User Selectable Random Names?
« on: October 20, 2009, 16:11 »
Hi, first post, but I've been enjoying DoomRL for awhile now.  I'm starting to have a hard time coming up with clever names after a few hundred games but I don't want to use the same name everytime... I thought it might be neat if the doomrl.ini had an editable list of first and last names and would pair them together randomly.
 
It would be lots of fun and I could tell my PCs apart in the graveyard when I'm banging my head against the AoB wall.

If you just press enter without typing anything, DoomRL will select a name for you (from a dozen or so)

Yeah, random id softerware engineers are okay I guess but i'd love custom random names.  I suppose I'll have to donate ;)

Sorry this is off topic, but aren't only a couple of them id employees, and others are some guys from TIGSource that helped Kornel out?

Cause I know about Derek Yu from his game Spelunky, but that's about it.

You should try Eternal Daughter. Just as hard as Spelunky (maybe a bit easier) but still just as fun.
