Comment on Help me decide what I should name my game! Currently Country Architect, it turns out that "country" has a double meaning in English that I was not aware of

  A bit of warning : I’ve seen indie developers mention that having a single common word for their game title was a mistake. It makes it hard to search for. A combination of words or a simple phrase is better in that regard.

  Searching only for “Architect game” right now already yields a bunch of things, like a Korean MMO, actual house architect simulators, and you know, the very popular Prison Architect.

    The song Track 17 by Unknown Artist was the best song on Napster!

  Thank you so much!!! You’re right, I should have made some google poll or something, darn it.

  There are games such as Prison Architect (that are my inspiration in various ways), but I wouldn’t bee as bold as to name mine just Architect. 😅 Another idea was Nation Builder, but that also seems too generic to me. You’re the first person to explicitly say to like my Steam page (even though I am fully aware the graphics are kind of atrocious), so thanks again. I’ll keep developing this project, and see where it goes.

    Honestly, +1 for Nation Builder. Generic isn’t necessarily a problem. It gives space for the gameplay itself to define the game’s identity, rather than its title.

      I like this and had the same thought. My other thought was calling it something like “Breaking Ground”
