Title of Next Project
Added 2019-03-09 01:53:02 +0000 UTCHey guys, so we've talked a bit about "Endgame" which is the next project Steamberry Studio will be focusing on.
Endgame has always been simply called Endgame but we are currently looking at how to rename this project to something a little more unique.
One of the issues we had with Changeling is that it wasn't very google-able. You can easily find the game if you google "Changeling Visual Novel" or "Changeling Otome" - but Changeling by itself simply pulls up folklore.
For Endgame, we wanted to make sure to pick a title that stands on its own a bit better and isn't common enough to make the game unsearchable.
The real issue is that it's always been Endgame so it's hard for me to think of the story in any other way. I've been going over various titles and came up with a few of them...that I'm unsure about.
I don't really like the "Word: More Words" format for for tiles, and would rather pick something that doesn't have to be shortened to an acronym but it's very difficult to pick a short name that is also unique and searchable.
Anyway, here are some of the current possibilities and we thought we'd toss them out to you and let you guys vote on your favorite. Note - the winner of this poll is not necessarily going to be the final title. This is just to see what you guys think in general! We may eventually come up with something way more catchy than any of these!
Endgame:Penumbra - The "penumbra" of a shadow is the part halfway between light and dark. This has relevance to the game because the planet is tidal locked and there is a "twilight" region between light and dark where some story related things take place. There is also a symbolic meaning here because the different factions in the story loosely align to "good" and "evil" - but in the end, all of them are in more of a gray/twilight area between good and evil rather than being one or the other.
Endgame: Shadow's Edge - Basically for the same reasoning as above. Except this sounds a bit edgier.
Endgame: Twilight's Domain - Again, same as the above two but using different words.
Endgame: The Queen's Advent - This one is referring to the fact that the MC is a "queen" ranked Esper who is discovered at the start of the story, which sets many plot elements in motions as queens are rare, and several factions would love to have her join them.
The Queen's Advent - We could take the "Endgame" off the front and just go with this
Other - Obviously, if you have other thoughts we'd love to hear them. Even if it's just a vague concept rather than specific wording. Title ideas with Alice in Wonderland references or chess references are definitely welcome.
They all kinda suck. Sorry! OnO - Explain your reasoning! XD
