for some reason back in 2017, I decided to make a website to make fake video game screenshots. This was a good idea and made a lot of people laugh.
Here's to the Death Generator, eight years and 270ish games later!
(The actual 8th year anniversary was yesterday, but I was too dead that day to remember to post about it)
Random Death Generator History fact:
The second game to be added was SimCity 2000, added a little under two months later on Dec 18, 2017.
It was called "Sierra Death Generator" at the beginning, despite the very second game added being a non-Sierra title.
In February of 2018 I called it "the increasingly inaccurately named 'Sierra Death Generator'"
You'd think that was when I dropped the "Sierra" from the name, oh no!
Even though I stopped calling it the Sierra Death Generator when I posted about it, the name on the page didn't change for two more years, finally getting changed on Jun 15th, 2020.
the death generator has had one development hiatus, for legal reasons:
for five days in June 2019, I wasn't allowed to update it because I'd signed an employment agreement that would have resulted in my employer owning it if I worked on it.
someone reminded me about the Death Generator's little sister, SorryPunk, the Cyberpunk 2077 apology generator:
https://sorrypunk.com
That came out in Dec 18, 2020 to meme on the blindingly yellow apology CD Porject Red made to their fans over that ill-received game.
I'd find the initial twitter post about it except they just banned me from searching, apparently? cowards.
Anyway, three questions:
1. What's your favorite death generator? I don't keep metrics (that my change in the next version), so I don't know what people use most.
I've joked before that I could have gotten 90% of the functionality of the death generator by just making two generators:
1. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (https://deathgenerator.com#sotn)
2. Mario 64 (https://deathgenerator.com#m64)
secondly, what games would you like to see in the death generator?
