Dreams Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 I know it's kinda sad that I'm so stupidly uncreative that I can't even think of a good name for teh game I'm making. That's just pretty bad. But, my original name, Firebirds, didn't actually have anything to do with my game. So please help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saadhamza Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 The name doesn't really matter, imo, until you've made a good game. Just look at all of the famous games there are right now, and come up with a general word or two that seems to match it. Like, WoW or Skyrim. Doesn't have to be too complicated, if the game is any good then people won't care one way or the other about the name. I fell into a trap with coming up with a name before, and it made me completely quite making the game because i got so fixated on a cool name. Don't let that happen.

DJMaxus Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I would try to avoid naming it something with "Online" in the title, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I do. Once you're far enough into the project a good name will come to you, rename the project to that. :PLike any good story, most authors don't name them until they're about half to mostly done.… Don't call it _x_ Online.

mrmiguu Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 @Dreams:> how do you know???I suppose I don't.My only guess is that an array of characters combined (keyword: **combined**) to form a word can equally combine with other fragmented words to form a series of words (a _string_ of words) to simulate meaning (e.g. a sentence).The keyword used there signals addition.

Robin Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Short, sweet, a bit cheesy and generally memorable. Oh, and with a spare .com name. The name will be taken seriously once the project is. Even a great name will be ruined by a shit game.I couldn't believe it when people started taking Crystalshire's name seriously. It's just generic fantasy shit mixed with my county's name. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffen Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 @Robin:> Never, ever put 'Online' in the title.That was the joke. I hate games that just take a normal word and put online at the end and say "ITS A GAME".You need to give more information on your game if you want a real name. Make it relate to the story, or the concept your game is based off of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 You don't need to do either of those things. You just want a single word which is memorable and unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
