[Player 3]

So, we can't come up with a good name for this game we're working on! Any ideas?

Been kind of keeping an eye of it (elsewhere). "Fort Blade" is from the top of the head.

[RamSteelwood]

There are two teams. You either play as an overweight WW2 pilot in the survivor team or as a suicider disguised as a pot plant in the suicider team.

bush league
don't feed the plants
extreme gardener

I like: Extreme Gardener
thank you. However with the next update the theme will start to get a bit broader allowing mappers to use any prop they want. Lets say for example: office chairs vs. business men or cactus vs. cowboys/Mexicans (hello stereotypes). Thinking of it maybe a name with the word stereotype in it would work as well...

well I was about to suggest "Pot Gun" since it was just pilots vs plants, but that won't work now...

@tobib
some ideas/inspirations:
Tsukumogami
Revolt of things (there is an old videogame called

)
Mimicry complex (afaik in this context the attacking things should be dangerous things not humans, otherwise it is just camouflage)
When Chairs Attack!!!
Furniture frenzy

Thanks Chromanoid and RamSteelWood.

I also remember now that animated object were a common thing in old fairy tales. Funny

[RamSteelwood]

Ive been kinda holding out posting here till I hit a level where I was kinda solid on what I was making, its current name is Commando Bros, kinda started as a joke and just evolved I guess, im not really too happy with the name anymore but then ive never been good at naming stuff anyway.  

Anyway check out the video I guess, look forward to hearing some ideas on another alternate name  

Well I wasn't deliberately trying to get my name in this, but...

RamBros!

or
Pix and Zel: Warrior Twins

I actually really like Rambros, I should have mentioned, the game has a kind of over the top USA ALL THE WAY type vibe... http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=23799.0  That being said, I think Rambros is awesome, anyone else like it?

EDIT: RamBros it is.

[RamSteelwood]

 

Y'know, if you wanted to call the brothers Steel and Wood(y) in my honour, I really wouldn't mind!

Consider it done!

[RamSteelwood]

 

Well at least now I can say that I can put my name to a great game!

Two game names I'd like to submit for being rated.

The first one is currently in development. It is called a dream to fly. It's a top-down, 2D game that takes place in space. The player has somehow gotten into space with a jetpack and glass helmet. The goal is to rotate around stars and collect oxygen bubbles before you run out of breath.

The second one is a game I am currently planning and beginning to design. It is called Fauna and this is really the first time I've talked about it. It's about a boy (who I am currently calling Buk) who must save his girlfriend (Fauna) and the forest area they live in. A lot of the game deals with interaction with the forest and cavern animals (whether it be fighting them or saving them).

Hi guys

We will soon release this little guy to the world




What do you think of the name? "Harry the Fairy".

Cheers
Bo

What do you think of the name? "Harry the Fairy".

[Birdorf]

Harry the Fairy doesn't sit well with me I'm afraid, I think this is due to Frank Bruno(boxer) and Harry Carpenter(commentator). When being interviewed by Harry Carpenter, Frank Bruno's catchphrase was, "Ya know what I mean 'arry", nothing fairy about it. This is probably just an England thing, and the name will be fine for the rest of the world. (and normal people)

[RamSteelwood]

Hairy the Fairy?

For my university I have been working on a simple puzzle/platformer for 2 months now.  While this project will be due in 3 weeks I'm going to continue working on it after the semester is over and I finish the other projects of the semester. But I need some help on the name! (I'll post a devlog here after I get one)

I should start by an elevator pitch of the game idea:  You are electro-magnetically charged and you can push or pull yourself or objects around the game world.  Thats really the gist of it.  I should note I have no story written (although something fun would be awesome).  So far death is only caused by water (which fries you till you explode)

The working title is just "Magnetic" which obviously needs to go. I just needed one for my course requirements and I hadn't given it much thought.

Here's a few development videos which show the game's progress so you can get an idea of what I'm making.

Build 28:

Build 22 (Just after adding static magnets):


Also comes with an editor

So anyone got any clever names regarding the gameplay? I'm having a little writers block in that area.

[RamSteelwood]

Magnus Magnetsson in Opposites Attract.

[GiffE]

Magnus Magnetsson in Opposites Attract.

Magnus Magnetsson III (the 3rd) since his name sounds so fancy as it is, I mine as well go full blown aristocrat!
I was thinking of making some play on "Opposites Attract" actually, and coming up with some cutesy love theme/story for Magnus.  As simple as him, well to do aristocrat, chasing after some a Cinderella.
Definitely an improvement though, RamSteelwood, Thanks!

Those footstep noises really have to go. >_<

As do the buzzing noises.
