#godot #namegenerator
After sitting on it for a while, I've finally released my name generator class. I put this together because I wanted to generate lots of names for a world-sim style game, and needed a set big enough that wouldn't feel repetitive. I then expanded it to be able to generate names for more than just people, and be able to use multiple patterns to call various sets of words. It ended up with over 30,000 total words available, most of which are human names.
And eventually I got this. I've added an option to expand it from other code if you don't want to edit the base class itself, though you're free to since its public domain via CC0 license. Its a single file for a static class, so you can just drop it into your Godot 4.x project and start using it right away. See the main page for instructions and documentation on what's available.
I hope this is useful to someone else.
