Title: Naming my game (solved)
Post by: Pashers on Thu 10/01/2008 03:12:00
I have after a great deal of soul searching decided what my first game is going to be about.
This may sound strange, but the game is based around a man who plays to many adventure games. He has done this to such a degree that he now treats his life as such a game.

My problem is that i cannot think of a suitable name for my game. Any suggestions would be appreciated. ;D

This may sound strange, but the game is based around a man who plays to many adventure games. He has done this to such a degree that he now treats his life as such a game : THE ADVENTURE BEGINS

is that too long?

I also liked "Beneath a Real Sky" if your project is a serious one and not funny. I also like your idea for the concept :)

A couple ideas:
Mind Game
Lost in Reality
Idiot Who Thinks He's in a Game
The Adventurer
Adventure Head
Adventure Mind
Trapped in the Adventure
I, Game
iGame
I, Click
iClick
I Click
Me Clicky You
I'll Click You if You Click Me
I'll Show You My Mouse if You Show Me Yours
You Know You Want to Click Me
Click <--I actually like this one
Pixel World

Losing Grip

Alright, that's enough.

Yes (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=923), an entry of Radiant's for a MAGS competition.

No, I like I Have No Mouse And I Must Click better.
Title: Re: Naming my game
Post by: OneDollar on Sun 13/01/2008 20:17:55
How dare you disagree with me!

I Have No Mouse And I Must Click is also great, but with a title referencing something else you set yourself up for a game full of references and spoofs, rather than the in-depth examination of the human psyche, gritty commentary on obsession and sobering look at the effects of mental instability that I fully expect this game to be.

;D

After much consideration... and having slightly changed the storyline to my game, i decided that 'Under a Real Sky' seemed like the best name for my game. Thank you for all your help.

I find it works better as 'Beneath a Real Sky'.
Title: Re: Naming my game (solved)
Post by: monkey0506 on Fri 18/01/2008 06:55:51
Pashers, you may not be familiar with the title, but the reason the original suggestion was "Beneath a Real Sky" is due to the actual game "Beneath a Steel Sky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beneath_a_Steel_Sky)" or, as you might have heard it referenced, BASS.

For this reason the title "Beneath a Real Sky" would be a closer play upon the BASS title, though of course it is your game and you can name it as you see fit.

Personally I prefer the BARS title to the UARS one, but again, not my call. ;)
