I did enjoy the jam! Thanks for hosting it -- and thanks for your kind words.
To answer your question regarding the name pool:
- There are two sets of names in the game: "surnames" and "given_names".
- There are approximately 400 entries in each set, give or take. (I'll be adding more in a future update, because why not.)
- When snails are made, they have an equal chance of selecting a name from either pool, or having one from each (in a random order).
If you want to see all the possible names, download the .p8 file from the game page and open it in PICO-8. You can use the free Education Edition if you do not have or do not want to purchase PICO-8 (but I highly recommend it -- best $15 USD I ever spent).
