Hey Tim, I found your channel and I find it very interesting. My thing is not indie games but rather IOS and Android games. I like this video and I think you didn’t mention about acronyms. The name of my game is not that long but I created an acronym for it and I strongly believe it could work. What is your opinion on Acronyms? Thanks for any feed back on a very interesting and important topic.
Its the name of the main character as well but the title is - Render. Think itll only pass the pub test half the time. Guess if you like, i'll respond.
Dennis Silva An indie game has nothing to do with the platform. An indie game is a game that is made without a publisher. Do you have a publisher? If not, you make indie games.
Yeah man, were deep in development, release is in about 8 months! Were completely in love with this theme:D Check out website here if your interested! www.bleakmill.com
It's fine for a hobby project, but I wouldn't call a serious project that. It lacks personality and "simulator" is something that is so overused that it's starting to be associated with crappy games (like goat simulator).
Wow, really appreciate the advicing, you actually have helped me a lot to rethink about my game's title, most likely going to start picking a new one, making something interesting.
Literally, no one would have noticed the color and lighting change between the cards because you used them to transition in and out and made us forget what everything looked like. You could have changed clothes and maybe 2% of people would have noticed.
Strange. I was reading some articles about this just yesterday. Anyways, I've grown to despise single-noun titles. I love the new production quality, keep it up!
Hey I know I'm kinda late to be posting this comment, but I just wanna say, This video made me come up with 4 game names (they are pretty cool and unique ideas too). Though I don't want to spill them, I want to say thanks for the support. It will definitely be good for my gaming industry for Unity.
It's not just the number of syllables, it's also how the syllables are stressed (the poetic metre) that determines how it will sound and flow (alternating stress, like STEphen KING, or TOny STARK, your examples, works pretty well). There's a whole field of study of poetry and prosody, about how words work together, but anyone could at least read up on metre to get an overview (or metrical feet, or prosody, or however you want to look it up).
Wow, you really stepped up the quality of these videos Tim. Good job! I'm also hesitating a lot about naming my next game. I have a strong idea about it, but I'm still undecided.
"Can you tell the genre from looking at the title of the game?" Chrono Trigger's a pretty good fps. "Naming your game after your character can be pretty powerful, just make sure they're not going to die or something's going to happen to them." \*cough*
Very helpful! I've always been very passionate about finding a good name. For one of my game concepts I have been changing the name over and over and now you have given me some nice tools to find the perfect one!
Someone has probably already pointed this out but Tetris is the combination of the words Tetra meaning 4 since there are 4 blocks in each shape you use in Tetris and Tennis for the creators favorite game.
Fuck! Just found out the name "Shifting Realms" has been taken by a kickstarter board game. Guess I'll have to find a new name for my game now... Good thing I just saw this video. :D
I want to call my game plaque. It's a weird dark fps. The word has most letters of quake, which is kinda the role model for my game. Some people said it feels dirty and fits the game, but doing a google picture search, well I don't recommend that
Here is the reason why we named our game Airline Transportation Tycoon. 1: It's about running an airline business. 2: Your goal is to be transporting pax, cargo or both from point A - Point B. 3: The main goal is about money and that's why we used tycoon as part of the name.
I couldn't think up a name for a game I've been working on, so I decided to call it "Working Title". Considering I'm doing this particular project mostly as a technical demo and personal learning experience, I think it's actually reasonably appropriate.
Naming is so hard. I have issues naming anything in my game, let alone the game itself. Maybe I'm setting the bar too high. Wanting to give every major character a name that is short, sounds cool, has meaning and isn't used by something else already. Having all four is a big blockade. Well, basically I want to combine all these points you mention at the beginning but hardly anything fits perfectly.
I called the game I am developing right now "Blackmarked Desert: Adventure of a Merchant", while the second part could also be removed. What kind of game does it sound like to you? Recently uploaded an early version to Itch.
It Sounds Like a Game where you trade goods and travel throught a desert to selle them, Button you need to be aware of guards. Gamemechanic: it could be about resouce Management ans how you improve the effectivity of the trade
comes close to the intention I had of making the game. Right now, it is a platformer where you as a merchant have to travel between different ancient cities and find relics and stuff while wandering the desert and exploring ruins. Need to emphasize the whole trading aspect a bit more though.
KingDanius cool im Happy to give it a try ^^ I tryed it and it is intresting : D I like that there are multiple solutions, wouldn't it make more sence why to enable the end afther every Quest is solved? Ithink a more emotional winn screen could be better
That was a cool transition at 7:50! My game is Comrades and Barons: Solitaire of Bloody 1919. It's subtitle tells you that it is a solitaire and that it is set in the year 1919. (And first part has aliteration in Latvian but not in English).
Sorry, I stopped watching after 3 minutes. The upbeat music, the jump cuts and the electric transitions annoy the hell out of me. I know you're trying to reach a wider public that have little to none attention span, but those people are never gonna be gamedevs because they don't have the patience for it.
I think its all about mentality. making a game is not rocket science. just got to remember anyone can easily finish a game but can you finish a good game?
I dunno. The one point made, that a game should be a descriptive title makes absolutely no sense to me from an indie perspective. This goes more towards Triple A titles. (Specifically Western made) It's niche for most people that need to watch this. Grand Theft Auto, Need For Speed, Call Of Duty / Battlefield, Assassins Creed. These are all descriptive titles. They allow marketability from an AAA Team's perspective because it already takes in the potential Player with some expectancy, addressing a large audience with an even larger budget and are easy to abbreviate too while also not being too long in their own right... This, however, is not a good take for Indies, that mostly rely on intrigue to Name their games. If you asked someone in a bar (assuming they never heard of this...) what a Hollow Knight is... What's a Hyper Light Drifter? What is Stardew Valley even about!? Ofc. this CAN be broken up slightly. Assuming "The Binding Of Isaac" probably has something to do with the Bible Story plays in neatly with the Dev's expected mindset. But is it in any shape or form descriptive of the Gameplay itself? You can assume that Call Of Duty is probably an Army game, GTA is about stealing cars but The Binding of Isaac being (on the surface level) about playing as a naked child in a cellar crying to defeat spiders, flies, unspeakable horrors and deformities and the foot of your Mom? Indie Games cannot simply allow themselves to be descriptive and if they can the game behind it is most likely not Grandiose enough to support that statement to begin with. That's what makes them charming. Always trying something innovative. Not only limited to (or necessarily even including) game design. This goes a long way. The best Indie Titles have a good way with world building, evoking feelings, presenting you with instant nostalgia and so on. I do agree with the other points though. My working title used to be Project: Odem, which was ok for being just that but even shortening it to Odem would've been a lot better to begin with.
Currently i am calling my game Project Woods the reason that i am calling it Woods is because i want my game to be about a person who lives out in a forest very relaxed sound interesting?
I ended up deciding on the name "Stranger Eon" for my game! It has a lot of slight variants, like Stranger Eons, Stranger Aeon, etc, so I can change it a bit to avoid copyright if I have to. I think it generally passes all the tests you put up here! I want to call it "Stranger Æon", since it fits better, but I worry an Ash might break searches!
Problem is, if you change the name so slightly to avoid copyright issues, players when searching will certainly mess up if they ear about your game without knowing exactly how to type it, and find the other (copyrighted) game. It won't happen if other copyrighted names aren't games, as they will certainly, if they only find movies or stuff, add "game" or "mmorpg" to the search bar.
My game is called 'Ruya'. Ruya means 'dream' in Turkish which embodies the diegesis that I wanted to convey. Ruya is also a common name for girls which is the name of the player character in the game. It looked clean typed out with the custom typeface and I liked that it was only one word. :)
Hey Tim, I just love how you made this video, with the motivational music in the background (Which reminds me of the #finishit video). It feels really inspirational and just wants me to get working on my game! Please make more of these kind of videos! It has really helped me and taught me a lot about gamedev. Have a nice day!
Nice video. I always find it very difficult to find a name that doesn't already exist in some other form. Like a book title, music band or movie. I would like to know more about what the rules are for copyright infringement in those cases... For example: publisher "King" sued "Stoic entertainment" for using the word "Saga" in their game title "The Banner Saga". But on the other hand: The name "Lord of War" is both used in an IOS game and movie title. The name "Oblivion" is both used in a game and a movie. The only difference being that "oblivion" was used as a sub title of "Elder scrolls". The same goes for Assasins creed - Unity. Where most people know "Unity" as a game engine. I think most people want to avoid legal troubles or changing their name after releasing.
While it is very likely to happen that you'll get sued. This is just how it is, companies with money that hire poeple to protect their mark are really likely to sue everyone for no reasons, after all, they're paying someone every month. They'll loose a lot, but they hope they'll win a few and sell you the name under license, for a price based off your incomes (i guess). When your are a music composer, you sometimes get sued even if your music has nothing in common with their's, they kinda hope you'll give up.
yeah I have a name "BattleForEmbolia" game, witch was good in my lenguaje (spanish) but then do not sounds good in english haha battleforembolia.com btw. So U may add: check if your game name have meening in other lenguajes if u gonna target those audiences.
Here's a question: What about different languages? I speak spanish, but I think my game's name should be in english to make it international and world-wide accesible. That's clear. But... It will be very strange to tell people here and say the name in english... and if I say it in spanish they won't find it... damn, it's so difficult.
Started working on a game I currently call Expanse. I wanna see what people think that's like, so reply what you think if you like. Press read more to see if you guessed right. Expanse is a fast-paced top-down roguelike dungeon crawler with combat much like Dark Souls, but with bullethell aspects. The world is planned to be infinite, as it keeps generating as you go. Where you've been, you build a city. The game would have huge randomisation, allowing for billions of different enemies and even randomised bosses, as well as a lot of non-random bosses. Since the game is planned to last forever, death results in losing your character, but you won't lose the world unless your city is poorly protected and gets overrun when you die. You'd have to start over with a new character with a level and equipment matching your progress, giving you the chance to kill the ghost of your past character to get your loot back.
I noticed that *almost* all puzzle genre games uses custom names, to name a few: Tetris, Puyo Puyo, Lumines, Gunpey, Klax, Luxor, and Meteos. The only game that I know that doesn't follow this supposed naming conventions are: Super Puzzle Fighters, Professor Layton and Dr. Mario
Side note: Try to remember that puns are not always jokes. Any play on words can count as a pun. Don't shy away from such wordplay thinking it is "just for jokes." Wordplay is a good way to invoke intrigue or convey an idea. Double meanings work great.
"Emergent Hilarity Fantasy Name Generator" - procedural punny character name maker for ProcJam; "Cargotastrophe" - game jam entry about hauling dangerous alien cargo in space; "Ad Aqua Per Astra!" - game jam shoot-em-up played on and above a water planet, it means "To water, through the stars".
love your videos! When i was going to go sub i noticed how many subs you have and i was surprised! you deserve much more! i named my game stygian (means very dark in latin) because my game is about exploring a land that once was colorful but has fallen to darkess
I think the intro speed is spot on now. And you made a damn nice job of maintaining talking speed. I feel the music throughout the video is not necessary, but it's not awful either.
The video quality has really improved... Your old videos seemed like you might be in the bathroom shooting a quick video while you... lol Keep up the good work.
Post your game's name! Let's see how you did.
Hey Tim, I found your channel and I find it very interesting. My thing is not indie games but rather IOS and Android games. I like this video and I think you didn’t mention about acronyms. The name of my game is not that long but I created an acronym for it and I strongly believe it could work. What is your opinion on Acronyms? Thanks for any feed back on a very interesting and important topic.

Bob Marl thanks for the info Bob. Yeah I might do that. Thanks again!
Naming your indie game is easier than you think. You know, you should take this online naming your game course on Udemy...
Ouch.
:'-(
Jaksida A youtube advertisement
It probably cost money though.

Tetris actually stems from tetromino, which is a geometric shape composed of 4 squares
"Fighter is a verb" ~ Tim Ruswick, 2018
I know. I saw that after. Thats what I get for adding things in last second. Thank god im not an english teacher.
Haha I was looking for this comment lol worst part was it hit me towards the end of the video that fighter wasnt a verb
I'm pretty sure that "angry" isn't a verb either. :o
Yeah, fighter and angry are adjectives, but It still works in the same way :P
Fighter is a noun, and angry is an adjective. There were more minor errors than these two, but I don't feel like nitpicking. :-)
I see games named battle ninja city 3d police racing on play store that have over a million downloads
new york city spiderman crime open world fighting game 2020 free
I love how you've been evolving your content making it better and better. Great videos!
This is how you do subtitles:
"Slaves to Armok: God of Blood Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress"
I mean yeah, "Tetris" is a made up name. but the pieces are called "Tetrominoes"
That's because Tetra means four.
INDUSTRIA - Steampunk shooter in Scandinavia!
Is this a game you are making? Steampunk is an interesting theme
Yeah man, were deep in development, release is in about 8 months! Were completely in love with this theme:D

I'm calling my 3d platformer Computer Virus Simulator and you cannot disuade me from that, it's set in stone.
One edit you can make in the title art: Computer Virus "Simulator"
It's too generic and definitely not good discoverability and text-searches
It's fine for a hobby project, but I wouldn't call a serious project that. It lacks personality and "simulator" is something that is so overused that it's starting to be associated with crappy games (like goat simulator).
Goat simulator is one of my favorite crappy games
Bob Marl He’s joking, he’s saying he would give people viruses
Wow, really appreciate the advicing, you actually have helped me a lot to rethink about my game's title, most likely going to start picking a new one, making something interesting.
7:33 you just blew my mind!
I was think a name for my new game right now and saw the notification for this video. What a timing Tim 👏
same
That has happened to me before.
Street (noun) fighter (noun)
Angry (adjective) Birds (noun)
The Streetfighter one is me being a smart ass. The other is on you, lol
Thank you, this is a thing I think about a lot but never get anywhere because I just couldnt figure out how to approach it.
Literally, no one would have noticed the color and lighting change between the cards because you used them to transition in and out and made us forget what everything looked like. You could have changed clothes and maybe 2% of people would have noticed.

Awesome tips! Also make sure the name is not already taken, by googling it and searching a trademark register like uspto.
It's not just the number of syllables, it's also how the syllables are stressed (the poetic metre) that determines how it will sound and flow (alternating stress, like STEphen KING, or TOny STARK, your examples, works pretty well).

Tell us what you game is about and we (UA-cam community) will spam you with funny (stupid) names! :-)
I think That "Undicided" can be a good name for a dialouge choice based games ...
"Can you tell the genre from looking at the title of the game?"
Chrono Trigger's a pretty good fps.
"Naming your game after your character can be pretty powerful, just make sure they're not going to die or something's going to happen to them."
\*cough*
WolfieMario you do get the chance to revive him even though it's optional

really good editing. well done
btw you helped me chose my game name
Here is the reason why we named our game Airline Transportation Tycoon.
1: It's about running an airline business.
2: Your goal is to be transporting pax, cargo or both from point A - Point B.
3: The main goal is about money and that's why we used tycoon as part of the name.
Great video! Appreciate your work here. :)
Checked my game's name with your sort of check list, thank you for the video.
I couldn't think up a name for a game I've been working on, so I decided to call it "Working Title".
Considering I'm doing this particular project mostly as a technical demo and personal learning experience, I think it's actually reasonably appropriate.

Warhammer40000: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade: Inquisition Daemonhunt
Anti-Chamber? Wouldn't that actually be a play on antechamber?
Does "Life OverShadow" sound good?
I called the game I am developing right now "Blackmarked Desert: Adventure of a Merchant", while the second part could also be removed.
What kind of game does it sound like to you?
Recently uploaded an early version to Itch.
It Sounds Like a Game where you trade goods and travel throught a desert to selle them, Button you need to be aware of guards.
Gamemechanic: it could be about resouce Management ans how you improve the effectivity of the trade
comes close to the intention I had of making the game.
Right now, it is a platformer where you as a merchant have to travel between different ancient cities and find relics and stuff while wandering the desert and exploring ruins.
Need to emphasize the whole trading aspect a bit more though.
KingDanius Sound Like an intresting Game : D
I already have an alpha version uploaded if you want to test it... ^^
kingdanius.itch.io/blackmarked-desert-advantures-of-a-merchant
KingDanius cool im Happy to give it a try ^^
I tryed it and it is intresting : D
I like that there are multiple solutions, wouldn't it make more sence why to enable the end afther every Quest is solved? Ithink a more emotional winn screen could be better
That was a cool transition at 7:50!
My game is Comrades and Barons: Solitaire of Bloody 1919. It's subtitle tells you that it is a solitaire and that it is set in the year 1919. (And first part has aliteration in Latvian but not in English).
verb + noun: Angry birds
...
"Angry" is not a verb!
My game is called SCI-EYE. It’s a sci fi action and rpg game.
Sorry, I stopped watching after 3 minutes. The upbeat music, the jump cuts and the electric transitions annoy the hell out of me. I know you're trying to reach a wider public that have little to none attention span, but those people are never gonna be gamedevs because they don't have the patience for it.
it was fine.
I think its all about mentality. making a game is not rocket science. just got to remember anyone can easily finish a game but can you finish a good game?
I really liked the new titles.
3:35 Mortal Kombat
Great vid! I played "GenerationS Lost" on Sega Mega Drive a lo-o-ong time ago. -)
I dunno. The one point made, that a game should be a descriptive title makes absolutely no sense to me from an indie perspective.
This goes more towards Triple A titles. (Specifically Western made)
It's niche for most people that need to watch this.
Grand Theft Auto, Need For Speed, Call Of Duty / Battlefield, Assassins Creed. These are all descriptive titles. They allow marketability from an AAA Team's perspective because it already takes in the potential Player with some expectancy, addressing a large audience with an even larger budget and are easy to abbreviate too while also not being too long in their own right...
This, however, is not a good take for Indies, that mostly rely on intrigue to Name their games.
If you asked someone in a bar (assuming they never heard of this...) what a Hollow Knight is... What's a Hyper Light Drifter? What is Stardew Valley even about!?
Ofc. this CAN be broken up slightly. Assuming "The Binding Of Isaac" probably has something to do with the Bible Story plays in neatly with the Dev's expected mindset.
But is it in any shape or form descriptive of the Gameplay itself? You can assume that Call Of Duty is probably an Army game, GTA is about stealing cars but The Binding of Isaac being (on the surface level) about playing as a naked child in a cellar crying to defeat spiders, flies, unspeakable horrors and deformities and the foot of your Mom?
Indie Games cannot simply allow themselves to be descriptive and if they can the game behind it is most likely not Grandiose enough to support that statement to begin with.
That's what makes them charming. Always trying something innovative. Not only limited to (or necessarily even including) game design.
This goes a long way.
The best Indie Titles have a good way with world building, evoking feelings, presenting you with instant nostalgia and so on.
I do agree with the other points though.
My working title used to be Project: Odem, which was ok for being just that but even shortening it to Odem would've been a lot better to begin with.
I was thinking When gods fall... but it doesn't make sense until the second installment. so I'm trying to think of a new name.
Currently i am calling my game Project Woods the reason that i am calling it Woods is because i want my game to be about a person who lives out in a forest very relaxed sound interesting?
I ended up deciding on the name "Stranger Eon" for my game! It has a lot of slight variants, like Stranger Eons, Stranger Aeon, etc, so I can change it a bit to avoid copyright if I have to. I think it generally passes all the tests you put up here! I want to call it "Stranger Æon", since it fits better, but I worry an Ash might break searches!
Problem is, if you change the name so slightly to avoid copyright issues, players when searching will certainly mess up if they ear about your game without knowing exactly how to type it, and find the other (copyrighted) game.

Does anyone have any name suggestions for a PvP / PvE shooter game with a cottagecore/mushroomcore aesthetic?
But I love running around the world as Zelda. Then I Down-B and run around the world as Sheik.
My game is called 'Ruya'. Ruya means 'dream' in Turkish which embodies the diegesis that I wanted to convey. Ruya is also a common name for girls which is the name of the player character in the game. It looked clean typed out with the custom typeface and I liked that it was only one word. :)
Hey Tim, I just love how you made this video, with the motivational music in the background (Which reminds me of the #finishit video). It feels really inspirational and just wants me to get working on my game! Please make more of these kind of videos! It has really helped me and taught me a lot about gamedev.
Have a nice day!
Fighter or Angry are not verbs, but adjectives in this case. Still, good video! Thanks!
Tetris kinda is a number. Tetra means four, which is the number of squares in each tetrimino
Almost commented about your Zelda comment, but then heard you say, "It's a joke." Lol.
Talking about mixed up words and pronounciation, Have any one played Noman sky 😂
Angry is not a verb...

I just googled that, "Let it go. Let it go..."
Nice video. I always find it very difficult to find a name that doesn't already exist in some other form. Like a book title, music band or movie.
I would like to know more about what the rules are for copyright infringement in those cases...
For example: publisher "King" sued "Stoic entertainment" for using the word "Saga" in their game title "The Banner Saga".
But on the other hand: The name "Lord of War" is both used in an IOS game and movie title. The name "Oblivion" is both used in a game and a movie.

yeah I have a name "BattleForEmbolia" game, witch was good in my lenguaje (spanish) but then do not sounds good in english haha battleforembolia.com btw.
So U may add: check if your game name have meening in other lenguajes if u gonna target those audiences.
3:07 Umm its LINK, not ZELDA, REEEEE
"Magic Star werewolf" sounds like a good title
Here's a question: What about different languages? I speak spanish, but I think my game's name should be in english to make it international and world-wide accesible. That's clear. But... It will be very strange to tell people here and say the name in english... and if I say it in spanish they won't find it... damn, it's so difficult.
Does battle grids sound ok its a multiplayer shooting game on a procedurally generated tron grid
Before that... how to name your indie circle (indie company name)?
Wow, Among Us must have a great name.
Is "Black Rim" really the name of your game or is that your pornhub search history? xD
Sorry, I couldn't help myself...
hey howabout ~SPACETIME~
"Final Outcome" 😂
My upcoming game is "Shibafinity" and the next game after that is "Project Fibonacci Clusterfuck" . Don't judge ;D

1:00 I like how hard you focus on pronouncing the word correctly but still got it wrong. It's "pronunciation", not "pronounciation".
Great vid, really insightful. 11:15 Testing Names Thank you 👊 However, 3:41 for registered trademark purposes, it does make sense.

Great content but this music I think is too distracting. I felt like I was watching a trailer. Like the intro never ended...
Side note: Try to remember that puns are not always jokes. Any play on words can count as a pun. Don't shy away from such wordplay thinking it is "just for jokes." Wordplay is a good way to invoke intrigue or convey an idea. Double meanings work great.
I almost had a heart attack when he said you play as Zelda 😂
I had to pause the video so I can laugh at the Zelda joke, lol. You do know your audience :D
Even though Gnome Man’s Land doesn’t roll off the tongue, No Man’s Land’s historical significance in WWI still makes it impactful as a game title.

Does 'Yester-Year' work?
(It's a post civilization survival game where you have to keep as many party members alive as possible)

love your videos! When i was going to go sub i noticed how many subs you have and i was surprised! you deserve much more!
i named my game stygian (means very dark in latin) because my game is about exploring a land that once was colorful but has fallen to darkess
I was going to use "Game of Heroes" for my roguelike deckbuilding game but I won't :)
Hi
I think the intro speed is spot on now. And you made a damn nice job of maintaining talking speed. I feel the music throughout the video is not necessary, but it's not awful either.
The video quality has really improved... Your old videos seemed like you might be in the bathroom shooting a quick video while you... lol
Keep up the good work.
