Neat Idea Generator, Very Useful – Genesis - World Building Review

This is a neat generator, useful for generating lots of cool ideas, anything from a “Light Golem” in the Fantasy Creatures generator, to the “Arrow of Agdia” in the Magical Artifacts generator, all the way to “Yellow Flu” for the Diseases generator, and more. Instead of merely generating different name ideas, this app goes much further in that it provides a form or template of sorts to include things like how old the generated item is, how a war idea/concept got started, what powers and abilities a creature could have, and major, minor and rare symptoms different created diseases could have. Each and every generator follows some kind of bio format for it, though often the results when combined together sound funny, don’t make sense or they just flat out contradict each other. Now, this may have been entirely intentional on the developers’ part, as you can just write down different results on note paper and mix and match different results until you get something you like. However, my only real complaint is that you cannot regenerate certain parts of the whole, you have to generate entirely new results each time until something ‘clicks’ for you in the idea department. Or you could just jot down various notes on paper as mentioned above. But that would be a feature I’d really like to see added at some point, if possible. Otherwise, it’s a neat tool for all kinds of creators, be you a book author, article writer for fantasy and science fiction topics, role player, or just want to play around with some fantastical ideas and whatnot for kicks, it pretty much delivers what it promises. I’d also wouldn’t mind a ‘Fantasy Plants’ generator included, though the ‘Alien Plants’ generator is similar enough. Also, a ‘Poison Generator’ would be cool too, especially for those assassins and other diabolical characters one might create in their game settings and stories. I would definitely DL those as well. But my first recommendation is by far the most wanted. Despite the fact all the add-ons can add up to a lot of money for some, it is great and provides terrific ideas and various project starters, if you don’t mind paying for the whole “set” in the end. I give this about four to four-and-a-half stars overall. Edit: I just recently realized that the entries are in fact, editable. However, you have to first save the overall generated result, go to your saved entries, then click on the fields you’d like to change or add additional information to, instead of generating different aspects beforehand and saving the “finished” result. You can also add new fields in your saved results. So I am changing my previous rating from 4 stars to 5 stars now. Thanks for an awesome generator app. :)
