Would you rather name a game title in the forum of a noun (person, place or thing), or a verb (an action)?

Any names that involves one verb or more automatically falls under "Verb", for example "The Dragon Slayer Mark"

I myself vote prefer Nouns.

Slayer is not a verb.


A good title has nothing to do with whether it contains nouns or verbs. A good title conjures up images, questions and anticipation, whatever words are used to form it.

once could say that the name should be foreshadowing to a degree. not enough to take away from your project, but definitely enough to capture the essence.

But "Slay" is.

And derp, you're thinking about it in the wrong sense. I didn't say it had to be good or not. That's not the point of the poll.

Slay is, but Slayer is not. And you used Slayer in your title. :) You cannot say that all derivatives of a verb are also verbs.


Does the poll actually HAVE a point? What would we learn from the result? Not how to make a good title.

It's a personal opinion poll obviously. Nothing more to it. >_>

My title is a whole sentence ^^;

That being said I have no preferences whatsoever.

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
