Need help with a new Level Title

Archive: 47 posts

Ok Im knackered... up late last night finishing off my latest level and Im fresh out of ideas as to what I should call it.

My sig should hint to what its about. Its got not story, no gimmicks, (well it does use a custom background but that doesn't effect gameplay) just a good old straight up old skool platforming level

It has a gothic/greek/roman theme (if you can imagine that) and its main pull is a boss fight at the end against Medusa herself.

Im completely drawing a blank so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

cheers, wex.		2009-08-31 13:36:00

Hmmm...
Snake Pit?
Wrath of Ages?
Time's Revenge?
"Hiss"tory?
Through the Fire and Flames?

I'm out of ideas, past cultures aren't necessarily my thing. Are you looking for a funny/witty title, or a serious, enthralling title?		2009-08-31 13:41:00

Medusa's Wrath
In plain sight
Medusa is watching you
Medusa Confusa
In Medusa's Eyes		2009-08-31 13:44:00

mnnn.... something easily accessble. As there is no story, I don't want to scare away younger kids with an overly deep title. Its a pretty simple level created with casual gamers in mind.

I like...
Wrath of Ages
"Hiss"tory (I like puns )
Medusa's Wrath
Medusa Confusa		2009-08-31 13:48:00

Hmm, having played this with you, I think it's going to be a real cracker.

For a title, how about "The Medusa Touch". It's a pun, it's not too deep, and it kind of sums up what kind of creator you are (i.e. good)

"I Should Have Used Conditioner" aka "Bad Hair Day"

"My Milksnakes Bring all the Boys to the Yard"

on a more appropriate but less stupid note -

"Sackboy & the Curse/Eye of Medusa/Stone"		2009-08-31 14:29:00

Ancient Anarchy

^^^^
Alliteration

Anyway.
You could call it:

Leviathan's Revenge (Leviathan means monster)


Wait, is "My Milksnakes Bring all the Boys to the Yard" the name?! If so I like it athough it did take me a while to work it out lol.		2009-08-31 16:00:00

lol, I don't know I thought it was funny... just put it into my sig to see if it sticks with me

I am extremely tired right now so may not be the best time to judge a winner.

Until its released Im leaving it open to suggestions 		2009-08-31 16:14:00

I have something catchy

"A retrospect vista on the vigourous days of platforming by way of a fundamental Greco-Roman-themed level with a fulminant final struggle contra one of the three mystical gorgon, namely Medusa, Snake-haired mistress of rock."		2009-08-31 16:22:00

Yes, I sadly had to make some adjustments so you can actually use it without being limited by the character limit. The proper title was considerably longer.

PS: @Wex: If you use that title I heart you and your level no matter how bad or good it is. ^___^		2009-08-31 16:35:00

Brilliant!
I wonder would it fit in the title area? I'll check it out tonight

"I've had it with these mother fluffing snakes on this mother fluffing game! "
Very funny I like this too.

LOL. how about something serious. |considering the fact that only the boss is about snakes...The rest of the level (well what I have seen of it) has no obvious connection to snakes....2009-08-31 16:55:00

I have a feeling that will get cut off. I couldn't fit in the original title for one of my levels, called "A [Very Blocky] Level Made Entirely Out Of Cardboard, Dark Matter, and Dissolve", so I don't think that will make the cut. 		2009-08-31 17:52:00

I love that long title Syroc, but I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't ask if it should be "retrospective", not "retrospect"?

I also laughed at "Snakes on a Dame." Too funny.

When shall we expect a release? (you seem to be cranking these out rather quickly...)		2009-08-31 18:20:00

lol im loving the sig! anyways i was wondering if u came up with a boss yet, i know u were having troubles thinking of one yesterday?

um and with names for the level...hmmm... because it doesn't really follow a story u could just take words that describe the level and combine them into ur own word (that would fit the name of the level).

ex: romeek (roman+greek) this may not be the best idea, but im just throwing some out there lol		2009-08-31 18:30:00

The boss is Medusa.

Hey Wex, can you slow down a bit. You've made 4 ? levels is it now since you told me you were doing a trilogy and I said I was trying to come up with ideas for Sheriff Sack 2 and I haven't even started on it yet. I'm lagging behind. Oh god who mentioned 'LAG' ? Oh yeah me. Darn it I'm even more depressed now.

And I'm too late with my suggestion which was going to be 'It's a Mythtery'.

I think I'm all burnt out.		2009-08-31 21:57:00

That's a good choice, I'm sure you'll get plays, hearts, and comments based solely on the name. Simple, eye-catching, and it's an already established idea. 		2009-08-31 22:40:00
