Recently I created a thread on a game developers forum. I wanted to hear opinions about our new game possible titles. Unfortunately discusion have not solved the naming problem. I was more confused than before creating the thread. Until my friends from www.codeminion.com gave me a call. I guess you need to be gifted to create a good name and they probably are. They proposed the following names:

• Runica
• Runic Reign
• Symbols
• and just for fun I made Runique (like Diabolique ;- )

Thanks Konrad & Maciej. I like Runica the most. Short, one word name, has runes in it. Symbols is nice name too – but I think it is too far away from mystic theme of the game.

PS. Checkout Magic Match – latest puzzle game from Konrad and Maciej.

Creating great graphics for our game is one of our main goals. At the moment I am stuck with one of the waypoints in Runique game – the Dragons’ Home. I have the picture that player will reveal during play, but I can’t find good picture for background. I created little snap for you – it’s a fragment of the image you reveal during game.

PS. It’s the hottest summer in Poland since 227 years and it will be that hot until August 15th.

We’re having debate about the name for our newest game. Giving a name to a game is like giving a name to a child. There are few propositions, one of them you can see on the game annoucement page. Here are all of them:

• The Lord of the Runes
• The Runes
• Rune Master
• Rune Quest
• and few that I don’t remember at the moment.

My favourite at the moment is LOTR. It puts the game instantly in the right direction – a player expects that it’s going to be a game with fantasy theme. But them, I’m affraid that we are asking for troubles giving our game such a similar title to The Lord of the Rings (should I write here that ™ belongs to their owners?).
