-rolleyes- The problem with taking other people's names, is that they're too unoriginal at that point. Though, I agree with your assessment of Garrett being a safe name. (Ironically, even though I agreed Golden Sun was ALSO the same first game I thought of, Garrett the Fire user.)

Kain and Altair are just too unique for you to get away with using them though, IMO. Altair has never been a common name, AFAIK, so it's undeniably tied to Assassin's Creed. And in my mind Kain is associated with Cain, the biblical first murderer.

[Schramm]

I like all of them apart from Enzo, it just seems to close to Ezio for me and also imo does not sound asian. Maybe something like Ronin (Samurai without a master) or Takeshi (feirce warrior)? They're ones that stood out to me on a quick google search of asian names

Kain and Altair were scrapped before like mentioned in the thread, I didn't like them that much, they were just better than what I had which was squat xD.

(Altair wasn't even considered)

Wow. I just read you wanted suggestions for names. My mind was already kicking into overdrive as to what i would suggest. Then i read the rest of the name discussion and decided maybe posting my suggestions might not be that good of an idea since they all tend to fall into your category of "tough to digest". At least i believe so.

I actually liked most of Spectral's.

And since you seem to already have found your names, well, no point in trying. So i'll instead comment on yours.


You have two fighters in your name list. Did i miss out on there being two different fighters or is that just a mixup? If so, i root for Locke.

Second, i honestly have to admit that i truly dislike the notion of a female elf named Abigail. Abigail is - i don't know - the secretary of some ceo sitting in Portland. Not an elvish archer. But names like most art are a subjective experience. So no offense, just voicing my opinion.

In additon, though i don't dislike the name in general, something about "Enzo" just rubs me the wrong way. Just can't find out why exactly.

The other names are fine imho.

You can still suggest.

I might change Abigail (EDIT: she's now Arwen) Locke is also indeed not a fighter that was a mistake (my bad ), he's a Thief.

Enzo is a Japanese name, you need to stop associating and aligning everything to new games, Enzo is also a common name while Ezio the first time I heard it was in Assassins Creed..

Funny thing, when I saw Altair, I thought Master of Orion, not Assassins Creed (Played like 3 hours altogether on that game, repetitive and boring IMHO).

If I saw someone named Cloud... I mean... Who names a character Cloud? Well probably the same person who names one Rain and everyone seems to like it.



Today, sadly I discovered that some things I wanted to do with backgrounds weren't possible, so I was introduced to parallax backgrounds. Fun stuff.

What do you mean by aligning everything to new games? I dont follow

[StarkePT]

Associating.

[Schramm]

Oh, I see what you mean, sorry if I annoyed you back then, communication isnt really my strong point.
I guess I'll leave this thread for a while, good luck with the game

[cookie jar]

A thief named Locke?

You haven't by any chance read "The Lies of Locke Lamora" by Scott Lynch?


As for Arwen, that's too LotR for me (again personal preferences and such). So i dare to suggest to name her Ariana, Shariana or Lynissel instead. (and yes, i am aware that the first and second suggestion are very similar indeed )

The only thing I associate Altair with is the Zegapain Altair

lol annoy me? hahahaha no, I'm just saying that if people associate every name to someone, hardly there is still any available names for RPG's unless you got a huuuge imagination, honestly some of those names, I thought about them first and then later I associated (due to suggestions from you guys lol), you guys associate the names with someone as soon as you see them xD I mean c'mon, Garrett? It's a really common name, and Kain? First assassin of the bible...

A thief named Locke?

Yes, as a matter of fact I did xD

My ex-girlfriend bought it as soon as it came out, that, and well, Final Fantasy 6 made me pick Locke.

See, that's the thing again, I didn't see LotR the way most people did, I saw parts here and there and I hardly remember names, except uhh, Aragorn, Legolas, and uh, the wizard.. Gandalf yeah, unlike Harry Potter which I just think it's a mass delusional overrated phenomenon, I think the movie is actually decent (also overrated) but it's soooo long and so many dead parts, seriously they just wanted to milk the cow, no reason to make the movie so big, they could put it all in two, maybe one movie.

I suppose Arwen is that elf main chick that becomes human right? Yeah that's too big, elf, archer, oh wow, impossible not to associate, I'm going to take Shariana and abbreviate it to Shari, Ariana is associated with racism in Latin.

I like Elenar, Kra'gar, Erveil, Feyla and Tisra, oh what do you know lol, I like most xD

Well I've chosen the names for main characters but I'll need names for everyone else too, including the bad guys xD

[...] Ariana is associated with racism in Latin

Thewhowithewhatnot?

Sorry you really got me confused there. I admit me learning Latin was a couple of years back and i forgot most of what i learned but even Google couldn't provide me with anything to explan that notion.

Or are you refering to the so called "national socialist ideology" here?

Either way there was no racist association intended.


Btw. i tend to agree in part on your take on LotR. Especially the books have parts that are more than slightly tedious to read. They already did cut out a lot of that for the movies. Even though i like both the movies and the books (which i first read over a decade before the last movies came out.)

And i just realized, i'm completely going off topic right now. I apologize for that.

Don't worry, consider this theory crafting, I might withdraw something good from it xD

Alright guys, greaaaat news, I've been working a little bit on my game lately (it's one of those things, I barely have time to touch it, but when I do, I get totally into it and advance a lot) soooo... I got to finish my dissertation until next Thursday, but after that I'm free, meaning in the next 3 weeks starting today, you should have the first 1/2 hours of gameplay released

[cookie jar]

I got to finish my dissertation until next Thursday

Precicely which step do you have to be over with until next Thursday? Is your defence coming up? Anyway good luck to you.

[Firesong]

every time i see the title of this thread it makes me think of ghost trick: phantom detective.
that's all

Bro, I know the "judges", it's gonna be a total courthouse, and they're going to question the most basic things xD

Never played it so lol, can't really say why


OT: Kinda deciding whether to make the game 3 member party, or letting it stay at 4... Hmmmmmm, need to decide soon, very soon.

[StarkePT]

Someone messed up with the LoK database REAL bad.

Anyway, I feel the need to say this, the game will NOT be GOR, the h-scenes will happen naturally, you won't have to be losing to X,Y,Z just in order to get the h-scenes.

[StarkePT]

Is it just me or the forum EDIT button disappeared?

[skwerewolf]

Hi, any news about this game?

[phoenyxz]

I agree how are things going starke kinda want to see it

[StarkePT]

Oh, sorry guys, thought the thread died.

The project was "abandoned", basically and long story short, I wasn't feeling the whole 3D custom girl thing, so either I would find someone to draw, or drop the project.

I did neither, I'm creating a game (which is well under way about 8 hours of gameplay so far, the world map has 32 cities each with its own theme), but sadly for you guys, it's not Hentai
