Crowey's Misc. Creations

Short Films & Videos

Magic Owl Media on Youtube. Once upon a time, we made a bunch of weird little movies. Rowanhood (30 min) the most recent. The Better Half (10 min) won a few film festival awards. Sandwichotron 3000: A Cut Above, a fake infomercial, was my favorite small project.

Namey

Generates a bunch of quasi-historically accurate names, plus some fantastical ones. It's amazing.

Quantum Scheherazade Story Generator (latest "stable" version)

A high-fallutin' database-driven narrative engine that tells you all sorts of stories with, frankly, very little censorship. If you're of a superstitious inclination, hell, you could even use it for bibliomancy, placing your fortune in the hands of the Law of Synchronicity and see what insights it will tell you about your current situation in life. If you want to up the existential stakes or whatever. You do you. (This project was in development for 5 years, but NPC Gen is the future for newer, matured efforts.)

Eudaemonia Character Generator (in development)

Generates a character. Tells their life story in pivotal events. Not great, honestly, but it's still in mediocre prototype phase.

Crowey's NPC Generator

Generates a D&D-esque NPC with loose backstory & context.

Which Zodiac Sign Should You Theoretically Be? (beta)

A quiz with a terrible interface and too many questions attempts to determine which astrological archetype you most significantly embody via self-reporting. It also has a crack at sizing up your Big 5/OCEAN personality tests stats, because why the hell not? There's no back button, so you better not mess up. Also, all it's going to tell you at the end is a series of labels, i.e. "Traditional" and "Taurus" outweigh "Openminded" and "Aquarius". But it won't elaborate on what that entails. So enjoy, you bastards.
Length: 5-65 minutes, depending on how many times you wander off for a bag of kale chips or start texting your friend about the newest season of your favorite legal procedural drama Speedo.

Kitty Catcher (works in Chrome/Brave but not Firefox)

You are a crazy cat lady. You must catch the cats. And yet, sometimes, the cat runs between your legs, or jumps over you. I'll be the first to tell you that there is no point to this, except exploration of Javascript collisions. Moreover, this now appears to be broken in most browsers, as of Feb 2021, except for my friend in Sweden, who is still playing it basically every day without fail, so...go ahead and have a go. Or don't. Maybe it's too close to reality anyway, for some of us.

Number Guesser 2.0

Guess the number. Be a hero.

Wordsmith

Generates a bunch of technically pronounceable words of varying lengths based on vowel-consonant pairings. Eventually will incorporate language rules to produce consistent-sounding words from made-up languages. Currently is predicated only by what is theoretically a sound a human mouth can make.

Original Music & Truly Bizarre Covers

Feast yer ears on the esoteric slacker jams of Croweykid Murder.
