Think this is a good contender for best But not sure it beats no no.

Nice philosophy/disclaimer. I still advise that heavy-ish consideration is taken when one gets feedback on their game name.


I have a name I'm considering. A roguelike RPG (not traditional though, imagine Darkest Dungeon mixed with final fantasy 1 ) with a similar art direction to REM Pyscho (haven't started working on it at all) called Madrun.
These are other names I got (suggestions open) I just mixed and matched names from a name gen...

- Dungeon Hotpot
- Occasional Quest (too long I think)
- Dead vitality (too actiony)
- Madcrawl
- Vitality RPG

Words I thought to use:
omen, run, assault, tale

[Dubsk]

I quite like Hotpot Dungeon   

[Gunroar:Cannon()]

Dungeon Hotpot or Hotpot Dungeon?

Hotpot Dungeon for sure. Or Hopscotch Dungeon if you're making Crypt of the Necrodancer.

I might have an idea for a ninja game where you play as a ninja gal shooting lightning balls out of her sword (at zombies). Names I'm considering:

* Electric Ninja
* Ninja Asset
* Zombies Gone

[Gunroar:Cannon()]

Okay 

.Electric Ninja is too generic, no?
Zombies gone sounds too cool, like a hardcore shooter, but it makes the most sense.
I like Ninja Asset but it doesn't really make that much sense. Though it's unique... and I like it.

Maybe you could also try a "Purple cow" name (e.g. Little Big Planet, 1000 dumb ways to die, etc) like ....uhmm..."Zombie shocked Ninja Party", or "A ninja shocks zombies to death" Just as ideas. Heheh. Those I gave were pretty cheese.

Maybe also hmmm... "Zombie shock"

I like all the titles. Something that evokes a sexy ninja killing the undead in as few words as possible would be ideal. Maybe "Tits-Up" would be too on-the-nose. I would avoid anything that sounds family-friendly.

[Gunroar:Cannon()]

Zombie XXX? Xombie XXX.
Strip Slash Stain?
Zombie Balls?
Non shocks?.
Katana Zero... oh...wait.

Thanks! I think I'll go with Xombie ShoX!

[Gunroar:Cannon()]

All in a day's work

Thanks! I think I'll go with Xombie ShoX!

Nice

Despite being nearly in beta-testing I'm not satisfied with my game's name. It's a Victorian era murder mystery where the ghost of the deceased is the main (non-playable) character.

Possible titles I've considered:

- Remembering My Murder
- The Girl Who Couldn't Remember How She Died
- My Murdered Girlfriend

The name I like best there is "Remembering My Murder" though not by much.

How about without much context ... *breathes in*

- Girl girl dead
- Murder girl
- Corpse walk
- Blood Mansion  -- (depends on setting)up
- Blood red murder
- Blood red ghost
- Past girl
- Girl blood
- The girl who died
- The girl on death
- Death meaning
- Girl X Death
- Girl dead redemption
- Girl of war
- Girl corpse
- Corpse Mansion
- Corpse road
- Ghost corpse
- Murder ghost
- Dead end murder
- Killed she
- Spy X Girl
- Hunter x Girl
- Girl Dash: The adventures of girl power and murder
- Attack on Titan Girl
- Girl die world
- Dead girl world
- flowerthief girl power
- Blood red road
- Murder mystery
- Ghost Blood
- Ghost Blood storiesstories

...
*breathes out*

Those aren't much better but they might spark ... errr...something.

[flowerthief]

Thanks for trying, and I don't mean that sarcastically! One of those might have potentially sparked something.... Absent a better name, I guess "Remembering My Murder" is still the best of the lot, even though it isn't all that great. I like the title encapsulating the idea that the victim is still actively involved in the mystery of her own death, otherwise it's like any generic murder mystery.

Other context that might help maybe?? Major spoilers here but it can't be helped.

The victim was a spirit medium in life and also sort of in death; this is the reason she can communicate with the player who is living.

As a spirit herself she is able to travel to locations around the world instantaneously and show the player what she sees.

There is a reason she cannot remember the details of her death that is revealed late in the story. (she was not "conscious" for all of it)

The game system is built around communicating with the AI via parser in natural English. Actually, this is the most unique thing about it. (very few story-driven games have AI you can chat with)

There are elements of romance in the story. (it's sort of possible to romance her)

There are elements of horror in the story. (specifically, demonic possession)

The Jack the Ripper/Whitechapel murders plays a role in the story.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (wrote Sherlock Holmes) plays a role in the story.

She looks like this:

Yes, I was hoping to speak some ideas.
Remembering My Murder is still good though, sounds like an interesting game. You really have that text parser done?

Some more names...hmmm:

> White Girl Death (no XD)
> Murdered Ghost
> Actually remembering my murder does sound pretty good
> That wasn't a name, just had that thought as I wrote this
> Dead revenge
> That time I got Murdered
> Ghost Murder...

...

err...that's what I got for now

[flowerthief]

"That Time I Got Murdered" isn't bad at all! I'm tempted to use it. If the game fell only slightly more on the comedic side....

The text parser will never truly be done; the range of inputs a player could possibly type is infinite and I can't anticipate them all. But by continuing improvements I hope to make it the strongest parser you can find in any game with set narrative. I think it might already be.

So my game's name is Into Samomor.
Can you guys rate that for me? It has a very depressing hidden message.

[Gunroar:Cannon()]

The name doesn't tell me a lot about the game though it's not outright bad. Like Into Samomor ... is Samomor the name of a place? I guess it's fine , though it doesn't really convey horror to well and better could be done.

Also, is it this game

If not then you probably need to change the name,
if so then, cool looking game, though it's kind of too late to change the name, no?

I'm on the fence for a name about a dungeon crawler/traditional roguelike game.

I have:
 
Madcrawl
Boneyard Crusade
AntiCrawl
Dunghack
Dungcrawl
Combustion Dungeon
Doomrooms

Which one do you think is the best/do you have any ideas do a better name?

[spacebee]

Game name = Space Battle Royale
