SawQuart Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 After months of development on Project Ember, my game needs a name. Now that I have an artist (Kusy) and a stable build, I'm getting ready to start advertising it. Which name do you prefer? "Tribelands" or "Tribal Lands"? Please provide some reasoning below.

SawQuart Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 > Tribelands doesn't roll of the tongue. Tribal Lands.. it's okay.Meh, I think it rolls off the tongue better than Tribal Lands. Just my opinion though… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's closer to the 10 end, I might suggest something more like 'dominion of the tribes'. If it's closer to 1, tribal lands. Two words, sounds edgier than tribelands. I guess tribelands is more modern and cute, but tribal lands just sounds dope as duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, "Dominion" or "Dominating" doesn't have complete relevance in the game and sounds sorta out of place. My game is about a 7 on that scale (mostly just due to the graphics– otherwise it would be a 10). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone dislike the name?Oh god please don't. Just saying it sound's like a bad joke! XDI originally voted Tribal Lands, but now I'm becomming fond of Tribelands. Suits your game, and… well works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Comnena Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Actually I liked the name Project Ember as far as a project goes. Ember had a lot of symbolic meaning, being a small start of something, but also the fire connotation held symbolic meaning to the nature of the game (being that fire is the most fundamental aspect to human survival and development of civilization)."Tribal Lands" and "Tribelands" are both discriptive, but they are also fairly generic.

SawQuart Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 I have decided on _**Homestead**_. It gives a nice "Oregon Trail" feel and reminds me why I wanted a game like mine in the first place.The full name will be _**Homestead: Settle and Survive**_ to avoid legal conflicts with the company.

It's a synonym for land. I believe Canada was once called "the dominion of canada". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
