so this isn't a game, but I was thinking I needed to start a site for posting up the bizarre experiment games I make and also maybe a few rants. I was going to possible use my name, or something like Game Experiments, Game Lab. Something like that. Any comments?

Game Experiments/Lab sounds too generic, imo--I know of an organization or two that already use those names in some capacity. I think using your name is best if you're looking to make it a sort of personal blog.

-----------------

But hey I'VE GOT NAMIN' PROBLEMS TOO.
I did a blog post at length bout it here: http://dumbandfat.com/title-needed-for-pollushot-sequel/
Basically I'm making a game sequel and am looking for a new name. It's a touch screen game, a sort of shmup where you control a slingshot. Pull-aim-release to launch ammo, break enemies into little bits, catch the bits and use them for your next shot. The original game was called Pollushot. I want something better for this. Whoever names the game goes in the credits.

Any ideas?

Chomp is an ugly name.

"TrapThem", what you think of that. I think it will burn into heads.

Eh, Chomp is the name of the game's main character, which I made up a while ago, so I'm already attached to the name. TrapThem doesn't really sound like a character name though.

I'm considering starting an RPG game, but I'm not sure what I should title it. Here's the titles I'm considering so far. Also, yes. The main plot point is the main characters visiting another planet (for reasons I will not spoil in case I decide to start it...):

Chomp RPG: War Between Worlds
Chomp RPG: A Tale of Two Planets
Chomp RPG: Chomp's Vacation

Why would you put "RPG" in the title? I just don't understand the impulse some here have to put the genre or style (e.g. voxel, pixel, 8-bit, etc) in the title of the game.

Well, I personally thought it sounded better than the other names, Chomp Saga and Chomp's Adventure. Do you have a better suggestion for the name (because I would love to hear it!)?

[J-Snake]

"TrapThem" is the name to evaluate for my upcoming game.
(you gave me a good laugh for mistaking that,btw)

There is a guy on youtube called "ChampChong" with nearly 300.000 subscribers, so name isn't the problem. Chomp is not far away, as for relief.

I think with "chomp's adventure" you cannot go wrong.

I would totally avoid all these combos:

Chomp RPG: War Between Worlds
Chomp RPG: A Tale of Two Planets
Chomp RPG: Chomp's Vacation

As a rule of thumb, a serious rpg doesn't label itself.

p.s. I personally think just solely "A Tale of Two Planets" is interesting. It evokes some expectations in me. "War between worlds" would be my least favorite. You hear that "generic" stuff all the time.

Lol, okay, and thanks for the criticism. It depends, for a sort of minigame as a part of a larger game or a game jam thing, it would work well, but I don't see "TrapThem" as being the name of a longer game. Also, if you really think "Chomp's Adventure" would be a better name, I'll consider changing it, its just that when I hear "Adventure" in a game's title, I usually think this. Also, if you don't like any of the above subtitles for the game, do you mind suggesting a better one?

[Banov]

Agree that "Tale of Two Planets" is the best option named thus far for your RPG. "TrapThem" Sounds good to me, too, maybe. It might seem even more interesting to give it some space, like, "Trap Them!"

BUT HEY uh you guys should still be thinkin about me

I added p.s. in my last post, mentioning that just solely "A Tale of Two Planets" sounds interesting to me, may be because I don't hear it too often.

Hello there, this is an action platform game in a twisted version of our modern world: Irrational buildings, horse-head man and traffic-light-cockroaches firing bullets.

The names we were considering are:
- Urbos ex pest
- Sorrow of the demon
- Akranios
- Anatopia
- Coba

Your main character has a really strong design, is the beak mask inspired by plague doctor's masks? As for your titles...

- Urbos ex pest (This one pops out the most for me. Does it mean anything?)
- Sorrow of the demon (This seems to fit the aesthetic of your game. It's not bad but it's not great either)
-Akranios and Anatopia (I really don't like either of these titles. They're both really forgettable.)
- Coba (this feels tribal, is that a good description for your game?)

Free associating off of what you've got presented, here are some alliterating names.

Maijin Melancholy

Demonic Depression

Oni's Onus

Warbled World

Opium Onset

Kooky Cool's Quacky Cataclysm

[pankee]

Anyone got any idea about the game I talked about a month ago?

It's a mix of Metroidvania/Roguelike. It's in 2D, and it takes place in a not-so-serious environment, in which the players will have to fight some weird monsters and badass bosses.
Yeah.

Anyway, the game we currently have is "Castloid".
We figured it's not bad, but I think some people on the Internet (Damn you, random people of the Internet) call the Metroidvania kind of games "Castloid" as well.
What do you guys think? (Oh, and if you look on Google, you'll probably stumble upon a "Project Castloid", that's us.)

A disaster has occurred on the cursed remote island where your laboratory is located, and synthetic lifeforms and artificial intelligence are running rampant under the influence of a supernatural power. You play as Vera, a determined biochemist armed with an arsenal of property-altering pills and potions. It is your job to contain the outbreak and vanquish the island's evil indigenous spirits.

Possible names?
-Slime Lab (working title)
-Vial Curse
-Vial Island
-Vera Evil

Genericoid

(Seriously, you've given us nothing to work with but the genre.)

How about rating company game names ?

I was thinking of wrideo games?

How would you rate that?

[ink.inc]

it looks like a typo

[impulse9]

Possible names?
-Vial Curse
-Vial Island

These two sound best in my opinion.

To be rated please:
Noomix is a 3rd person puzzle shooter with a strong focus on individual gameplay for Windows, Mac, Linux and Browser.

Gordo the apetronaut is crash-landed on the fascinating planet of the Noomies. His spacesuit allows him to merge with those little witty creatures and use their powerful abilities. Gordo has to use those powers wisely in order to leave for home again!

[DDR]

Noomix is a decent name, except that it's pronounced like 'new mix' and that won't get me to the game from google. Somewhat alleviated by that anyone telling anyone else about it will probably mention the spelling, though.


My latest game is called Cube Trains. I can think of a few problems with the name, foremost of which is that it doesn't feature cubes, strictly speaking. It was named before the graphics were finalized, and I liked it.

[Sergi]

What about "TRAAAAINS!"?

Isotrains

Isotrains? Is Computer Simulation of Trains already taken? How about Digital Trains, or RGB Trains, or Trains On Your Screen, or Pretend To Play With Trains?

Noomix is a good name; keep it, but call the noomies "nooms" instead, I say.
