For some mid-competition fun, I’ve updated the Name Generator to include IFComp games up to 2020. The site generates new titles by taking the start and end parts of two random existing titles and mashing them together. If you choose a competition year, at least one of those parts is from that year’s comp game.

- Museum of Dogs
- Nothing But Desolation
- Dracula Episode 2: The Land Down Under (Is “Dracula goes to Australia” a B-movie that already exists? If not, it feels like it should be)

I got a couple of potential sequels for Hanon’s game:
- The Cursèd Pickle of Adventure: Holy Goat!
- Grandma of Shireton
Something that sounds more like a threat than a game:
- You Will Thank Me Where the Sun Don’t Shine
And a game about the last person you’d want defending you in court:
- Stoned Ape Attorney

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I’m just a stoned ape. I was captured by your scientists and later they got me really high. Your world frightens and confuses me…

I think that one’s actually about an idealistic young lawyer who defends gorillas accused of low-level drug crimes.
