Congrats for the awesome game! :D It's really fun — and I also had lots of fun watching the playthrough on Game Grumps. (where I originally found out about it).

One thing I wondered: do you have a random Knight name generator based on something like markov chains, or do you just have a very, very long list of knight names?

Also mad props on the visual effect of the lava heating up the rocks, it looks super realistic. Did you write a custom shader for that?

I also picked this up after seeing it on Game Grumps. The combination of the game looking pretty interesting and them being really bad at it convinced me to just pick it up and finish it myself.
Thanks!

Knight names are a mix of a list of names, and a random name generator that pulls from a pool of first names, surnames, titles, etc.

The lava heat on the rocks is indeed a custom shader, put together by our artist.
