Addenum to What's in a Name?

Published July 30, 2008

I spent a bit of time searching through potential names. It's hard to find anything that hasn't been taken. Plus you get the impression that at least nine tenths of the internet are "under construction" pages or owned by domain parkers.

But I've managed to snag a good alternative web domain: zapgem.com. It's currently redirected to my blog at trazoi.net, but I'll think of something to do with it. I think Zap Gem has a bit more punch as a name and has a more game-y quality. Plus even if I don't use it as a company name it'd make an awesome casual game title.

Go the google/bebo/zimbra/kodak route. Choose a good-sounding nonsense word.

Is that the reasoning behind thecodezone.com? I suppose it would be nonsense enough if you pronounce it "Theco Dez One". [grin].

Do what I did and choose a concept that is both terrifying and intriguing. That's how I got my site name: UndeadCatgirls.com.

P.S. What am I doing here I left gamedev years ago D:
