@nart_real: Don’t get me wrong, I am not throwing shade at anyone in particular. I love indie games and indie devs, I love em a lot. But man, getting to the point where I’m mixing up a lot of games because they all use the same naming conventions, and beyond that, similar art styles. Great, unique games come out all the time with easily memorable names. Some of my favorite games have these words in them as well! Maybe we can try a little harder in the naming conventions with our new games though? I just want your games to reach as many people as possible and stand out a lot. You might get lost in the shuffle if people think you’re just like another game they’ve already seen or played! #indiegames #indiedev #steam #pcgaming #videogames

Nah, please keep idle in the title if it’s an idle game. Love being able to type idle and see if one looks like it’ll scratch my itch

Every Stardew Valley clone is named [Thing][Thing] [Place]. Sunsauce Canyon. Moonsyrup Hills. Buttjuice Caverns. Zero creativity.

signaling what your game is to your audience is incredibly important as an indie dev. I am sorry but you are wrong on this.

For me, they can title their games whatever they want as Long as they'd stop mashing crafting into everything.

I have no idea what I'm calling my game, I'm over 2 years into development and it's still just "mech ASCII" and I really don't feel like shipping with that name

Komic Insanity :
"Yet/Just Another 'X' Game" and "A Game About " and things like that are cheekily flippant and 'whatever' is tiring me out a little. It's 'haha' peak-ironic-era, millennial-coded (in a bad way), that was cute for the first 150 indie games, but it's about to be 2027 and we're not just past irony, we're past post-irony. Untitled Goose Game was the pinnacle of this naming convention, and I think it might be past time to retire it

rogue rogue rogue. Fucking rogue, I love rogue likes and lites, but all the best ones other than the genres namesake literally don't include the 'rogue' in the title. The binding of Isaac, risk of rain 2, balatro, slay the spire, Hades 1 & 2, dead cells, spelunky, enter the gungeon, FTL.

I disagree, if they take “idle” out of the game name then you won’t know which ones to avoid

Honerable mentions include “forge”, “bound”, “craft” anywhere in the title

Naming a game is quite hard but you are 100% right, me and my almost 9 month old project named “PlaceholderName” agrees with you

Idle is a good one in the name if it's an idle game, it's to easy to paint some idle games I've checked out on steam that didn't look like an idle game at first but that might be because of trying to many idle games haha
