@sydneyfalk Gritty and immersive? Kinda like fantasy XCom.

@Angle

Hm!

Steel and Blood?

@sydneyfalk Hmm, that seems like a good tagline. Maybe <something>: Tales of Steel and Blood?

@Angle

I like that as a tag, yeah! That'd play good, esp. with 'tales' in front there

is it A dungeon, or SEVERAL dungeons?

if it's A dungeon, maybe the name of the dungeon, then ": Tales of" after that

@sydneyfalk No, it's several dungeons. It is a region, though. On the other hand, I don't have a name for that either... XD

@Angle

there you go -- region name, and you've got all the hallmarks that say "this is a fantasy game"

- unusual world
- reference to fighting with bladed weapons
- vaguely archaic word use

@sydneyfalk Mmm, yeah. Now I just need a region name. Carvendaugh? Eh. :/

@Angle

Hm. HMMMMMM.

Do you have a language set up, or are you doing "it's in English but ARCHAIC English"?

@sydneyfalk I'm not actually sure what I'm gonna do for language. Probably english but funny sounding? Though not really archaic, I wanna do things differently than that. :/

@Angle

You could even veer a little further, something like Vasshen, Vaschon, something that sounds like 'visceral' doesn't hurt.

Crovasshun? Crovanhus?

(but obv. I'm spitballing here ^_^ if it's helpful, good, but fantasy's not usually my thing anyway, so I might not be the right source for this ^_^ )

@sydneyfalk Hmm. I like Crovasshun. Maybe I'll just use that? At least for the moment. :P

@Angle

Feel free! If it sticks, I'm glad I could help. And if it doesn't, I'm glad it helped until it was replaced by something better! ^_^

@sydneyfalk Indeed, thank you! I'll post some screen shots as soon as I have something pretty enough. XD

@Angle

^_^ I can't wait to see

(and squee, because I'm helping with gamedev creative stuff! ^_^ )

@Angle

Plus, you want it to 'sound' brutal -- the 'Carv' is good, the 'daugh' sounds -- soft, maybe squishy.

Carven would work by itself better, maybe?

Croven? I feel like it's a less-is-more kinda thing, maybe. If it's meant to be a "wide and varied" kinda fantasy land. Some of them are One Land Of Many, like in Elder Scrolls, so the names are very different between 'lands' involved.

@sydneyfalk I was thinking "daugh" pronounced like "Auugh!", but yeah. :/

@Angle

It's not a bad thought, but 'dough' is a more common word, so it kinda pulls the ugh sound into squishy-seeming, IMO.

('dargh' might work better? 'argh' is a sound of displeasure, and that'd definitely sound dungeon-crawly)

@Angle

maybe For The Coin, although I don't think the sound of that's gonna play as well unless someone KNOWS it's 'low fantasy' to start with

@Angle

oh! or maybe Blood For Coin?

feel like 'blood' should be prominent there, somehow O_o maybe that's me tho

@sydneyfalk No no, I like blood. it does seem approproate, as the game will likely involve lots of bleeding. :P

@Angle

s'why I went for it, figured it might ;) fantasy in general often does

@Feufochmar I ultimately decided to name the game after the main region in which it takes place, plus a tagline. So: "Crovasshun: Tales of Blood and Steel" it is, at least until I find something I like better. XD

@Azath Eh, I wanna put a bit more effort into the thing than that. XD

@BadWrongFun Eh, I already have a setting in mind though, and it's definitely not middle earth. :/

@Angle I wasn't really saying you needed to. But without any real details, I wouldn't really think of anything else. Sorry....

@BadWrongFun Ah, no worries. I ended up with "Crovasshun: Tales of Blood and Steel" eventually, which should do for now at least. XD

@Angle or LFGURPSADC, if so you prefer.
