Title: The game needs a name!
Post by: 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?

Post by: Mumbling on June 19, 2008, 09:31:11 AM: 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.

Post by: Malte279 on June 19, 2008, 12:23:16 PM: 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" :lol

Post by: Coyote_A on June 19, 2008, 01:43:06 PM: There is also some strange variants, likeThe Land Before Time: Behind The Scenes. :)

Post by: SolarThreehorn on June 19, 2008, 03:47:11 PM: How about something like:
The Land Before Time, Adventures In The Valley
Title: The game needs a name!
Post by: action9000 on June 19, 2008, 03:51:02 PM: 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.

Post by: Kor on June 19, 2008, 05:09:26 PM: 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.
Title: The game needs a name!
Post by: Malte279 on June 19, 2008, 05:28:02 PM: 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 :p

I definitely agree with this. :)

The Land Before Time Online. :lol :lol
(seriously...somebody is going to Google that some day, come across this topic and be like WTF?? :p)

The Land Before Time
Beyond the Mysterious Beyond

The Land Before Time
Whispers From Beyond

Post by: Kor on June 19, 2008, 10:04:27 PM: Having the mysterious beyond in the title is like having the great valley in the title, some would think it takes place only there.
Title: The game needs a name!
Post by: F-14 Ace 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.

Simple, to the point:
I like it.

Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on June 20, 2008, 03:02:36 AM: 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."

"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:

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?
Title: The game needs a name!
Post by: Coyote_A 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. :p
Title: The game needs a name!
Post by: Kor on June 20, 2008, 03:29:47 AM: If it is going to be private, them maybe not having the land before time since it may show up in a google search. Not sure if it is meant to be private, semi private or what.
Title: The game needs a name!
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on June 20, 2008, 03:32:47 AM: We don't want it to be private, do we? All this work, and we're not gonna maximise chances of attracting the general Internet public? (which, knowing the general Internet public, acutally might not be such a bad idea)
Title: The game needs a name!
Post by: Sky on June 20, 2008, 03:34:16 AM: How about, hmm..., let's see....

The Land Before Time - A Dinos Story
The Land Before Time - World Explore
The Land Before Time - The Greatest Journey

Come up with names is really tough.

I'd like this project attract the attention of LBT fans everywhere, not just the Gang of Five. If we can get the word out, especially once we're closer to a working game, that would probably be best for the success of the game!

Post by: Malte279 on June 20, 2008, 03:49:56 AM: I wonder how much universals would protest against this free advertising for their movies. After all none of us would earn a quarter of a cent from it.

The land before time - The circle of life

(sounds too much like the lion king or a story about eating and being eaten).
Perhaps the title is the least pressing concern at the moment.

Witht the amount of effort this will take, that's unfortunate, isn't it? :p

You're probably right, Malte.

This is why I want to get a title figured out:
http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/i...opic=3697.0& (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=3505.0&)

We need something to put on the more permanent background graphics. :)

The land before time - Adventure in the past

Post by: ingster on July 08, 2008, 06:22:19 PM: well...........thinking up names isent my strongest ability........ what about:
The Land Before Time X? (X being a unknown number, not the number 10)
The Land Before Time - The Great Adventure Scheme

thats all i can think of for now
Title: The game needs a name!
Post by: Belmont2500 on August 12, 2009, 09:22:12 AM: how about simply "The Land Before Time: Adventures".

Post by: Belmont2500 on August 12, 2009, 08:00:15 PM: "Journey To A Land Before Time" that sounds good,dosen't it.
Title: The game needs a name!
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on August 12, 2009, 08:38:58 PM: A one word title might be cool. "Timeless," would fit, since by nature an RPG world just keeps going forever, and it references the title "Land Before Time." In addition, no "Land Before Time" in the title means we won't have to change the title if Universal makes their own.
Title: The game needs a name!
Post by: Alex on August 12, 2009, 08:56:11 PM: I don't think we have to worry about Universal making a game of their own, anymore.

I kind of liked Malte's idea, "The Land Before Time - The Circle of Life"
