Field notes
What these are for
A generator is a way to get unstuck, not a way to be told what to make. Take the one that made you react and change it. If you want to build the game as well as name it, Flockbay is free on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, on Windows today: you say what the game should do, your own Claude or ChatGPT writes the code, and it runs on the official Godot release inside the app.
