What name references have you slipped into your hack/fangame?

The name/character references in my L’arrangement submission:

  • Trennam is a blue Druid who joins with horrendous stats, but has the ability to get extra turns from playing Blackjack. His statline is an exact copy of the statlines of the bugged normal mode Luna druids in River of Regrets (who have just the Druid class bases and are thus pathetic), so I made his name an anagram of “Remnant” (which is the faction name of the generic enemies in River of Regrets).
  • Since Trennam’s abilities were based on Blackjack, I decided to make the chapter boss be Jack Black. This in turn caused the chapter to be themed around the number 8, as a reference to Jack Black Octagon YTPs.
  • The above is also why Elmo is a subboss. I was originally going to make him stop time with [ELMO’S WORLD], but scrapped that because I was running low on dev time.
  • The other subboss is Jill, a wight. Jack-Jill, black-wight, you get it.
  • Weezer is there because the premise of the map is that an 8 cult is trying to keep you in chapter 8 forever and I felt that the lyrics to Numbers fit that (“Numbers are out to get you”).
