    Question About Naming Conventions for Submitting

    Just so I can explain where I am coming from for this question, let me explain a brief background. At the moment I am working on a 2D role playing game to put up, a project I had originally been working on for PC over 5 years ago and cancelled because of my evaluations of the game market at the time, then restarted and have been working on off-and-on in 3D since then. Recently I decided I wanted to do the original 2D version again so began working on it in XNA.

    My question is this, on the title splash screen I want to have a small note to designate it as the original version, as I am still working on and plan on releasing it in 3D as well. More specifically, I have added a small word "Classic" under the title to designate this. What I want to know is can I still just use the game's name as the internal binary and project submittion name when I finish it and submit it, or would I have to submit it with the word "Classic" included as part of the project and binary name?

    You can't have two projects with the same name so you should call them whatever makes sense to you

    Well the other one wouldn't be on XBLCG, and several years down the road anyway, I just wanted to be able to retroactively distinct between the two versions in advertising later once both were in place.  I want to submit it as just the games name itself, just wanted to make sure it wouldn't get rejected for a title inconsistency with the extra designation on the title screen. Thank you, that answered my question.

    Well...you would have to have different names. If you are going to have them in different dimensions...just have it "Title: 2D" and "Title: 3D"...it has to be different or something...
