Surface

A game where you try to reach the surface world from underground

The word is too common for good googling, and there's a game called Surface: Mystery of Another World (plus the Microsoft surface mentioned above). It also isn't very descriptive.

Above & Beyond
Orpheus Ascending

I don't have a name but I need a name, a grungy space exploration game where you can program computers and build stuff with stuff you find which is also in ASCII grafics

Isn't this Notch's 0x10^c?

Totally not

My game is about a renegade sorcerer who's trying to escape after being sealed away for the good of the kingdom. It's a single player turn based rpg in the style of Wizardry that takes place inside a magical book! I've been calling it Paper Sorcerer, what do you guys think?

K. Hmm... Maybe give more info. Who is the main character, what is the story or setting?

Are you playing a villain, or just a misunderstood wizard?

Something with "Bound" could work – books are bound, and prisoners are bound. Or "Bind", it's related... The Unbinding of _Wizard's Name_.

The Unbinding of Isaac! :D

or Magic Unbound

I wanted to get some feedback on a name for a game I'm working on. Basically it's a dungeon delving style platformer with lite RPG elements and a static health bar that doesn't really grow past 100, but can be augmented up to 200 with vitality and/or items (Similar to Demon's Souls I guess). Stamina will be used for blocking and attacks, and the fighting style will be somewhat like the sword fighting in prince of persia, only not all of the monsters are going to be human and some won't even be humanoid. The basic premise is that of some kind of holy knight or paladin who delves into the depths of hell or a hell-like place. The graphics will be somewhat minimalist, as an example:



The names I have been going back and forth between are "Into the Deep Blue Sea of Flames: Holy Diver" or alternately "Holy Diver: Into the Deep Blue Sea of Flames".

Yes, before anyone asks, the name idea was inspired from the Dio song, but is unrelated to the song's theme.

Again, just want feedback on the name. The rest of that info is just so one can see how the name will relate to the gameplay and graphics. All graphics are original but definitely not finalized.

Unless there's an actual ocean, or this hellish place is very similar in appearance to an ocean, I would drop all references to diving and blue water. "Sea of Flames" is strong as an element in the name though.

I intend to make it seem cold and watery with ice and blue flame, sort of the opposite of the common conception of hell. More like a frozen, dilapidated atlantis full of demons and such. Sounds stupid but maybe I'll get some actual mock ups that fit the scene instead of these old ones Thanks a lot for the name feedback, much appreciated.

Frostburn <something> or <something> Frostburn maybe?

I'm getting such awesome images from this.

No ideas for a title though... "Holy Diver: Into the Deep Blue Sea of Flames" isn't bad, but a bit too long perhaps.

Call it Niflheim.
And of course the paladin has to be a soul of a brave Viking warrior.

A class-based top-down shooter with fantasy elements.

[Medevenx]

Googled "list of cool words" and picked one at random.
I'm not kidding.

Great thread ! I have tons of ideas for my game's name, but I can't choose.

It's a text-based, randomly-generated adventure game. First of all, I want to make something with the word "Quest", because all the classics from the '80s used it. (King's Quest, Space Quest, Quest for Glory, etc...)

I came up with Quest², the intended meaning being that adventure games take a new dimension, or something like that, but it just looks weird. I don't want any special characters in the title. So I came up with Fortuna's Quest, based on the roman goddess of luck and randomness... but it reminds me more of fortune in terms of wealth, so... not good.

The current working title is Alea's Quest, even though it doesn't mean anything because Alea is neither a goddess in real life, or in-game, but that's the best title I could find...

Help me out here guys
