Разработчики рассказали забавные истории о том, как они придумывали названия для своих игр

Game devs: How did you name your game? Was it difficult to decide, or did it just come to you? I'd love to hear game naming stories

Rock Band was a placeholder name that stuck.

ADR1FT came easily. It didn't really come together until I added the "1" though. It's very meaningful to the game. Lots of people hate it :)

DayZ : was short enough to be an easy mod folder name

Working title was "Too Many Cooks" but adult swim kind of torpedoed that one :-)

7th Guest was originally “Guest”. Justin Heber suggested 7th Guest and it took a while for me to like it.

80 Days was immediate and kept on giving - it was the reference point, the goal, the score, the scope, and sits up top in alphanumeric lists

ATVI marketings idea was Guitar Hero 80's Metal featuring Metallica. The band had final say - Guitar Hero Metallica it was.

Canabalt was what our 6 yr old nephew called catapults in Fat Princess: he was doing a lot of cannon balls at the pool too.

"Closure" was taken from "Understanding Comics" pic.twitter.com/c2OjzK2nAf

"Bombernauts" was @AsherVo misremembering the name of my prototype but his version sounded a lot better

Heat Signature was gonna be either that or Boarding Action. HS sounds cooler, BA is more relevant. No contest.

Random name generator fed with words I like, picked my favorite results.

“Where’s My Water?” was “Just Add Water” forever during dev but couldn’t get the trademark. Team had a hard time choosing the new name.

overland was like 6 months of indecisive hell and ultimately only selected because of the pun (end of the world = OVER-land)

— Adam 2017.1 (@ADAMATOMIC) 4 октября 2017 г.

(overland was about like 6ish inches away from being called A Hollow Road (even had the URL))

— Adam 2017.1 (@ADAMATOMIC) 4 октября 2017 г.

definitely jealous of “untitled goose game”

“Mini Metro” was the first name and obvious as the right one. Our new game is the opposite, ten months on it still has the placeholder name.

For Lamplight City I struggled FOREVER. I had so many dud titles and finally decided to make up a nickname for the city in the game. Voila!
