Help On Picking Game Name
« on: August 22, 2021, 02:12:40 pm »

I am making a game that is mainly set on a rivalry between Dwarves( Hooray!) and Elves Hippies(Ew.)
The current name is Dwarf Fight, for those it may concern.

My problem is I don't know what to call the game and the player. I decided to use the DF world creator to come up with names for the game, and then embarked, after creating a copy of the save so I could use legends for other things, to get the Dwarves names.
I ditched one of the original first names, and threw in a "Generic Name"

I just wanted to see what the DF Forum community would think as a good name for a game mainly set on a rivalry between Dwarves and Elves Hippies, and a player name.

I dunno, 'Soil and Stone'?

Guess you could probably subscript it with "Dire Rights" as a play on the mineral diorite?

It feels like we'd need to know the scope, scale, and tone of how the two groups are fighting before we could suggest an apropos name.

The elves Hippies are being sneaky assassins and robbing Dwarven caravans, and teaming up with goblins and a 2 headed cyclops, while the Dwarves are trying to trade with the Humans, and get attacked while escorting a trader's wagon to the nearest human civilization.

For now the elves are tree hugging assassins, and the dwarves are just stereotypical dwarves.
I do intend on some humor, with goblins speaking like visco girls, and humans like valley girls, but it is mainly focused on elves Hippies and Dwarves disagreement.

That's all I really have right now, as I'm trying to setup a website at the same time, aswell as getting base models for some characters finished.

The current site for the game is here

https://syrings-portfolio.w3spaces.com/index.html

It has images for some of the character models, as well as a little "bio" for each. The site is still a work in progress, but is not my main focus.

I also have a video here, but it will be replaced later once I have more to do a new test build video
