How do you come up with a name?

[Dark-Land Productions]

I dont know Erwin, I dont want to use Alpha or Conspiracy, its a little passe, it sounds like a book which my grandad would start reading then give away to charity

[dragonrose]

Well, if you think the word "Alpha" is passe- which, frankly, it is- use another word.  How about "first" "primary" "original' or  "high?"

"Primary Conspiracy" sounds kind of nifty.  

[Dark-Land Productions]

it sounds like a childrens book though, and the other names are too...
Serious, we want the public to know our game is humourous moreso than stuff with Alpha or anything, I did compile a list of things important in the game but I cant think, if you can, here it is!


Aurora IX
Alpha
Council
Simon
Prokter
Joy
Enforcers
Operation
Resistance
Triniverse
C.H.A.S.M. (Criminal Holding Anchor for Speculative Malefactors)
Rebellion

There it goes, if you can thnk of anything, please say

FWIW, "Operation:Prokter" sounds at least as serious to me as the other suggestions. (I think Tom Clancy or something.) Same for most things you could construct with the words on your list. If you want it to be clear from the title that it's a funny game (which is not absolutely needed - the title isn't everything), there has to be something there that says so.

No, I don't have any good ideas, me.

I guess I dotn need it, I just want it to show the laid bakc attitude we at Dark-Land posess

[Fairygdmther]

How about:

Prokter's Predicament
Prokter's Peculiar Promise
Prokter's Promising Premise

Alpha Awful: Puny Prokter Promises Protection Pronto

FGM

[Trumgottist]

:rant: Hey! There's nothing wrong with IF, and it's still alive and well btw.

[hellomoto]

I'm in the process of making one.

Thats a bold move man, bold move.

[deadworm222]

Umm, no. Text adventures are popular among a minority group of enthusiasts. See here, for example.

You're starting to sound like a big publisher talking to the developer of a point and click adventure.

Enthusiast from minority group right here! Very good for playing on the mobile phone when I get a couple of spare minutes. Currently playing: Fine Tuned by Dennis Jertz. :great:  

[Dark-Land Productions]

Ok man, Text adventures can work, but arent we getting a little off topic here?, We still dont have a name.

[Dark-Land Productions]

Its Been a long time since I added anything to this post but I'm wondering whether I should Call it Operation Prokter OR Operation Prokter: the ______ in case of a sequel, what do you guys think?
