The game needs a name!

action9000 · **on:** June 19, 2008, 03:57:55 AM

So, we have this cool 3d multiplayer LBT game....what do we call it?
Multiplayer, huge world, lots of cool stuff to explore...

I'm thinking...
The World Before Time.

or perhaps, on the title screen:

The Land Before Time
The World Before Time
with the two lines.

Does anyone have any ideas for a name for a 3d adventure-RPG LBT game, designed for a multiplayer environment?

maybe something with 'valley' included.. or 'dinosaur' or just something reaaly uncreative like 'lbt game from gof' xD I'm no good at thinking of names.

I think the title should definitely include "The land before time". It could be followed by a subtitle... referring to the fact that the movie characters will be NPCs we could call it "The land before time - The life of the others"

How do you like that one: The Adventures In The Land Before Time? :huh:

Through the eyes of others

(like through the eyes of a spiketail)

There is also some strange variants, likeThe Land Before Time: Behind The Scenes.

How about something like:
The Land Before Time, Adventures In The Valley

We need to remember that the game will, ideally, extend far beyond the Great Valley, into the Mysterious Beyond.

I don't think we want a name that suggests our entire final game will take place in the valley.

True, though at the start maybe it should, till things are polished and the other areas have had time to be coded in, alpha and beta tested, the code polished and such before being added in.

So far we don't have one central plot of the game and I guess it is more likely that there will be many small and some somewhat larger plots but not a single one that makes up for the entire game (I may be wrong about that one of course). Therefore the name would have to be something general.

The land before time - Adventures not yet told
The land before time - The untold stories
The land before time - The unsung Dinos

)

Having the mysterious beyond in the title is like having the great valley in the title, some would think it takes place only there.

F-14 Ace · **Reply #13 on:** June 19, 2008, 10:33:52 PM

how about Land Before Time Adventures? I once did a comic book called that years ago when I was in 3rd grade. I wish I still had it.

What's wrong with just "The Land Before Time Online"? Most RPGs based on a preexisting franchise are named like this, usually since it increases changes of Google hits. If we want something snazzy, it could be saved for the tagline once the user enters the RPG. The tagline can can still allude to Land Before Time, maybe even a bit of an inside joke, like: "Some things you see with your eyes......this would be one of them."

That could be a nice slogan.

The problem about "LBT Online" title is that it sounds very official, i think. I'm not sure if Universal pictures would like it. :unsure:

That's awesome.

Would they care, as long as the game is free to play and we don't try to sell it? No different from a fanfiction, is it?

Coyote_A · **Reply #18 on:** June 20, 2008, 03:21:00 AM

Well, what if they would like to create the "LBT Online" game on their own?

Then they own the copyright and we'll be forced to change our name because they'll patent it and we won't.
