I make visual novels! Also play them sometimes. Wish I had time for more of both. I also do a podcast and LPs, because I don't know how to stop myself.
And if you think about it afterwards, what about the name made you want to check out the game, or got it stuck in your head?
For me,
Hyper
Light
Drifter
has always had a great cadence in my head. It also sets the mood, genre and even rhythm of playing the game immediately.
I think "Ranking of Kings" really caught my attention (and then proceeded to have very little to do with it king ranking, now that I think about it). It's got that nice cadence.
Dragalia Lost was another one. Dragon+Regalia that's been lost?? I wanted to know more.
I've never read/watched Heavenly Delusion, but its name catches my attention literally every time I encounter it.
All of these have a short/catchy cool factor and an air of mystery to them, while being memorable and not difficult to spell. There's probably something to that. Despite knowing this, I rarely ever actively pursue these conventions when naming my own work hahaha
I never watched it but I do love the "ank" repetition for Ranking of Kings.
Dragalia is a fun one for inventing a word, which saying that I might wanna do for the name I'm stuck on. It's always good for making it stand out too in searches :eyes:
It's the kind of thing I only get deep into thinking about names when I'm stuck. Not because I have no ideas but I have conflicting thoughts like "Cleave the Weave sounds cool... but I don't think it sounds like a sci fi mystery timeline puzzle game."
Thank you for these! Much to chew on...
