I haven't been succeeding with these game jams (picked something way too complicated for NaGaCreMo), so the only thing to do is start another one! I think it's time for another random game jam. Who is with me? I have made a list of randomly generated names below.

Why random names? Starting with only a strange name is a creative challenge to go outside your comfort zone and follow those crazy ideas you wouldn't normally use or know how to work into a "proper" game.

We had some great entries last time and I hope we can match it and make even weirder games.


Here is the name list:

Obsessive-Compulsive Deer Hunter
Insane Alligator Trainer
Fabulous Frog Fest
Narcoleptic Viking Melee
Street Bobsled Palace
The Infernal Tricycle in Busytown
Magical Dance of Mystery
The Glory of Hang Glider Basketball
A Boy and His Monkey
Impossible Alien Restaurant
Underground Insect Heroes
Scottish Robot B*st*rds - (in development by Blobby101)
The Mind-Bending Whale
Dirty Vigilante Showdown - (in development by BMacZero)
Chinese Elevator Agent - (in development by The Zoq2)
Haunted Chicken Kid
Math in the Hood

Don't fancy any of those? Generate more at: http://videogamena.me/

There's a chance that two people will want to use the same name, which is fine, it will be interesting to see different interpretations, if this happens then please can the second person to choose the name call their game "[the game name] 2", this will help distinguish between them and I just think it's a funny idea to pretend it's a franchise.

I submit my entry, "The Most Pointless Game Ever Chronicles I: The 1D Platformer". I believe I uploaded my 1D game to this site aeons ago as a joke in another thread. Will look for link or try to upload later, bandwidth permitting.

I really liked the last rand jam so I will try to get something done for this, one more project can't hurt, right?

Gefunden! Here's my entry, "The Most Pointless Game Ever Chronicles I: The 1D Platformer":
https://forumfiles.thegamecreators.com/download/2349827

It's. a 1D game so you cannot see your character or the enemies. You must rely on your hearing. I don't recall the controls but, iirc, spacebar is fire. The graphics are just so really very...

Last time I did a game based on videogamena.me it was a lot of fun . I made "Helicopter Matador of Death".

If I attempt to do this despite everything else I have to do, I have a pretty good idea for "Dirty Vigilante Showdown"...

Some other gems:
Satan's Farm Operatives
Dwarven Spork Tournament
Madden Caveman Stadium

I have to try "The Glory of Hang Glider Basketball", it's such a good name!
I'm struggling to think of how to do it though.

@NonZero: Is that a game you have already made? Not really the spirit of this.

Castle of the Ghost Inspector sounds like it could be a game.

Or Hindu Dwarf - The Card Game...*shrugs*
Transvestite Farm Romp? Maybe not for a family orientated forum.
Battlefield: Buddhist Vengeance
Pro Duck Slayer
The Care Bears' Death Dreamland
Samurai Bobsled of Death - you know, make it Winter Olympics themed. I quite like this idea.
And er...Nudist Chocobo 3000 0__0

Yah, that would be a joke! Didn't expect someone to take it seriously, thought I was clear about it in my post. Sorry if that lacked clarity. Anyway I uploaded it ages ago and I occasionally post a link to it in game-creation threads. It's all in good lulz.

I have dropped The Glory of Hang Glider Basketball.
I just can't think of how to make it work.

That name suddenly very much reminds me of this game.

I bet you could make absolutely any name into an FF-style RPG.
