incredible job! holy cabooses this was so beautiful. the names of the constellations were so creative and fun as well. i could see playing this as a way to wind down after a long. so visually stunning. can't say enough good things about it.

 i want to keep playing just to see all the ridiculous constellation names; favorite so far is 'steampunkish platypus'. how did you guys create the name generator? did you have a pre-created word bank? i'm not sure if i'm asking that correctly

Glad that you enjoyed it! As for the word bank, it was rather simple. Whenever one of the team had to wait for someone else to finish their job, we would start adding words to a Google Sheets list and then import that to our generator. Each constellation consists of a first name and a last name, and we wrote 164 of each, which means that there's 26,896 different possible names. Even better, there's a chance that, at the end of the name, the sky gets 2 first names, for a grand total of 4,410,944 possible skies!

Even better, the way we structured, neither first nor last name need to be solely of one word, so we tried to add some funny ones on the mix.

Playing with the generator just now, I got the I can't believe it's not Wooly Bunny Sky, Super Duper Best Buddy Clams Sky and 5-Stars Cute but Mean Vampire Sky. I could come up with these all day.

I hope that answered your question, and we're glad you enjoyed that bit of the game as much as we did! 🌌
