I’m way past due coming up with a name for my game. This is a plea for help. Please send me your name ideas: smart ones, dumb ones, puns, anything. I will treasure them all.

It’s a tactics game about collaboration: the good, bad, and potential evils of it. You form RPG parties and take them on mildly roguelike adventures.

A bit of Hearthstone, a bit of Final Fantasy Tactics, and maybe a sliver of Breath of the Wild.

Some clips from across many years of meandering development:

@jonikorpi I think you should come up with a name yourself, without other people's input, even if it's not perfect. Because it's less about the objective quality of the name, but more about the sense of personal ownership, which is the best part of indie gamedev. I mean, my game's name is literally randomly generated, but it's mine.

Sorry if this is not helpful 🙃

@vuntra_city I will! I’m just by nature awful at making connections between distant concepts, which naming seems to be about. Hoping seeing people’s completely random ideas might help with that. On my own I come up with the most literal and boring names possible.
