ps.. You might want to start off a bit smaller.

I totally agree on Joopsy his "ps." part

also your topic title is a bit confusing with the content you written.
In the title you say that you want a name for your game:
maybe try this for inspiration: game name generator

and in your content you are describing your game idea with a request for people if they would like to join you.

but good luck, and hopefully we can see the first gameplay videos very soon.

Thirded.

Don't worry about a name until you have a finished game.

I generally use generic "project" names that have nothing to do with the game itself until I come up with something I like. "Project Windmill" "Project Overworld" "Project Legion" These tell you nothing about the game--I'm practically just stealing random words from the dictionary--but it doesn't matter because, like others have pointed out, it gives me plenty of time to think of something better later when there's something there to actually play. For now, forcus on the game. It's hard for others to come up with one without being able to see it in action, after all.

Ideas for naming conventions:

Location:
Name of the land, kingdom, domain, city game is based within.
Example from current games: Albion

Character:
Name of the enemy, protagonist, notable NPCs.
Example from current games: Super Mario

Item:
Name of specific special items integral to the game.
Example from current game: The Magic Candle

Theme:
Name that inspires the idea of a theme.
Example:Legends of Valour

Combining fantasy terminology with any of the above:

Questions to support or consider.
what are your favourite books/films called? How does their title relate to the content?
What will the content of your game include in terms of plot or overall theme?
Carry a notepad around and scribble down any naming ideas you get, you often find that you can get naming ideas when you have no where to record it and then forget the idea later.

ps. If you are agonising this much over a name before creating a game, then you have a long road to travel ;o) Good luck.

mid evil world

medieval

I'm thinking something easy to understand, like "Medieval Kingdom."

Nice game concept. I have a few name ideas for you.

 

1. Nation Reborn
2. Sword of vengeance
3. Sons of Kings

Anyway, I'm working on a game called Vertical, based on the gameplay.  Choose something simple

I'm practically just stealing random words from the dictionary

... do you give them back?

1) happy kingdom

2) fighters king

3) Road of Victory

4) kill'em all

-------- Fighter Kingdom, Episode III --------

I believe the perfect name for a game like that would be somthing like " All the kings Men" or "A dark Knights Revevnge". I hope those sound good to you see yah.

The perfect name would be Fire Emblem...

oh wait...

i suggest: your the boy being told u must learn to be the new king etc etc etc

The game name generator is brilliant!

I'd recomend using a 'working title'. A games plot / essence could change dramatically during its development so that your starting name might become inappropirate for the game. - or worse, unfashionable by the time of its completion!

how about somet like "Kingmaker"

I've been taking the names from Yorkshire villages for the characters in my next game

Since you seem to be doing a game with a story. A good title name usually presents itself somewhere during the story. As you are making the story a character will say something that sounds like a good title for the game, or there will be an object that plays a big part at some point in the story and you can name it after that.

Then just like with movies and books, the player will come to the point where the game title is mentioned in the game and think "Oh, so that is why it is called 'Your Mother is your Sister'".

Working titles can also become finalized titles! :)

Last year I was taking an Advanced Game Programming class, and had planned to make an open-world racing game, with the twist of allowing players to drive on any surface (including upside-down). Of course, with only one semester to produce something playable that also looked nice, the fact that we couldn't even get our physics working correctly for 2 weeks sucked. (Note also, that this was the first time I or either of my partners had been writing code for a 3D game; our models looked awesome, though - one of my two partners had experience working on models for X-COM)

So, we fell to a backup plan game. It was a kind of sandbox, space pirate game (think Sid Meier's Pirates! Live the Life, in space). Our working title for it was "Backup Plan", and it just ended up fitting the final product pretty well :)

Lol, how very King's Quest :D Now that's a series that someone should resurrect.


As for titles, I'd suggest 'Reclaimer' or 'Sonrise' at the moment. Will write if I think of anything, but I do agree that you don't really need to be thinking of the name quite yet, so long as you know the story and characters thoroughly enough already.

Revenge of the Broken Prince..

The Black Prince and the New Power Generation Present : The Moral Genius Of The Common Law Within The Constitutional Framework Of An Abolutist Monarchy

Which obviously can be abreviated to TBPATNPGP : TMGOTCLWTCFOAAM, which is pretty peppy even if I say so myself.
