Titles Tantrum
Thinking of a good title for your game is not easy. We struggled a bit with a good name for our game.
When that happens, it's a good idea to get a few friends together and throw ideas around. Even the
silliest name might jog someone else to think of a good one, so put them all on the paper.
We were trying for a title that was nice to say, easy to remember, and at least hinted at the
story and the style of the game. First, we tried to think of keywords that might spark some good
ideas, and then we started suggesting titles. Brainstorming like this is great fun. The only rule is
that no idea is too stupid.
Here are some of the keywords and silly names we managed to come up with. Maybe you can
tell that alliteration is one of our favorite approaches.
Keywords
Platform, Pirates, Jumping, Skeletons, Treasure, Silhouette, Contour, Cut out, Parrot, Sail,
Bandits, Profile, Relief, Ship, Schooner, Port, Starboard
