Pirates of New Horizons

Quote from robert.briscoe

Skydogs is better

Yeah, but I kinda expect dogs with leather pilot hats on (OSSIM!) with that title, with Skyrats I strangely don't expect rats like that.

Never been a fan of your current title, so both these have thumbs up from here

i think coming up with a good name is really hard. it's not like getting a baby where you can open up a name dictionary and just browse through.

edit: probably you can look up some latin or greece words for things you associate with this sky / pirate setting and make up something truly original.

I usually take wu tang clan lyrics and run them through babelfish a few hundred times.

If I come up with a good name do I get to play a new build?

Jellyfish Air Pirates

Wait. Damn, nevermind.

Sexy Back research is kinda cool

Skyrats is cool as well, but it lacks the epicness that the demo promised. It felt very "Zelda: Ocarina of time" to me, so maybe having a subtitle, like a chapter in a series, would add to that?

Skyrats: attack of the random dungeons for example =P

A subtitle is certainly an option and I'll eventually pick your brains about it as well but we need to make sure we get the main title right first!

I think the current name is perfectly fine to be honest.

If you are certain that a new name is something you want I would use words like corsairs, privateers, buccaneers, swashbuckler, scallywags (lol) etc instead of rats.

But again, I think there's a certain appeal to the current name.

Yeah I wasn't very clear on my previous post, I like Skyrats. It is a nice parody of Seadogs, switching Sea to Sky for obvious reasons, and dog to rat because, as much as we love her, Annha is no dog! She's skinny and steals petty change from everyone she meets. She's a rat... a Skyrat!

I know this has been the topic of hot discussions, so here it is: How to pronounce Skjalg's name (skip to 2:13)

Also, is that level where Skjalg was testing the character movement just a sandbox or is it an actual in development level?
