Unnamed puzzle platformer
« on: October 09, 2011, 10:44:28 am »
Hi guys.

Back to reality.
I am creating a puzzle platformer in which you have to use buttons, crates, doors (just like as Tag, Graviter and Portal X). I am also adding transport tunnels like those in portal 2. Screenies when I get the engine finished.
Oh, if you have an idea for a name, please say it.

A name... PortalZ ? :P
Great idea though ! Good luck !

Also, if you need help, PortalX's source was released somewhere.

How about adding a space? I personally think Portal Z looks cleaner. That's a nice idea, too.

Combination?
How 'bout Obfuscation?
I'll be able to come up with some better names once I know more about this. Get to work on that screenie! :P

Just think of a word that sounds epic, and dark, and otherwise cool. Like, Futility. 'Cept you can't name your game Futility, cause I'm reserving it. ;)

We know absolutely nothing about the game except what objects might be in it.

But if there's going to be no more interesting mechanics I guess we can call it "Random Crap"

I think he was trying to make that one word, like pohr-talz

What I ended up doing for Essence was
1) Come up with random word
2) Open http://thesaurus.com
3) Click around at random until something likely is found
:P

Another idea would be to somehow make an acronym, like I almost had Dimension Shift as "S2" (Shifting and Switching)

Just a few ideas to get the mental gears turning ;)

Tips to making a platformer:

1) Find a really innovative (or at least unusual) mechanic that your game will revolve around.
2) Choose a name that's short and concise (fits in the 8-char limit :P)

Is this going to use Zedd? That would be awesome ^^

Maybe its going to use zedd. I have a question: Is prgmZEDD the full lib (ie, with rope libs and so)
By the way, i'm not creating a sequel to portal 2, i'm just using elements from it.
:o Is Insight a cool name?
