Yesterday i spent a few hours thinking of a game name. I started small with words and metaphors for space combat, first person shooters and space exploration in general. There was over 150 words that can be chopped and changed at any point. I also experimented with synonyms and antonyms that could have hidden meanings or better ways of saying "This is a space combat game".
Here is a list of the best names i could come up with using those 150+ words, & synonyms. Most of them are two word names, as it is easier to tie the two together than to meld them together.
All of the names more or less have a background concept in mind, and some just sound cool.

Outer Destruction

Shock Duel

Reprise Duty
Altercation Pursuit
Stolen Operation

Pursuit of Redemption
Embezzled Operation
Common Contest
Access Duty
Pocket Duel
I also put the cliche sounding ones in incase one or both of the words could be used elsewhere.
I have no real preference on the ones i like, as there is so many of them. If i had to have a preference, then Final Altercation, Blast Origin or Reprise Duty are the stand outs.
Have a look through that list and possibly pick your favourite if theres any. I can post the word list later on if needed, but its saved anyway.

It's a shame a lot of the words in here are trademarked and under copyright. The name of the game is something relevant to the plot most of the time; so we kind of need that first off.
ReplyDeleteThings like 'Dark Matter' are cool.
You're the first one to blog (aside Will) with labels. Thank you! Moderating each post is a pain :)
