It appears this website is gaining some momentum! Very exciting to see just a minor increase of visitors.
The game is coming along slowly but nicely. I don't know why it's taken this long. I think it's because I'm not great at drawing.
Last night I was just drawing a basket ball hoop for the playground and that took me 30 minutes.
Anyway this week should be a little more interesting than others, because I've finally come up with a couple possible names for the game.
Obviously it needs to stand out. For instance, Don't Shit Your Pants is a brilliant name for that game! Describes everything doesn't it? If 'The Smiths' is the perfect band name, then Don't Shit Your Pants is certainly the best game name.
I should probably describe the game a little more for some decent suggestions, so here goes.
The game is set inside a boarding school.
It's summer, but because you've done so terribly in your end of term exams, you have to spend your summer here.
Besides you, there are 50 other students, and 10 teachers.
When the day starts, you can explore the school and carry out missions for people, earning cards that can unlock extras.
There are 5 periods in the day: Morning, Lessons 1, Lunch, Lessons 2, Afternoon.
By the end of the 3rd mission, your goth friend Xerxes goes missing...
From then on, more pupils go missing, and you are at the centre of it all, trying to find out who done it!!!
I would like to give away the really meaty stuff, but that would ruin the mystery wouldn't it?
So far, all the names I've come up with just repeat the name of the school. E.g. ________ Academy, or ________ Highschool).
I've already thought long and hard about this, and I started by entering some random words into an anagram search engine. On the second entry I found 'Lurched Moors' (I entered murder school), and I liked that as an area name alot. So then I whacked 'Academy' onto the end of it.
Since then I've tried to mould it into a better name (after realising lurched is the past tense of to lurch, so I don't like it anymore) but I've not been able to come up with anything better than 'Wretched Moors Acadmey'
So, is it any good? Is it too long? If you came across it on a games website, would you feel obliged to play it?
Please tell me if it's a shit name or a bang tidy name, or in between.
Have you got some ideas yourself?
Either way, leave a comment with your honest opinion.
