… is not the real name of this game.
So today I went to see the person who is now my lawyer to discuss several things, including getting the real name for the game codenamed “Project Vega” trademarked so it can be shared with the world. The real name for the game up until a couple hours ago had been “Strike”. I really liked that name – it was short, simple, descriptive, sounded cool, and had some interesting properties to it (Strike 2? Strike 3? Hah! Get it?!?!). However, certain other games already have a claim to that name, so it just plain wasn’t going to work. Hell, even throwing something before “Strike” (ex. Counter-strike… oh boy, aren’t I funny) was going to be a long shot.
As a result, I’m going to have to come up with something else. I’ll be doing a lot of brainstorming over the next few days to try to find something that both sounds cool, and is defensible. Did I mention I’m doing all of the mapping and programming? Yeah, that too. It’s going to be a busy couple of weeks, but I’m up for it! Thankfully everything is going well, even if it is a big work load.
Damn man, tough strike (No pun intended)
Besides, it sounds close to “strife” anyways.
If I get any time, i’ll come up with names for ya.
That sucks, but I had a feeling that this would end up being the case. “Strike” is a bit too…I wouldn’t say overused, but maybe too generic. And, as you already mentioned, there’d be a shitstorm of copyright infringement from other, similarly named games
Thankfully the English language is pretty vast! Or hell, you could even dip into another language if you needed to :lol:. I’m sure you’ll be able to come up with something. Try to make it simple and to-the-point, but also unique. I’m always fiddling with names too, so hit me up if you want some inspiration
Just don’t name it Edge Strike.
