What should I name my DM clone?

Post by Lord_BoNes »

For those that have been following my clone's progress, you'd know that I've been asking for suggestions regarding the title. I've decided to run a vote, to see what you guys (or gals) think.

I voted for "Dungeon Lord" because it was actually me who invented it - well, a half of it - and if this title wins and the game gets to the shops I'll get 10 % from each copy sold. I think. Or was it 20 %? Anyway, currently, "Dungeon Lord" has 100 % of votes so ATM it seems likely that I'll get very rich. :twisted:

Ah, but there's already a game called Dungeon Lord...as far as I can tell it's a bit of a Dungeon Keeper clone...

Dammit! But I really didn't know! How could I know? Honestly, I'm not joking this time. I just placed "Lord" instead of "Master" based on a Visual Thesaurus search (because other close words like Maestro, Chief, Superior, Principal etc. just weren't cool enough).

I think Lord Bones is going to kill me - or at least wound me seriously.

Sometimes I'm quite glad that Australia is on exactly the opposite side of the Earth and that the air tickets are so expensive. :)

*plus it's really Bones of Chaos, since that was my bit :P *
Was unable to (permenantly) kill off ian_scho (Haynuus), Ameena, oh_brother (Westian), money (Falkor), raixel (Petal) and Lord_Bones (Aurek) in the DM D&D game Time's Champions!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!

OK, you've got 1,5 % of sales plus one free ticket to a dance theatre in Uzhgorod, Ukraine a year.

I think you should just make the thing and worry about what to call it when you actually have something to release.

If it has great dungeon editor that doesn't involved any programming, you could call it "Big Fat Delirious Crutch Monkey" for all I care! ;-)

Thanx for the votes peoples. I've had some connectivity issues the last few days... could last well into next week :( I'm currently on a damn iPhone (man I hate typing on this thing!)

Looking at the votes... "Dungeon Lord: Bones of Chaos" is going to be the title. Thanx for the help. Now, I just have release something worth the effort :P

Glad you got there in the end. "Big Fat Delirious Crutch Monkey" might not have been appropriate, after all! ;-)

So, what's the ETA for this RTC beater? It took GG the best part of 8 years to get to v0.49.... not that I want to put you off or anything ;-)
