Hello all!

Please help me name my game.

In the game you play the same character over and over again. It is a RogueLITE space exploration game with procedurally generated locations (planets, countries, places of interest).

Each time you die (frequently) your character is cloned with a little more experience (or rather, genes acquired from the previous run) and can upgrade weapons and abilities.

You fight in space to control planet airspace, then you invade the planet and perform objectives like 'assassinate the leader' or 'find documents X' og 'destroy building' og 'explore cave to find X'.

There are a lot of different mechanics, like navigating a spaceship, driving a car, flying a fighter jet and a bomber, flying a rescue helicopter, driving a tank and a space buggy, running around as a marine etc - everything in glorious 2D (both top-down and sidescrolling view).

There are a lot of alien races with different units and different types of environment (lush, rocky, volcanic, ice...)

So that's the background, but I am really struggling to find a name that encompasses all of these things.

So then I turn to you, the eminent members of this fine forum... :-)

Beyond the stars

In general naming practice, I would focus on what makes the game the most unique, or what you think of specifically when you think of the game. Is it the character? Is it a place? Is it the cloning mechanic?

That would probably be the best first step. But short of that, here are some ideas off the top of my head!

• Gene Warrior
• AUGC (genetic code letters)
• Gene Agent
• Access Assured
• Starhoned
• Assemble
• Goneboy

Great suggestions so far, keep them coming!

I think what makes my game unique is the many different scenarios you get to play in the same game. It should allow for some pretty interresting storytelling.

Some of my own suggestions:

Access All Areas

Drive Run Fly Jump SHOOT!

Infinity and Beyond

(On a side note: I finally understand why the (great) movie GATTACA was named GATTACA now!)

It sounds quite like Starbound.

Although doubt I am in position as someone naming a game as "mostates" :) (as signature suggests) , I think you may start with a "tag cloud"

It has some similarities to Starbound but I started development of this game back in 2010... :-) And it is all in glorious 2D!

How about SciClone. Sounds like Cyclone.

So the best and the most trendy game of the decade is clash of clans, look for the tips and tricks of clash of clans builder here.

I was implying that you can use Star<whatever> as name convention :) , wasn't about context itself

How about these?

Supernova Reborn
Star Crossed (I'm sure that's a title already)
Never Ending Space Man

Just a few title madness for fun :)

Good luck on your game dude, skins like a great IP!
