out for you; it’s a tool for sparking ideas in the hopes of pushing you through an idea you’re stuck on. It’s a means of forcing yourself to think about something new. It’s up to you to figure out the story behind your game.
Love it. Will be making sure my Experimental Interaction (for games) class sees this.
“magical, historical, RPG, set in a dungeon.”
It even generates tired, boring ideas as well as thought-provoking ones! It’s truly perfect!
I can’t resist this one more comment, I’m sorry. The generator just spit out the exact design brief for Tale of Tales’ “The Graveyard”:
“boring, black & white, sim game combined with art game, set in a cemetery.”
Be honest, was that just planted in there to come up occasionally? Or was it truly random? It’s too spooky.
@Pippin – Wow, that’s cool. You can look at the javascript; it’s completely random.
It’s bound to come up with game ideas that sound like other games occasionally, though, just by the nature of the words I chose.
