DogEnerate- Dog Name Generator

DogEnerate- A Dog Name Generator

A silly name generator, designed to choose from hundreds of new words and mash together something special for your dog! With some extra little features added just for fun, this project can be downloaded to your device and opened whenever you need a name for a canine creature, or just want to see what names you can get.

If you've seen my cat name generator, ConCatEnate, (https://jessica-azalea-games.itch.io/concatenate) then you'll probably see that this has the same functionality as its feline counterpart! But this generator has a number of new word categories with hundreds of words not featured in ConCatEnate- so there's still plenty of new combinations for any pet or otherwise!

Usage: You can use the names generated by this for whatever you want! But please do not redistribute this software, the assets of this software, or the backing track.

How Many Names Are There? DogEnerate has 462 different words in its database- not that many, but it adds up pretty fast, since it's possible to have names with 1, 2 or 3 words in a name, that gives us 98,825,034 different combinations!

But that's not the only element of each name- it's possible to have titles (such as princess, duke or colonel), and numbers at the end of each name! If we're looking for the total amount of strings that can be output by this generator, including different titles, then we need to include the 28 titles and 34 numbers- plus one for each for a lack of a title or number. If we include these, we get a grand total of 100,307,409,510 names!

Music: The backing track (Bubble and Thorn - Dog Version) was composed by me,  JuniperWednesday, using Ableton Live. You can listen to it on my soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/juniperwednesday/bubble-and-thorn-dog-version

This project was coded by JuniperWednesday using GameMaker.

I hope you enjoy using this random name generator!
