The title says it all. I can't think of any good names for my upcoming game!! How do you guys come up with good names for your projects?

fireball123 · 2009-12-08 20:21:21

I think about it, then it magically comes to me wink

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly how I come up with my names, just think outside the box, it will come to you smile

floatingmagictree · 2009-12-08 20:45:13

I do it with my brain.

I'm just that awesome.

CheeseMunchy · 2009-12-08 21:04:14

When I make the game the name pops into my head. smile

technoguyx · 2009-12-09 06:23:16

I think of stuff related to the game. Like on my recent game Round Madness. Balls are round, and the red, spiky ones are mad. big_smile

Let your imagination go wild.

I talk to 2 fans in my bed (not people) when I go to bed. XD
Hey, I get bored.

Advice: think of a really crazy name for a common enemy or boss and use the title for that. Does this sound familiar? It should--ever heard of Metroid?

The-Whiz · 2009-12-09 20:37:37

I don't.

I don't either, and that was my initial reaction, but I decided if I didn't give any advice I shouldn't be posting here.

... that's so weird. I just realized it now. I make a project, and the title is just THERE. No secret. You need the one thing that makes it right. It will come to you as you make more of the project ( a tip: the more you know what your project is ABOUT, the easier it is to make a title. This can be achieved by making more to the project, or brainstorming)

justtestingstickman · 2009-12-16 13:48:22

I don't.

aww someone already said it... ah well.

Actually, it's changed. I take whatever I say when this happens to me and use it as the title:

pikavee · 2009-12-16 14:41:51

Make a name thats a combination of two things in your game. For example my project which is about a carrot who shows you how silly fashion is is called CarrotFashion.

big-bang · 2009-12-16 14:57:26

Usually something just "clicks". I never have to concentrate to think of a name, and usually I come up with one while programming.

hmnwilson · 2009-12-16 16:03:56

I was about to say "I don't", then I noticed 2 other people did.

funkymonkey · 2009-12-16 16:36:11

what do you mean you don't? don't you name your projects?

No, by that we mean that we don't try to think of a good name. We just name it.

Chrischb · 2009-12-16 23:31:08

Just share your project and type in something. The name always "clicks". smile

MyRedNeptune · 2009-12-17 10:39:01

Make it sound commercial and common. Like the ones you hear in ads on tv. xP

People are used to hearing those sorts of names so they won't stop to think about what it means (like they would do if you made a really clever or unique-sounding name) and, if the thumbnail is good enough, will click on it almost automatically... ^^

Heh, brainwashing. xD

good idea big_smile

I get out the atlas, and go to a random place, and put my finger on a random spot on the page. Oh, wait, that's how I get names for places in the games.

Anyway, I usually name it what it is.
