Naming stuff is the bane of my existence. This thread will be super invaluable Tongue

Current project called: Dead Run, it's a zombie runner with baseball bats, shotguns and a sense of humor:
Forum thread: http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=39030.0

Can we put forward more than one game name at a time for "the doctors"? Smiley

I don't know, word like 'dragon', 'dark', 'dead' and some others are pretty saturated.. You get tired of hearing those words sometimes. The thing is what saves the name for me is the humorous side of the game, so it actually kinda gives it a ironic feeling Tongue

I named my game "Black Ice". It's a common cyberpunk term meaning lethal ICE - Intrusion Countermeasure Electronics.

I considered changing it, but I've already won the SEO battle for "Black Ice Game" on google and youtube, so I think it's good. Thoughts?

I hate the name I chose for my game but it's all I could make. "Apple and Worm: Patching Holes In Spacetime". Also, in this situation do I use "in" or "on"?

Patching Time Holes... but the Apple & Worm doesn't really reflect the game... I actually thought Newton would be a great name for the apple before I seen some screen capture of yours.

something like Newton : Gravity twists... or some other kind of gravity/physics related name could work quite well with the whole rotating world mechanic...

Well, there's an apple and there's a worm. They are the main characters.

What about naming them, like Tiny & Big?

There are few hundreds of apple varieties if you look for inspiration: http://www.orangepippin.com/apples ^^

Hey, naming them is a good idea! I'll look for inspiration on the scientific name for these things. Like Almata & Polmonella... Yeah, I have to think about this.

In. Spacetime is a 4-dimensional volume, not a surface, so 'in'.

My game is currently called PAPER, and it's about the ties between the dream world and the waking world. There's a bunch of narrative and you have to decide whether dreams or reality is more important.

The way I'm currently justifying this title in my head is because I plan to use paper (money, origami, newspaper, fragile/disposable quality) as a metaphor in different ways using its multiple formal/slang definitions. Also the whole game is hand drawn and scanned in.

I think that that name would be a b!tch to google, though I'm no expert. My amateur attempt: "Paper world" or "Paper story"?

Hey Guys, I've been working on a survival horror inspired by Cthulu themes.  I just jammed in a random name "House of the Shunned God", but I'm thinking about something shorter, e.g.:
- Unfathomable
- Mansion of Madness (similar to the board game)

http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=39267.0

Any suggestions on name changes and such?

Sounds similar to "Realm of the Mad God", which is hard to remember. I saw that game somewhere and for a long time could not remember its name.

Yeah that was a MMO HTML5 game - pretty simple but fun.

Me and a team have been working on a space shooter called Galactic Junk. We use to call it Space Junk but there were already games out there with that name. The premise behind the game is that you're a broken space ship and you have to travel around space using your blasters (physics) and collect pieces of "junk" which give you upgrades and such.
