This is what you must call me from now on. 10/10 no notes. You have something around 4.84e13 combinations, though you probably need to calculate permutations since choices matter. Plus the generator probably has even more combinations than that. All that to say, very customizable, very bleak, very great game.

Lmao no shot you calculate this each time xD.

Upper bound for name generator is like… 1 letter from the alphabet the first choice, then 1, 2 or 3 (ordered) letters from the alphabet each subsequent choice. The last choice has just +1 option for skipping. BUT it’s not like that since uuuuuuuu is not a valid name for instance lol. So… Yeah can’t say what the upper bound is.

But it’s probably a way smaller number just for the choices in the scenarios. Roughly 2^8 * 10 choose 8 I think, as scenario order does not really matter. It kinda does since you can lose, but assuming you survive, it doesn’t, as they don’t affect what appears down the line.

So I’d say:

  • 4 (from background choice)
  • 8 choose 4 (origin choice)
  • 12 choose 8 (scenarios)
  • 3^5 (name, let’s just say it’s s lower bound of 3 choices per)

= 78.382.080

The upper bound for name generator is somewhere around 1.4e14 … I think (up to 10 letters long, so 26^10)

Lol I'm trying to. With some games like the ones you draw yourself, kind of infinite choices, so trying to limit it to what I can actually count.

Though, might be doing my math wrong because the number you got is smaller than what I got. It's my first time trying combinations tbh. Oh well, all for fun anyway.

I think it’s a fun exercise! I gave it some more thought and I think it’s actually even smaller, since what choices you’re presented with is actually not important. Only the possible choices, so the origin choice is only ×8, not ×(8 choose 4).

Yes so only 3.849.120
