New Game Title!

So out of all the submissions I got, I've decided to go with Reminiscence! However, as someone astutely pointed out, that makes the game sound very serious and doesn't quite allude to the sense of humor injected within the game. So, as a result, the title of the game will be Reminiscence: The WTF Saga! I feel that Reminiscence is really what the game is about, going back to how RPGs used to be and I feel it's a fitting title. And as for the WTF saga, well, use your imagination there (it's World That's Forgotten, you potty mouths...).

In other news, after about 5 days of feeling like one of those public restroom seat covers that was dropped on the ground near the toilet and stepped on by about 200 different people, I can finally get back on track with the game development. Stay tuned for more updates!

Naming contest!

Girlfriend: "You probably need a new title for your game. It's a really fun game, but the title is probably making people not want to try it. You should hold a naming contest!"

Well, it turns out after the Release Something! event, she was not the only one with this opinion. So now it's time for a help me name my game contest! I'm going to take suggestions via the topic comment function through the blog. Comments can be made anonymously, so there's no need to register. The winner will get an npc named after them in the game saying whatever lines of dialogue they wish (within reason, of course). The easiest thing to do is to choose a name for the game world as a whole, and make that the title (as the game world is still unnamed as well), but I'll leave it up to you to decide.

In progress related news, I've just started working on the third major dungeon in the game. Progress is coming along nicely, and it's always fun coming up with new puzzles. I should probably have it done within a week, so here's to hoping!

The contest will end at the end of the month (1 week!) on 09/30/09.
